Our Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has just make an announcement on the price rise of petrol to RM2.70 per litre from RM1.98 per litre. Is it too much or too little? As for the rich and the famous (and the evil) the increase is nothing. But as for the poor the increase means shelving plan of things he wants to do. As for me it means I have to go here and there with only my MYV Perodua as it consumes less petrol. But my point here is not me but the population at large of whom majority of them are low earning workers either working for the government or companies big and small. Everyday they have to work to make ends meet. 60% of the population constitutes younger generation and a large proportion is still in schools or universities. And a large and significant proportion of the population has just begun a family life with children to be fed and clothe. With the rise in the price of petrol, the natural economic sequence is that the price of other produts and services would be up too. Whatever, it boils down to a scenerio where life is no longer the same. It is okay if it is for the better. But would it for the worse? Undoubtedly to me everything seems to be then on edge when comes to spending. Economically, politically, social and cultural - where would it leads to. It would be a whole new multi-scenario of landscapes we have to deal and manage. Can we?

what can we do?
Satu ketika dulu pernah saya memberanikan diri dalam dunia keusahawanan ini. Tahulah dulu dulu, bank hanya lebih melihat luar dari dalaman. Kadang kadang kedua dua benda tu pun tak tengok. Ada ketika bank manager `menendang' cek saya tanpa memberi tahu saya terlebih dahulu, sedangkan pada keesokkan harinya saya memperolehi jualan yang banyak. So frustrating.
Ada juga saya pergi ke MARA untuk mendapatkan pinjaman. Tetapi bila berdepan dengan pegawai Melayu pula, dia melepaskan dan melemparkan kata kata pedih sehingga hari ini saya masih lagi ingat.
Kalau seseorang tu hendak berubah,especially in Malaysia, infrastrktur dan minda ekonomi kena diubah, poltik dan minda politik kena menggunakan pendekatan yg lebih mengetahui, sosial dan anjakan paradigma perlu berlaku, dan sikap mereka yang berkerja dgn institusi pinjaman patut juga berubah, mesra dan lebih mengenali pelanggan. I am sure from doing a thorough checking, you are able to qualify the good, the bad, and the evil.
Syukur Alhamdullilah dengan berkat doa dan sabar, syarikat yang saya ada hari ini, hanya berurusan dengan syarikat dari luar negara sahaja yang free dari kerenah local politics. But to succeed it is still hard work that matters no matter doing business insdide or outside Malaysia. And one more thing, to succeed you must be a strong believer in success...
