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

I am so proud of our leaders  thumbup.gif

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
*
Which means RM has also depreciated greatly -against hkd! That sucks!

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"  tongue.gif

Ai... We are always a mediocre, not the best n not the worst...

SGD is dropping a more than 10% too. Thought MAS intervene USD/SGD  pair with huge reserve?

10% SDG vs 30% RM? Which country is better protected?

If our government is transparent and clean like S'pore, we would have much much more money in our central reserve to rescue the RM!! Look at what is happening now? Government has no money, all the agency is complaining they have not received their funds which was promised during budget 2015. PTPTN loan is cut by 40% and delayed payment to colleges, schools subsidy money is delay and hence TNB issued warning letters to schools to cut electricity, etc. (i can go on and on...)

How sad is this?????

This is typical example of when a few individuals's scoping up all the resources and let the entire country (rakyat) to suffer! vmad.gif vmad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

MAS has already issued a statement few months back

Singapore, 14 April 2015…In response to media queries, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said today that certain market commentaries suggesting that MAS had been intervening heavily to support Singapore’s currency were incorrect.  These reports had erroneously cited the fall in Singapore’s official foreign reserves (OFR) and MAS’ FX swaps since mid-2014 as an indication of heavy intervention by MAS to support the Singapore Dollar Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (S$NEER).

Looking back at our country leader, proudly and openly announce they wouldn't intervene the ringgit! cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

1 year difference

USD/HKD 0.03%
USD/RMB 3.8%
USD/GBP 5.6%
USD/TWD 8.9%
USD/THB 11.8%
USD/SGD 12.7%
USD/JPY 17.4%
UDS/KRW 17.4%
USD/Eur 16.3%
USD/INR 19.4%
USD/CAD 20.5%
USD/NZD 25.8%
USD/AUD 27.3%
USD/MYR 31.9%
USD/RUB  92.6%

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.

Everyone is depreciating against USD, no doubt about that. But you cannot DENY that RM is the WORST performing currency in ASIA.

That's why i sincerely requested Showtime bro to create a list to show the performance of RM against other currency. Probably this will make it easier to convince someone RM is one of the worst performing currency in the world.

India, Canada, NZ, Australia, Russia currencies also dropped a lot too. It is a global currency war to depreciate currency to makes competitive EXPORTS.

Why are we comparing with the weak but not with the strong?

Even for us to compare with Singapore we should feel extremely shameful! Singapore is only as big as Klang Valley with a population of 5 million. No natural resources what so ever. But they are able to be the most competitive country in the world with a per capita income of USD50k.

Do you still need to compare? Why can't our ruler just admit that we have failed?

It is free open market.. Why need to intervene the currency uptrend / downtrend ? Weaker currency makes competitive exports, good tourism business and increase ppls saving in bank, as other than basic necessities needs spending in life, ppls will hold purchasing import items that not important(luxury, or demand based needs) ?

Ideally we all Malaysian don't travel to overseas and don't import anything overseas and we only attract people coming to Malaysia to study and vacation. rclxms.gif

Is this possible?


Honestly, How many household items that you are using is made in Malaysia? Please go and count it now.

Yeah, very informative with many currencies dropped against strengthening greenback.. Many countries are in currency war to depreciate their currencies, to boost competitive EXPORTS and tourism. Thanks for the great information, that linked it to strengthening greenback with 1st interest rate hike by USA FED soon.

can you do a study on how much money the country made (education, tourism, export) vs the money we lost (import)?

that is where some people dun understand.

it is obvious many, esp our politicians and their supporters can't even understand the roots of the problem.

so, it is denial all the way; it's all due to external, nothing we can do, we are better than abc or xyz, it's ok.

when there is denial and non recognition of the problem, how can there even be an attempt to deal with it?! biggrin.gif

So we wait until the country going to bankrupt then only we will realise we are in deep shit?

May be by then they will say... Oh we are not the first country to go bankrupt, so still ok!

Great job for newbie.  rclxms.gif  But, still cannot elaborate why the world are playing currency wars.
1) Boost competitive EXPORTS and TOURISM  business.
2) Ppls will save more money in Bank, as they will HOLD any purchase other than basic need.
    If you want to purchase new smartphone and with weaker currency, you want hold and delay the plan.
    Hence, more cashflow in hand.

You must be imagining the whole nation is into export and tourism business! rclxub.gif

But we can't deny that most of the imports are from china. So just take MYR/RMB, also dropped 32%, used to be RM50 - RMB100, now RM66 - RMB100.

So you think the retailers wouldn't transfer the cost to the consumer?

A lot online broker available but just bear in mind none licensed by BNM, so the risk is on ur own ya.
Boss, I just based on last resistance, always look to the left of the chart 😊. IMHO fundamentally, our beloved country is still ok but thanks to the fakap political issues from both side made it this far 😭

Hard to say man.... Petronas is already using their savings to pay RM26B promised to federal government. There is no sign of O&G price to U turn in the near future. Some more Iran is coming into the picture to compete in O&G production and exports.

As we know 40% of nation's GDP is contributed by Petronas, are we sure our fundamental is still strong? sweat.gif doh.gif

I've been thinking, do Malaysians really want the people overseas to come back? . If there are 1 million Malaysians working overseas, and they all come back to work in Malaysia, that is 1 million more people fighting for (mostly professional) jobs, more cars on the streets, more demand for properties resulting in higher prices etc.

That depends. If the country's unemployment rate is low due to the mess citizen left the country and causing shortage of manpower, that's not healthy. doh.gif


Besides, the employee will become more competitive if they know that their job is being eyed by many others. If they don't perform, out they go! flex.gif flex.gif
