A little freakish
There are speculation on that September 16th date. Now, 45 years ago, on that very date this country was named Malaysia. In 2008, the leader of the Opposition is saying that on this day the Government will change hands. Now, that’s not really much a problem, the thing is, its how the people are perceiving it.
I’ve read a bunch of articles regarding what people are holding on this very date. Personally, I believe that on that very date, IF, it happens, this country’s economy will go through a downfall. No kidding. If Anwar, can set everything right in 1 day, I’m pretty sure the economy will go into a stable motion, or it will boost up. Thing is, how likely is that going to happen considering some companies who are, well, lets say too dependant.
So what if the economy goes falling? Simple, the Indonesians take over. I’m not saying that this as in war terms, but more to indirect warfare. Expect more foreign labors to come from everywhere possible. The cheaper they can be, the better. So, is there a cure to bring it up back without having to resort to a take over from the masses? There is.
The Sendiri Boleh attitude as explained by Icapital.
Now, in Bolehland, the constant shouts of Malaysia Boleh, is just that. We can. Of course we can, but do we do? Nope. Well, majority of us that is. When I was growing, the Thomas Cup victory showed so many kids taking up badminton as their preferred sport. And that lasted for quite a while. Then, it faded and completely dried out. Why? because we didn’t win much anymore. We just tag along for the fun it brought.
Now, with Sendiri Boleh attitude, i think we can give into having a lot of ways to make us all more cheerful and more united. That and a more prosper economy. But with an attitude of money talks and money rules, it goes to show this is very tough. We have tax avoiders, we have conmen to name a few reasons. And just like other countries, of course they do have the same. The problem here is, the ratio of those people compared to the real people who do business and pay taxes, are too small of a gap compared to other developed places. besides, why choose to be legit when u can make money much faster by being illegal?
To have a stable economy, you’d need a stable country in political terms. When it tumbles, all of us do tumble too. Obviously if the Opposition screws up, the current Government will come back, but what happens after that is for you to ponder. What I’m hoping for is everyone do something. Sendiri Boleh, when you know you Boleh. Don’t ask for Malaysia Boleh, let them bolehkan themselves. Sendiri Boleh? Then make it Boleh.
Much Love, Azlil.Ash
