I simply cannot begin to comprehend the new Finance Minister's take of the economy. Guess I really must be intellectually challenged...
Afterall, spending RM 2.3 billion on helicopters and RM 5 billion of our private savings in buying cheap stocks should make sense - so I am told. But stupid me keeps harping on the fact that treating the inflationary factors make more sense. Somehow I keep dwelling on the higher costs of living as if it has anything to do with the economy. And I guess I should screw public confidence because it's really the few thousand or so delegates that carry the country on their able shoulders.
Malaysia, it is said, is shielded from the effects of the US credit issues and will be able to deal with the global slowdown with minimal damaged. Somehow my negative mind tells me that Malaysia is part of a global trading hub of nations... stupid me. You see - I am told that at the end of the day, we are so self-reliant that our people are able to absorb the reduced international demands for air-conditioners, microchips and processed food with ease.
Gosh! I feel so inadequate, it is embarrassing to even blog about it...
