Feel the wrath?

Im not sure, but how many of u already felt the economy recession? There is some vote yes, and there is a vote for no too!

Today's newpaper talking about some companies that reducted thier worker's salary till 75%, to the suprise... @.@ some of the workers are kinda unhappy and angry about it. Well, i understand the feel of that, but dont u feel? u r kinda lucky compared to those having 1 month free holidays?With this 25% salary reduction, that means... the company that u r working with it now, are facing a lot of difficulties and no doubt, it might close down.

I do hope, all restaurents to REDUCE thier prices. It is freaking unacceptable the prices that u raised a year ago for current situation. Now the fuel is alot cheaper than used to be, u should have no reason to raise but to reduce [e.g a milo ice drink in Mamak used to cost RM1.80 but now RM2.00... and the milos ice's price of Rm2 is increased after the government announced 1 litre fuel Rm1.80]. I still remember, back few years ago... the Mamaks said they are the among cheapest if compared to others but now, how far is the truth goes? So, bring down ur chaos price of the foods, or face boikot from me.

When the petrol price up;
Traders: "Aiyo, we have to increase the price or we might face the loss"

When the petrol price goes down;
Traders: "I know it is down, but government doesnt ask us to lower down our prices"

Banks in Malaysia, starts to reduce/lower thier loan interest, this is a great news but still the bank's loans are for the richs not for the poors. The loan sharks are the poors' neighbourhood banks, so i do hope if they able to reduce thier loan interest as well. I know it will reduce ur income but with the current recession, no doubt more and more small-scale businessperson will takes loans from u.

OK, to be clear... im not supporting nor disagree about loan sharks. They exists because of the demands, and im just pen down my opinions where it is a win-win situation as i doesnt wan to c 1997 supermans happen again. Side, do not hope the government to help us as government might went bankrap @.@, just like wat Ireland's government collapse [unknown reason]. Government went bankrap are far more worst than economy meltdown. Make a right choice for the right one.

CNY means KL is a dead city

KL basically a dead city when CNY is here. Major roads or highways towards KL having very very less vehicles on road. One would ask,"I understand the chinese balik kampung for the reunion dinner, so where is the non-chinese in KL?" There is few answer for this:

1. They balik kampung as well~ Oh ho ho balik kampung~, oh ho ho balik kampung~~!

2. The city kinda empty,as it only have less crowds and when it is less crowds, the non-chinese owned shops would close as well to prevent robberies and when they closed the shops, the city have nothing to offer to the visitors!

There is this our former PM said, if we to "bulldozer" every properties that owned by non-malays, KL only left Kampung Baru. So, there is no suprise if the chinese owned shops, mini-markets, workshops, companies or industries stops thier operating hours and go for thier reunion dinners or holidays. Not only that, those who's Boss is a chinese, will have thier employees to take compulsory leaves as the boss hatta balik kampung as well for reunion dinner or simple, hisap angpau.

I witness myself, where all Malaysians stock thier home's fridge and dry foods cupboard before CNY. Not only that, during CNY, even the markets doesnt operating! with the few traders selling the "expired products" like kubis aged 3 days old [non-fresh foods].

Conclusion... When CNY comes, Malaysia's economic stops for 15 days?

Malaysia, Ready For Meltdown Economy?

Remember when i suggested few steps to slow down our economy impact? Click here if u have forgotten.

Our government finally move to ensure our economy are in safe level. The bank negara has lower down the interest of loans, which is a great news to every businessman... xD but still not sure if they do provide loans to small companies?

2nd, Pak Lah stops all the incoming foreign labours at the moment, stating there the current situation doesnt need them much. For the on-going permits will stay on of course, but till thier permits expired.

This few initiate moves do give a little good news and the bad news.

There is millions of illegal immigrants in Msia, or should i said... more to come due to the "off-permits". To prevent this from happening, Msia should punish the illegal immigrants and give them a lesson, like how the ancient China emperor did, "Kill 100 to warn 1". Look deep at Brunei and Singapore, from my *kopitiam knowledge... this two country did punish the illegal heavily as a warning. Hence, this two country face lesser illegal immigrants [dont give me the reason of small lands, but instead try to think back, wat if this two country doesnt punish the illegal immigrants? More and more to pour in like Msia!!!!] Kopitiam knowledge here means sembang kosong at kedai kopi

Our MOT, went to China and get several supports from China-men. Not so clear about this, but i do know two stuff about his China trip.

1. He manage to get Bank Of China's attention to help our Msia small-scale businessman, by giving low interest loans. [This is the great news, but for the T&C, hopefully it doesnt have any tricky stuff in there]

2. Enstablish two ways trade on Halal products, as China do have few million of muslims there. [By doing this, it do expand our Msians empire of trading since China's Muslim is more than then our Msia population]

Two of this above do help a little/lot on our economy as it will provide jobs to our Msians as there is this prediction where almost 200 000 factory workers might lost thier job.

Oh before i end this post, i encourage u Msians... . Y u need to care someone else when our country's poorman are suffering? side, u should donate ur money to this 200 000 which potential of losing job. Dont be blind or fool by organizer who asked u donate, they just wan fame/political-oriented/personal-related or to be famous. Not only that, our currency will flow out from our country too!!!

Hopefully our country will able to survive this economy crisis again.

Economy Crisis

Perhaps, like everyone knows... sooner or later we will face global economy crisis. Once again, our rakyats will suffer if we didn't do something now. The poor become poorer, and no one will help us in financial.

On the previous 1997 economy crisis, this sudden economy melt down caused thousands of businessman become superman. On that time, our government took a lot of steps to slowdown the effects of meltdown on our country. Just wondering, would the similar steps of 1997 are able to apply on 2009?

Anyway, here is my few suggestion:

1. How about have a campaign to donate to help the poor Malaysians ? [Continues Campaign]

2. Try to cancel off/reduce several taxes, such like fast food tax [to reduce the burden of rakyats], import/export tax [to encourage overseas investment], and etc.

3. Introduce "Tabung Malaysia" where the fortune rakyats can donate, so that this tabung can be use for economy crisis [just in case].

4. Save! Rakyats, save ur money! The more money u save the more richer u r, instead of having invoice bills.

5. Introduce a plan, which allow loans for the small companies with low interest. [to prevent them getting bankrupt]

6. Instead of rely on foreign workers, bring up the poor academic SPM students to fill in the missing sectors [i know, malaysians are chossing, but for starter, try to implement law where all citizens that above 17 & below 58 years old (if they are not student) should work].

But well, this just 2 cent thoughts... I as Malaysian, do really care about my country.
