The excitement after placing the order will only last temporarily. I was really excited too after my order and felt like I couldn't wait. But as time went by, I cooled down.

TNB has no competitors, it's a product that you need. the more you want it, the more they ask you to pay. malaysia so hot, you dont want to use fan or aircon meh? you still need mah. the only problem is the fixed selling price. if not for that, i think TNB make even more money, but then again, everyone in malaysia will riot. the problem is, most that you mentioned have competitors or items/services that ppl do not need.
