Monkey Business.

Malaysian Members of the Parliament (MP) are a disgrace to the country! That is all I have to say after watching how those MPs behaving like a bunch of idiots. It is a wasted effort by Malaysians having to queue up to elect them during General Election only to see them acting like MONKEYS in the Parliament. I know it is normal for MPs to shout at each other over certain issues, but it is OK if they are shouting at each other fighting for the cause of people who voted for them. Malaysians voted for you because they want you to represent their voice in the Parliament. In the end, will the shouting benefits the people? NO, because the real issue that was debated at first was dropped at the end of the shouting as if it was a meaningless issue. It is not a surprise to see why it took the Parliament a very long time to pass a bill only to realize later that the bill has lots of overlooked loopholes. Then, the people will protest the new bill and they will have to bring it back to the Parliam...

A New Start?

I recently read a blog of someone who I had just met a w eek ago. This person is just like any ordinary person - or so I thought. It turned out that there's more to this person. When I had a conversation with him, I noticed that he has a very refreshing way of looking at things. It's not that the way he thinks is totally out of the box but, it was just plain refreshing. I'm further impressed by his manners and attitude in life. And then when I read his blog, it inspires me to revive this blog. I guess I've forgotten what blogging was all about. Blogging is all about writing on whatever that ticks you. It does not have to be long, but just enough to highlight what you believe in. So I hope that this will be the new beginning of this blog. And to this person, thank you for inspiring me to do something that I have long left behind.

Economy Game Anyone?

Today, I was given a chance to manage the Australian economy. Well, not really but it is for real. Haha. OK, let me explain, in my economics tutorial today we have to play this simulation of the Australian economy. To start with, we (My partner, Martha and I) are given data on the 1987 Australian economy. And in this simulation, we only have the power to manage four variables namely, government spending, income tax, sales tax and money supply. We were given 10 years to manage the economy. It turns out that managing an economy is a LOT harder in practical because my knowledge in theory is not helpful at all. OK, in macroeconomics, we always have to aim for a couple of goals which are low unemployment and inflation, favourable balance of payment, positive economic growth and favourable exchange rates. But, in this simulation we have to aim for low unemployment, inflation and interest rate. In 1987, the unemployment level was 6.3%, rate of inflation was 8.0% and interest rate was at 8.5%....
