Disgusted!

I just found out after reading Malaysian Insider tonight that our country's economy contracted about 7% for the first counter of 2009. It is inevitable that Malaysia will go into recession wrote Malaysia Insider tonight. Bloody hell! If my memory serves me right, I remember hearing 2 top post minister from our government claiming that Malaysia will be protected from the economy downturn. Even our Bank Negara claims that we will not have any problems because Malaysia is "fundamentally sound/strong". During that same time our government keep putting out wrong signals to the people when countries all around the world are telling their people that their country's economy is failing and everyone must be prepared to face the downturn. Even our neighbors Singapore already forecast negative growth since end of last year but our very "capable" PM and DPM keep telling the people not to worry as Malaysia is shielded from this downturn.
Then why now the sudden change of tone! Malaysians that are more aware of the impact already know the government is not being truthful, but I like to think that it is not that they are not being truthful, they bloody do not know what is going on in the first place!
I for one already felt the pinch 3rd quarter of last year when the Raya festive season sales was really damped. I'am in the supply chain industry where every year during the Raya and other festive seasons, we will be running crazy to meet date lines and making sure all goods reach our clients on time but not last year, the hypers, retail stores etc etc were not ordering as sales were very slow. For those who were more daring and started to stock up early, well they got burned because consumers are not buying like they used too and therefore many suppliers who is in the same industry like me got burned because all their money got tied up and the goods are not selling.
Don't the government understand that the more they lie to us, the more disgusted the people will be at them. We are not living in the dark ages anymore and most of us have our ways to find information's and to think for ourselves. Once we know the truth how can the government expect the people to still accept them with open arms? There is not even an apology or statement that they have made a blunder in the forecast and they now have plans drawn up to cushion the downturn. Not even a little sign of admission from the government. I am totally disgusted with their lies, incompetence and "tidak apa" attitude!

Celebration in Perak

UPDATED 12/05/09 : In less than 24 hours, all hopes of ending the Perak crisis came to an end when Zambry got the Court of Appeal for a stay order. What was really the fascinating part about this appeal is the court worked really fast for this particular appeal. Zambry and goons only submitted the appeal in the morning and by 2.30pm, it is heard and approved. How bloody efficient! Anyway, all eyes are on the Sultan of Perak now to undo what was wrong from the beginning. This action by Zambry is good too as I am VERY sure, this will agitate the people of Perak even more.
Finally, there is one brave and good judge that dare to stand up against the might of UMNO to defend what is left of our constitution after last Friday's fiasco at the Perak Assembly Hall. Justice Abdul Aziz Abd Rahim ruled that YB Nizar is the legal MB and Zambry and the 6 BN exco members must vacate their post with immediate effect. Hurraahhhhhh! The judge also ordered for fresh state election to be held so that all this issues can be resolved once and for all.
Hmmm, it makes me wonder how Zambry and his goons feel like now.........to put it bluntly like an ass loh! After making so much hoo haa last Friday, claiming to have uphold democracy, claiming PR exco members to be uncivilized and ya-da-ya-da......even went as far as appointing their own Speaker some more. I guess the biggest ASS now is Ganesan who stupidly went along with the Jelapang "frog".......GOD SPEED!
On a lighter moment, I just read the Jelapang "frog" now have another twist to her pepper spray incident. Yesterday she claims that she was not holding a pepper spray but a key chain. Today she claims that it was not her pepper spray but someone threw the can at her, can you believe her nerve? Anyway, I have this link here if you want to see and decide for yourself if it's a key chain or pepper spray.
Anyway, now that there is at least some light at the end of the tunnel to this entire ordeal, YB Nizar and Speaker S Sivakumar should first start by sacking all those that played a role in this crissis, now that they know who are those that helped UMNO in this coup d'tat. Actually come to think of it, how much money is wasted by PM Najib and UMNO to wrestle this power grab in February. I guess now the Jelapang "frog" and the 2 other PKR "frog" must be shitting bricks now as they are no longer "needed" by UMNO-BN and definitely PR will not take them back anymore, basically end of their political career but hey, if they were really smart , they would have "pocketed" millions for the frog dance and should be enough for them to grow old with.
Today is a good day for all Perakians! A good day for me too! Bad day for PM, Zambry, Hee and the other 2 "frogs" whom I can't remember their names. This picture(right) should stand as testament on how to make an ass of yourself. Let's just see what this group will do next now as I am pretty sure they will not lay low and it might just start to get really ugly unless the Sultan of Perak come clean and make right once and for all. Desolved the State Assembly!
