Ya, never know how long this process can be. Like you said, "not tested before".
Now the government tries to switch their economic focus slowly from the extreme of heavy export to internal demand. This is not easy as well, but the increase on salary does show their success on first step. Lets wait and see if their following steps can work successfully or not. 

its a globalize world now. you only need one of the powerhouse kena, they rest will be affected one way or another.

imo, china have been booming so fast that a slight pullback will cause a small recession. or perhaps a soft or hard landing. 

anyhow, its just my cheap cent

there are many reasons..
~M'sia & Indo'sia stock pile at high..
~EU sets policy on biofuel consumption
~M'sia is losing out to Indo'sia's cheaper export tax of palm oil (or refined palm oil, cannot remember)
~Early crop harvest in the US
~Less demand from India & China...

with the 5 reasons above.. CPO price is depressed.. personally, i see this as an opportunity to buy cheap plantation counters...
now is just scanning time.. perhaps, Dec/Jan is the right time to buy (imho)...

MAS??????? DID U SAY MAS???

no effect also... 

Smartphone deduct rm200 for those 21-30 income below 3k

A total of RM500 million will be spent by PR1MA to build 80,000 houses in major locations nationwide with the selling price ranging between RM100,000 and RM400,000 per unit. Among the locations are Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Johor Bahru, Seremban and Kuantan

it's enough to build 80,000 house with 500m ??

maybe not included the land costs, because the land owned by state government and most of the house is not in big city or maybe is wooden attap kampung house or rumah panjang shud be enough gehh 

Today paper come out, deduct 1% for each bracket... full stop

Forget to mention that...
Anyway, 1 cent saved is 1 cent earned...

wahhh CPO 2400 and no respite yet...

problem is.. current price is for December delivery...
meaning February earnings report will be horrible... so investors will overlook that and take the 6months drop in earnings as a temporary hiccup ? 
personally i'm still holding and no intention to sell.. only buy
but everyone else think the same as me ? hahah
