No Minimum Wage Employment, People Want The Basic Guarantee
Announcement of the minimum wage rate setting private sector in Malaysia was presented by the government on 30 April 2012 at 9.00 pm the day of May 1, 2012 workers at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre.
The minimum monthly wage for private sector workers in West set at RM900 (RM4.33 per hour) and RM800 (RM3.85 per hour) for Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan. Minimum wage will be reviewed from time to time in accordance with the country's productivity, capability and competitiveness.
Commanding realizing workers demanded a minimum wage of RM1, 200 and RM1, 500, but this is not feasible. Based on the recommendation of the National Wages Consultative Council and the World Bank study, the minimum wage should not be set too high.
After a series of discussions, a decision was reached by the Council that the minimum wage will be determined based on the basic needs of working families, the ability of employers to pay wages, productivity, an increase in the cost of living and labor market conditions.
In the secular capitalist economic system, salaries paid to employees will determine production costs to be borne by the employer. If the cost of production increases due to the exercise, of course it will affect the price of your product.
So, what's the point if wages 'promoted' to a minimum and at the 'output prices also rose'.
Although the government promised to control the price hike, but usually increases apply.
As long as the economy looks secular capitalist labor only from the material aspects and tools to benefit alone, as long as it is a fundamental purpose of implementing the minimum wage will not be achieved.
In addition, for subordinates who live in big cities, is the proposed amount (RM900.00) can really cover the cost of their lives? The answer is NO!!!
While many middle-class workers as supervisors and technicians could not achieve a prosperous and peaceful life in the midst of cities surrounded by debt collectors.
In Islam, the workforce is not regarded as an object or instrument to benefit alone but every employee regarded as a human being with needs and responsibilities to fulfill.
For employees whose wages low and not sufficient to meet the needs of himself and his family, the country will guarantee the fulfillment of all aspects whether it involves the basic needs such as:
1.food,
2.clothing
3.shelter
4.other needs such as electricity,
5.water,
6.education
7.health.
So, with all the guarantees provided, there is no reason to implement an Islamic state minimum wage because in Islam the total salary is not a hallmark of well-being and prosperity.
Has not been calculated yet with common ownership such as petroleum and minerals that are very much at the heart of the earth Muslim countries, the results will be returned to the people like ensuring prosperity.
In such a situation people more depressed with the cost of living is increasing, declining health status, criminal cases are more alarming, the government is very proud to be Developed Countries effort but poor people still homeless bankruptcy owe abject poverty.

The Benefits of FOREX Trading
Many people are looking at getting into day trading, and start with studying the Stock Market, and the different stock exchanges. What many don't realize is that there are different markets and financial instruments that one can profit from. One market that has recently become available to the public to trade is the Foreign Currency Exchange, the FOREX.
The foreign exchange market is the largest financial market in the world. It trades upwards of 2.5 trillion dollars per day, which is approximately 1000 times the volume of the New York Stock Exchange. Quite easily, the foreign exchange market dwarfs the stock market of any country.
So, where is the foreign currency market? Well, unlike the stock exchanges of the world. The foreign currency market is a virtual market that is connected by the internet, phones, and fax.
The advantage of having a worldwide currency market is that it is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Living in the USA, one could trade 24 hours per day Sunday 5pm to Friday 4pm EST. One can only trade stocks during normal market hours, so for those that have jobs during the day, the FOREX market is much more accessible as trading can be done at night or early in the morning before going to work.
Other benefits of the foreign currency exchange include:
1. High Leverage: Currency brokers usually give their traders 100:1 leverage, meaning that if there is $1000.00 in ones account, they will let one control $100,000.00, which allows currency traders to reap large gains from relatively small price movements in the market.
2. High Liquidity: Because the currency market is the largest market in the world with huge daily volumes, one is always able to get in and out of trades as liquidity is never an issue.
3. Stops are always honored: Except in extremely volatile markets, which is rare, limits and stops are always honored. Because of the market's liquidity and 24 hour continuous trading periods, dangerous trading gaps are eliminated altogether. Orders are executed very quickly, without slippage. In the stock market, it is much more frequent that stops get skipped over as stock prices plummet, but in the FOREX, one can be much more confident that the stops are honored.
4. Entry orders are instant: There is no lag time in placing an order. Orders are processed instantly at the current market price, or the price at which you set the order to enter the market in the future.
5. No Commissions: There are no commissions in currency trading, the broker just takes a small difference between the bid price and the ask price as its fee for the transaction.
As currency markets are some of the most volatile markets, many fundamental variables such as weather, and war affect the price of the currency, however, since there is no one apparent reason much of the time for price movement, the fundamentals get discounted and one can use an almost purely technical approach to trading. This is why the FOREX is considered one of the most predictable trending markets that follows technical analysis methods more than any other market.
As one can see, there are many great benefits to using the FOREX as a highly profitable financial instrument. One can trade from home in their spare time, but first it is important to get a solid education in learning specific FX trading methods. Before trading in a live account, it is important to first get educated using books, or online courses. There are many courses online selling for upwards of $3000.00, but it is not necessary to spend that kind of money to get a good education. Usually the expensive courses come with DVD's and other expensive items that raise the price. Much of the time one can find a course for under $500 that teaches the exact same content for much less money.

Do-It-Yourself Financial Planning
The fight for financial freedom isn't fair. No matter what kind of spin you try to put on it, the path to comfortable living seems either impossible or too long to attempt. Many people these days are spending copious amounts of money going to see professional financial planners for advice on how to get their money situation under control. But let's be honest, while a financial planner can show you how to prioritize your spending and how to go about consolidating your debt, surely there must be a way to plan your finances that doesn't cost you visits to a professional? This article has been written to open some people's eyes to the fact that it is possible to properly plan your finances from the comfort of your own home.
The main aim when planning your finances is to make everything as simple as possible. There is nothing worse than sinking so far into depression that you can't see a way out. Whether you are in debt and looking to get out of it of if you are simply looking for a way to keep a little more spending money aside each month, the simpler you make your planning the better the result you will get. From the beginning, you need to be realistic. I'll start with the example of a single income situation, firstly you need to calculate what your net pay is per month. If you're self employed or not on a regular pay, always calculate the worst-case-scenario, what is the lowest you might get paid. Then go through your monthly bills and write down the ones that are a fixed amount. Do the same for all other bills but use the worst-case-scenario again, what is your estimation of the most that those bills might be. Add everything up and subtract it from your net income total.
Next onto the incidental expenses you might run into on a monthly basis. These might include petrol, car upkeep, public transport fares, food etc. make a list of all the little expenses you might need money for in a month. Even things that you're not sure you might need to buy. Don't add general spending money to the list, be specific. Always add more to the totals if you're not sure as you can fine tune it later. Again, subtract your total from the money left over from your bills. Don't worry if you've gone into the negative figures here, we can fix it.
Once you've got your expenses total in front of you, obviously any money that is left over is your profit for the month. In the event that you have nothing left or have gone into the minus figures, the next step is to minimize your expenses. Pretty straight forward, huh? Any incidental expenses that you might not need, remove them. And any expenses you know you will have, like food and petrol for example, really get down to the lowest spend on them. How much do you really need to spend on them? Your aim should be to save at least $50 per month after spending money. All that extra builds up and gives you a nice petty cash at the end of a few months.
If you are in a multiple-income situation, the same process applies. You need to start building up that petty cash tin. There will always be unexpected expenses, everyone knows that. In truth, the basis of comfortable living is really the knowledge that you can afford to pay for something unexpected.
To finish, all of this can be done on a piece of paper if you want to invest a little time, or you can lay it all out on an Excel spreadsheet. The way that saves the most time is to use a Financial Planning software program, you enter the numbers and the program gives you an automatic monthly planner. Whatever way you choose to go, always remember to keep it as simple as possible. When you're following a plan, the pressure on you will decrease.

Balance Transfer Credit Cards - Finding the Best Available
Balance transfer credit cards are those that make an excellent choice for transferring balances from one card to the other. The main purpose behind transferring balances is to remove debt from a card with a higher interest rate to one with a lower interest rate. In this way, the consumer can save money by reducing or even eliminating finance charges. When looking for the best balance transfer credit cards, it is important to look at a variety of factors.
The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is one of the first factors a consumer should consider when looking for the best balance transfer credit cards. Credit card companies are hoping to steal your business away from other credit card companies. As a result, they often make special introductory offers with lowered interest rates for balance transfers. In many cases, this APR will even be 0.00%. Be sure to find the balance transfer credit card offering the lowest APR, and then only use that card for your balance transfer. Don't use it to make any purchases. This is what the credit card companies are hoping consumers will do so they can assess finance charges on the purchases they make with their card.
The length of the special introductory APR varies from card to card. Sometimes, the length is also dependent upon the applicant's credit history. It is important to be sure how long this period lasts and to set goals to have the balance paid in full once the introductory period is complete. The best balance transfer credit cards will keep the special introductory rate in effect on the card for the life of the loan. In other words, the APR stays the same until it has been paid off entirely. For consumers that will not be able to pay off the balance within the introductory period, this is certainly the best way to go.
Most credit cards assess fees when making balance transfers. These fees are generally determined as a percentage of the total amount of funds transferred. Most commonly, balance transfer fees are 3% of the amount transferred. Many balance transfer credit cards will, however, waive these fees during the introductory period. It is best for consumers to choose these balance transfer credit cards. Otherwise, they may be paying large amounts in fees, negating the savings in finance charges.
Some balance transfer credit cards require initiating balance transfers at the time of application for the card. Yet others allow balance transfers to be completed throughout the duration of the introductory period. The best balance transfer credit cards are the former, simply because they allow for more flexibility. Consumers who are sure they will not need to transfer balances later may, however, be happy with a credit card that only allows transfers to be made at the time of application.
Some balance transfer credit cards place restrictions on the types of balances that can be transferred. For example, some business credit cards only allow business expenses to be eligible for introductory rates. It is important for consumers to be sure to understand what type of balances can be transferred before applying for a card to ensure it meets their needs.
Many balance transfer credit cards also have special rewards programs. Consumers need to compare the programs before deciding on a credit card so they can choose the card with the rewards program best suited to their lifestyle. In addition, some balance transfer credit cards do not count the funds that are transferred toward the points system used in the rewards programs. To get the most of the card, consumers should find balance transfer credit cards that do count the transfers toward their rewards programs.

The Safest Way To Manage Credit Card Account
The society we live in today makes it more and more difficult to manage without a credit card account. We are told that it is the safest way to buy things over the internet or abroad as purchases are often covered by insurance. We can use it to manage our budgets as there are several weeks between buying the goods and being charged interest on our purchases.
We are constantly bombarded with advertisements telling us that one particular credit card account is better than another. The number of different cards available is bewildering. All of them have benefits and, if they are used wisely they are a convenient addition to your banking facilities.
I say "wisely" with caution. It is easy to forget how much you are spending on a creditcard and then find that you can't pay the whole of the sum back when the statement comes in. The trouble is, the more you get into debt, the more difficult it is to pay back, what with interest and card protection sums on top of the balance. Some creditcard accounts make an annual charge just for using them. Therefore, the best thing to do is to pay it back as quickly as you can.
If you are organised enough, find a card that works best for you. Some give cashback when you buy goods or, if you travel a lot, they will give you air miles. Just like anything else, the companies operating the creditcard accounts are trying to entice you to purchase using their card - so make it work for you! It is important to check out the additional charges too, as well as the rate of interest. There isn't much point in using your credit card and paying it off completely when the statement arrives only to find that they charge you additional sums just for the privilege. That means you are paying more for goods that you could probably have paid for straight away.

If you buy goods online regularly, it might be a good idea to find a credit card account that offers an online fraud guarantee. This protects you from unauthorised charges being made against your card as a result of using your card online. With the reported increase in this type of crime, you could find that having this protection is very worthwhile.
With vendors now finding it easier and easier to set themselves up with credit card processing accounts you can be sure that you are going to need a credit card account for some time to come.
