What can $2 do for you?

With $2, what can you get out of it?

A bowl of mee soup? No, not in Kl, Johore or Penang. It's $3-5 per bowl.

Can we buy toothpaste for $2? No, toothbrush is about $5 and toothpaste is $6

Well, it may be enough to pay a one way toll at Kesas Highway. It is $1.50 but then, you will have to pay at entry point and pay again at exit - that's $3.

Ok, ok, let's see what we can get with $2.

Harry Boswell, 70, made Malacca his Second Home.

His house is designed with refrigeration concept that it only cost him $2 a day to run 4 airconditioner units, 24 hours a day, at a temperature of 24 degree Celsius.

Boswell constructed his ceiling at 2.5m height to keep the air inside cool. He used aerated concrete blocks for the walls as they are resistant to heat. Beneath the laminated floor, he used 50mm thick polyurethane to prevent cool air from escaping to the ground.

So, that's what $2 can do.

Isn't it value for money?


Due to intense competition, fitness centers are also giving you value for money.

Often, you may find promotions at centers that may offer $2 for an hour of exercise.

That's a good offer ... take it!

However, please asked them whether the fees are for limited period or lifetime.

Well, at least, $2 can help you get slim and healthy.

However, there is one man who wants something more innovative and satisfying.

He is ....



an Indonesian man from Subang Jaya. He befriended a 13-year-old teenage boy at his mother's restaurant in Sri Kebangan a few weeks ago and offered the boy $2 to masturbate him.

The boy did a hand job for the man 16 times and was paid for each session, except the last.

When the boy demand from him the balance outstanding fees, the man beat him up. The boy was angry and decided to spent his earnings at a cyber cafe. When the mother discovered his delinquency, he confessed that he earned his money the hard way and tell the whole episode to his mother.

A police report was lodged and the man was arrested yesterday

- the END of the $2 story ...........
