Glorious Food & Najib's NEM

( Tang Hoon Soup with meat balls, stuffed tauhu, minced meat & vegetables. It costs RM3.50 a bowl)


( Sold at Sunny Hill Ice Cream parlor @ 3rd Mile costs RM2.50 for a bowl)

I sometimes wonder if I can afford all these delicacies when the purchasing power is so weak like now? These days, what can you buy with your RM10?

My Perodua Kancil 660 needs RM18 a day & our Nissan Frontier needs at least RM25 a day as we travel the length and breadth of Kuching in search of past customers and new clients?

The NEP (New Economic Policy) formulated many, many years ago ( around 20 years or more) didn't help at all though I'm a Bumiputra.
(It means "sons of the soil" folks.)

Some bankers say "our nature of business is categorised as high risk" but can any readers in here tell us which nature of business that has No Risk?

All businesses have risks. And all business people are risk-takers.

Even if you're given a Government contract on a silver platter, there are still risks involved.

I just pray Prime Minister Najib knows what he is trying to accomplish if that can help the 1Malaysia's cause and not contradicting Perkasa's stand. ( Folks, you have to refer and read our local newspapers to learn more about this story behind Perkasa's statement & stand)

The NEM (New Economic Model) has just been introduced (barely a day when this is written) and we have yet to see how the people are judging it.

Personally, I hope this Policy won't create more "zombies" or rather "ali babas" or more cronyism, perhaps?

I was reminded by a friend, Dr. Dusit who says "this NEM should be good for MFSB" and I truly hope he is right!

"Cari makai" is never an easy task for all of us. We sometimes shed tears but still life goes on and it's fair we have a tiny fraction of the shares as we are also law-abiding & tax-paying citizens.

Cheerio, folks.


(4th Mile "char kueh" or fried carrot cake costs RM3.80 for a slightly larger plate)
