Eco-NO-money

The big news that has been on everyone's lips lately is about the current or expected Economy crisis and depression. Tetiba aje, every tom, dick and harry in and around town dah jadi 'Pakar Ekonomi', 'Menteri Kewangan' and even a 'Financial Controller'.....words like 'Credit Crunch', 'US Dollars' 'Harga Barang Naik' terngiang-ngiang di sana sini.....sekarang ni most companies dah mula putting in strategies for cost reductions, budgetting, and even freezing employments....semua utk mempersiapkan diri dan keluarga mereka bagi mengharungi krisis ekonomi yg dijangka akan melanda sekitar 1st quarter next year....



For me, I have lived through one recession so far, but that was in 1997, at a time where I had no care about all this economic issues, as then I had a constant income through 'FAMA' sponsorships (FAther- MAma) and was busy studying...kononnya,laaa



But now I am very much intrigued with the whole issue, as I have been earning plus nak kena suap makan anak bini, bayar rumah, petrol...etc....



It doesn't help also when just recently ada news keluar pasal almost 11,000 workers in Macau may be retrenched due the close down of many Casinos and hotels over there....being a hotelier myself, this is a SCARY thing to hear....as sebelum ni, Macau was like having a MAJOR boom where hotels business was mushrooming and most jobs offered in Macau came with quite attractive packages etc...and ramai memember from various hotels in KL yg dah merantau cari makan di sana.....hopefully they are ok....



Anyway, I was very happy to hear harga minyak dah turun and also ura-ura harga barang2 kat hypermarket nak diturunkan....hopefully all will be well on our side, in lovely Malaisie....

xkan turun punya bro..

la ni kene pikir element untuk kos.. it is utility (api, air, internet etc) + tol + minyak + interest rate. drg kene turunkan balik smua elemen ni baru harga barang boleh diturunkan..

La ni byk kilang sorok barang, sbbnya masa drg buat brg tu, minyak xturun lagi, la ni nak jual pon depa akan rugi sbb kos masa buat mahal. La ni depa sorokkan barang supaya permintaan melebihi pemasaran.. baru harga akan naik balik..

hai .. letih nak bercerita pasal ekonomi ni..

anyway, teruskan berblog bro..
