USA have a sign of economic downturn already, this will be impact to Malaysia sooner or later. The former Deputy PM of Singapore Dr Tan had warned Singaporean to be get ready for the next economic turmoil.<BR/><BR/>Lets look into above matter added the instability of Malaysia political issue, would Malaysia will hit by both issue ? This is the worry, if both Economical and political issue hit our beloved Malaysia, are we strong enough like 1997 to solve the above both problem.<BR/><BR/>Today i just got some Singapore dollar from Singapore to exchange to Malaysia Ringgit, surprisingly SGD1 is equal to RM2.363. This should be the highest in this year.are this the sign of economy turmoil is coming?................<BR/><BR/>Further to this , the global natural disaster in Myanmar and china also further worsen the world economy. as a IT and Businessman , i have a feeling that the economy nightmare is coming............... be ready.........Jason ANG Kian You , 汪建佑https://www.blogger.com/profile/07782903940550425927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-9186247152773386772008-05-20T14:41:00.000+08:002008-05-20T14:41:00.000+08:00hahaha tony, looks like they will have a prepared ...hahaha tony, looks like they will have a prepared response again by the time u ask this question in parliament bcuz they cld be reading yr blog hereJohnny Onghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368538590359769938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-11804398290671369882008-05-20T14:23:00.000+08:002008-05-20T14:23:00.000+08:00Dear YB Pua,I'm no economist, but any idiot can se...Dear YB Pua,<BR/><BR/>I'm no economist, but any idiot can see or feel that the Malaysian economy is tanking. Whatever the reasons, the BN government is not looking into this issue seriously.<BR/><BR/>We are all living day-to-day on plain inertia. That will run out sooner or later. Yet, we have to bold strategies to bring us further in economic development.<BR/><BR/>The current focus is too much on populist policies like subsidies and infrastructure development. What we need are policies that encourage capacity building so that we can reap the future rewards of such capacity.<BR/><BR/>You were a former businessman, and I'm sure you understand the pulse, or the lack thereof, of the economy on the ground. People are suffering, with lack of quality jobs, crippling inflation, and a couldn't-care-less government.Bundahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419329758867342260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-33982527334387470372008-05-20T13:04:00.000+08:002008-05-20T13:04:00.000+08:00yeah,make sure u ask the question YB! its a good o...yeah,make sure u ask the question YB! its a good onelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10981509901805172666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-82157421480975258592008-05-20T12:15:00.000+08:002008-05-20T12:15:00.000+08:00I, on second thoughts, may have been out foxed by ...I, on second thoughts, may have been out foxed by the wily and mighty Tun Mahatir. I think I must give Tun Mahatir more credit than I have does so far. I have to consider that he was shrewd enough to survive 22 years as President of UMNO so he must know moret than I give him credit for.<BR/><BR/>How about looking at the big picture, LIKE MAHATIR NOW SEE THE ERRORS OF HIS PREVIOUS LIFE AS PRESIDENT OF UMNO, and now would like to correct it for the good of Malaysia ? This is one way of looking at the issue. Therefore ask yourself the question, “IF I WERE MAHATIR WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORATNT THING THAT I HAVE TO DO TO PUT MALAYSIA ON THE WORLD MAP ? DO I WANT A MALAYSIA THAT IS DIVIDED & FOR EVER FIGHTING ONE FACTION AGAINST ANOTHER OR DO I WANT A MALAYSIA THAT IS UNITED AND PEACEFUL; with all the races living side by side and in harmony, like the Malaysia of the OLD DAYS when Malays, Indians & Chinese mixing as friends and neighbours ? I like to use a turn of phrase that Mahatir often uses to denigrate Australia; COLOUR BAR ! Is it good for Malaysia to have a system of COLOUR BAR ? I don’t think so but that is what Ketuaan Malayu means ! Therefore since Mahatir is so disapproving of COLOUR BAR, will he not want to do away with colour bar ?<BR/><BR/>Therefore looking at all these issues that Mahatir will not approve is it therefore not conceivable that Mahatir want to change these evils that dogs our society ? In the perpetration of all these evils WHAT IS IT THAT PERPETUATES THESE PROBLEMS ? It is in truth the perpetuation of the single problem THE PROBLEM OF WHAT REALLY DIVIDES THE PEOPLE & CITIZENS OF MALAYSIA; THE EXISTENCE OF THE IDEA OF KETUAAN MELAYU. Therefore for me to see this as a problem, what will make this evil cancer go away ? This cancer will only go away if those who lead UMNO will also go away and how to achgieve this, IS TO WEAKEN UMNO SO THAT THIS CANCER CANNOT FIND SUPPORT.<BR/><BR/>I believe this is the objective of Tun Mahatir in doing all he can and did to weaken UMNO. The Malaysian political scene today has destroyed the obvious dominance of UMNO. That is the truth on the ground whether the leadership of UMNO will accept it or not; Malay dominance is gone for good ! The rationale for this opinion is simple maths. Malays = 68%, Chinese = 24% (swinging voters) and Indians = 8% but Malay voters is divided into 2 camps that reduces their vote bank to 34%. No matter what the Malays do they will not be able to dilute the Chinese swing votes, because the Chinese do not trust MCA and rightly so. The Chinese must never ever trust MCA again because for 50 years MCA was in fact UMNO side kick, bloody Malay cock suckers !yapchongyeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484332799185336813noreply@blogger.com
