selamat hari SABAH MASUK MALAYSIA.. XD .. punya bidak..

why?

1. When we changed from one colonial master to another colonial master.

2. Unfair development in political, social and economic sector for many years.

3. Mass exploitation in the natural source such as oil and timber income.

4. Unhonored autonomy right by the country and states leadership.

5. Still look like idiot even after we save their asses from the opposition party.

Enough said.

Loose Change 9/11: Final Cut

I am not certain with all the allegation in the movie is fact or false, but one that was clear in my mind is the government will never tell the whole truth. The government will do whatever they could to manipulate and exploit the people's mind for their own benefits and to maintain power as long as they can. No matter what happen, the truth will dig itself out sooner or later and the people will not be fooled again.

Malaysia also has its own controversial incident from the death of Sabah's first Chief Minister Tun Fuad Donald Stephen, the sex allegation of Anwar Ibrahim, the Najib's linked mongolia homicide to Teoh Beng Hock sudden suicide at MACC building.

At the moment, the internet technology are able to let the people see the truth where it is impossible for a big government or an institution to hide and cover up the truth. People are getting smart and wiser looking at one incident and not easily accept the mainstream explanation. Curiosity to know more about things and events gives us a fighting chance to people who conspired to manipulate and exploit the mass for their own and group interest.

Even the movie doesn't convince me much about the 9/11 conspiracy, i believe the truth is still hidden. It ironic to think of the people elected government could do such tyranny to its own people to reach a goal that eventually effect many people around the world. I believe every government has its own secret and conspiracy. I just hope they will not sacrifice the masses to achieve their political goal.

RM800 is not too much for maid.

He said..

It is unfair to propose that foreign maids to be paid RM800 when some government servants are only getting RM600 as their starting monthly salary, Cuepacs president Omar Osman said.

It’s just not fair. Some locals working in the private sector do not even receive RM800. How can we accept foreign maids receiving RM800 as a starting salary?

RM800 is not too much for maid. Why?

1. They work longer time than the government servant. Government servant in office spent more time doing nothing than actual work.

2. Government servant to social benefits such as retirement fund, medical, bonuses, loan, housing and others assistance where maid benefits is depend to their employer agreement and pity toward his/her employee.

3. Maid work is labor and time intensive therefore that why most women choose to work in air condition office today. Government employers work in air condition office, no motivation towards improving work quality even attending so many workshops and motivational seminars.

4. Maid has no long term work guarantee because their services is at the employer discretion and no stable and permanent increment basis. Once you're a government servant you will get a permanent salary upgrade and bonuses until retirement.

I admit not the entire government servant is lazy and does less work, but the general perspective see the government job is an easy way to earn a living with social and job security without having to bleed out the sweat and standing under the sun and rain.

Petrol Price hike and Product Price Hike

I was in a coffee shop having a drink with my relatives and my uncle was telling me that the drink price is on hike again due to the hike of petrol price again.

I remembered that we had a petrol price hike up to RM2.70 per liter and it created a domino effect on the entire consumer price in the market. I understand those price hike because the manufacture want to cover the transportation cost of the material even thou i believe the rate of hike not making sense.

When the petrol price dropped down to previous RM1.80 per liter, I don’t see any price drop in any consumer product or the drink in the coffee shop. They keep silence and the consumer didn't demand for the drop price of consumer product.

Now, with price 20 cents hike on the RON97 petrol to RM2.00 something due to the introduction of RON95 to RM1.80 something, i see a relevant and obvious rate of hike drinks price on the coffee shop but not on the consumer product. I wonder if this price hike is justified and caused by the hike on the petrol price.

I don't see any justification of price change on the drinks and selling items in the coffee shop or any consumer product. It is quite ridiculous to see the petrol hike with consumer product price hike but not vice versa. I believe many business owner earn more that they deserved and keep quiet about it.

I see a greedy act by the coffee shop owner in my town and with the amount of salary still the same, we will see the buying power is getting lower and the business owner is getting richer by exploiting the recent fuel hike.

I am not a expert in market and economics but it don't need an expert to see this problem and i wonder why the consumer society have nothing to say about it. I voiced my concern and what do you think?
