I doubt there's such people in UxxO who have such good qualities.. all I see songlap kaki only

unless they take from "outside" like from corporate world

When Petrolnas export, we export in USD, when convert back to RM at 4.16, it is very favorable.

i think it will about how smooth the change is and who will take pm and fin min posts.

market will likely get jittery at first, no good for rm.

and if the replacement is one with poor reputation and holding 2 jobs again, it won't be taken well with investors, things will get worse.

if the 2 jobs are taken by 2 people wih fair-good reputation and well versed in finance, confidence will soar, will be very positive for investors and rm.

Now, a PM with no control of Petronas aka number #1 source of THE GOVERNMENT's money is powerless.

Dreamer

petronas may become irrelevant.

chinese renminbi ("pegged", post devaluation)
thai baht
sing dollar
euro
japanese yen
korean won
indon rupiah
new zealand dollar

The Bank of Thailand has likely intervened at times to keep the baht stronger to try to avert capital outflows amid concerns about an expected U.S. Federal Reserve rate increase, said Charl Kengchon, managing director at Kasikorn Research. Such a move by the Fed could spark fund outflows from emerging markets such as Thailand, where bondholdings by overseas investors total as much as 600 billion baht ($18.38 billion), added Mr. Charl.

The country’s current-account surplus and large holdings of U.S. dollars have contributed to the baht’s relative strength in the region. The Thai central bank’s reserves of foreign currency declined to $155.4 billion by the end of January compared with $166.8 billion in January of last year, according to the Bank of Thailand.

On Thailand, I think it is the perception and confidence it commands. Despite military coup, investors have more confidence in the army than a democratically elected but corrupt Thaksin government.

We seem to be quite good with "bottoms"!

Thailand... Better the exporters complain rather than the rest of the people cry and suffer.

I am so proud of our leaders 

On the data above, we missed out HKD which performed even better than CNY. Only 0.03%. On par with USD ! Hong Kong dollar is #1

Yeah... We are No 1, ranked from the bottom!

No lah, there are countries worse than us, like Russian ruble

You think easy to be number 1 (even from bottom) ? It takes the courage to start a war to be number 1. Our leaders are "good", but not that "great"
