Auction is one of those keys.<\/p>\n<p>Many think of auction as an event within the movies and dramas on<br \/>\ntelevision. It&#8217;s closer than you think here in Malaysia. As an<br \/>\nauctioneer for the past 13 years and counting, I hope to enlighten even<br \/>\nmore investors about auction. AuctioNEWS will continue to share the<br \/>\ninteresting aspects of auction and how all could benefit from it too.<br \/>\nImagine this. A man in suit conducting a competitive bidding with a pool<br \/>\nof crowd sitting in front of him. The man points at the bidder in the<br \/>\ncrowd who raises up the number card. All the while, raising his voice<br \/>\nand the suspense. Calling ONCE, calling TWICE and&#8230; SOLD! A loud and<br \/>\nclear hammering sound sealed the sale. The bidder might just be you. A<br \/>\nfew years later, the asset that you bid may give you good returns!<\/p>\n<p>But then, why the use of a hammer (auction)? In judicial process, a<br \/>\nhammer represents justice. News coverage about legal and court judgments<br \/>\nare usually complemented by an image of a hammer. Judges hand their<br \/>\njudgement with a hammer and auction does the same thing to seal a deal!<br \/>\nWhat do these two share in common?<\/p>\n<p>They share the same principle of fairness. Auction strives to provide<br \/>\nequal opportunity for everyone to bid for it. It aims to provide all<br \/>\nstakeholders with the best possible value. Auction does not favour<br \/>\nanyone. It sells to the highest offer. It is done through an open and<br \/>\ntransparent platform, under public eyes and scrutiny. In our daily life,<br \/>\nwe want to be treated equally regardless of race and religion. Every<br \/>\ncitizen wants fair opportunity with no unfair interference. This is why<br \/>\nI love auction. Let us enhance investments through sharing of insights<br \/>\nabout auctions. AuctioNEWS covers good deals, invaluable knowledge and<br \/>\nimportant information.<\/p>\n<p>We are here to serve you. Let us be your best auction partner.
