Tune Hotel is now open

*This is not a sponsored post*

After a slight delay (approximately 10 days), Tune Hotel is now officially open today. It is a new concept hotel which offers 5-star bed, power showers, 24-hour security and convenience facilities in the center of Kuala Lumpur at the price from MYR10 only. The founder of this hotel is Datuk Tony Fernandes who started AirAsia. I hope the service is not always delay like the airline.

It is called 'no-frills' hotel. They will provide you with the basic as what i mentioned just now and the rest you have to pay if you use it. For example, they provide you with fan for free but if you would like to use the air-cond, they will charge you MYR5 for 5 hours or MYR10 for 12 hours. This also applies to towel ranging from MYR10 to MYR15, toiletries; shampoo & 2 soaps for MYR2, and a set of breakfast (a hot cup of aromatic white coffee with a slice of delicious kaya toast) for MYR3.

The location of this hotel is superb. It is near to public transport like LRT, bus stop and taxi stand. Top tourist attractions like KLCC, Asian Heritage row, KL tower and bintang walk are minutes away.

This hotel truly understand the travelers' need. The facilities is designed to cater for travelers like lonely planet. They have 24-hour convenience store, kopitiam for good Malaysian foods, 24-hour free internet connection (you can even bring your own laptop) and ATM & Bureau De Change for withdrawal or change your cash.

Most of all, you can book your room online 24-7. Truly a new concept with travelers' need in mind. Check this spanking red & white hotel today.

"My opinion: This is brilliant idea, hotel provides the basic at 5-star service and you pay more if you need better comfort. With that price, it is a value for money."

"p/s: Tony is now venturing concurrently into Tune Money "no-frills" financial products such as unit trust and insurance. Looks like Tony is following the footstep of Richard Branson, Virgin owner."

If you need more information about the hotel, please leave in the comment. I will revert back in the same comment column.

Installation new King

Installation ceremony steeped in tradition

The 13th King & Queen of Malaysia

Tunku Mizan Zainal Abidin was yesterday installed as the Malaysia's 13th King in a glittering ceremony steeped in tradition at Balairong Seri of Istana Negara. He pledge to govern the national with utmost fairness and ensure a just and peaceful administration. After that, a nafiri (trumpet) was sounded, followed by the playing of the nobat raja bertabal by the Royal Terengganu Nobat Group. This was followed by a 21-gun salute and rendition of NegaraKu by the Royal Armoured Corps.

I personally likes his speech:

"I admit it's not easy for a multiracial population to live in peace and harmony. Look around us. Not many are successful; more have failed. We must maintain this precious unity to the best we can. Coexisting requires us to understand, respect and be tolerant of each other."

Simple but deep! I hope he can make a change to our country.
