THE first basic right of a consumer is the right to basic needs and one such fundamental need is the right to housing. Thus the proposal to make it more difficult for first-time house owners to purchase their first home is disconcerting. Bank Negara’s proposal to raise the deposit from 10% to 20% for housing loans makes access to this basic right even more difficult.

We support the more stringent measures taken to thwart speculators who seek to make access profit within the housing industry thereby creating a bubble and affect the economy negatively. However, we cannot condone the move by the Central Bank to deny those who want a roof over their heads.

Q&A with Andrew Benett, Author of 'Consumed: Rethinking Business in the Era of Mindful Spending' PDF Print E-mail

Could it be that consumers aren't quite as gullible as marketers, manufacturers, and advertisers have long assumed? Could it be that today's consumers are smarter and more informed than they have ever been when it comes to deciding whether to buy or pass on a product? Could it be that the age of mindless accumulation is gone for good, replaced by a scene in which consumers consider their purchases carefully and place more value in, well, actual value? A new book answers all of these questions with a resounding YES—and perhaps most surprising of all, the book was written not by an anti-consumerism crusader but by a marketing executive.

It's less costly when we learn from other people's mistakes than if we have to learn them the hard way. We asked Bankrate's newsletter subscribers if they had any regrets related to saving for retirement. Below are their responses. Some wish they could go back to their 20s and reset the "save" button. Others regret making particular investments. Still others would not spend so much. But one person wishes she had spent more and invested less…

As you read about the experiences of these people who were gracious enough to share their wisdom, see if there are any lessons you can learn so that you can avoid having retirement regrets.

LAST week, I had to go to KL Sentral to attend to some personal matters.

I decided to park my car at the Kelana Jaya Light Rail Transit (LRT) and take the train to my destination which seemed to be the fastest and most convenient way to travel during the after-work peak period.

I saw a barrier displaying the Touch n’ Go 'Park and Ride' tag used together with the normal cash payment mode. As I was about to enter, however, I saw no ticket dispenser which meant the facility is limited to the prepaid e-payment card users.
