Mlabs Systems, Onliner team up to provide e-commerce services

News on 10th August 2017. By AMIR HISYAM RASID 

KUALA LUMPUR: Mlabs Systems Bhd has teamed up with Thai-based Onliner Company Ltd to provide Wi-Fi and e-commerce services in Chatuchak market in Bangkok, Thailand.

With the partnership, the company expects to add a new revenue stream of RM120,000 per year following its partnership for a tenure of five years.

While the figure may seem small for a company with a market capitalisation of over RM30 million, director Prof Sureswaran Ramadass said the partnership is a stepping stone for Mlabs to spread its wings into Thailand.

Onliner currently holds a five-year concession from the country’s State Railway to set up Wi-Fi services in Chatuchak.

The company said it aims to secure similar projects and is open to work with Mlabs in the future.

Mlabs’ wholly-owned unit, Multimedia Research Lab (MRL) today entered into a collaboration agreement with Onliner.

Both companies will jointly develop mobile applications that can provide online trading services to tap a large number of visitors at the market.

The mobile app will also consist of indoor mapping of Chatuchak as well as live video streaming to showcase goods and services provided at the market.

“The development roadmap for Onliner and MRL is to enable the bargaining of pricing for bulk purchases between a buyer anywhere in the world and retailers in Chathucak.

“Plans are also underway for the introduction of an e-payment or e-wallet to shoppers for a safer, cashless market place,” said Sureswaran.

Sureswaran said it will invest up to RM800,000 during the early stages of the project and will consider a higher commitment when Onliner secures similar projects in Thailand and overseas.

Central Residence – My Home

It’s almost two year staying in Central Residence. Time flies. Very soon we will have our first AGM which will form JMB. One of the things I like staying here is my unit is pretty nearby the lift which takes me to the gym at 26th floor. Save time hehe…

Secondly, I also like the location. When I wanna take RapidKL (known as LRT), I will just park my car at Sungai Besi station which is just less than 5 min away.

Look forward for the Kuchai Lama (S23) and Taman Naga Emas (S24) MRT station will complete in few years time. Hopefully there will be an overhead bridge and nice covered walkway to Taman Naga Emas MRT station that time.

p/s for those who want to sell / rent out your unit, you may want contact 016-277 5883

Wednesday Morning Gym session

This morning woke up a little earlier. Last Sunday, I decided to have more exercise session. Instead of just Sunday football session, I want to exercise also during weekend. I pick Wednesday so that I can have some rest after Sunday’s football. And I also learned from my friend who is a sport teacher that to keep the stamina, we need to maintain it every 3 days.

I plan to start to exercise from 7 AM (that is the time the gym room in my service apartment opens) until 7.45AM. Then take a bath, breakfast and leave to work. So I set my alarm to 6.30AM. It rang. After closed my alarm, I still laze around my bed for few minutes. Feel so hard to get out from it hehe…Then around 7AM I left my house. Thankfully the distance from my unit to the gym floor only 2-3 minutes.

When I reach there at 7.05AM, the gym room is not yet open. Sigh! I went to the ground floor and ask the guard to open the gym room. So I started my brisk walking exercise on the treadmill from 7.20AM and finished by 7.45AM. Although just a short session, but I feel great. Using the sport band, I can see that I have walked 3600 steps.

Then I have my organic oat which I prepared yesterday’s night. I soak it with soy milk (without sugar) and chia seed. While serving it, I added an apple as suggested by my girlfriend and added extra soy milk because it is pretty think. I think because of the chia seed. Have a great day!
