Using these 4 Tools to Great Effect

Combining Message, Broadcast, Moments and Group Chats

We know that WeChat has these four simple but very powerful tools: MMBG or Moments, Message, Broadcast and Group chats.

Moments: At the Discover page, similar to Facebook’s Newsfeed. It is social media sharing.

Broadcast: Message Broadcast, similar to WhatsApp message broadcast, is a one-to-many messaging tool

Message: Your one-to-one messaging tool

Group Chats: Your one-to-many sharing tool

On their own, these four tools are powerful. But when you combine them, their reach is scary. This is what I typically do:

1. I post a touching story in Moments and ask my friends to share it too

2. When this Moments post gather more than 10 likes, I screenshot the page and share it in my Group chats, asking the group chat members to share it

3. I also do a Message Broadcast to my contacts and get them to like and share my Moments post

4. I also send individualised messages to my friends, asking them to like my Moments post.

5. When this Moments post gathers more than 20 likes and comments, I repeat the whole process until the total likes reach a high figure, e.g. 50.

You can repeat the whole process above as often as you like. Note that your friends may not look at Moments, but Message Broadcast and Message are what they cannot ignore. This method is very powerful. Try it!

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
