Have you notice food prices have already been increased since early of the year? If your normal basic “Wantan Mee” was RM5.00 last year, it’s RM5.50 now – that’s 10% increase. A plate of “Mee Goreng” at Mamak stall is now RM4.00 when it was RM3.50 three months ago. Of course if you stay in […]
... written on Feb 21 2014Malaysian Chinese are still celebrating the Year of the Wooden Horse. Noticeable, there were fewer shoppers this year. The main culprit – high prices of goods. Instead of spending and showing off at restaurants, many chose to spend time at home during reunion dinners. Instead of chatting about (*yawn*) skyrocketing cost of living at the […]
... written on Feb 06 2014Malaysia is facing bankruptcy and PM Najib Razak was not talking nonsense when he made the threat. So, it’s either GST at 6% or he’s flying off to Bahamas for good, leaving Malaysians to settle the nation’s debt. The country has proudly accumulated more than RM550 billion in gross debt from 1990-2013 (the actual figure […]
... written on Jan 24 2014I had my breakfast at my favourite Mamak restaurant today. A piece of Roti Kosong, Nasi Lemak bungkus and Teh Tarik kurang manis totalled RM3.70, the same price as before the 2014 Budget last Friday. It’s my favourite Mamak hangout because this is perhaps the last place on earth that will increase its prices after […]
... written on Oct 28 2013When former prime minister Abdullah Badawi did the unthinkable back in June 2008 by hiking the fuel price (RON97) by a whopping 40.62% from RM1.92 a liter to RM2.70 a liter, all hell breaks loose. It was such a huge screw-up that Badawi administration had to pacify angry Malaysians by “reimbursing” RM625 cash rebate for […]
... written on Sep 09 2013One of the main reasons BN regime (Barisan Nasional or National Front), led by PM Najib Razak, fails to perform better in the May 5th 2013 general election was because it lost in the cyber psychological warfare. Actually opposition PR (Pakatan Rakyat or People’s Alliance) didn’t do anything extraordinary to win the heart of the […]
... written on May 29 2013Looking at the huge crowd during all the rallies called by Pakatan Rakyat, there’s no doubt thousands are still angry with the country’s election system which rewards those who “first past the post”. Hence the possibility of minority rule the land as in the case of PM Najib Razak’s BN coalition. There’re very little you […]
... written on May 16 2013Today, May 13th 2013, is a day that every Malaysian should remember. Approximately 44 years ago, racial riots happened hence the infamous May 13th 1969 black chapter in the country’s history. Nope, you shouldn’t remember the May 13th that happened 44 years ago but rather the May 13th that happens 44 years later, which is […]
... written on May 13 2013At the current age of 87, former premier Mahathir is running out of time. He needs to position his son, Mukhriz Mahathir, at least as UMNO deputy president before he kicks the bucket. He deliberately lobbied two of his “budak suruhan” (boy-servants), Ibrahim Ali and Zulkifli Nordin, to be fielded as candidates in the 13th […]
... written on May 10 2013Some trends never fails to amuse everyone during Malaysia general elections – whenever opposition is leading during votes counting, they will always lose towards the end of the process because “courier service” will deliver some magic ballot boxes (*grin*). Equally amusing was the fact that these magic boxes will always save big guns, this round […]
