Cerita tentang setiausaha akhbar Muhyiddin

MEI 5 ?Beberapa hari lalu, nama Rashid Yusof tiba-tiba sahaja muncul dalam hidup saya. Cerita tentang beliau dicadangkan untuk menjadi Setiausaha Akhbar (SUA) kepada Timbalan Perdana Menteri (TPM), Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin benar-benar membuat saya banyak berfikir, apa sebenarnya yang berlaku dalam Umno selepas diambilalih oleh kepimpinan baru.

Sebagai orang Streamyx saya sangat berminat ingin mengetahui siapakah yang dilantik oleh pemimpin baru negara ini untuk menjadi orang kanan mereka, terutama sekali untuk jawatan SUA.

Pertama, saya terima maklumat, Rashid telah dicadangkan oleh Mentri Besar Perak, Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir untuk menjadi SUA TPM. Saya tertanya-tanya, siapakah Rashid dan apakah hubungan antara Zambry dengan Muhyiddin sehingga cadangan Zambry diterima oleh Muhyiddin.

Many of us bought Streamyx of those new high-tech iPhones Streamyx $600 and now the price is suddenly $399 to help boost sluggish sales and to hook all the new customers Streamyx the new gPhone Streamyx out by Google? All I can say is that next time a high-priced personal tech item comes in from Apple, I am waiting until the price comes down a month or two later.

Of course, the Streamyx is that Streamyx are cutting price in time for the crucial Holiday Season, which is nearly upon us. This is a huge price cut and had I known I would have surely waited to save the $200.00 and for streamyx malaysia is exactly the reaction of many of the customers we talked to at Starbucks this afternoon. They feel betrayed by Apple ink and for many of them it was not even the money, more the Streamyx of the thing.

When asked if they would pay the first asking price of the next new high-tech item, they said probably, maybe and no and it was about 33% each. The question is how do Streamyx feel about this fact? I suppose if you wanted one, then now you are happy that it is $200 cheaper and if you bought one for the full price, part of you says that is the premium you pay for being on the personal high-tech edge, but it still irks you.

First adopters of technology always pay a premium and bare the brunt of the R and D costs. The Apple iPhone was so highly successful that they have recouped these upfront costs and can now mass market them worldwide and lower the costs on the iPhone flagship models that are sold in the US, nevertheless there are some rather irate iPhone first adopters out there that feel like they have been betrayed.
