I am not Stupid!

I think this title is quite suitable for all Malaysians. Every watched the movie? It was done by Singapore highlighting their interesting "kiasu" society.

How is this applied to us here? Well for starters, we are being hoodwinked by the recent ISA arrest. While everyone is focusing on the ISA arrest, we have forgotten the fundamental problems that is already at our doorstep.

With all the hoo har on the ISA being used, have we forgotten that the KLSE is dropping like a dead weight into the sea? On January the KLSE was around 1400 and even peaked to 1500. After 9 months only, it dropped from 1500 to barely more than 1000. A huge 30%+ drop.

People may say, it is the market. Everything is not doing well right now so that is normal. Yes. This is "normal" but why can't we be abnormal? Why can't the KLSE stand up against the market and be strong despite everything that is going on? A drop if 10-15% would definitely be better than 30%+.

A lot of investors are pulling out and our dear government is still in denial saying that Malaysia is still strong economically. What a load of cow dung! If Malaysia is doing well and have a future potential, why are investors pulling out? Bank Negara's statistic for August 15-29 stated that USD 1.1 Billion funds was pulled out of Malaysia. Tell me if this shows Malaysia to be an attractive investment destination.

Oh yes, someone forgot to lower the price of petrol as well. While the price of oil per barrel is going down, the price we pay at the pump is still the same. The goverment is busy making money right under our noses now that the price of oil per barrel is around USD 108-110. You can follow the calculations from my previous blogs.

And there is the "Send them to Taiwan for Holiday" project to prevent Anwar's September 16 takeover. Maybe they even asked a bomoh to make sure that there is a huricane going through Taiwan right now just to make sure that they cannot leave Taiwan too soon.

And the "Sodomy Act 2" that is really being silly. Who in the right mind would believe it? I really don't know who is the target audience.

For those detained under ISA, you have my sympathies. I really do not understand what kind of national threat you are. You're neither armed terrorist or even a terrorist mastermind. Does any of the guys arrested under ISA have link to underground arms or planning to sieze the government by blowing things to kindom come? I doubt so.

The government must not think that everyone are as stupid as they are.

I am not stupid!

We are not stupid!
