TKL Website (www.tankinlian.com)

Do this survey. Thank you.

I created the TKL website using the PDF centric format in August 2010, slightly more than 4 months ago. I wish to share my experience with this style of website:
Positive
1. It is easy for me to create content in PDF and to upload them into the website. I create several PDF each week.
2. It is easy to search for the PDF using the keyword. I have to use it often to locate PDF to answer questions from my readers.
3. My reader are able to use the "Enquiry" tab to send questions to me. I receive a few questions daily.
4. It is fast to retrieve information from my website, using the web browser.
Negative
1. Some readers said that they had difficulty in reading the PDF on their mobile device. I am not able to find a solution to this weakness. My intent is that the PDF should be read on a web browser and not a mobile device. I have tried to use the HTML format, but I found it difficult to embed graphics in the HTML format under the database structure of this website.

Overview
I believe that a public or business corporation should have an actively managed website with dynamic content and allow the public to search for information in an easy and fast way. The PDF centric website seems to provide this capability. The ease of creating content on PDF should encourage the corporation to have an active website, compared to the traditional HTML website.

I welcome feedback and suggestions to be posted here or sent to kinlian@gmail.com.

Private Shield and the well off

Are you well off?
If you are - it is all right to have private shield, as you can afford the higher premium and higher co-payment  and you are assured of a better choice of doctors.
But, if you are not well off, and money is an issue, do read these FAQs:

Do not be mistaken that private shield will cover more of your medical bills. They do not. With a private shield, you are likely to end up paying more for your medical treatment. Whether you really get better quality of treatment is a separate issue.

Suzy Orman and Life Insurance agents

Suzy Orman does not like life insurance agents. Watch this video for the reasons.

Life insurance - its useful role

Most of the life insurance policies sold in the market in Singapore are bad for consumers, as they take a lot of money and give a poor yield. But life insurance, as a tool for managing personal finances is good, provided that is is designed to give a fair yield to consumers. It has to be sold directly. See this article.

Motor insurance with Direct Asia

I recommended a friend to check with Direct Asia on the motor insurance for her car. She obtained a lower quote than her existing insurer and moved to Direct Asia. She found their service to be excellent. She preferred to deal directly with the insurance company, rather than go through an agent. See: www.directasia.com

The Absurdity and Surrealism of the Warrior Special Offer Forum | BusinessAndLegal.ie

Because as I write this a cursory glance at the threads on this “sub-forum” will offer you a good look at the triumph of hope and greed over good sense and even the most basic ability to think straight.

If you want  “to make $3,000 per month with a simple Facebook account”, “465 dollars in 4 hours”, “$25 and less than 1 hour worth of work, replaced my weekly salary”,”$2,000 in 30 minutes? No way”, “$2,550 in One Week..double money guarantee” then the Warrior Special Offers forum is for you.

But before you click away from this site to mine the new riches that can be yours with a simple mouse click, 20 minutes work and an internet connection lets get this straight..

1.       Some genius has discovered an ingenious way to turn the world wide web into his private ATM machine;

2.       It will only involve an investment on your part of $7, $17, $27, $37, $47 and four hours of work per week(or 20 minutes daily if you prefer);

3.       And he/she is prepared to give you this ball breaking information immediately if you whip out your credit card and hit the “Buy Now” button.

Let me ask you one simple question.
