Even some of the restaurants at my place are closing down after so many years in business, sad to see but yea it's a hard time for business owner out there

Data also shows Malaysia inflation only 1.4%, you think can believe everything the government tells you ?

I trust data more than mouth to mouth information

I trust the government more cos the government gives me free dedak tongkat welfare zakat pension bantuan hutang x mao bayar lifestyle.

/S

Low inflation can be a result of poor demand. Prolong this can lead to deflation.

My business is rather OK these past 6 months. But in order to maintain price, I have negotiated very very thoroughly with China suppliers.

Long story short, reduce quality to maintain selling price. Alas, majority of Malaysia market demands cheaper price over quality.

Hence you see Eco-shop growing YoY.

I'm also in the construction sector but it hasn't affected us. Yes cost is up, as is labour, and having to deal with skilled labour shortage.

We are not as affected as what we do can't be bought online and our main clientele are T1 so they are still spending money. In fact if anything we are doing better than before COVID.

Generally speaking business is slow, only Madani claims economy is great under them. And then there's the free dedak tongkat welfare zakat pension bantuan hutang x mao bayar lifestyle species supporting whatever Madani says.

i really dunno economy is slow or the buisness model we do is obsolete?if economy bad, why i still see new car is getting higher and higher sales per year? house renovation also everywhere...

Now business doing cheap stuff use and throw is getting better than expensive, use and keep and reuse..

Consumer also no money to buy exp, and to maintain it

as a consumer, not a biz my motto is "buy expensive not sure lagi if quality better but buy cheap what's sure is its cheaper"
only hit wall when buy cheaper only thing about buying more expensive hoping its better quality

This. I see more cars, house renovation, travelling etc. than previously.

But also see more "for sale/rent" shop lots around these days. Even shops that been operating there forever.
Even some malls have more vacant space recently.

Gomen servants and glc employees are not affected by aggregate economy or market sentiment.

BMX is more interested in helping Gaza, man u, etc than country economy.

BMX Bapa Cukai Naik, Bapa No Subsidy but still acting action wanna give so many dedak tongkat welfare zakat pension bantuan hutang x mao bayar.

U see on your fb wall lah, group lah. New cars everyday, pickball, makan bagus and teavel bagus.

Economy slow? Nahh others are blooming.

During economic recession, there will still be people eating bagus, new car, travel, buying lorex, Hermes, etc everyday. You have no idea of economic recession.

BMX doesn't has credibility.

Since when our politicians got credibility, it's all about dedak for votes.
