Not expecting anything spectacular

Tomorrow PM DS Najib Razak will table Budget 2016 in parliament.

Some speculated that there will be a boycott by several BN members of parliament to sabotage it.

It was said that together with the opposition MPs, they will try to scuttle the budget thus forcing the collapse of the government and the ouster of Najib.

I strongly doubt it will happen.

The same with the no confidence motion.

It's just a lot of hot air.

I don't think they really have the balls for it.

I believe it will be a mundane affair.

Even the budget itself will be boring, I think.

Seriously, Najib doesn't have that many cards to play around with this time as the economy is relatively not in a very good shape.

Things are currently tough not only just in Malaysia, okay.

I think Najib will have to make the budget plain and simple with the primary aim of not making things tougher for the rakyat.

Here is a report on how it will most likely going to be,

Budget 2016 likely to address Malaysians’ needs, yet realistic

If you go to that link and read the report, you will probably agree with me.

I don't think the budget is going to be sexy at all.

But it's okay. I'm not expecting much of it anyway.

Just going to take it one at a time.

Hopefully, it's not going to be as bad as it seems going to be.

Personally, as long as I still have my job, can pay the rent and bills, buy food, have a bit of entertainment  and save a little, I think I'll be alright.

Well, my mind is mostly elsewhere today.

Don't want to waste too much of its bandwidth on things I can't do anything about such as the budget.

Somehow, I was mostly dreaming of the time I was in Tokyo today.

Akihabara...I wish I can visit it again someday.


I like the place and someone told me something this morning which reminded me of it.

It's however too boring for me to write here.

Maybe some other time.

Okay, that's all for tonight. I need to sleep early.

Ciao.

  1. The finance minister is only capable of delivering boring budgets: becos he already pocketed half the treasury but keeps pressing kangkung and cheap chicken upon us to upkeep his 6% GST over us.

    1. Objection to the words "pressing kangkung and cheap chicken upon us", please.

      Kangkung is even better than spinach and one other veggy that's berlendir that the Chinese plant and call them high class. Heck, the Chinese also plant kangkong and eat it in taufu dishes, kangkong belacan etc. Only bloody DAP Red Beans call kangkong a cheap veggy, associate it with Malays and propaganda-ed it heavily at PRU13. That's one reason why the Red Beans and DAP fellows are called Cina Bukit.

      Now that Lim Kit Siang has been thrown out of Parliament for 6 months, no Budget debate for him, people should watch him if he often goes to Chinese restaurants ordering "huan yuer" steam fish and kangkong belacan. Best prepared by the Chinese restaurant at the Lake Club, KL.

    1. This cheeky girl Annie always wants to taunt and tantalize us by putting out photo shots that make us imagine it's her. Looking like her, like her sister or her niece, (we don't even know Annie's age, do we?) with guitar playing bass etc.

      One of these days she'd mistakenly post her own photo here, then we'll hound her - in KL, in KB, Kuantan wherever, hehe

  3. Yes, it'll be a boring Budget. Yesterday Najib even bought himself very expensive air time at CNN and Al Jazeera to advertise it, Didn't see it on BBC. Don 't understand why he did it. It must have cost the Government a fortune doing it. Wish it'll cost him his fortune of holding the PM post.

    Is the Budget that bad that he must explain it to international audience? Or is it his image that bad that he is trying to salvage it by advertising. Don't know what he said - switched channels soon after his face appeared on the screen.

  4. Najib advertised himself in international TV channels possibly because he wants to show that, despite many economies of the world are not doing that well, he wants to claim that the Malaysian economy is doing well.

    Well, let's wait until the Budget proper unfolds, now that the ultra kiasu ungrateful ingrate DAP Cina Bukit Lim Kit Siang has been thrown out of Parliament for 6 months - wish it was for 6 years, until death do us part, because he'd like dead by then.

    Anyone here wants to defend Kit Siang - even Najib - please do so and we can have an active discussion like Annie's blog always has been having.

    1. Defend Kit Siang I never will. Shit him I like to do. The biadap Cina Bukit character always shows in him. The Budget discussion will be shorter by a few hours without him jumping up and down like a mo.key.

    2. Hope he does not go to Sabah where the mainland Chinese tourists go nude by the beautiful, serene, clear waters of the beach. And pollute the waters. If he wants to advise them, do it in some other way.

      Because the nudity act has now caused an outrage ... locals and police in Malaysia are furious after photos have appeared in the public domain. Police have arrested one of the blokes already. The others would soon kena. Unless they manage fly off before kena tangkap.

      Kit Siang can sit at home directing Tony Pua etc what to hit out during the Budget debate.

  5. The no confidence motion? They'll pass a motion. In the polite old English way of saying passing some lumps down the toilet bowl, that the extremely egoistic and self-promoting Republican US Presidential candidate will say "sitting on the throne" in the smallest room of the house.

    But if the Parliament Speaker decides to "find the time" for discussion on the motion now placed as No 28(?) on the agenda, it'll only serve to show that he is fair minded and at the same time allows Malaysian Hansard to record that Najib did kena a no-confidence motion one time. That's all.

  6. Another GST? Crazy. Agree that "Najib will have to make .. the primary aim of not making things tougher for the rakyat."

    It'd help if he pumps back into the economy the RM2.6 billion if it's still around in Cayman Island, Singapore or God knows where.

  8. "can pay the rent and bills, buy food, have a bit of entertainment .." -

    You forgot the motorbike maintenance, dear. The Mat Rempits used diesel when it was much cheaper than petrol. Berasap all over the places. Now it's about the same price as petrol.

    The rationale for that decision was to lessen Mat Rempitism. Anybody knows if it's still melanda landa like DAP politicians are?

  9. Hahaha Najib said in a statement issued by PMO on Thursday ahead of the tabling of Budget 2016 in Parliament, "I have a plan ....". Sounding like Martin Luther King, the US civil rights leader who famously said, "I have a dream", isn't it?

    Now, now, don't anyone say that statement led to Martin Luther King being shot dead as the implication is not welcome.

  11. US Presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was reported to be maintaining her cool even after 8 hours of questioning during the opposition Republican Party-organised Libya Benghazi debacle hearing in Congress. Imagine folks, 8 solid hours and still on-going this very minute.

    Any Malaysian can do that? With kudut Lim Kit Siang being thrown out of Parliament for 6 months and several other DAP and Opposition blokes being also thrown out in the past, UMNO/BN would need an angel to stay cool like Hillary Clinton defending the Budget in Parliament this time. Or any other time.

    1. She finished after 11 hours. Just her, one 62 year-old woman answering all sorts of questions on the Benghazi debacle in 2012 fielded by a host of demeaning and very partisan opposition party reps.

      She did extremely well. Clearly capable of being the President of United States and if successful, will be the first woman President in US history. I would be comfortable in US dealings with Malaysia then. Even in US dealings with Zionist Israel, like with Obama.

      But not comfortable so long as Najib is PM. Any chance his Budget would be a shambles and lead to a clamour for his removal by UMNO after that?

    we all knew that najib and his gomen is currently at historically low in terms of support from the rakyat..so why bother? even the malay support is also at historically low..

    4. Saying against one member of or a group among the race is not racist. Like saying against Kit Siang or DAP Chinese, not against Chinese as a whole.

      But saying "bugis bangsat pm" could be just a matter of arrangement of the words. Could mean the pm is bangsat. Unless the fellow knows grammar well but deliberately wants to mean the whole Bugis race is bangsat. In which case hordes of fierce Bugis warriors will keris him in the assol.

      But I doubt if he'd explain. He may be the hit and run type.

      Delete
    5. It's ok to say about people's ancestry when you wanna explain things. If derogatory, or not pleasing, must quote historical facts and sources of information.

      Kit Siang, Guan Eng and the DAP gang always deserve the Cina Bukit title. They have the hill tribes of south China ancestry that Professor C.P Fitzgerald (may be googled) and other historians have written about in their books.

      They are usually referred to as such when they exhibit their Cina Bukit characteristics, thinking and mentality - ultra kiasu and ungatefful ingrates.

  16. A guy who has balanced up and defended budgets (at state level) is actor, body builder and former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger, who said in KL yesterday that he held on to six rules of success that took him to the top of his career.

    Among them is: ignore the no-sayers and prove that you can achieve anything. But I no think Ah jib Gor can. He got the worst election results at PRU13 and, despite bending backwards for the Chinese, he got the Chinese tsunami.

    Now he cannot ignore no-sayers even if "hidden hands" exist. We'll see if the no confidence motion is debated and how much shouting there will be despite Lim Kit Siang is Pariah-ed from the Budget debates. (His hatchet man Tony Pua the other day denied Pariah-ing Malaysian Indians).

  17. Conclusion......most of the Oppo MPs are clowns.
    Read Bricks over the wall blogs
    Cheap stunts knowing votes of no confidence will be defeated,not enough corum.
    PAS showed its payback time by voting against LKS
    Just wonder how the Oppo fair in GE 14 if they still main wayang like this
    Do not take for granted the inteligience of the voters esp fence sitters.
    Can conduct many survey but do these survey proven,e.g.Merdeka Centre said last GE BN will bungkus,but it was the other way round
    The middle class urbanites were getting fade up with the lips serving Oppo Reps cos they only concentrated on National issues but neglected their constituencies such as all rates jumped up,local councillers did not performed and so on......too much politicking
