My friends are starting to import those surplus/rejected goods from China, by the containers

They are prepared to sell those goods over here, when the economic crisis hits

Since the surplus/rejected goods are normally like RM0.30 per, if they sell for RM 2 my friends will still end up with many truckloads of cash

food?

Is the economy really going down? I heard people telling me the economy is slowing down since 5 yrs ago but yet I still see people buying.

Look at the minion frenzy & look at the que in burger labs for example. If the economy is so bad, then why people still go to expensive fine dining and can afford buying those iphone, s3, s4, s5?

if you want to learn more about the economy.

jibby rage u baru tau

tengok cafes, food places if economy going down still those places flooded with people even if the food or drinks cause more then RM10 each

a recent property launch showed that 90% units are booked in the 1st week. 600k condo. Mostly bought by young malaysians. Slowdown apa

TS bb, pdrm is now finding you for posting rumor that will become hasutan.

well even as the ringgit falls, alot of k said its good for Malaysian export but demand for Malaysian export (for instance palm oil)is in decline.

When ringgit become weak this is supposed to help our export but nobody want to buy.

Now what?

correct correct correct

ok saja... i see pasar ramadan not effected also the economy

Things don't happen overnight, when ringgit falls it still takes time for countries to make decision & negotiate the purchase, also they want to see if the fall is temporary or long term, at the moment Ringgit is fluctuating, last week up, this week down so it doesn't help boosting export unless it's a quick ebay purchase.

If you read the news, Malaysian exports has been down for quite sometime now.

Us salary men felt the pinch 2 years ago with the poor employment market and many have already opted for going freelance and pt. Sad state of affairs but we are globalised and when US and China sneezes we catch pneumonia.

Salaries have been going down whilst prices of necessities are going up and up. Real purchasing power is falling as more is needed to buy a kilo of chicken. My household have changed their diets from meat to vegetarian so that we can cut cost.

why this kind of thread in kopitiam??

Vote for beeend for better economy.
Stupid people who vote for them now makes other suffer as well.
When they won election currency became stronger for a while,Now becoming worse and worse.
It's ok,Keep on voting for them and suffer.

If you looked at your currency exchage chart you'd notice Ringgit is actually still high which resulted in reduced exports for the past year, recent fall on rm merely brings it back to normal.
