RM43,320 for a Acer Notebook?

Only in a land, known as Malaysia, that you are able to do thing that is unimaginable. This is mainly because the Malaysia Government has been promoting the "Malaysia Can" slogan, commonly known as "Malaysia Boleh".

Malaysia Government has been very successfully in breeding super talented entrepreneurs who are the best marketer in the world. Their ability to market a common item and have it sold for more than 10 times higher than market price to many Government agencies put many Chartered Marketers from the prestigious Chartered Institute of Marketing, UK, to shame.

This group of Malaysian Entrepreneurs need not apply basic Marketing principles, forget about the 4Ps or 7Ps, (Product, Promotion, Place, Price, People, Process, Physical Evidence) they most probably need to apply 3B, that is Bribe, Bribe and Bribe.

Need prove of their ability? If they can sell to a Collage 2 unit of Acer Notebook (Acer Aspire-5052ANWXMI) which based on www.naaptol.com published price of Rs27,490 each (RM2,000.00) for a whopping price of RM42,320 each!! Total selling price for 2 units of Acer Aspire-5052ANWXMI is RM84,640.00!! Although, it is unclear when these 2 units of Acer Notebook has been sold, and the market price then could be slightly higher, but definiely not anywhere 5 digits.

To further proven their marketing skill, they manage to sell it to a College! It is report in the Star newspaper that this college is Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi Mara Balik Pulau in Penang.

I wonder what will be the quality of this college product.

Conclusion? Anything can happen in the Land known as Malaysia. This is Malaysia lah, truly Malaysia! Amazing Malaysia!
