Jimmy was asking me to add more links into my blog so I wondered what I should include as I do not frequent much links that interest people. I came across our ex Prime Minister’s blog while reading www.malaysiakini.com one day. So I decided to visit his blog and I found many interesting facts to read and it is knowledgeable.

I am not a political person but I have been following politics since last year or so frequently. Since visiting his site, I have gained lots of knowledge and I agreed with some of his thoughts on certain things as I believed sometimes when you read the daily newspaper there are a lot of cover ups and certain wrong decisions made by wrong parties, which you have other better decisions in mind.

Dr. Mahathir is a good leader in my opinion, as most people would not agree with me. I believed that he has helped us during his years in service. No one is perfect and no one will be 100% clean. Does the recent government elected by the people guarantee us they will run a clean operation and help the people? I do not think so. So why put him as a hatred person.

The current world economy is in a messed. No one expected it collapse so suddenly and who would expect that Lehman Brothers will suddenly go bankruptcy after 100+ years in service. Nothing is permanent and no one can foresee such thing happening. Despite such breakdown, the US government is forking out trillions of dollars to save their economy which looks more like a bankrupt nation. Even with trillion of dollars stocked up as backup, they still have more to command the world’s economy, where does the money comes from? Despite all this, smaller countries are being threaten and maybe if some other stabilized countries make a move there will be a change of power, which I doubt so.

Back to our homeland, our country; Malaysia. The country is in a mess at the moment. Attacking the government for power and wealth (behind the scenes) has made the people suffer even more. Malaysians are keeping track of the activities but are unable to do anything but suffer while the politicians play their game. Even if we have a change in power, will they guarantee us, the people, that they will protect the people’s benefit and improve our quality of living? I doubt so they can do it overnight or even within a year as the things will require time and proper planning. Why not work with the government meanwhile and ease the people of their suffering?

Many of my friends even consider working for another country than Malaysia. This is due to our tiny currency and high cost of living. The people have commitments to fulfill and needs to survive but if everything is rising but the income is stagnant or going down, the people will not leave in peace and sooner or later more robberies tend to happen. I though of pegging the currency which Tun use it during the recession back in 90s but will our current government have such funds to do so. (I though of it before Tun made a statement on his blog ^-^) The funny thing is that when the US Dollars drops our Ringgit Malaysia followed. It should be the other way round, right? With our currency dropping, Singapore Dollar has increase a lot recently almost hitting 2.43 at certain days. Sooner, Malaysians will be taking their holidays at our own islands. How can we afford holidays at other nations when our currency is so little? Imagine visiting our neighbor Singapore, we already need to fork out 2.43 times for expenses. A simple meal of McDonalds at SGD 8 will cost almost RM20.00. What about other expenses when shopping and visiting?

I am not a politician and the information above is based on my personal opinion. I feel that we are in a dire need of improvement by the government as soon as possible and they should stop fighting against each other for power and help the people. As for friends of mine, visit Tun’s blog for knowledge. You may not like him but he do teaches you new stuffs and you will have a better in sight of what is happening in the world. Tun’s blog is http:chedet.com.
