Life

Pace of life in a small city is relatively slow as compared to the larger ones. On the bright side you always appear relaxed and calm.But the downside is comfort zone which keeps your progress in life or maybe career at the lowest gear. Not good at all for a young graduate like myself. I can only wish for some changes in something for the better.Life is stagnant at the moment.

Week in a glance

1. So much noise about signboard in many languages in Penang and Bumi's NEP equity. This whole stuffs reminded me of Prof Khoo Kay Kim press statement, "Kita harus memujuk bukan menuntut.Menuntut mungkin tak dapat tetapi memujuk lambat laun akan dapat juga".

2. Newsweek on Sarah Palin, "She beat Biden by not imploding.But governing requires knowledge, not mindless populism". Spot on. Something we have to ponder upon in choosing our leaders for the next election in Malaysia.Popularity alone does not prove a person's competency.

3. Minyak turun 15 sen!Thank you.

4. Great recession is looming ahead. Global share prices sharp fall is perceived as the epitome of 1929 Great Depression. Nevertheless politic arena seemed to take the center stage in Malaysia when global economy situation almost caused Iceland goes bankrupt. For the record, Iceland is the 4th most productive country with GDP around 50000 USD. That is the fact of Malaysia, her people more interested in loitering at 'kedai kopi' hoping to solve 'national issues'.What a productive way of living.Then they will get angry when somebody questioned their '30%'


5. Reminder to all overstayed Malaysians in UK to comeback before you are black listed or worse to be deported.New UK VISA regulations are to be enforced starting next year. My student visa expired yesterday but i am home since August. I would love to go back to UK probably to do Master's. We'll see.


6. Have a nice week ahead!
