GOING GONE: IN 2016, CORRUPTION-RIDDLED MALAYSIA MAY COLLAPSE

Yesterday was another bleaky Monday.

Some bleaky news : oil is down to US35 per barrel (WTI). Brent is at US38. (Our Budget was based on US48??)

Ringgit is down to RM4.32 against the Dollar. The Bursa Kuala Lumpur opened 14 points lower this morning.

Hang in there folks. Dont get too worried. There is so much to do and to be done in the real world. A great future awaits us all. We will get through all this. But we have to kick the rats out.

I received the following from a reader Wong in Seremban. Thank you Wong.

Thank you to everyone who has taken time and effort to send me so much information. Pretty soon this blog will be written by you folks, the readers. I will just add some comments.

Perhaps some day in the future, I will be able to divulge some of the people who "write" in this Blog. Or give me information. That is why this is a hot blog !!

Anyway, here is Wong

Tuan Syed,

Aeon Big Seremban, formerly known as Carrefour supermarket is closing down on 31.12.2015.

These days shoppers have less money to spend because of GST, etc.

Prices of everything are going up, up and up except our wages.

Almost all the employees of Aeon Big are Malay who will be retrenched on 31.1.2.2015.

Feel so sorry for them.

If Seremban shoppers still want to shop at Aeon Big, they have to travel about 60km to Aeon Big in PutraJaya from Seremban.

Attach are 3 photos to show the sorry sights of Aeon Big Seremban

thank you, have a nice day

Thank you bro. Here are the pictures :

Then this morning this report came out:

My comments : If we dont kick out the rats, the country is going to be in really deep trouble come 2016. As someone said, if the world oil prices remain at these levels for another year, if the Ringgit stays at these levels for another year, soon we will be eating each other.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the country. We have a fantastic climate, beautiful sunshine, wonderful rain, the country is just green everywhere, plenty of natural resources, unbelievable fresh water supply, beautiful beaches, islands, seas and oceans. Great infrastructure built by Ayahanda, roads, railways, airports, ports, townships, Putrajaya, KLIA, Southern Klang Valley Corridor, Western Klang Valley Corridor, the Penang conundrum, Kuching Science Park, etc.

We have 30 million people, 5 million Banglas, Indons, Myanmars - a sufficient consumer base.

Unfortunately a bunch of brainless morons have learnt that instead of serving the public, they prefer to steal. They steal in broad daylight because they know nothing will happen. They understand the "tidak apa" attitude very well. This is our problem.

The "tidak apa" attitude. - http://syedsoutsidethebox.blogspot.com/
