Oil bursts higher as OPEC Secretary-General promises deal today

KUALA LUMPUR: A Wanita Umno delegate has questioned the Government for appointing non-Malays in top positions in government-linked companies (GLCs).

“When top positions are filled by other races, the effect is that opportunities for contractors, consultants and lawyers are all given to them (their community),” Hamidah Arshad (pic) from the Bagan division said in her debate at the 70th Umno general assembly Wednesday.

Hamidah said there are other qualified Malay professionals who could have easily filled the positions.

“GLCs belong to us, but why are we giving them (top positions) away to other races? Who will help our own race? Whose fault is this? It’s ours,” she said.

That's the reason why MYR will reach 5 to the USD fast!

really hoping they strike a deal and we can get back to our normal lives pre GST. I think I grew white hairs in this year alone and I'm only 28 years old.

Ooops.....
Seems like I make d wrong call by Long USD

the punters are going wild now.

the cnbc commentator said even tourists are, at this time, buying oil options & futures!

well, we have to see what "deal" will be made.

the deal may be a light one, or simply, "we agree to talk again".

for now, we are seeing just the volatility.

$... i think may not be impacted much immediately.

aaaannnnnnnnddd crude oil and Brent oil jumped nearly 4% today.

aaaannnnnnnnddd crude oil and Brent oil jumped nearly 4% today.

I don't know what is the % I have overseas, I never counted,... and the figures are very dynamic, money comes in here, then goes out there, etc,... For myself, I am now hoping for the RM to strengthen, so that it will give me a chance to exit. I continue to earn the RM, and since I have no more instalments to pay in the country, I will convert whatever that I can into foreign currencies in order to plough them into investments, and buying hard properties.

I am not thinking of bringing back my foreign currencies, such funds are to be parked in the respective countries for me to use. What I have to chase in my investments is : To earn FASTER than the inflation rate of the country that I invest into.

By the way, just like limeuu, I have also 'parked' my family overseas, and my children, though young... are already studying in one of the foreign countries in which I have investments in.

I won't be making foreign currencies yet with 'those investments'. I'll have to continue making/earning foreign currencies using their instruments. I take this as an event in life, the ablity to continue life in a foreign country WITH the family ! Investment income supporting my family is, I believe, put to very good use here.

opec deal reached! is it time for us to celebrate?

I think better wait for oil to get back above $55~$60.
