Congratulation to our team member – Sunzi Lim, for successfully pass the test and now is officially a Paypal Certified Developer. This is another credential adding to neowave e-commerce team as we strive best to provide the best e-commerce solution to our business clients.
As you can see on the list, Sunzi, unfortunately, is not the first Paypal Certified Developer from Malaysia. Voon Chong has been a step quicker. Still, there’s only 2 Paypal Certified Developer in Malaysia so far and we know both of them!
okok. we better leave him alone for now as he’s busy working on Paypal Express Checkout, to be built into webShaper e-commerce – our de facto search engine friendly shopping cart software products!
Do you know Paypal is setting up their International Support (International means anything but US / UK) at Singapore?

So they are actually not too far from us in Malaysia.
For those in johor, it’s even nearer. In the event Paypal block your account without any reasons, at least now you can take a cheap flight to Singapore and do something like this to them ( ;>

Disclaimer: We do not condone any violent act and we will NOT take responsibility for your “art work” as a result of reading this blog post. Bear in mind Singapore Cops are very efficient bunch.
Last but not least, we have news from paypal insider that Paypal might be able to supports withdrawals to Malaysia Business Bank Account in coming 6 ~ 9 months time (hopefully this time is for real…)! keep your finger crossed!

Just when you think they are actually competing payment gateways, now WorldPay has integrated Paypal as one of the payment options in their standard payment gateway services.
2Checkout, one of the payment gateways that works for local merchant selling internationally, has been supporting paypal since 2007.
Interestingly, Paypal appear more and more “Visa” and “Mastercard” like. If their growth continue at such a fast-pace rate, especially in the International Markets, soon the below icon will become a standard at most of website that takes online payment. (i predict in 5 years time).
The apparent different is, with Paypal, you don’t actually need a card.

Don’t be surprised if you find Paypal in Malaysia Payment Gateways (Eg iPay88 & nbepay ) soon in not too distanced future (we hope).

Google has launched its own browsers (after rumors for so so long…) – codename “Google Chrome” to party in the crowd of IE, Firefox, Opera & Safari.
So does it mean web designers need to cater for (yet) another browser compatibility when it comes to CSS, Javascript etc? We shall see!
It better be good. Let’s see what’s the genius of Google have to offer in a browsers this time soon. The google browser download should be available anytime from now.

Some Chrome’s Highlights
- Includes a brand-new JavaScript virtual based Javascript compiler from a Danish group called V8.
- Tabs wil go above the window, not below the address bar
- Location bar will support auto-complete functions and suggests web pages you’ve previously visited (or those you haven’t)
- There will be a privacy mode (geek terms – “Incognito” Window) that allows you to surf without saving any personal history. (interesting, wonder how google suppose to deliver us more relevant ad?)
- Chrome will constantly download updated information about web sites with malicious codes
