I still shocked about the chain reaction that we have triggered, but Jess, at least one good sign is your blog is getting more and more ppl visit, this could keep on growing le.. I think you owe me a lunch for making your blog famous la. hehe.. joking..

I’ve also been reading [Namaste Frugal Club] whole day fr office to home, so far 61 comments :O like reading a novel le..

Anyhow, i hope that tj can revive yz, there is also the all the members hope too, we can’t find other places to practice yoga so enjoyable, friends we’ve made, going to yz yoga in fact already became our daily lifestyle now. tj, you have made it ‘Yogazone is a lifestyle’ now.

This time I have no more question to ask lo, Jess, you have more then enough visitors lo..

Hi Jess, thanks for your blog. You have done a good job to start this topic, otherwise we as memebers are still in the dark and keep on guessing…

Agree to you that we don’t want to see TJ ‘die’ and closure of the YZ/YC outlets. I love the concept and the teachers. I love yoga because of their influences. But seems he is going to disappoint us as situation getting worse. Lesser teachers and front desk staffs and cleaners also all left at Cheras and Sri Petaling branches. Too long not going to Klang branch and wonder how is the situation there. But believe the same at all the outlets.

I’m very disapointed with you all. From the conversation above I know some of you must be the staff there. Why you guy spreading rumours, dun you realise you “killing” youself? No matter it’s the truth or not I think we shouldn’t spoil other reputation. You making SIN! Yogi should have YOGA MIND. If I not mistaken, few of you must be yoga teacher, why your attitude like a “DEVIL”. Although you have the right to speak but have you ever think of the consequences, the no. of victim involved? In the situation now, we should try our best to help, not to make the situation worst. Do you think what you doing now will help to solve all the problem. You only making it worst. Please think before you act, you are not a child.

Hi, Cindelella, You are in the wrong place. You should leave your msg in [Namaste Frugal Club].

Jess, Yoga Lover and Fei merely the yz members (hope that not the victims ultimately).

Anyway if you talk in [Namaste Frugal Club], i don’t think anybody would listen to u, they are unstoppable now..

YogaJess says: So you know YogaLover too? Ah, good! lol, you are right, they are unstoppable right now. I was wondering, those teachers is really fierce hor. Scare me only. hehe. But anyone would do anything when it involved money.

Hi,Cindelella,I get what you mean,but you couldn’t blame them because if you are one of them who had been trying to cover up for Yogazone for not few months but for a year and keep giving them chance to solve problems but things just get worse instead of getting better,you’ll not be able to control yourself from speaking out.If the boss itself had turn up face-to-face and talk to them,they wouldn’t had to sound out in the blog here and now,letting everyone know..why at the first place,the boss wanted to hide himself until things went unstoppable?who should be responsible for making things worst?Do you think members wanted to spread out the news and let their money wasted if problem turn to the worst and YZ gotta wind up?Do you think the staff really wanted to make noise here until everyone know and put YZ to an end so that they’ll lose their job and income?If things were solve internally,they wouldn’t have to sound out here and let the whole world see…

You have stopped the battle.. good move, Jess .. but i found another forum cont this discussion..

Hi Jess & Fei, I’m also one of the YZ member. Sad to see people abuse the blog at [Namaste Frugal Club], especially all the 4-letter words from that fairlady and uglykid. They should respect the owner of the blog… Will be going to one of the outlet this evening and will update you gals the environment there tomorrow. Hope things become better, otherwise 3 of us would be the victims as well.

hi Fei,may i know the new forum?pls…

if fairlady n uglykid didnt start the wars at here i tink we can hear others voice again…and yoga jess can u pls open the comm box again but just ban both of them?thank u

YogaJess says: I will do that when I see the need. At the meantime, let them cool down first.

When i read 99 comments in [Namaste Frugal Club], i feel very malu to be a yz member.

It’s very ridiculous and shameful to see so many yogis (teachers somemore) scolded and slandered each other!

Sorry, yoga star, i chg my mind, don’t want to see this ugly stuffs continue.. Even u all go to that forum, i don’t think tj will follows, i think he is feeling damn regret now to reply the comments here..

We have known enough all the ugly stuffs, God bless our yz members.
Namaste.

Do read on the “Something fishy” link there….yesterday there is a memo/ email out to teachers from the founder management office……Is no goood…..

just to let u know, someone anonymous sent out an email to all teachers linking to your site. that explains the sudden surge.

Dear Jess;

The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear - Herbert Agar

Think about it. The choice is yours whether you want to reopen the comment box.

I really hope yoga jess u can open the comment box again…
and u just bane fairlady and uglykid or delete their comments…
everybody will happy with this and appreciate it!
Thank u.

The owner of this blog worry as someone might threaten her with Ah Beng thingy, after all that company is run in Ah beng Ah Long styles….

I Totally agree with you Uglykid. You are right there teachers whom are actually back stabbing the rest or should i say they are worst than a snake. or should i say 2 headed to be exact esp. teacher Z, S, G and P! Pls wake up and stop all yr back stabbin /bad mouthed other teachers. you get nothing in return not even the salary you Deserve!!!

Same name and interest. That make me accidently bump into your blog.
All the sudden everything abt YZ are ‘whooshh’ out.Like a unstoppable leaking pipe. Good u stop it.

As student, we do hope it continue. Coz we just want to learn. At first, we just attend class, then later on, we slowly built up some connection to those teachers. Started to stick to those who we prefer. Now some left, it do affect us a lot.

Hmmmm, seem like the management really poor, do hope a new management… new changes… anyone take over???? He he….

I think might as well let that Z, S, G and P + T.J, total of 5 ppl conducting the classes and do everything including washing the toilet….

first of all, am very sorry for being very brutal on the previous blog earlier. In fact am not the 1st one for being brutal. it;s the other person. Anyway, that’s a brilliant idea from you Observer. i heard that the staff at tmn Desa is goin on strike already tomorrow! As for the few mentioned teachers whom still on TJ’s side, dun be so naive thinking tat you’ll still be paid! Wat YZ left is just an empty shell. For those who follow and read this blog or the previous one should have a clear picture of who TJ is by now! He is a person whom only give empty promises. Something for you guys to read about! Do you remember YZ’s previous spokeperson, Angel Wong? Do you know that she did not get her full payment from TJ til Today? To me TJ is a total liar and not a gentleman. Always cheat when it comes to money!!!

thanks Uglykid. We didn’t know bout this! this TJ is a not a real man and very irresponsible!

‘Coward’, ‘irresponsible’, ‘$ cheated’.. I’ve been hearing this over and over again in the previous blog.

Hi, mousse, Observer, uglykid, yoga man or whatever ‘yoga A to Z’ , Can’t you guy all get enough for all this cursing? It’s ENOUNGH! STOP IT!
(I noticed that no one here put in their real names, not even the inital, how can u possibly seeking for truth, blaming ppl irresponsible? and I noticed TJ name)

The blog owner already blocked the previous blog to get rid of u all. But it started to come back again.. like the nasty virus..

This is not the appropriate place, pls look at this blog title, ‘Peace On Earth’.

My teachers, It’s talk about peace here, it’s “OM, SHANTI..” still remember the chanting you all used to teach us.

You all can setup your own blog, and invite all, if so eager to continue the cursing, but i can tell you the situation only can become worse. Nobody can win.

Fei:
Most people in the blog know who I am intuitively. Why I have not used my real name is because I know a lot more things than most people in here. The moment I reveal who I am, I will have to let the world know what truly happened in Yoga Zone, there will be no turning back anymore for TJ.
If you noticed my first comment directed at TJ was “Let it go TJ”. It was a plea to him to stop giving the teachers and the employees false hopes and empty promises. Many have suffered enough under his lies and bullying tactics.
I never expected him to return my comments with more lies and flowery words trying to make himself look good while all the people whose lives he raped and abuse are suffering even while you are reading this.
My following comments directed at him after my first were principles-oriented. The examples I have used are merely scenarios and not actual incidents. Trust me when I tell you that there are many incidents and things that I know of.
I want peace as much as anyone else in this world but if peace can only come at the price of a war, then it is a war worth fighting for.

Good…..all branches shall go on peaceful strike in conjunction with his Green Yoga Strike….

fairlady=uglykid=same person

Dear all,
I am personally one of the Yoga Zone / Club teachers and have not been paid in full for my May 2008 salary. And I believe I am not alone. Many of my fellow and respectable teachers (and staffs too) have only received 1/3 of our May salary, not to mention our salary from previous months was only received at the very last week of the following month (April salary was received in two portions by the end of May and early June).
We teach yoga out of passion and some of us were lucky enough that Yoga Zone was the only centre that used to pay us good money due to the variety of classes and that we are paid per hour basis.
But since February, our salary has been delayed and this has directly affected our financial budget and credibility. We have yet to receive full amount for our May work, coming to the third week of July now it is not politically incorrect to say that we are not paid, instead of we are being paid late.
Some of us have families, kids and those who simply chose to not be married, have responsibilities to be taken care of and commitments to be paid.
I myself, just committed myself to have bought a new car early in the year to reward myself for those years of pain, sweat and tears of teaching. With heavy heart, I only have prayers left now, wishing that somehow the supposedly-should-be-enjoyed car will not be towed by the bank anytime soon because I have delayed the monthly installment coming to its second month now.
Some of us have been owing our landlords for our house rents and sadly, this has to happen to ‘yoga teachers’ whom should be looked up to and trusted upon.
I tried to apply for a few personal loans from banking institutions to sort out my financial burdens and as expected, they were not being approved as my EPF statements showed that no deductions from my salary since the very first month I joined.
Until this very day, I continue on teaching and do not stop praying that our salary will come through in the nearest time. I fully understand some teachers action of not showing up to class, some of them are very broke to the brink of not having cash to pay for taxi / petrol / parking / meals.
I will still teach, with all if not what little I have left, and continue on praying for things to be better for all of us, for the love of my students who come all the way to practice in my class. God bless all of you.

俗语有说“谣言止于智者。”
阅览了百余留言，感觉上绝大部分者都非“愚人”，除了一小部分的“有心人”；他们唯恐天下不乱，拼命的煽风点火，只想看一场好戏。
其实，剔除了他们，慧眼者也可看得出大家只是在为自己个人小小的福利努力争取着，我亦然！
一天内，我去了三次银行(也许不只我)；十二点、四点、八点。。。心中多么的祈望户口里的个位数能增加至四位数！结果，希望往往都会落空；此时，也不晓得大家是否真的自己在骗自己了？
TJ，在“您”的留言中说BUSY ARRANGING STAFFS’ SALARY。。。但，钱呢？
“您”说过不想再许下任何承诺，耽心会再重蹈覆辙，所以这次“您”选择来个所谓的BLACK & WHITE的MEMO，当中注明写道7月15日按时出6月的薪金，藉以安抚群众；不过，似乎不见效。
向“您”报告一下，今天已是17日了！MEMO当中注明公司若迟出薪金，一日会赔偿RM50，屈指算来，是否全公司上上下下的职员都能获得额外RM100了呢？那这额外的“奖金”，“您”又打算如何赔偿呢？“您”可以说明一下吗？
虽然，我们深深了解，白纸黑字这一套在“您”的公司中永远行不通，但也恳请“您”别再继续如此对待我们了好吗？抑或“您”仍认为傻瓜的我们还会痴痴地等待？错，大家已悲愤难平，怒发冲冠了！
最后，也希望TJ“您”别再说我们诬赖“您”了！一个也许是，但当一百个也说同样的话，做同样的事，那还算是诬赖吗？
别忘记，从地球开始有文明的时候，全世界人类所设定的[真理]与[正义]，是站在人多的一方的。
抑你还想为自己冠上“百口莫辩”或“哑子吃黄连，有苦说不清”的哀怨？
劝你省着点吧！再用你那有限的头脑好好地思考一下，该怎么应付吧？
谢谢！

To “you should think about it”,
Cindelella was YZ staff that supported TJ….even they not get their salary…

老板的不负责任，导致员工成为失信的人，失信于银行，失信于家庭。。。

Yea. I agreed with Fei here. I really hope uglykid, yoga man etc can stop the cursing and making things worst by throwing out brutal words. Or else, we’ll really hate you if the blog is block again. I hope uglykid can control ur temper and not scolding me here bcoz i’m just voicing out my thoughts(dun wanna be a victim like the poor fairlady) I really enjoy reading this blog =)

YZ的前员工之一。曾经为公司卖命努力工作，从本来很钦佩大老板的非凡成就，以及本身对瑜伽的热爱，根本从没计较就算多做了些什么，多幸苦或者是啃下多少的投诉与委屈，都一一默默承受。因为当你热爱那样东西的时候，你觉得一切都是值得的。。。
老板从来没有正视我们这些小角色就算了，空口说白话的花红骗了我们对他仅有的期望，或许说为何明知公司根本没有这个能力去给，那就请你不要说呀！你应该不知道那天当你在所有员工面前公布这话，令人多么期待与兴奋。。可是隔天，一天又一天，半年了，又一年。。你令我们彻底的失望了！
就这样，一件又一件失信的事情，我对这位老板从本来钦佩到厌恶！
厌恶你的空头支票，不只对员工，对生意伙伴，以及对外界所有人。每天接到追钱的债主的电话与邮件，心虚的为公司说着好话，拖一天是一天！天晓得再动听的话，人家也会厌倦，耐性也给磨光了！抚心自问我真的招架不住了，一个连自己根本无法信任的堂堂大公司，背叛灵魂的说话再高招也是空洞的。。。我觉得羞耻如果再为这种人卖命，根本不值得，所以最后选择了离开。到今天，我的6个月EPF他还没有还，失望透了。。。
没有人希望公司倒闭，希望他真的能反省，赶快解决问题，不要再伤害其他无辜的人了。

you are wrong Marie, Uglykid and Fairlady is not the same person

I had been a YZ lifetime member for almost 2 years before transferring the membership away a few months ago. Why? Because I felt that something was dangerously amiss with the way YZ management was conducting itself, above all, the way it was treating its teachers.

Having seen the slew of hot-tempered comments in this blog, we should be glad the truth is finally out. YZ has established itself as the leading and most popular yoga center, capable of drawing the best local and foreign teachers. We’ve had a brilliant pair from Mexico. We’ve had fanatical Iyengar teachers from Canada and Italy. We’ve had local instructors who studied and graduated from India.

YZ has thousands of paying members, thus the organization is capable of paying top dollars to retain these remarkable teachers.

So what went wrong? In any organization, a person with vision may not necessarily possess the aptitude to manage people or run the organization effectively.

From my observation, the entire YZ management consisted of monkeys who didn’t know what to do with that vision. Just look at the list of crap, from inconsistent branding strategies to crappy HR policies to spending millions trying to compete with gyms such as Fitness First.

Instead of continuing to lambast TJ, let’s play a more constructive role as to how YZ can revive itself from the threshold of collapse. Surely, we do not want to see YZ, a “Malaysia boleh” story, go down the drain just like that. Existing members will suffer. The yoga teachers will also adversely affected. Lose-lose situation for everyone involved.

TJ, if you’re serious about YZ and if you really have the additional funds you claim to have, you need admit you screwed up and let go. You had the vision, but botched up in its execution. If you want YZ rise again, to be back to its glory days, back off. Allow a new management team that’s competent to take over. NOW.

A friend just forwarded this blog to me (SP member), as I read through the DEBATE that what was in there, I found that the topic is hot on fire but it is discontinue by the owner due to uncontrolled situation.

As for my opinion, TJ had tried his best to clam down the situation. As I read some of his post, I found out that he is doing his best to stable the situation since its now abit out of control.

But as I read it, I found out something fishy about it. As ANYONE can simple recall a statement he made that is
“Sorry to give feedback late as I was busy arranging the salary for staff yesterday, I had refinanced the vehicles and this surely can help a bit.”
IF as what he say is the truth, then it will be a huge problem. It shows that YZ will not be staying longer than we expected. I don’t think TJ is driving a “red horse” or a “yellow/golden bull” car. His car maybe able to refinance abit bout HOW MUCH can he loan from the bank. For so many ppl that related, I don’t think his REFINANCING can help either. As for the bank, how much the bank can load to TJ? There sure got something hiding. Getting the so call green notes from the bank doesn’t mean that your GREEN Ideology will be able to succeed or at least don’t paint the colour to apple green. (I think TJ is vege)

Think thrice, a co-founder/CEO/boss or whatever, trying to explain SOMETHING in others blog, Shows that everything that in the comments are a solid evidence that what is the company facing now. Trying to act in a childish manner to express the company situation will not bring any good image to the public. This will only bring you to a dead end. That time you will not be saying “NAMESTE” but will be shouting “YAMATEH”

Anyone can do refinancing, but only the figure is unknown.

As a summary after I read all the 99 comments, I found out that TJ had a big ambition but brainless in doing business. Very confident but lack of power management skill. Thing doesn’t happen in a glimpse but TJ is the one that should be responsible. Suddenly a FRAUD came out from no where. Saying that ppl are trying to get benefits on his business. But from the first if you are in the so call loop, then result sure won’t be until today’s consequences. Where have he been, drunking ? A person that is acting to be a leader as he is not a leader or partial leader.

- Promises that been made are meant to be broken again and again.– TJ

我亲爱的YZ STAFF， 拖延了出粮真的让我对你们深感亏欠，每一次我在对你们做承诺的时候，都是想尽快把事情解决，如果我是刻意拖延的话，也不会留下MEMO让你们做把柄了。延期一天ＲＭ５０也是我心甘情愿的，为的只是希望大家能够知道我是真心的。开会时，如果我说不出确实日期，大家会说我耍太极；如果我给了确实日期，只要一拖延，员工就会罢工，像今天这样，我只是很想问一问大家，YZ原本渐渐恢复元气，可是六名老师的罢工对会员说公司散播重伤性的公司倒闭言论，六月的营业额在最后十天确实造成了严重伤害，整个月的营业额比上个月下跌了500千令吉，我相信既然你们是YZ的一分子，大家把自己所做的数据加起来就知道了，我没有狡辩的意思，我只是希望大家明白这是一个连锁反应，有心人想看YZ怎么倒，我TJ今天如果是不负责任的话，早可逃之夭夭算数，我今天在这里只是希望大家知道，我不会放弃，不只是对你们的责任，而是对会员的负责，马六甲的事情，所有证据都摆在眼前，那做贼喊贼的又为什么呢？区区一个通告就可以草草了事吗？他们对会员的责任感呢？为什么所有现金的销售都没有放在联名户口里面？
YZSTAFF，你们并没有诬赖我，是我没有把事情做好，也真的谢谢你们一直的包涵和容忍，我这里跟你们陪不是。当然我不会只是赔不是就算了，一定会把事情做好给你们。只希望大家可以把力量放在建设的工作上面，把谣言暂时放在一边。 为的不是员工的福利而已，最重要的是会员的福利，我并没有要你们体谅我，只是希望大家能够和会员们将心比心，在签了配套，拿了顾客的佣金的时候，就应该负起捍卫会员权益的责任，，每每看到你们写的心情，我真的有十万个对不起，我还是一句话，我会把事情做好，时间的预算出入真的不是刻意的，YZ不但会生存下去，还要更上一层楼，想要YOGA ZONE活不下去的人一定不会得逞，现在说多也是徒然，九月三十日之前一切会改变，因为绿色带来的希望。
P/S：相信你们也有妈妈，我也一样，她年纪也大了，你们可以讨厌我，可是只希望大家放她老人家一条生路，不要再批评她，因为我爱我妈。

Hooi:
I agree. I shall reserve my comments for now.

angels vs demon!!! angels do not tell when he/she is doing good. Mr. TJ, do you still have time to read and reply to this blog if you are painstakingly reviving the company. There are more important things for you to attend to…..please do you part! I am sorry if this sounds harsh but for your own sake. Don’t explain anymore! Action speaks louder than words. Your explanation n comments had stirred up more negativity rather than giving anyone peace of mind. Concentrate at what you need to do now. If you are innocent as what you claimed then prove it with your actions and results. Enough already. Please DON’T misuse AHIMSA.

To everyone here, if to end sufferings is to move on then isn’t this place suppose to be a sanctuary to exchange ideas and thoughts.

Thats enough TJ!aleady 17th,where is my pay? I know tat every one suffer in money matter but u have to understand the staff in yogazone (not include the teacher cause their pay is higer than us) 1st - 10th * passion * 10th - 13th starting eat maggie * 13th- 15th *start to borrow money from other to pay rental, transport* ….. @@#$$% this is the first time in my life working with a company have to borrow money from friend early in the month JUST FOR CONTINUE living. When my friend ask me ” why u asking me for money early in the month? where is your salary? or you are not working now? ” RM1k for u TJ maybe small but for me is my basic cost of living. I check the ATM machice since 9.00 a.m till noon ( I feel like a beggar waiting money to buy food ) I really feel angry & sad….. because u have money to change the uniform to green but why not give us the salary first??!!!………………. \o0o/

TJ，
看到你的留言，我原本已经处于绝望的心情，又开始恢复了点希望。
马六甲会员其实要的只是有个上课的落脚处，至于你们之间有搞不清的恩怨与帐目，我们真的都不想知道。
你说：“在签了配套，拿了顾客的佣金的时候，就应该负起捍卫会员权益的责任。”
对，这就是你该付起的责任！我们都是无辜的，我们不是你们任何一方的棋子。我们只想学瑜伽，只想上课。你们的官司不知会拖得多久，那会员们怎么办？就如你所说的，站在会员的权益角度，捍卫会员，YZ是应该在最短的时间内给所有的会员一个交待。是退还会员佣金，或是暂时找个场所让我们上课也好，你都必须要快些做出决定。
没有一个人希望YZ倒闭。当初会员们之所以会一次过缴付一年的学费，就是因为信任YZ，也深深知道在这里我们可以学到真正的瑜伽，因为这里有出色的瑜伽师。我们都很满意这里的环境和老师，这里的老师是专业的。发生这种事情，我们的心情是多么复杂。顿时，我们失去了精神寄托的地方，也失去了和我们亲如家人的瑜伽老师。
TJ，你是时候亲自出来见见我们这群无辜的会员了。我们真的想看看的你实际行动，我们不想空等待，我们真的很想能马上上课，是马上上课！

i miss my tcher very very very much…..

Hi every1 at here,Im Ms Janice. here.(cheras mermber)when i sign up for the 1 year membership,they double charge the fees(rm2976) from my credit card and they oso promis will return back rm1488 to me since last year Nov 2007.but til nw they still havent pay me back the money…WHY??at begin,i always 5 the consultant to help me follow up but after a month ago she just ask me go to follow by myself!nvr mind,i try to call to their hq office so many times n they say will give back me soon…til nw,July 2008 oredi!i stil always call to the hq office but nobody answer the phone…WHY?isit this company stil got working?inside ther stil got employee?i vy doubtful here!n i really wonder i cant take back my money,wat should i do to this company?any1 can teach me?TQ!!!

Hi or Namaste to all. Who is TJ is he a bird,an aeroplane or superman. Nope all this doesn’t concern us. All we want to know is are you goin to open up the MLK yoga centre again. Is it so difficult to answer. Well you started the club in a flowing manner please end it with a flying colour and not water fall. Please whoever you are we in MLK need a answer just like a child who needed their parents blessing.

We are from Yfitness,KK and we are here to inform everyone that we had already filed up our cases to labour law and submited all the relevant documents.We are waiting for labour law to take action now.

As a staff in Yfitness,KK,we really felt disappointed as we are always blur with what’s happening in our company.Our branch is far away from KL and no one really cares about us.We experienced the same thing,epf being deducted but not submited to KWSP for a year,owing us incentives,commissions and salary,we got no idea of what happening and no ones had ever held a meeting or what so ever to inform us and explain to us.When we bring up the matters and ask the so-called management staff to clarify,we will be asked to shut-up our mouth and they will tell us that they will settle the problems.After more than 6 months working with them,we don’t even get a comfirmation letters.So,do we consider ourselves as a staff in YF?

I’ve never seen such a big group of yoga lover gather together and having the discussion so fanatically.

But the saddest and ironic thing is we are talking about all the negative things, and it should not happen at all in the yoga world.

I totally agree with PplWifVoice,
“To everyone here, if to end sufferings is to move on then isn’t this place suppose to be a sanctuary to exchange ideas and thoughts.”

Let’s convert the negative chi to positive chi, if we all sharing the yoga thoughts here, that would be great beneficial effect to everyone of us, we can create the better world.

Yoga not solely for body, it’s for mind, body & soul too. Do you agree? teachers..

Hi Fei, I went to the Cheras outlet yesterday’s evening and also this early morning classes. Seems the environment there slightly better but only few staffs and one or two cleaners working. I was at first turning to positive hope. But after reading the comments above and think twice with current situation, I’m not holding any high hope now which in return with disappointment again.

As commended by seth_ron@panas, it is a huge problem that TJ has to refinance his last property of car and house to settle huge amount of debts. TJ said that “I had refinanced the vehicles and this surely can help a bit”. This means the fees collected from all the existing members already gone to nowhere… He really need to generate more revenue with new sales to continue the business (doubt the sales figure will be increased at this moment ever since the Malacca franchise issue been published in the media), otherwise what else to further refiance, yoga mats, gym balls?. Moreover, how much can he refinance his car and house while the debts is not a small amount (few month salaries of a huge group of teachers and staffs and other creditors). Don’t think a pail of water is enough to fill up a big empty swimming pool…

Sorry to be so negative here but this is the fact and we have to accept it!

IF i were u(TJ) i won’t text here anymore,just take action.Just pay or meet them in person if u cant pay at the moment ,visit all outlets and show ur sincerity .Dun sit at home, work at home( are u trying to hide from MR long?)That no connection at all with ur teams(no wonder poor management). All the posts from u,its just shown the REAL u (good or bad u all judge)oh dear!!NO one hoping for the Rm 50 interest( they r not ah long)No one here seem happy to see YZ collaps.Be responsible to ur teams fisrt.U and ur teams, u teams u teams. see now i become like ur mother.Everyone respect mother i guess not only u.

ps:everyone have a real self,TJ: u have shown the REAL U to the world.(my comment is selfish,revengeful)

Gosh….another set of date -> Sept ‘08…

People here are all adults and not little kiddies…..If you get the green notes as you claimed few days ago….obtaining green notes process shall be very fast. Why must wait till end of Sept ‘08?

Let me help you out by this…

All dummies out there will give you till end of the centuries to settle the problems. Better isnt it?

Shame on you!

dear founder

六名老师 was terminated by you for no reason, please do not blame anyone but yourself, btw, you have also suspended your key staff for 2 weeks for no reasons too.

马六甲的事情，所有证据都摆在眼前 - May i know what kind of evidence ? the evident is you don’t even visit them, they trusted you so much and paid you licencing fees and you said dont have ? the money they paid out is hard earned money, you think people is nuts or moron ? tell us when was the last time you met them ?

Refinancing your vehicles and house to save the company ? how much you can save ? if that can be done easily, you dont even need to get bank loan, i just wondered whether you know how deep was the hole need to cover ?

Green yoga ? what are you trying to tell the members ? there is no meaning to those members, member has been asking front desk staff, they don’t even can answer ? it is wasting money, member is concerning whether they can continue to practice thats all.

From the beginning till now, there was no proper planning on the business expansion and operation, more clubs were opened just because you think you want to conquer the market, no one will do the business like you, the business and operation are really really sucks.

No point asking him to visit outlets or meet face to face with teachers or members….the most he can do is sing song, have drinks with whoever that are there and cries…thats all…nothing else he can do….Thats his signature trademark. T.J, I give you Oscar award for Best Actor of the century. Happy?

Sorry to say this, but i don’t agree with you Fei.My Dad was sort of a teacher and he was my idol. He had passion for teaching tat rubbed off on me. But nothing like this……….Yoga has never taught me to suffer and drag the people whom i love with me! my family don’t deserve this just because of someone’s greed and foolishness. Always remember TJ tat every cent you swallow is the teacher’s hard earn money and you are held accountable!
You only claim credit and earn people’s respect through effective delivery and accountability. But i don’t see that in you and i doubt i ever will. Am a firm believer in sharing my experiences and knowledge but since when til my loved ones have to starve with me? Tat’s my question? Enough of yoga minds, ok? Our families don’t deserve this! You can label me as selfish or acting like a kid but if we can’t take care of ourselves how can we take care of others….the students? Front liners, cleaners and etc staff from varoius dept. whom went on strike today, personally i dun blame them. You dun expect us to start borrowing $$ from friends or loan sharks! Not all of us here are born with a silver spoon & not all of us are making big bucks! Put yourself in our shoes and think! don’t our children need to eat and go to school? TJ expect us to hold for another 3 months and it’ll come up to a total of 6 months suffering. if the bank buys this story and leave me alone and exempted me from bills for 6 months then FINE. Sad to say this only happens in Wonderland!
Last word for you and food for thought, do you have the heart to let your family worry and suffer wif you and cont’ teachin because of some phrase that’s always been brought up HERE on this blog…… YOGA MIND, SOUL &KARMA YOGA & etc etc! When things have come to this stage whatever your beliefs or practices are…….this isn’t appropriate anymore. People with the right state of mind would not continue this suffering. Just a piece of my mind. For those who just log in and not affected by wat’s happening here, you would have a clear picture of what’s happening in YZ and know the difference between right or wrong! Dun blame the teachers for leaving, they have no choice but not irresponsible.

Sorry Marie if i put you in a shock for knowing it’s you who wrote tat comment earlier. But stop yr brain storming & put yr mind to rest as we are not the same person. Comes to think of it, with your good professional management consultant skills you might be able to help TJ with a turnaround plan for YZ. But for free of charge La, of course

Dear Ms. Janice Teo,

I am sorry to hear what have happened to you. In this current SITUATION, go to HQ to request for a refund. Consult your lawyer fren first before you go! Meet the person in charge to discuss and come to a mutual agreement. Your lawyer fren could even draw up a legal binding contract. If you wanna take this legally.

Any good ideas, anyone????

I certainly sympathize with the plight of the teachers for what they have gone through. One of you is very best friend of mine, we went to yoga conference together, It was the best moment i can never forget in my life.
I like attended some of the teachers classes every week and i really miss them.

I know that my express of concerns about the future fate of yogazone and members, have given no respect and overlook the feeling of the teachers, I would like to make apologize here to all the teachers and staffs.

I should not give any comments further. I stop here.

i also very very very x1000000…..misssss my yoga teacher…
pls send them back to melaka…..pls….we need yoga,we need them…

To YF Staff @ KK,

The ppl in other branches share your pain. The question is…..do you have a contingency plan? Where do you go from here? Are you still waiting for a reply from the management?

Decide then act! Be pro-active! Don’t procrastinate! Remember this…the ball is on your court too.

dear yogajess,

i see there’s lots of angry yogis here.
i hope you could ask them to be a little more polite here & calm down, as we need to respect each other, not just here la. tsk tsk tsk, no naughty naughty ya. mana rotan? jz kidding

If all the matters of what’s happening in the company were true, does anyone have the proof?
1. proof of the financial status of the company?
2. the money laundering by vennie lok or whoever is involve?
3. the money laundering by Ms Mun (ex financial controller)- which i heard but have no idea/clue if it’s true or jz a rumour? correct me if i’m wrong.
4. the legend of pasta’s case?
5. the lim lay gaik against tj’s case?
6. proof of anyone is involve in bringing the company down? etc…

I do not know who to trust, but i trust what i can see, which is proof, which i think most of us would like to have or see.

something that i’ve learn during this ‘tough’ season: I started working occasional part time job about 2 months ago, which i think is good. 1st, help me to pay my bills, feed my pets, & feed myself also, despite having to wait for my salary from this company. I don’t rush the company though i sometimes have the urge to do so. why don’t i? am i dumb? yeah, mayb, who isn’t, for once in their life? i thought to myself, my boss been good to me ‘once upon a time’( in malaysia not china ok hahaha, not the movie, so, no wong fei hung here). Therefore, i ‘give&take’ la.
2nd, i know who’s there for me when i needed their help the most- 1st group: some of my colleagues, NOT all, but jz a small fraction of them who is true. 2nd group: my beloved & supportive customers aka yz/yc members. Thank you, if you are reading this( i know some of you are) & knows me. i would like you to know that the SMILE or GRIN on your face, sometimes the ‘frown’ on your face(hope i don’t get more of that now hehe sorry!), your presence at the outlet, and the comm $, is what motivates me & keeps me here.

I believe we learn a lot here. Try to take a step back, recall everything(if you & i could) from the beginning until now. The day we were here in yz, what have we learn.

When i read all the comments here, i believe some of us do not wish anything bad to happen to our ‘place’. Why? As for me, it’s because this ‘yz place’ is where some of us met & became friends.

A note for my boss, TJ (if you are reading this, coz you didnt reply to my sms *thinking, mayb you have forgotten about this little soldier who help the company generate ><2mil despite what happened*) : Thank you for all the ups & downs that i’ve been through here. It has been a good learning place for me, in terms of personal & professional aspect. I pray that you can rebuild yz, restore the place & go through this ‘tough season’. Just be careful who you choose to trust. Never those who only knows to ‘gilap your shoes’ & steal someone’s ideas.

Please accept my apology if i may have hurt anyone’s feelings here, by leaving a comment. I too, stop here.

Dear Janice Teo,

Regarding2ur concern,actually u cant blame YZ 100% that YZ overcharge u. Why u didnt double check the amount on the creditcard slip b4 u drop ur signature?
LOLZ… pls double check next time b4 u drop ur signature when u purchase at any shops out there… this time RM1488,next time mayb RM14888. Take k.

What a good comment from TJ,no no is Mr Tj.Wheres staff salary?Just want the salary.No money die.Just simple reason.

Dear all,
Just read through all the messages (17th & 18th July 2008)…haha hopefully jess won’t feel/ or think WHAT AGAIN!! is that another battle? mmmm NO. So no worry jess.

Somehow, so called good thing is you have your way to expressing your innerself and so called bad thing is some abuse it, well this is the history of human being rite?

Think about it for this recent days in YZ or YC, office and plp surrounded (members or staffs or teachers) some shown the anger & disappointment, some wishes YZ continue & some planning go for legal action & some just enjoying the show.

Let’s share with you all, we all(including me now as well) CREATING KARMA (specially for those really into yoga) What I trying to share here just simply as what “Plpwifvoice” mentioned take action if you wish & REMEMBER “BE POSITIVE”, or else just stay & continue to do your best as you can.

Instead of sleep late & keep on showing your anger, worry, disappointment, depression…for the members please follow your heart & don’t just listen around only, of course if anything happen which is OUT OF WHAT YOU THOUGHT or EXPECTATION than don’t blame plp surround you, COZ YOU MAKE THE DECISION. For the office staffs if you stay do your BEST, or else find another job, for teachers stay or leave without complaining too much, keep yourself under good condition and be professional as a teacher or an instructor.

Why?! well just simply because we are not into the judgment ( and we have no right as well), if the situation just feel no right for you, than take whatever actions is possible and don’t just TALK or bad mouth it.

Nothing is FAIR & SQUARE in this world… unless we work it out… with proper mind set and not like these. LOOK INTO IT & DON’T BLAME. (no method where you are, situation like these still happen) well again choice is yours, BE SMART.

FOR TJ (acorrding to the situation)… you know what you’re doing, is not about reply messages and don’t keep on answering if you yourself have no ideas what it gonna to be! REALLY, TJ FACE THE FACT and work it out. I can’t read your mind same to the rest, they just do what they think and follow their emotion, and I hope TJ MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GONNA TO DO for the rest in the right time…

The rest please work out whatever is possible or for your own good. Don’t wasting time with the messages anymore, remember if you really a yogi or yoga practitioner, don’t let the situation spoil your personality or create karma just simply because of a person, not worth it… means follow your heart and be positive, ACTION SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

Let’s us learn from the current situation and try your best to find the BALANCE WITHIN. (hope your guys get what i mean about it)

REMEMBER:
1). Be positive, and take action without blaming anyone, coz it’s your decision.

2). Never ever spoil your personality not method what, most importantly DON’T CREATING KARMA (if possible…).

3). Everyone have right to voice out, but remember if with negative mind set than ask yourself did you always act / do right and no mistake at all… But, if you act positively than move-on find your right solution for both and BE SMART.

4). DON”T sleep late any more, Olympic game in China will gonna start soon and hopefully all of us won’t become a PANDA…HAHA lol

5). Just enjoy your day no method what, if it gonna happen and it gonna settled down soon, NO any expectation from both (including ourself) find a way to soothing your mind and KEEP ON MOVING FORWARD.

JESS, good to share with you too, and remember NOTHINGS is RIGHT or WRONG, and don’t feel bad or blame yourself. Keep on your self practice and sooner will able knowing yourself more.

Dear all, thanks for your time and always think what you have to do and not pointing here and there only.

ps. I’m not from any side, just myself so not need to know who am I, or I know who you are kind of haha wasting time.

WOHH, tired! haha gonna preparing my way to practice yoga how about you all…

Cheer.

Good News.
Incentive surely as least RM250 bcoz figure didnt show any increment inside bank account and sat and sun no bank.
Think positive.
Mayb thats a way v earn more?
Lolz.

To TJ: I got nothing to say, I dont care work full shift, I dont care no more offday, I dont care to clean up toilet and studio, i dont care to complain by members everyday, just wish that our efforts, our supports will not wasted! I wont care about ur business outside which is not related to YZ, I believe that company will getting well later, but always do remember the staffss who really work hard for u, do remember to heals their broken hearts, do remember to pay back what suppose to pay,what we want is not New Uniform, YZ FM or memo, just want u to stand up and face all the problems and solve it. I know its hard, but U Have to.To show ure a responsible boss and a man.. Cheer Up TJ, Green is refresh, I wish YZ will be the best Yoga Centre AGAIN. Never end, May God Bless Ur company, ur staffs, ur teachers, ur members, ur family and U as well. Amen. ..

Yes Yes …. Can u explain Mr TJ? 20mill? WAHHHHHH………….!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! alot.

To TJ: Agree with Heaven’sDoor, we are also don’t care about what people say. We don’t mind when we got scolded from customers. We work extra hours, in fact our outlets is the one that make the least problem for YogaZone as well still putting number for sales.

We Just Want You To Know That WE Still Supporting You

TJ…pls do believe in GOD…bad guy will always “不得好死“ ！！！ Dun always pretended that u r so innocent…as a man (opps!!! u might not) u should stand out n take the responsible whatever u did to ur staffs, ur partners n those suppliers…dun act like a “过街老鼠“…or u enjoy the lives such as that. People…pls let ur eyes open to see carefully…what TJ as like…a cheater, bastard n hopeless guy. Pls go out n ask around in this field…who actually dunno his “smelly name”…those supplies will split when they hear his name, staffs n partners will curse him when they hear his name.

I’m also a YZ Life time member.
To YZ member, if you are so much concern about your paid membership, please stop continuing rumours on the news. With your little sincere help I belive we may overcome all this challenges that what I can say.
To all staff, i believe everyone had enjoyed a very happy & comfort moment together. You all understand your boss & business going. of course, there is a great time & bad time in our life.. that why life is so much interesting and unpredictable, either you support all the way or look for new opportunities. STOP THE WAR!

Hey…YZ members,

If u dun mind that ur money will be cheated then pls keep continue to pump in money to that idiot account…then u will cry till tearless. Good luck to all of u.

To Heaven’sDoor and Miracle, I fully support you! I’m also hoping and waiting miracles to happen. I hope things will get better and our hardwork will bring results. Please don’t let us down again TJ! We Still Supporting You!!

To all yoga lovers,

It is so amazing and fanatic, seeing all yogis doing your discussion here together. After reading so much of comments, i do have lots of feeling. Everyone gathered here, are all fully understand wats yogo mind. I can’t comment on any site of you too. but i understand better how u all feel.
To members: we all worried and concerned on our membership especially those lifetime members. Yoga Zone actually brings us a lot opportunities to learn and relax. We all relax & releif our extra unhappy energy while attending the class. We all get a balance back after the class. thats why we all loving YZGroup very much.

Life is always unpredictable, anything can happen. We all dont expect this challenging moment. I believe to TJ too. Maybe he was careless, didn;t overlook well before. But it is never too late to learn and stand up. I can see alot more action plan is taken, refurbishment, green T-shirts, New yoga teachers, etc.. This is just a starting point.

Please let us be more patient and believe in it. TJ i knew u r trying hard, but he cant be the warrior alone. He needs all of us, staff & members together. If you lost ur confident on him, u may take watever action u want. All you need to do is just follow your heart, it will not goes wrong. Negative comment is useless at this point of time. It is only making the situation more complex and difficult. Being a little bit positive blessing, u may help to ease the problem.

Hye everybody, just stand for each other. There is always a sunny after the rain. God will bless you, TJ

Go2Hell, I understand how you feel, I felt the same way like you. However I found that continuing negative talking it doen’t help at all. Agree don’t you?

A company cannot run without a work force. It is important the relationship between employer and employees are well maintained. So… I do hope that there are strong workteam behind YZ, especially the company facing downstream problem.

So, it is up to the management how to deal with it now.

For member are simple. We just want classes and good teachers.

Don disappoint us.

We still hope to see
-those smiling face greeting us while we walk to the counter saying ‘namaste’
-The teachers that willing to give their heart to share.
-the happy students that laughing together with joy with the staffs and teachers

YZ, this is the place that bring great people to meet up together.

if not u, I would not have meet my close friends now.

GANBATEH!

To all YZ’s family,
I agree with jesslw. Being a member we just want a good class & a good teacher & warmly greet to us.
Victory always go with a wise man;
Anger will only bring you to a battle.

NOW only someone agree with me. This is what I’ve been saying all this while and in my “No Money No Class” post. Tah Ma De, now where got those smiling faces front desk staff. Their face is so sour like we owe them money.

TJ,
Dun give up… Jia You… if u down all YZ staffs will down2>.<”

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii love yoga.

大家好！我是YZ的终身会员。YZ就如我的第二个家，每天下班我就会到YZ瑜珈馆去报到。瑜珈也就如我的生命一样，几天没练瑜珈身体总是觉的不舒服不自在。看到YZ面对那么大的问题我也会有点担心，担心再也不能每天一下班就想着去瑜珈馆，上完课后又再想明天要上什么课或后天大后天直到整个星期的安排。希望YZ可以度过这个难关，让有心练习瑜珈的人如心所愿。YZ加油！！！
NAMASTE！

Yes, i know you guys hope that YZ will rise back. However, if you really want the teachers to give their hearts to share with the students, then teachers really do need their salaries first to survive. Did you know that until now most of the teachers still haven recieve their May salary yet. Not even a cent. Moreover, there are teachers who are only able to survive by eating bread and maggie mee only. You guys do know that yoga teachers need food to gain energy to teach their students rite? Besides that, there are also teachers who dont even have the money to add petrol into their cars and to pay their rent. So, do you think in this kind of situation the teachers will teach their students peacefully? There is a chinese idiom saying “yao ma er hao, yu yao ma er pu qi chao”. If i translate it to english, it means that TJ wants good horses, but doesnt want the good horse to eat grass. Lets take the good horses as the teachers. So, no money, how to survive?

Agree with Jesslw. We members just want to practise with good teachers. The teachers and staffs in YZ are the real ASSETS of the group, not the buildings, not the Green mats, etc. TJ, please cherish and take good care of these dedicated teachers and staffs. They are the best, number 1 in Klang valley. I followed u and Ken from another studio to YZ a few years ago bcos u guys were good teachers (Ken, u r still my good teacher), I certainly do not wish to move out of YZ to follow the teachers bcos they leave YZ. If u could not retain these excellent teachers here, you will lose not only the existing members, but also potential members too. They are the ones “pumping” money into the group, aren’t they?
Take care of your “ASSETS” in YZ. If they are not there, we will not be in YZ too.

This is no good, I can’t open http://www.yogazone.com.my!

It only shows message:
“This account has been suspended.
Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources.”

Yup. Take care of your ‘ASSET’.Appreciate them. They are the wheels that make vehicle move. Got engine also no use. Show your sincere heart if you really want your biz to continue.

What is your objectives to run this biz from the beginning?

We r thankful that YZ actually bring up the heat of yoga in M’sia. U r once the leading centre in the industry. Where is your passion?

Proof to us u still a legend.

TJ,

船到桥头自然直！不要放弃现在的一切！！你眼前拥有的东西不是一两天就可以拿回的成就，您心里肯定还有最后一条可让YZ站回起来的idea的，用出来吧。别让YZ倒.

oh.. the YZ website really cannot go in le.. can’t check the timetable online.. sad

disney world ,
u make me jealous…melaka YC closed down make all the members like 无家可归.

without yoga,i gain weight already…!what to do???what to do….?????

不是已到了尽头吧！！！！YZ网站真的开不了了，象是前所未有发生过的咧。

LyDm,
Do not stop yourself from practising yoga. U still can practise at home. just practice poses that u’ve learn.

im a member of yc klg. i love yoga & that’s y i practice daily at d club. most of d instructors r gd. hope yc klg will not be the next to close. sigh ….

Green Green@YF,
So free ah? I looking for 5 figure…
I want to see the figure up up up!!!

Being a YZ member, and as like other fellow members, we just simply hope that we have paid what is worth paying. We just want to attend class and learn yoga from good teachers. To be straight, YZ internal issues have nothing to do with me and I chose to remain silent on this until now. Yes now! I really have to voice out on this as the staffs really deserve sympathy! As usual, I went to attend my class and by chance i talked to this front desk staff. I was shocked when I found out that he actually had not had his breakfast and lunch. Out of sympathy, I treated him a meal. After having read the comments here, I finally got a clue on what’s really happening internally. Well, hey, come on, we all know that employee is one of the valuable asset of the company, how can the boss treats them that way? Come on, YZ boss, if you want them to continue generate cash for you, you need to bring back the morale in them by paying them what they deserve!!! Well, this is simply unacceptable as I am a salary eater as well. I can feel the pain and despair in them. Maybe you should learn from my boss. I got my pay-chegue on time or even earlier sometimes each month. Hope you can refine your way in doing business…

Staff are working for free now.Are u crazy,still wanna scold people here.You should thank them instead of scolding them.

Hey… guys,
I guess she is only wanna encourage em only..
If everyone still laying back, problem will not be solved, and is definitely gettin worse. agree?

So GreenGreen@YF , work harder..
we can overcome all these…
let’s be together…
walk thru this challenging moment…

To all Devils & Demons,
I know you all will come out at this night.ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!
Justice knight is ridding over now.

I love my yoga practice, just like everyone else.

I love the feeling of being there. Sometimes, from afar, the yz staff will wave & smile at me. The moment I reach the door, they open the door for me. Follow by a warm, sincere welcome greeting ” HELLO! WELCOME!, or GOOD EVENING! HOW ARE YOU TODAY?, or “NAMASTE! WHICH CLASS WOULD YOU LIKE TO ATTEND TODAY? LONG TIME NO SEE. BUSY AT WORK? etc. Most of the time, bring me the towels also. And if I’m in a rush, or when I totally forgotten about the towels, the staff even bring the towels to the locker room for me, with a big happy smile on her face saying ‘Hi Ms XX, you forgot the towels. Later, sweating want to wipe with what?’.
If I’m early, while reading or waiting in the outlet, the friendly staffs will come over & ask ‘would you like to have a cup of tea while waiting? or can I get you a cup of tea or warm water?’.
Feeling rejuv after class, there they are again, asking if I or the other members need anything to make them feels more comfortable! When I leave, they send me off with a smile even when I make a complaint about certain instructors or class schedule. Sometimes when they are not lack of staff, they even open the door for me AGAIN. ‘Coming again tomorrow?’ or Good night!’, and even ‘Sweet dreams tonight’.

With all these excellent services, I look forward to going there everyday.
I feel good in this sanctuary. And I don’t feel this good even in my own home!

It’s sad to hear all the rumours.
The member who is spreading the rumours, do you know how annoying are you! Not only you disturb me, you create such a negative environment for others. I can even hear your voice at the front counter from one corner in the toilet. My colleagues finds you horrible. You don’t know what’s ethical? Send email to them?! Aren’t you a member too??? We feel like lodging a complaint to the management but don’t think they have spare time to look into it now.

PLEASE, don’t give the staff a hard time anymore, because they are all good people with a good heart. I witness one scene, not once but a few times, where you are bugging them- Asking for any latest rumours!! Pointing fingers.

Put yourself in their shoes. Look things from their perspective. If you were them, being an employee, you have to defend the company no matter what. Whatever you do is for the best interest of the company. And there’s a thing call “private & confidential” where they are not suppose to reveal any/what so ever things to anyone under any circumstances.
I’m sure your company make you sign some kind of contract before hiring you! Breach of contract would means ‘warning letter’, suspension or even ’sotong goreng’. know what I mean woman! Can you find this kind of services & staff at the membership price you & I paid? Think about it.

Many of you here must be wondering as to why would I bother giving such comments here. Because I know that particular WOMAN, Jessica, is reading it & giving those dedicated & hardworking Weld staff a very very very hard time. They are innocent and have every right to defend their company no matter what. That’s called PROFESSIONAL.

YZ management & TJ, Please don’t discontinue this wonderful place for I’ve make great friends here which includes the yz staff & teachers & other members.

For us, members, we could help the teachers & the staff by not spreading any baseless accusation or news or rumours.

I’m affected too, just like you.

hi LyDm,dun b so sad,may b yc melaka will open soon le.let’s pray together,everything will b alright soon,cheer

Yay! There is new light to YZ…good news to us practitioner and teachers…let’s wait this out, tomorrow is a new dawn.

我们这班打工仔
通街走叠直接是坏肠胃
一点点到月底怎够用
你就真的倒霉
最衰波士动点发威
一直在处是不是就乱来吠
求他加薪块脸非常恶看
你就真的开胃
半斤八两
做到积迹这样的样
半斤八两
湿水炮仗怎会响
半斤八两
够胆就拿支枪去抢
出了半斤力想说拿回足八两
现在难找吃哪有半斤八两这样理想
吹涨
我们这班打工仔
一生一世为钱币做奴棣
那种生活可怜讲出吓鬼
不可说没什么所谓
半斤八两
就算有福都没你享
半斤八两
还残过热水滚猪肠
半斤八两
鸡碎这样多都要剁
出了半斤力想说拿回足八两
现在难找吃哪有半斤八两这样理想
吹涨
我们这班打工仔
一生一世为钱币做奴棣
那种生活可怜讲出吓鬼
不可说没什么所谓

My dear Jess, please check the above feedback, is not mine. you can check through the IP number. Someone is trying to do something here. Hope you understand I’m taking every single steps to make things better. Really sad for this. Sigh…
对于以上的翻版TJ，希望您可以手下留情，我并不是一个只要钱财的人，心安理得最重要。我们的团队是一家人，虽然偶尔会被误解，我还是会贯彻这样的精神。亲爱的YZSTAFF，我真的很内疚拖延你们的薪金，希望您们的家人不会误解，向他们说声对不起。周末快乐。
YogaJess says: Sorry about that.

hey Jess,

is it true? That’s a fraud?

YogaJess said: JUSTICE using IP address 60.54.42.183 is now banned. I’ve even deleted his previous comment. Sorry guys. This is a warning to the rest. I really have no time for all this rubbish. There are many more out there. I just close one eye as the comment did not harm anybody. But please la! Don’t do that again. Voicing out your opinion is enough. Why want to create more problem?

Fake id again! This time is serious, imitating tj. Jess, you can identify us from the email address, which only you know. Ip address could be diff for the same person, if he has diff login section.

YogaJess said: I thought at night TJ would be using a different PC cos the IP is different but he has TJ’s full e-mail address.

I guess I understand TJ’s situation, I have all these bad times with my company last couple years. Never let go any single hope, you will then turn impossibilities into MISSION POSSIBLE.
YZ is my second home as well as other practitioners.
Remember, 在哪里跌到就要在哪里爬起来。

Dear All, sorry for what happened, thank you for the opportunity for me and the team to make it happen again. Didn’t rest for 30 over hours (不是博同情哦！）,need to sleep soon, tomorrow morning bak kut teh breakfast with parents. Good night to dearest Jess and everyone. Dear teachers, the team will work together to meet the 23rd July and also the 1st August timeline. Thank you once again for still being with YZ.
Dear Harrynana, 明白您的意思，一定会紧记在心。

hi yogajess,Im oso a blogger and i have found out now ur blog is quite interesting and hot!may i know TJ is who?y so pity got somebody imitating him?do u mind i check it out the IP address is from where and announce it?may be u guys can got some idea?(^_^)

Dear All,

I think everyone is very concern about YZ, salary and ETC. But as for YZ situation, YZ is having difficulties. There is very twisted argument that TJ have given us. This twisted argument is deniable that YZ is having a financial crisis. I would like to express my concern about those twisted arguments. If you all are smart in interpreting his words, you may find those are very unnoticeable but very suspicious arguments.

1. EPF, SOCSO and other government requested payment.
- As this stated, there is not much hope of getting back this. (wait till the sun rise on the west)

2. “六月的营业额在最后十天确实造成了严重伤害，整个月的营业额比上个月下跌了500千令吉”.
- If every month also able to generate more than 500k. As the calculation shows that a year it will generate about 6 Mil. This is the figure his given to us. So the company SHOULDN’T have any financial crisis. If there is, then the money has been gone into somewhere.
- With the figure above, there is no POSSIBILITY that the company will go into crisis. With this large amount money, how did it spend? I think all will be wondering where the money gone too. Maybe TJ is having his lesson in the SHARE MARKET or for his alcoholic use.
- There is no reason to blame ANYONE about the lost. As the MAY salary had came out. WHY DOES the so call ambassador doesn’t work at all. IT’s ALL NON SENSE.

3. WILL PAY SALARY BUT HOW MUCH CAN YOU COMMIT TO IT.
- As what I heard from other outlet, there is not a compulsory question for any YZ staff to reply it. IT IS YOUR DUTY to pay the salary after the hard work of everyone getting the job done.
- What commitment you will give to YZ ppl. Don’t simply ask ppl favor when you are not doing your job. Don’t rely on others when things come so call UNWANTED.

- To TJ, can you please explain this sentence that has been made. DON’T EVER SAY TO CHECK THE IP. There is many IT ppl around the corner. So PLEASE DON’T TALK CRAP ON IT.
- Although im not an IT expert, I’ll explain abit on it. “To yogajess blog, I know you can identify IP but I don’t think you are able to locate that person internet IP addressing(fake addressing). But not offending on your knowledge because he is trying to CRAP with IP.” TJ is using a STREAMYX and a STREAMYX will always be a dynamic IP. It changes everytime you restart the modem. The modem will get the so call internet IP. So that’s why you get a different IP when the same user logon in 2 different places. The chances of getting back the same IP on 2 different location is TOTALLY 0%. Only FIX line you are able to get the same IP add after you restart your modem. In another word, make a dial-up on a PPPOE.
- Don’t blame ppl to use your NAME coz your name is NOT COPYRIGHT PROTECTED and REGISTERD
- Please do try the above statement, internal IP wont change (DHCP is another thing) but the INTERNET IP will change. TRUST ME !!! if not I will be using TJ curses.
- To support my statement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ip_address

Will stop here for questioning TJ argument. I will reply on LITTLE MM confusion (Little MM on 18 July, 2008 at 2:21 am).

1.proof of the financial status of the company?
- As anyone who had been working in the account department, sure they will know about the cash flow.
- There has been insufficient of cash fund starting during the month of JAN 2008. As the insider source, they are receiving there money on the day before CNY. It makes them similar to those very unfortunate companies that USUALLY pays the bonus and salary for celebrating CNY. They also borrow money from members, to get new attire for CNY. PITY CASE.
- EVERY DEBTOR have been owe more than 6 month are not able to collect all their money. BOSS signature not yet sign is the reason they give us.
- If the financial is solid, there will not be payment DELAYING. This is the concrete proof.
- As the previous comment, it shows that TJ is making empty promises for sometimes… don’t blame me that I’m making up the story, kindly check the comments.
- EPF and SOCSO are not given from JULY 07 onwards. If the company are stable, do you think this is a problem?

2/3. -the money laundering by vennie lok or whoever is involve?
-the money laundering by Ms Mun (ex financial controller)- which i heard but have no idea/clue if it’s true or jz a rumour?

- Just to give you a simple mindset. As we watch HK drama movie, ANY company that is having SUDDENLY BURST of financial crisis normally comes with a FRAUD case. Who is the main writer? I guess no one can explain but you may have a good idea. The honorable man.
- As debtors, normally they won’t behave so unethical. They believe that the company will be up again so that they can get their hard work money back. For this, you can check with the DEBTORS. Kindly see the owing MONTH. To support my statement, kindly refer to any outlet ambassador. They are the ones who knows more cause the debtors usually deal with them (chit chat about their suffering towards the company.)
- For the recent case Ah long, there is no doubt that SOMEONE OWE SOMEONE money for a long time. Normally this case started when the debt are more then 6 months. Please think thrice, having ah long to get back the money sure the amount of it is above ….so call “Ks”….. Just think about it, drama ah long only come to kacau for a long period after the payment if not made, refer to Ah long movie, and the debtors YZ owe is way way back that you can accept.

4.the legend of pasta’s case?
- Due to some reason, this involves many parties so it wouldn’t be answer. Sorry bout that. Privacy to others.

5.the lim lay gaik against tj’s case?
- As for the above, it has been in BLACK and WHITE for the court case due to someone mismanagement.

Dear Harrynana, 明白您的意思，一定会紧记在心。
This is not your personal blog. No personal updates are required here on what you are doing with your family. Here is the place for you to understand the sadness, harness and deniable fact that you have hurt and damage. Not only financial but mentality and physically you have done. No one will try to drag you down if you did your things CORRECTLY at the first place.

For Melaka yogis and the MLK management. It is sad for what the management said. But that’s the TRUTH of what ALEN have spoken. Hopefully we will have the possible of going to melaka for a caring YOGA when Malaka YZ is available.

That is my conclusion. Thank you.

Strange….if it was cash bank in…..how come my account still show nothing wan….?

tj,
早。吃完bak kut teh就应该想办法解决马六甲会员的问题咯。。。
我们等你的好消息！
还有，介绍你看OSHO奥修禅师的书，能帮助你。

to TJ: bah kut teh??? You still have the face to tell the others that u r having bak kut teh for breakfast with parents?? When you said that, didnt you feel shameful? Did you know that the teachers don’t even have the $$$ to have a good meal like YOU??? Why you didnt mention that you actually only gave the half of the total amount of the Jun’s salaries to some of the YZ staff? Only a total of 70 YZ staff recieved that amount of Jun’s salaries. Frontdesk staff, their 1 month salaries are about 1k. So, you actually gave them onli few hundreds? Do you think with that amount of salary that you gave them earlier, they can have bak kut teh for breakfast? Hence, dont try to show off that you have bak kut teh for breakfast. So may i ask you, when will you give them back the remaining of their salaries and can they really survive with the amount of salaries that you gave them earlier within that month? Worst, those teachers who haven recieve their salaries from May till now cant even have a good meal for the whole day. Please, don’t show off what are you going to eat for your breakfast, lunch, dinner or supper. Nobody cares. That action really made ppl felt more disappointed on you.

YogaJess says: KingCrab, don’t you know TJ is just trying to annoyed everybody? Just because I mentioned BKT in my previous post and he said BKT also? Please la. Just ignore all his teasing since you guys know about his ’sui yeong’.

Frauds are prevalent in cyberworld. They just hide behind and do any harmful things, they want. They are the real coward. Beware guys, there is the tool which can identify you from the ip address too.

Tj, you got to protect yourself. Register a new email id, using the same ip address again to inform jess the new email id (from the ‘Email: ‘column only, of coz).
Don’t ever expose this id to anyone, use this new email id to prove you are the real Tj.

Tj, it was kind of misleading when you asked jess to check the above feedback. There are couples of feedback that sent by tj before!

Tj, this is important, pls clarify that the below comment were sent by you.

TJ on 18 July, 2008 at 11:40 pm #
Dear YZ staff, sorry for the delay, Paullin, Steph and I just banked in cash through the cash deposits machine into your individual account …

Lot of your teachers and staffs arguing for these few days in this blog is bcoz they want to see this message.

Tj, they’ll take your word on it, and i have the faith in you, you’ll do what you said.

YogaJess says: All along TJ is using the same IP. I am familiar with his IP. Last night was exception. I was staying up MODERATING comments til 1.30am and I saw 2 TJs log in at the same time. I thought maybe I am seeing things till the real TJ using his usual IP prompted me. I will be more careful now. To make my work easier, TJ,please stick back to your existing IP. *hush, hush*

Take it positively, u earn 1 more RM 50 than us.

After reading the blog for few days , it’s good to hear that they are paying partial salary to the staff.. TJ , do remember the landlord also waiting the money to pay to the staff as well ..

oh my god!!the official website can’t log in again!!wuwuwu~~~~WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~

But jess, ip address would be diff if router is reset or when the login period expires then we can never get back the same ip (unless you use fixed ip) as explained in detail by seth_ron@panas.com. Tj, make sure you have the way to prove you are real, when your ip changed by itself, to avoid ppl accuse you playing ip here.

Hi,Mr TJ!im one of the member of yoga zone.im very happy to learn yoga at here because after i learn my health got improve if compare to last time.actually you have many nice staffs in your company cause they are so friendly to members and always close with me.i feel there is my second home.but just wan to let u know at here start from last 3 months i always need to buy a meal to them just because of you always delay to pay their salary.(i heard they say you always pay mid of the month)when reach this month,the situation is become worse again.i just read your comments only,u say you already pay the salary to staffs for half but why just now i call my consultant she say don’t have?i feel very symphathy to them and will buy them a lunch later.im not a calculation person,just want to let you know their situation only since you say you can eat Bak Kut Teh with your parents so do you mind buy some meal to your lovely staffs also?sorry for any words you not wish to hear but i come for peace.thank you!

TJ, glad to hear that you finally banked in some cash being part payment to some of your staffs. At least this give us members a lightly hope.

However, I would suggest you don’t spend too much time in explaining, justifying or clarifying like the IP issues and especially your bak kut teh and other personal life or stories. I’m not too sure whether yo
