BUKIT LANJAN: Impressive Lazada – RM100 million sales in a day but …

It was enlightening to read The Star Online posting titled “Lazada Malaysia smashes sales record on Nov 11”.

Enlightening because it shows that Malaysians are, after all, not so lagging in the digital era – as far as e-commerce is concerned.

“That’s very good for Malaysians who have embraced cyberspace to keep up with global e-developments,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

However, Syed Razak said, Malaysians must be cautious with their digital transactions, especially when it involves transfer of funds.

“Lazada is a proven reliable e-commerce App with a proven track record. However, there are many other so-called e-commerce Apps that are unreliable and they are being shared and promoted on social websites, especially Facebook,” he added.

“I have a friend who was billed RM1,628.87 by Citibank in October 2016. It was for an Apple phone which Citibank said was a valid transaction.

“Till today, he has yet to receive his Apple phone. And Citibank told this friend of mine that he has to deal directly with the merchant in Panama!

“So much for talk of customer service and protection. In fact, he had almost immediately informed Citibank to cancel the transaction and credit card,” he added.

 Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said his friend was still waiting patiently for the delivery of his hand phone but “he doubts he will ever get it”.

“He is contemplating to take the trouble to lodge a commercial crime report with Bukit Aman but he says, on the other hand, let others be also cheated and they will lose confidence in the use of the bank’s credit cards,” he added.

Syed Razak said even paying via a credit card issued by Citibank to a merchant that was fully supported by Citibank did not guarantee a sale was good.

“What more via Apps,” he added.

Resell says the successful start of Lazada's Online Revolution campaign shows "the growing trust and relevancy of e-commerce in Malaysia.”

KUALA LUMPUR: Lazada Malaysia has broken a new sales record on 11.11 when it kicked off its month-long Online Revolution campaign.

The Single’s Day event generated more than RM100mil of gross merchandise value (GMV), the online shopping portal said in a statement.

Lazada Malaysia chief executive officer Hans-Peter Resell said, “The successful start of our Online Revolution campaign showcases the growing trust and relevancy of e-commerce in Malaysia.”

Lazada Malaysia’s website and apps had about 10 million visits in a single day, representing a threefold uplift versus 2016.

At its peak, it recorded an estimated 1,400 transactions per minute, it said.

Lazada Malaysia said the highest selling products in the first 24 hours were Petronas Fuel Cards, Milo 2.2kg and Pineng Powerbanks."

The recommendation on Thursday by the Norwegian Central Bank, which manages the fund, is potentially the biggest advance yet for a global fossil-fuel divestment campaign that has been promoted on college campuses and by environmental activists. It could also be a setback for the proposed initial public offering of the Saudi national oil company, known as Aramco, since the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, would be a potentially la

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up It is quite obvious that something is not very right with the way the Department of Occupational Health and Safety (DOSH) and all related construction authorities are monitoring work safety at construction sites. There have been quite a number of tragic and non-tragic incidents at construction sites recently and yet accidents continue to recur despite DOSH’s claims that it has set up safety committees to tighten inspections. Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said: “There was the woman who was crushed to death by a crane hook that fell on her Perodua Kelisa from 20 storeys up. “This was followed by the collapse of the KL Eco City pedestrian bridge that claimed a life. And now a crane has collapsed at the Bandar Damansara Perdana (BDP) construction site.” Syed Razak said such tragic and non-tragic mishaps at construction would not occur or could have been avoided if high and competent constr
