Malaysian Politics, Perak Drama and World Economics

I'm not a politician nor an economist or an analyst. Lets analyze the topics that I am going to share:

Malaysian Politics
Although I am not really that old (in the thirties), the experiences and events that I been through, makes me sicks. To me, who ever the government is, it is the same. All political parties have their own agenda. And I believe that it is also the same throughout the world. We can see this guy trying to bomb that guy so that he can get oils and reconstruction projects etc. And we can see this guy is helping this particular industry because he owns a lots of shares in this company. And we can see big corporation sponsoring the election campaign so that if they won they will win projects so on and so forth. But is this wrong?

What if the one that you vote for doesn't benefits you? or What if they claims that they are clean government and will practice transparencies on all projects given all play dirty? Who knows? The point here is that, does anyone really believe there is clean governments in this world?

HOPE is the answer. Please name one president or prime minister or government which/who do not have scandal or speculation in the modern day.
I bet you can't name one.....The community and the people are getting smarter and smarter to analyze what is right and what is wrong. What is fine and what is overdoing. Lets zoom in to why the people is getting smarter? Every year, the governments and parents will always wanted to get the best education package for their children and budget approved that costs thousands,millions or billions has been deployed. The kids are getting computers, gadgets etc to communicate, learn, and explore the world by clicking the mouse. How do you expect the younger generation people not getting smarter? What happen if your kid ask you something that you don't know? What is your answer to your kids? I wonder? The same scenario happen to Malaysia, the people are getting smarter and the government brains are stagnant. If that happens, the people will try to outsmart the government. I wonder whether Tingkat 4 has a computer or not? Does our prime minister carry a laptop? or Does he know what a mouse is? or Does he knows how to surf the world wide web? Not to worry! the previous white house boss also not that good in information technology. At least that now we can see Mr. Obama carrying a blackberry. The government has to grow or getting smarter than the people or else a paradigm shift will happen sooner that expected.

Even our famous Tun knows how to blog and this old man(with all respect) is still learning at this age.

Lets look back at the political scenario in Perak. The event of hopping here and there in Perak and the change of hand of the state government happened recently, makes all Malaysian sicks. People are sick of someone not repecting the Sultan, people are sick of people been hijack and people are sick of those speculated kidnapping story. The question here is that WHO are the people who determine who to run the government? Who will repect the new state government after such a coward way to topple the previous state government? Each quarter is criticising each another for wrong doing, not gentlemen enough to fight and so on. Can you blame those people holding an assembly under the tree? Why they were denied to access the state government building and what rights the police has to stop them? What law does they apply and please come forward to explain to our fellow Malaysian.

Shameful is the right word. Shameful for holding an assembly under the tree? NO. It is shameful that they were force to do it under the tree.

World Economics is getting from bad to worse. Reason? We are still running the same way we are running the economic from the start. The financial system still the same from day one till now. It is proven that the system is outdated and should change. As I mentioned a lot of times before I wrote this, the banks will only lend to the rich and what will happen to the poor? Getting poorer and strugling and suffering as a result. Then, the banks will make hefty profit from credit cards interest, refinancing of mortgages and so on. The profits will go to their share holders. Ever seen a bank lower their interest to make marginal profits to help people? The answer is No. And have you ever seen a bank use their profits to share with the people? The answer is NO. What happen now is the government to pumping in the money to these banks because they are strugling. WHOSE money do the government use to pump in the money? TAX PAYER!!!! Ha ha ha. Does that make any sense???? Why should we help the BANKS? And now, after the government pump in the money to the bank, what did the bank do? Keep the money...The people in US is complaining that the bank lending is getting more rigid. What helps does the bank offer when they received the stimulus package? The answer is NOTHING!!

Mr. Obama and his team have to really think hard to reconstruct the world economy. The text book in the library won't help them. Those are outdated policies (monetary and fiscal policies). They should come out with a bold and daring move to help the economy.
