Good Results, By Hook or By Crook?

Some of my Chinese friends said this to me "Why be so good, just bring notes into tests and exams. In the end, nobody going to know how you got good grades but your performance shows you are good!"



What do you readers think?

It is a question of ethical, moral and professionalism because these people are future engineers by the way.

Economic Crisis, Never Ending...?

"Economic crisis" These are the same words that many hears today. Greece, Portugal, Italy and now Spain- Europe's 3rd largest economy.

When will this end? No idea but they have lots to do. Let me give you some figures. Labor productivity in Spain (real output per worker) only went up 15% between 1990 to 2010- quoted from Fortune 500. However, the costs per worker went up 120%.

Spanish wine exports were focused more on volume rather than value. This is a sector where could assist in the recovery of their economy if properly utilized.

I have seen posters of Chief Minister and MPs being printed for coming general election in Malaysia. Would Najib push until 2013? I doubt, most likely he will wait for Pakatan to commit a mistake and after the budget, he might possibly dissolve the parliament.

Again, just a prediction, let us see.

再见 (Goodbye) for now.

Najib Isn't Changing M'sia Much...

Dear readers,

The general election can be called upon anytime by the Premier which must be done prior to March 2013. With obvious signs of the current government weakening due to many reasons:

1. Severe corruption
2. Najib's problems like the accusation of the Mongolian model and overpriced submarine purchases
3. BN's control on media, papers and some said the election committee which I find that it easy to believe.

A year ago, I think the opposition is weakening but it still managed to hold itself well- haven't self-destruct. Personally, I believe that opposition, PKR in particular should field better candidates for the next general election so that, if they win, they would not jump over.

However, the most important question is, IF PR coalition wins, which I still doubt, would BN give way peacefully?

Many have suggested that documents will be destroyed, they will try to hold on or even cause havoc, and etc. Racial tension... Hmm... I don't think so but there would be a lot of street demos... Possibly that would be bad for businesses.

But again, with the current election commission, it would not be easy for the opposition.

Spain In Red For How Long?

Following Greece are countries like Portugal and Spain. With being assisted by European Central Bank (ECB), money has been injected easily into the country. The question is, will they manage to make their country balance back in the green?

Unemployment in Spain increasing, economy contracting. Would they manage to reduce its deficit target this year to 5.3% and next to 3%?


Would Asia gain the power in the near future to control the economy especially commodities? :p Being an Asian, we might! :P

2012

~ Betch

The politician speaks the truth. I've been busy with many things. And also, when I did find time for myself, I thought of blogging but I had no inspiration. I didn't know what to write about. 

Well anyways, moving on... 2012 sure is something, don't you think? I mean, at least it is for me... I'm halfway through my junior year in college, working part-time for this online-shopping website, driving in KL, and donating blood for the first time. Quite an eventful start, I would say. I sure hope the end of the world isn't this year.

And we won't know until it happens.

One should not dread the unexpected, but receive it and be at peace with a matter that's out of his control. Worrying can lead one to do the least of everything, which is nothing. 

It's three in the morning, I shall be off to bed. I promise to return with new happenings to blog about!

God bless!

Credit Ain't Working, Euro + America

Greece has just been bailed out... again, in order to safeguard the Euro currency and of course saving Greece's ass. What about America? Will it engage into war or countries compromising because it is AMERICA? I find it interesting to be alive at this current moment with the dynamic fluctuations of economies. Any later, the world would be too polluted to live in. If I was born earlier, the world would be too slow and I would be using rocks to communicate.



Anyway, since all my partners in blog are superbly busy, including me of course. All posts will be kept short and straight to the point!

Adios for now~
