Exactly 25 years ago, Malaysia had a rapidly falling ringgit with Anwar as MoF. We ended up in unparalleled recession, only arrested by capital controls.
In 2023, there's a falling ringgit, a moribundly flailing economy and a scarcity of foreign investment.
And Anwar as MoF.
@terpalingcyber
EPF better. They operate as an investment entity, unlike BNM which operates as a central bank.
While cybersecurity concerns are the same, the business knowledge acquired is much more applicable widely from EPF.
Think wall street investment banks or hedge funds.
When Anwar said a falling ringgit was a sign of loss of confidence in the government's policies and capability to steer the economy, USDMYR was RM4.35.
It's fallen by an additional 10.3% since then, and now he's PMX and leading gov.
Is it still a stamp of a lack of confidence?
"Tinjauan di tiga pasar raya di sekitar Cheras dan Kajang, hari ini, mendapati tiada langsung beras putih tempatan dijual."
Ten months after the Anwar gov established a Food Security Ministry, we've run out of locally grown rice.
Ain't that wonderful ?
"Tiada urustadbir, tiada integriti" were Anthony Loke's accusations against Zahid's involvement in the LCS project in August 2022.
Who'd have thought that barely 3 months later he'd be collaborating with Zahid just to be in power, with all the accusations against the LCS silent.
The five-ship LCS now cost RM11.2 billion, delivery of first ship Maharaja Lela in August 2026, fifth ship April 2029, original cost RM9.1 billion, first ship 2019, sixth ship 2023/24....all is well...HT DM

In earlier negotiations, he wasn't asking for a simple refund. He was also asking for further compensation beyond that. That went a bit too far, even though the organizers clearly borked up the seating.

For over a thousand years after his spacecraft crashed into earth, Megatron hid in a cave in the motherland and cloned many copies of himself.
The current PMX has tried many times to unseat many previous PMs with his "i have the numbers" narrative.
Even at GE15 he didn't have the numbers, forcing him up cozy up to UMNO.
Your desperation is showing.
Your desperation in wanting to unseat PMX is so obvious you keep shooting yourself in the foot until you have become a laughing stock. If you want to continue in the next battle go ahead.
Me and my friends will make sure your allies lose deposit next round. There goes your legacy
Six months ago it was all about ubah and UMNO is corrupt and penyamun.
Today, it's all systems go for undi UMNO.
Can a larger hypocritical party and fanbase be found anywhere ?
The last time USDMYR sunk to RM4.73 was in 1998 when Anwar was Finance Minister.
PMX, consistently surpassing his own achievements in mediocrity.
A flailing economy, sinking currency, rising mortgage rates, dwindling jobs and stagnant wages.
Get used to it under Madani.
The Malaysian ringgit weakened further against the US dollar. One dollar is now worth more than 4.7300 ringgit, its highest since early November 2023.
The local unit weakened more than 3% against the greenback since the start of 2024.

Bummer.
Anwar has appointed a DAP minister, who appointed a senior aide who's been arrested for corruption.
All in the space of six months since taking power. His talk holds no water.
@syahredzan
It's simple, Syah.
Do you accept Zahid who faces 40+ prima facie corruption charges in court as your DPM or don't you ? Did the DAP call Zahid and UMNO racist, corrupt and kleptokrats before ?

She's still my alternate director in a number of ventures and one of the few I trust implicitly.
There's a clear presumption, an inherent bias if you will, that all meleis are corrupt. Usually perpetuated by the chauvinist types who worship the rocket.
I could tell you stories about the number of times non-Malays have participated in corruption from personal experience.
Ah the anti-Malay segment of Mkini.
Today, it's the presumption that Malay gov't officials are necessarily corrupt.
Nvm that the officer explained that she didn't fulfil two requirements & Tiong has no power to revoke her entry denial, which makes it power abuse.
For a quarter of a century Anwar has been touting himself as the saviour of the nation, he's had all the time in the world to think about what to do.
Time to come to terms and recognize that he's only all talk without any notion how to fix what really ails the nation.

No one forced them to be greedy for power. They could have sat out and become the opposition after losing 18 seats from 2018 results.

You're not interpreting it correctly. That section covers open and concealed carry, which means the firearm is on the person.

If these were PH MPs, they would be yelling bloody murder and demanding everything from the Anti-Hopping Law and a public lynching be thrown at these four miscreants.

Don't forget FDI, now. That's dropped drastically whether it's QoQ or YoY comparisons.
And is a bigger burn because it's a leading indicator for jobs and GDP in the future reporting period.
Anwar and PH just doesn't engender confidence.
On a related note, why is Guan Eng contesting Penang DUN, despite already being an MP and facing corruption charges in court ?
Surely there's young talent within the state DAP after ruling the Penang for 15 years.
Or just maybe, it is dynastic after all.
Noticed quite a few candidates in this 6 State elections who are also existing MPs.Don’t think a good idea as not fair to the voters as they will have 1 rep instead of 2 (if they are voted in) and also go against the concept of separation of powers!

Civil society has lost its voice, innit ?
Someone's really desperate to get the kids indoctrinated, isn't he ?
All these initiatives achieve, however, is illuminate this government's need to deify and create idols out of its leaders.
It's a sure sign that DAP is a spayed lapdog of PKR and UMNO when Zahid starts making statements about what DAP's views are.

When Anwar's lawyer who defended him speaks out, you know that PH and its fanbase are no different from those they claim to oppose.
They were always despots, only the ignorant believed in their maskirovka.
And they now reap the reward after elevating them to oppress anyone.
I was charged twice under d Sedition Act during d BN regime over statements I made defending Anwar Ibrahim over his sodomy case. Now under a new Govt led by Anwar, a political rival faces sedition charges. D ideals once fought 4 r forgotten. PH once fought this law, now wields it
Anwar hypes up meeting the Dutch PM who then goes to Vietnam and announces that Dutch companies want to manufacture electronics and chips there instead of Penang.
What a farce by PMX.
This is exactly how the liberals react when you bring up racism by the Chinese against others (including Malays) in Malaysia.
They develop sudden amnesia and sweep it under the carpet because it disputes their worldview that only the Malays are racist.
Wasn't DAP the first to show the Way of the Baruah by labelling UMNO as corrupt for decades, only to turn around and huggy kissy them just to be in government?
It's just the new normal.
DAP leaders welcome him, support him, defend him in court - he accuses them of being Zahid’s lapdogs.

And suddenly you are perplezed why your gov gets Najib an early release?
If she was called to give an answer at 11.30 or even earlier at 11.00 she still wouldn't have an answer, because none was prepared. She just wasn't ready.
This is a weak excuse, a pithy reason to cover for the deputy minister's tardiness and incompetence.
That's another way of saying that there just isn't enough higher skilled or more sophisticated jobs in Malaysia, leading to lower wages being offered across the board.
Where have the jobs gone? To Indonesia and Vietnam.
