Speak Asia Latest News

It’s been quite a while we could not update you on the legal proceedings relation to Speak Asia Latest News. As everyone must know that we are unable to update you all because as per the direction of the honorable mediator Retired Justice Mr. Lahoti the entire mediation process has to be kept secret.

At this point of time we request all Speak Asians not to pay attention to any unauthentic information either positive or negative. One fact which we have come to know through our SAOL sources that the mediation meeting is certainly going in SAOL panellists favour and the hearing in Supreme Court on the outcome of the mediation process is going to start very soon.


There are several court hearing going on simultaneously in SAOL matter both criminal and civil in nature, but the one on which the immediate distribution of money to the panellists and the future of Speak Asia business is dependent is the Solomon James matter under the mediation of honourable Mr. Lahoti. One clear cut instruction to the concerned govt. dept. by the Supreme Court, obviously after getting satisfied about the business model and its lawful execution by SAOL, and you will see your Reward Points (RPs) getting reflected in your bank Accounts and business getting restarted.

Our suggestion to all Speak Asians is not to worry at all because in the history of online marketing in India no Company other than SAOL has fought its case in each and every concerned court of law, so vigorously and dutifully. Generally in the absence of any clear cut law to govern online direct selling in India every time when authorities and competitors hit a Company, the promoters and management prefers to run away rather than fighting the battle. In Speak Asia's case the authorities, media and competitors got a sure surprise and the Company proved it beyond doubt that they have a sustainable business model in place and they are not going anywhere.

It is not secret that they have appointed one among the best lawyers in the country, are able to hold entire consumer base of 20 lakh people as well as employees, have no intention to flee the country in any way and fighting the case tooth and nail.

In our point of view the future of Speak Asia business will be very secure and rewarding which could be passed on to the next generation. Once the Company comes out of this legal mess every one can peacefully earn their living on it without having fear of being unnecessarily harassed by the corrupt and rotten system of our Country.

The heart wants to start celebrating but the mind advices to show some restraint till the final verdict is announced by the Hon. Supreme Court.

Hon’ble Mr. Justice R.C. Lahoti ji has concluded his mediation process yesterday i.e. 19 December, 2011.

It is now clear that all the respondents have recorded their presence before the Hon. Mediator including the elusive EOW.

Hon’ble Mr. Justice Lahoti ji will soon file his report before the Hon. Supreme Court and the matter should come up for hearing before the Supreme Court in early January, 2012 .

I only wish to draw the attention of all the Speakasians that although the matter is moving positively in our favour the relief as is being spread on various forums is absolutely false and baseless.

The WEBSITE AND PAYMENTS are not going to start before 28 December, 2011 etc. like is being reported on various forums. All this will surely happen but only after the matter has been heard and finally ordered by the Hon. Supreme Court.

"If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it" …Paul Bryant

Once again I wish to urge all my Speakasian family members continue to be united, remain absolutely positive, have complete unflinching faith in SAOL .

As per our conversation with the SAOL officials following are the updates:

1. The much awaited mediation meeting under the supervision of honorable retd. chief justice of India Mr. Lahoti has been concluded. The third and final mediation meeting happened yesterday on 19th december, 2011.

2. An important fact to be noted is that the Economic Offence Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police was also represented in the last meeting. Now each and every party has been represented properly in front of the honorable mediator.

3. Now once honorable Mr. Lahoti presents his mediation report in Supreme Court the hearing will start. It is expected to start in first week of January after the winter vacation of the court.

Note: In our view the Speak Asia case has come to a conclusive phase where as soon as the hearing in Supreme Court starts, within few weeks the final verdict will be out. At this moment we suggest all the Speak Asians to stay united and pray to god that the final outcome come in the favour of Speak Asia family.

Proud to be Speak Asian ! ! !

3.  ALL INDIA SPEAK ASIA PANELIST ASSOCIATION AND ORS 
V/S 
THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANR    

Case Number : Bombay(Criminal)    WP/3611/2011


However ever since this hearing, the entire Speak Asia Online community inclusive of the company and its employees, panelist and their family members including both women and old parents have become the target of  a renewed malicious campaign by the authorities. This started with the arrest of Mr. Melvin Crasto, President of the AISPA and also this followed up with the arrest of one of the Regional Manager of our company.  Both these actions are highly deplorable as they come in the back drop of the mediation process already set in motion. We are given to believe though reliable sources that a senior officer of EOW has gone on to state that there will be more such arrests in the very near future with an aim of spreading panic amongst the panelist community which till now has been the major source of strength for the company.

We would like to assure all our stake holders that we will leave no stone unturned, not only to resolve the current situation but also to restart our business at the earliest. All our endeavours are aimed towards ensuring that our entire community including our employees, panelist and business associates is in no way inconvenienced any further.

Speak Asia Online Login: We would like to draw your attention to the official communication website of Speak Asia Online Pte. Ltd. www.speakasiaonlinemarketing.blogspot.com where the Company has posted latest update about the on-going legal battle and narrated how the Company and its panelists are being targeted by the authorities and competitors with vested interest. This is happening in spite of on-going mediation process under the supervision of honourable Retired. Chief Justice Mr. R. C. Lahoti.

We request all of you to go through the latest update from the Company and inform your team about it. At this critical juncture only and only the unity among Speak Asia Online family can bring all of us out of this mess. By this time the intention of the SAOL management is crystal clear that they want to fight this legal battle vigorously so that the business can be restarted and panelists money can be refunded. Now it’s the time for the panelists to show their support to the Company so that this legal battle can be brought to a conclusive end.


One small mistake from the panelist community and again it will bring all of us back to square one from where it all started. So we request all of you to be calm and stay united with the company till we win this battle in the court of law.

The much awaited mediation meeting under the chairmanship of honorable retd. chief justice started today at the mediation center in New Delhi.

As per the news which we got from the officials of the SAOL, Mr. R. C. Lahoti had listened all points carefully and issued further notices to all concerned departments. Advocate Mr. Rajiv from panelists’ side, Advocate Mr. Abdi from the Company side and advocates from RBI only were present there. No other department officials were present there. All the advocates of SAOL are satisfied from today’s proceedings and outcome of today’s meeting. All other departments got notices from Mr. Lahoti.

The meeting is not yet concluded and will be continued for some more sessions in couple of days. As and when we'll get the update of the meeting we'll keep you all posted.

As one of the major growing online survey companies in whole Asia and India Speak Asia Online.com is now having 2 million panelists on in India. They say they can touch 1 crore (10 million) mark by 2011 year ending.

Speak Asia Online is one of the very controversial company of this decade. On the first side, this is the first company which is still fighting to comeback in spite of getting so much trouble from the legal authorities in India. On the other side, thousands of Speak Asia people are still motivated and think very positive about the company. And this makes controversial because both the company Speak Asia Online as well as its investors knows that the concept run by the company is fake.

The latest news about Speak Asia Online Login is that the company has executed an exit policy through which a person can opt to make an exit from the company and get his refund. The surprising thing about this exit policy is that neither the company Speak Asia has made this announcement on its official website nor they have sent any email regarding this. They have booked another domain speakasiamarketing.com and given the details of exit policy there and you can opt to exit from the same website.

Having their offices located in Singapore Speak Asia Online has seen the success any company dream of. Many people are joining day by day and referring their friends and relatives to join as well. In this company you can earn anywhere between 4000 to 40000 per month depending upon your investment.

Bulk SMS messages can be targeted directly to the mobile phone of the user. It is capable of reaching 91% of the US population, with consumers on average opening 98% of text messages and responding directly to 26% of them. Another study reveals that companies are truly beginning to see and realize the benefits of text message marketing to consumers. Twenty-five percent of the respondents said they were currently using text marketing to send out their marketing message, up from 15 percent at the end of 2010.Via a simple text message, you can reach over 70 percent of the population, whereas the other mobile platforms are just not there yet in terms of the number of users who use or even have them.

Easy ways to make extra cash from home


If you’d like to make some extra money by being a hostess extraordinaire, starting your own direct selling business can be a fun way to do it. Working for a direct selling company allows you to create a flexible schedule by hosting parties, shows or workshops, and take home a percentage of your sales or a percentage of the sales of people you sign up to be representatives. Keep in mind that to make a lot of money, you need to sell a lot, but if you’re looking to supplement a steady income, direct selling could be just what you’re looking for. And if it turns out direct selling isn’t for you, most companies offer reimbursement or exchange programs to buy back unused materials at full price or part of the full price, depending on how long you have had the products. Read on to discover nine companies that might be worth your while.

Before you make a final decision, check out the store’s reputation with the Better Business Bureau.

Babysit: Put the word out on Facebook, your school listserv and your church website that you’re free to watch kids. For a wider reach, sign up with SitterCity.com. The site connects parents with babysitters in their area. There’s no fee to join and you set your own rates.

Cook for cash: If people rave about your culinary talent, use it to make money. Let friends and family know via social media that you’re willing to make dinner for a tired mom. All she has to do is pick it up. Build the cost of groceries and storage containers into your fee.

Clear clutter—and sell it with the tap of an app: Geolist, a free iPhone and Android app, lets you instantly upload a photo, description and price of whatever you’re selling. The app uses location-based technology, so anyone in your area who accesses it will see your item. Think of it as a virtual local classified ad.
