It was raining on this not-so-beautiful Sunday morning. Since I had paid 100 bloody Ringgit, I made myself wake up to attend the NDO.
.
So where is NDO held? BTH - Berjaya Times Hotel.
.
I bet you are wondering what the h*ell does NDO means. I had that question too, when I signed up for it on on Thursday. So I asked this Aylex guy and Sky. This stupid sonofabitch and Sky had the audacity to tell me, “I don’t know.”
Now, you’ve been to this NDO thing 5 or 6 times and you don’t know what NDO stands for?! And you want me to give you 2500 Ringgit so that I can tell other people ‘I-don’t-know’ when they ask me what is NDO or OPP or MOD?!
.
The above example is the lousiest sales person(s) on earth. He wouldn’t last 2 minutes in Citibank as salesman. Even the stupidest salesman knows not to use acronyms or lingo (that you use with your colleagues) to a client. You make me, the client/customer, feel stupid. You make me feel left out. And if you don’t know what it stands for, you’re wasting my time listening to you who don’t know your own company.
.
Back to the New Distributors’ Orientation.
There were about 1200 people attending NDO. One thing I couldn’t believe is that the speakers liked to remind us that they are here (in BTH), volunteering their Sundays for us. Let us do some math, shall we? 100 Ringgit per person x 1200. That’s 120,000 Ringgit. The ballroom and lunch would cost about 60,000. That means the organisers make a profit of 60,000 Ringgit. Not bad for volunteering every month for NDO, huh?!
.
There were 4 sessions altogether. Each session approximately one and a half hours. So all these people who had made tonnes of money from other businesses gave talks about how they made even more money by joining the MLM world. Basically, it’s a 8 hour brainwash session. You go in, you come out brainwashed with nothing but greed for money. Despite my deep repulsion against all things MLM, I was also a little convinced… I mean “brainwashed” when I came out. It took me a week or so to get over it.
.
Session 1, the speaker talked about what is MLM, comparing it to a conventional product chain. Normal merchandise goes through the factory –> distributor –> shop –> consumer. But for MLM it’s factory –> distributor consumer. Therefore, it is cheaper than normal merchandise. That’s what he said.
We all know this is bullcrap! There are so many up-line, down-line, left-line and right-line that takes a piece of the earnings until the price of the product has to be inflated to a f*cking huge amount to support all those crap-lines. The products are so over-priced that they cannot be justified. Remember the 85,000 Ringgit catalytic burner?
.
There were a few things he said that I just can’t tahan and have to refute it here.
“Oil price is increasing, Don’t you want to be in the oil business too? The essential oil business lah.”
WTF?! Eh uncle, your mom give birth to you with no brain izzit?! What has petrol price increase got to do with essential oil?!
“Benefit of lampe berger: ioniser, ozoniser, aroma therapy, adds oxygen (O2) to the air…”
Now, lampe berger is mainly a piece of catalytic burner (which is made of clay). [1] It can’t ionise the air because there’s no electric involved. [2] It can’t ozonise because it takes sunlight and lots of energy to create ozone gas (O3), and even more energy to maintain the ozone gas structure. Also, ozone is poisonous (to bacteria and human). If your bloody lampe can generate lots of ozone, it would be banned. [3] Only trees adds O2 to the air. Weren’t you listening in your Standard 5 science class?
.
Session 2, succeeding in the business. It was a waste of time, this session. It’s showing a list of cliches of how to succeed. Example, Set your goals, be genuine and sincere, work hard, understand and accept network marketing, be disciplined, blah…blah…blah…
.
Oh, this little incident happened. The speaker, Mervyn Lim mentioned something about FBI and CIA (Federal Bureau of Investigation & Central Intelligence Agency - of USA). So the idiot next-next to me asked Aylex what is FBI. He answered that FBI is the police force for the whole world while CIA is the police force in charge of Asia. Now start laughing your @$$ out!
.
Session 3, your financial future. It was all about the pyramid scheme of DCHL and how it looks like. Nothing much.
.
Session 4, closing. This irritating old man went up the stage and gave a very long rhetoric of why we must love money why we must join DCHL. He was loud and boastful. Utterly disgusting. I almost stormed out of the room because I just can’t tahan that fella.
.
Session 4.5, overall closing. The emcee (Marcus) turned off the lights and asked everyone to close their eyes. Then he went on the do those kind of emotional think-of-your-mom-think-of-your-dad-think-of-what-you-can-do kind of stuff that I am so sick off. Marcus, please F*ck off! I’m not into this kind of horse shit.
.
After 8 hours of brainwashing, I came out wanting to go home. But it seems that this Aylex guy had bought a 20 Ringgit ticket on behalf of me to a gathering to meet chief conman — Steven Yeam the next day. I had told him I have my hesitation in attending the gathering. Yet he bought the tickets anyway. I’m going to bloody-h*ll fire his arse the next time I see him.
.
Moral of the story,
.
The whole company is a scam. You may think you’ll make lots of money if you join the company. The fact is that you would spend more, and chief conman earning buckets out of you. Everytime you cheat a jackass, you’ll have to accompany that jackass to NDO, OPP, MOD, the Steven Yeam Show and what not.
.
So where does all these money go to? To Steven Yeam’s pocket obviously.
.
Also, when you buy a product (such as the RM85000 burner), he takes a cut of the earning as the top of the pyramid. Since he also owns the whole company, he also earns from the profit of selling you the product through the company.
.
There’s another problem with the system. How do you pay income tax? Something you didn’t think about, eh?!
You don’t have to pay taxes? You are in for helluva trouble in a few years time.
.
Yours Sincerely,
the CRapologist.

P.S. I hope those who are in MLM, especially DCHL members somehow stumble upon this article and read it. And and damn h*ll hope they get furious and make a bloody fuss out of it. DCHL and MLM companies can go FUCK themselves burn in the eternal flames of HELL!
