In 2022, Bank Negara gave out five digital banking licenses. Four years later, none of these banks are profitable yet. We break down how digital banks work, why artificial intelligence (AI) helps small teams run a whole bank, and why small business owners need them the most.

In this episode, we sit down with Hezeri, a car reviewer with 25 years in the industry, to talk about the truths of buying a car that most reviewers won't say out loud. We break down why getting your loan approved doesn't mean you can afford the car, from maintenance costs that climb after year 5 to warranty fine print and the hidden risks of a 9-year car loan. Learn why repair bills are pushing some car owners into microloans, why test drive routes are chosen to hide a car's weaknesses, why you should never cheap out on tyres, and why it's time to stop treating cars like handbags. Hezeri also shares why he gave up a well-paid career to chase his dream, and why he'd rather get blacklisted than lie about a car.✅ Find out your Selamat value with the Selamat Calculator: https://finlit.my/selamatcalculatorChapter Marker:00:00 - Teaser00:24 - Introduction00:39 - The Biggest Car Buying Mistake01:43 - Loan Approved Doesn't Mean You Can Afford It03:59 - Recon vs New Cars07:11 - Why 9-Year Car Loans Are a Trap08:24 - Why Workshops Now Offer Microloans10:58 - Buying a Nice Car to Look Successful11:51 - Malaysia's Used Car Pile-Up13:48 - Why You Can't Buy Cars From Singapore15:21 - Growing Up in Kuantan19:01 - Taking a Pay Cut to Chase His Dream30:47 - Getting Blacklisted for Telling the Truth32:06 - Volvo & The Value of Safety34:36 - The Selamat Calculator40:40 - How Dangerous Is Driving Really?44:49 - Why You Shouldn't Cheap Out on Tyre's51:10 - Read the Warranty Fine Print59:18 - Are Malaysian Car Prices Fair?01:04:39 - Why MPVs Should Be Cheaper01:06:02 - The Diesel Price Problem01:10:55 - What the Government Should Do01:14:32 - CKD vs CBU: Is There a Difference?01:17:44 - Hezeri's Lesson About Money#MrMoneyTV #CarBuyingTips #CarLoanMalaysia #PersonalFinanceMalaysia #CarReviewer #BuyingACar #CarMaintenance #VolvoCarMalaysia #SelamatCalculator #MalaysianPodcast #MoneyManagement #SmartSpending #FinancialLiteracyCome say Hi to us at,🌐 Website: https://www.mrmoneytv.com/📘 Facebook: /mrmoneytv🐦 Twitter: https://x.com/mrmoneytvchnl?s=21📱 Instagram: /mrmoneytv🖊️ LinkedIn: /mr-money-tv🤳 TikTok: @mrmoneytvchannel🎙️ Podcast: [https://open.spotify.com/show/1EhftKYdbpC0C2VnTJOO2K]For business & job enquiries, do contact us at,✉️ [email protected]: This is not investment advice.
