We are in the mode of changing. Sure need to suffer a bit. The main thing now is to minimize the subsidies. Else, talk what also no use. But most of our rakyats' bad habit, that, like to focus on hot spot in stead of widely open their point of view, had form a great resistance to the gov to get the whole thing done properly. Not to forget that the races thing also a big burden. Not easy to convince people with a real fact, when 9.999999 out of a million cannot control their emotion. When I to convince people that, let the NEP help the poor one, we have hands and legs and we still can find our route out even though with a longer road. But normally end up with surrounded by a group and being fired. They only can see the instant benefit but never want to know about the long term side effect. But end of the day, if the gov give them some benefit, then everyone will happy and stop arguing.
But I dare to tell you, regardless how bad they pay you now, don't worry, they will increase your salary. Because, end of the day, high spending power will make the businessmen earn more but if the other way round, they will eventually need to end their business. It will balance up automatically. Just need time for it. Of cause, there is a faster way, if the country suddently have 30 million job opportunities from all sectors.
For the younger generations, don't blame the gov because they can't get you a RM10k job. Wanna blame, blame yourselves for not being smart enough to earn that with your own hands.
