Msia consumer sentiments still decent, sometimes have to appreciate Malays for their willingness and courage to spend despite the BNPL addiction, without them, businesses like ZUS, Chagee, and Oriental would have long gone
weekend crowds in malls especially in eateries always have to queue for tables
Popmart stores full of Gen Zs queuing
I guess CCP Popmart makes most of its revenue in oversea markets
you said already. BNPL that's just borrowing future money. root cause from my view is still the Jew created usury system. still looking forward to the day when this system can be abandoned. i don't want to live in forever debt.
and Type C in Malaysia also like to save not willing to spend similar to China people, so demand gone. its just different culture. later TypeM take boleh bayar, become bankrupt or hutang tak perlu bayar.

The problem is not inflation. It's the rate of inflation. Generally, a slight inflation is healthy. The world has seen deflation during the great depression. There's a reason why it's called the great depression.

I don't know about China, but I think US situation now is 1000x worse
Always be careful with what you watch and consume online. Economic data, net migration rate and information from people you know who actually stays there are often much more reliable than youtube videos especially now that creators and news outlets are incentivized to create sensationalized content to grab views.

Price hike because of supply side inflation is bad but prices wont go down until demand goes down.
But domestic and private consumption rises so there is a buffer somewhere that is fueling this. Wages, ppl spending wisely (channelling from less important A to B) or even EPF account 3. Or some biz have been able to buffer the costs better than those that come out in newspaper rising prices.

the slight inflation of 2% yearly is what world order has set humans on.

Have to agree with you on this lol. My malay relatives would spend money on non-essential things like you mentioned even though they don't have much money, whereas I think my Chinese blood made me hesitant to spend on unnecessary things when my wallet's tight.

For growth to continue, productivity and population has to trend upwards. These 2 trending upwards means more money has to be printed or else there will be less money on average for everyone. If more money is being printed but deflation takes place, this means that on average, everyone's productivity value is worth and rewarded with less and less. Inflation must absolutely happen, again, it just depends on the rate. 2% is generally healthy for the rate of world population growth but of course, different country will have to handle it differently based on their situation.
Dalam alipay banyak mini app. Boleh auto translate kalau buta huruf tak pandai putonghua. Pergi order mixue, luckin. Tengok orang beratur macamana. Tengok mall orang beli barang macamana. Lepas beli phone huawei/xiaomi beli kereta sekali matchy-matchy color handphone. Then kau nak makan cerita media US tu kau punya pasal.
the way some media and so many ktards here saying... if one didn't use one's brain to think rationally, would have taught long ago collapsed already... haha

well if you don't mind living on interest upon interest then go on.
Is a whole wide world issue, while most Malaysian still complaining about Malaysia. A lot of my friends working at oversea also say that Malaysia is still lucky, most basic food, facilities, services and especially medical fee still reasonable but people just keep complaining when others price up.
