Next Step for IKEA Malaysia

Posted on June 24, 2008  in Capitalism, Design

Yay me for keeping up with this one post per month trend. Anyways, this particular post for the hot ass month of June is not so much of annoyance, more like a suggestion. Yes, don’t expect my bitterness swing into action in this one. As we all know, Malaysians worship Ikea, and would buy anything thrown in their way, no matter how shitty or useless. If I put an Ikea label on my cat’s poop and display it on one of their shelves, I guarantee you it’s the first damn thing people would put in their carts.

Anyways, being the ignorant twat that I am, I recently came across this interesting concept from Ikea called “BoKlok”, which sounded like something that came from your ass instead of what it should be (isn’t everything from Ikea like that?). BoKlok is a new concept of housing that involves providing space-saving, functional and high quality properties at a price that enables as many people as possible to afford a comfortable home. In other words, a big ass flat packed furniture you can live in. Yes, the Malaysian property scene is booming and as more shitty developers and contractors came into play, we need something like this. Best of all, Ikea get to choose their buyers based on a few criteria of which I’m sure one of them includes did you wear deodorant or not, so you won’t get shitty neighbours! How awesome is that?

Last year, they started accepting applications for their units in the UK. Why don’t Ikea take a step further and introduce this concept here in Malaysia? One baby step towards world domination! Let’s see, I think they could work out sub 200k price for small flat type homes in non-central location. By flat I don’t mean those filthy disgusting pigeon holes, shrinked terrace houses perhaps is the correct term here. Two bedrooms, one or two bath, good for new families and single executives. Best of all, we’ll get our own parking spot within few steps from the front door. OMG I sounded like Bethany my property agent. I should put on extra 30kg, wear anything but black and dye my hair the color of roadkill so I would look like her gorgeous self.

Anyways, do check out BoKlok website if you give a shit. Ikea for Prime Minister!

    I dont know why we are so dumb. Have u guys seen what they’re stuff is made off? Looks pretty on the outside but fake on the inside. Plus, it may fall apart in 6 months or a screw may start to pop out. Guess that reflects society nowadays doesn’t it. Wake up lah, why is it if its mat-salleh u respect, respect? Just because?
