Shrinking Ringgit
Weather: Sunny
Temperature: 40 c (someone kill me please...)
I received a call from my good friend Lai Kuan, who is a practicing lawyer somewhere in the KL vicinity. She called on other matters, but I grabbed the opportunity to find out from her the conditions in KL. I was sad to learn that a glass of Milo is now sold at RM1.80 to RM2.00. She advised me not to drink Milo in mamak stores. “Drink Milo at home…” said Lai Kuan.
It is definitely not a good time to stay in Malaysia now. Previously I needed only RM3 to 5 to have a good time in a mamak store. Now, I could only order roti kosong and milo kosong (forget about the funny rotis like roti pisang, roti sardine, roti KLCC, roti milo, roti Cheese etc).
Today's paper tells another bad news: CPI for June surges to 7.7%
I have little confidence in the figures and statistics published by the authorities. But 7.7% (which is is slightly more than double the May CPI of 3.8%) tells us the seriousness of the matter. It is a wake up call.
It looks like my retirement plan has to be postponed for another couple of years. I need to work longer and save more money to buy more teh tarik after my retirement.
If someone has clearly proven that he does not know how to manage the economy, can we have someone who at least claims that he does?
Can we not focus on whose butt was sodomized but how to strengthen the economy instead? By the way, if you do not already know, please be informed that oral sex will also, theoretically, land you in jail. So, the moral of the story, next time you want to be naughty, please do not stray but go "straight to the point" and finish the job.
If you are asked to choose between a sodomite who gives you cakes everyday and a normal (but incompetent) man who gives you shits everyday, what would be your choice?

We will be back for holiday in September, by that time, we will be able to experience how bad the economy is. We thought that we can have "lots of fun" in spending, but now, the petrol price makes us think twice to travel to PJ/KL.
If Australians have to think twice before taking a trip to PJ/KL for shopping, how about Malaysians working in KL? We have to go throught the same nightmare everyday.
