I am not feeling well. I think I have chikugunya. All the symptoms say that I am having it. May be that's the price that I've to pay because of using its name..chikugunya. I did't respect one's trademark or pattern probably.
On Friday, I watched that TV program aired on TV3.. The Exchange. The guess was 2nd Minister of Finance.. I don't remember his full name, but certainly his look is noticeable. He is such a funny guy. Gan Ai Ling (the host) asked why Malaysian government claims that Malaysia won't experience any recession meanwhile Singapore which we all know has a better economic foundation admitted that they gonna embrace recession by next year. He was simply said that Singaporean economy is not diversified. I am puzzled..... Is Malaysian economy more diversified than Singapore? Then, what makes us be more diversified? In what term? Based on both track record, in 1997-98 Financial Crisis, it shows that Singaporean economy is more resilient than ours. So, what makes us better after 10 years in comparison with our small neighbor? There should be a benchmarking.
Talking without giving any solid evidence or reliable proof is becoming apart of our lives today. Prior to this, increasing the price of petrol by RM0.78 sen has been portrayed as unavoidable. As if there is no alternative at all. The ministers like Shabby and Sherri keep on saying this is the best for the country. But recently they announced that we gonna enjoy new scheme of pricing. People can enjoy lower price of petrol. Why can't they come out with the ideas long before. Why they announced it just after Wan Azizah vacant her seat in Parliament????? Why??
Then, Najib today claimed that petrol price at RM2 per liter is undoable. Again I am puzzled. He mentioned 3 reasons... again another lame excuses.. Firstly, government expenditure for subsidy will be enormous. Second, there are negative side effects when we fail to follow world's price. Third, there will be a wastage because people do not appreciate this resource. In other words, he says that high price of oil is important to "educate" people. People need to realize that oil is irreplaceable.
At a glance, all these are acceptable. It is easy for us to comprehend. However after few glances then we can realize that all these are crappy talking. First, enormous subsidy means the heavy burden to the government. This is certainly the responsibility of the government.. giving subsidy... helping people... if the government fails to perform their job then it's better not to have any... If Najib refuses.. then step down. Secondly, negative side effect... suddenly, he sounds like he is an IMF's president. So, neo-liberalists... everthing must be determined by the market. Let the forces of demand and supply determine the 'right' price. This is really contradict to the many measures and policies of the government... like bail-out policies of sickening companies and incentives to foreign investors. Finally, how dare u say about educating people when you do not show proper examples... dont talk about being trifty when your wife is a shopperhollic..
This is so sickening... I am about to throw up...
