Samsung Galaxy S4 price in Malaysia - RM2,199

Yes, that is the announced Recommended Retail Price, RRP in Malaysia.

To be retailed at RM2,199 un-locked/ without SIM card

While there is no official announcement yet from Samsung Malaysia, it is obvious the official retail price for the Galaxy S4 is RM2,199 - phone set only, without data plan/ contract. One of the local telecommunications service providers - purposely or otherwise - revealed the RRP in its website.

According to DiGi store online, the S4 will be available in the local market at the end of this month, which is just few days away from now. If you subscribe to the telco's data plan, you can buy it for as low as RM1,199.

It seem that Apple is playing catch-up again with Samsung. iPhone 5S is no where to be heard of yet.

How to identify venomous snakes

How do you identify venomous snakes? AntiPest has the answer.

Although snakebites are pretty common inMalaysia, it is extremely important to recognize which snakes are venomous or non venomous so we do not necessarily panic, thinking that we might be paralyzed in an hour or so. The thing is, 17 out of 105 species of land snakes are venomous so we do not have to wring our hair out when we chance upon a snake.



This is how:-

  1. Always study the head shape of the snake you have encountered. If the head is triangular, it is most likely a venomous snake. The head of a non-venomous snake looks pretty much the same like the rest of its body. In short, if the head bulges out, it’s probably venomous.

  2. If you are close enough to see its eyes, most venomous snakes possess vertical eye slits while most non-venomous snakes have round pupils. However, a small number of venomous snakes have round pupils, so just be wary if you see a snake.
