Najib says the Malaysian economy is out of the woods and we are poised to do better this year. From what you see around you, do you agree?
A bunch of bananas in Penang is now RM1 more expensive, char koay teow and roti canai servings have shrunk, and many workers have lost out on increments over the last couple of years. Stress levels have soared as workers have to work longer hours to cover for those retrenched and not replaced. And now we have the spectre of GST looming over us.
The GDP figures did not do as badly as anticipated last year because of the pump priming and fiscal stimulus packages.
Over 113,000 projects worth RM17 billion under two stimulus packages are being pushed through. So far, the government has paid out RM14 billion of public funds for these projects.
But can such pump priming be sustained?
What about confidence in the political leadership?
What do you think?
Is the worst over for the Malaysian economy?

Well, 14 billion out of 17 billion paid out. I wonder how Q1 result will turn out. They kept quiet when the quarterly report is negative and try to spin it dry.

Najib is talking through his nose. He has no financial expertise neither he has really qualified wizards of economists to support his statement. The whole team of so called financial experts are a laughing stock of the nation. The GDP is the lowest in the region and that itself is a reflection of how good the economy is faring compared to our neighbours. Ask the layman in the street how he feels about the Malaysia, he will probably spit in your face.

It is meaningless to generalize Malaysia economy as good or bad. Generally we are heading to positive direction, so our PM opinion was correct.
Greatest joke of the day man!

If you thought you can cut cost by ordering plain water/air suam/chinese tea at some coffee shops then you are wrong.
Generally it cost you around 40cents in Klang town,it used to be free !!
Next time around you may have to pay for the air that you breath in Bolih Land.

With the legalised robbery going on and on never endingly how can the worst be over?
With the worst types of leaders running amok over us by abusing all the rules of law the worst is yet to come I think. Sigh!! If only I had migrated when I was younger.
