MCP is not related to Microsoft. It is not the qualifications in IT but most Malaysians have it.
One thing I noticed when I stepped foot into supermarkets and hypermarkets especially the ones in
Heard people saying that there is no free lunch in this world? I can prove him/her wrong. Any person that holds the MCP can have free lunch anytime at any shopping centers, supermarkets or hypermarkets. Being an MCP does not need lots of money, yet you can gain a lot. Below is the short story of a typical life of a MCP.
The MCP wake up at 10am on the Sunday. She just takes a bath and essential make-up and there she goes to the shopping complex. Browsing along the cosmetic session she managed to get some free perfumes, get the eyes make-up, free lipstick and so on. After the “beauty regime” she feels she is hungry. There she walks into the nearby hypermarkets. With a shopping basket, she goes to hunt for free food. There are lots of free tasters especially on the weekends. She goes to the instant noodle area for appetizer first and fills it up with mee. If one is not enough, the MCP can always ask for more by just saying “ Ahya.. one is not enough to taste. Can I have another one?” Before leaving she will take a 5 pack instant noodles and dump in to the basket. When she walked to the next rack she will just dump it somewhere. Then she goes to the frozen food area for the main meal. There will be fish fingers, sausages, BBQ chickens and lots more. The MCP will just follow the eat , take and dump strategy. Everyone is happy. Then comes the dessert, the MCP will target the ice cream, yogurt or the instant drink area. There it goes a full 3 course meal. The MCP will take some sweets and then check-out. A few bucks for something to keep the mouth fresh.
Next the MCP feels like she needs to know some gossip news, about celebrity and more. The MCP feels so happy when she saw a bookstore. Walk in grasp a magazine or a book and start reading. There are many seats for reading too especially like MPH in
After an hour or two, the MCP feels tired. She is tempted to try all the foot reflexology shops. “Why should I pay?” The names with all the “O”s will come out- Osim, Ogawa, Otto. You just name it and they have everything. The MCP just drop by the store show how interested she is and try them one by one. After that she would just tell the salesperson that she will consult with her mother because she is buying it for her mother and will bring her mother to try one day. There she goes again.

Brilliant!
I feel bad whenever I don't buy something which I tried something for.
That is the reason why I avoid the Osim and etc, because I know I wouldn't buy the stuff at the end of the day.
These people who does this are just exploiting the freebies that companies give out to entice customers to purchase something.
My parents who are retired, will always avoid but if they don't want to buy, they will gracefully say, "no thanks! i'm a retiree, not much $$$"... They will avoid trying out things if they are not interested in getting it. :)
Sad that such MCPs exist here. Really make us malu...
very true. Some Malaysians are like that but not all. You can see them in our daily life. Just go to any newstand or bookshop and you will know. How much does a CLEO magazine cost? Just grab a copy bah!
