How America went bust.

Once there was a little island country. The land of this country was the tiny island itself. The total money in circulation was 2 dollar as there were only two pieces of 1 dollar coins circulating around.
1) There were 3 citizens living on this island country. A owned the land. B and C each owned 1 dollar.
2) B decided to purchase the land from A for 1 dollar. So, A and C now each own 1 dollar while B owned a piece of land that is worth 1 dollar.
The net asset of the country = 3 dollar.
3) C thought that since there is only one piece of land in the country and land is non produceable asset, its value must definitely go up. So, he borrowed 1 dollar from A and together with his own 1 dollar, he bought the land from B for 2 dollar.
A has a loan to C of 1 dollar, so his net asset is 1 dollar.
B sold his land and got 2 dollar, so his net asset is 2 dollar.
C owned the piece of land worth 2 dollar but with his 1 dollar debt to A, his net asset is 1 dollar.
The net asset of the country = 4 dollar.
4) A saw that the land he once owned has risen in value. He regretted selling it. Luckily, he has a 1 dollar loan to C. He then borrowed 2 dollar from B and acquired the land back from C for 3 dollar. The payment is by
2 dollar cash (which he borrowed) and cancellation of the 1 dollar loan to C.
As a result, A now owned a piece of land that is worth 3 dollar. But since he owed B 2 dollar, his net asset is 1 dollar.
B loaned 2 dollar to A. So his net asset is 2 dollar.
C now has the 2 coins. His net asset is also 2 dollar.
The net asset of the country = 5 dollar. A bubble is building up.
(5) B saw that the value of land kept rising. He also wanted to own the land. So he bought the land from A for 4 dollar. The payment is by borrowing
2 dollar from C and cancellation of his 2 dollar loan to A.
As a result, A has got his debt cleared and he got the 2 coins. His net asset is 2 dollar.
B owned a piece of land that is worth 4 dollar but since he has a debt of 2 dollar with C, his net Asset is 2 dollar.
C loaned 2 dollar to B, so his net asset is 2 dollar.
The net asset of the country = 6 dollar. Even though, the country has only one piece of land and 2 Dollar in circulation.
(6) Everybody has made money and everybody felt happy and prosperous.
(7) One day an evil wind blowed. An evil thought came to C's mind. 'Hey, what if the land price stop going up, how could B repay my loan. There is only 2 dollar in circulation, I think after all the land that B owns is worth at most 1 dollar only.'
A also thought the same.
(8) Nobody wanted to buy land anymore. In the end, A owns the 2 dollar coins, his net asset is 2 dollar. B owed C 2 dollar and the land he owned which he thought worth 4 dollar is now 1 dollar. His net asset becomes -1 dollar. C has a loan of 2 dollar to B. But it is a bad debt. Although his net asset is still 2 dollar, his Heart is palpitating.
The net asset of the country = 3 dollar again.
Who has stolen the 3 dollar from the country?
Of course, before the bubble burst B thought his land worth 4 dollar.
Actually, right before the collapse, the net asset of the country was 6 dollar in paper. his net asset is still 2 dollar, his heart is palpitating.
The net asset of the country = 3 dollar again.
(9) B had no choice but to declare bankruptcy. C as to relinquish his 2 dollar bad debt to B but in return he acquired the land which is worth 1 dollar now.
A owns the 2 coins, his net asset is 2 dollar. B is bankrupt, his net asset is 0 dollar. ( B lost everything ) C got no choice but end up with a land worth only 1 dollar (C lost one dollar) The net asset of the country = 3 dollar.

************ ****End of the story******* ********* ********* **

There is however a redistribution of wealth.

A is the winner, B is the loser, C is lucky that he is spared.
A few points worth noting -
(1) When a bubble is building up, the debt of individual in a country to one another is also building up. (2) This story of the island is a close system whereby there is no other country and hence no foreign debt. The worth of the asset can only be calculated using the island's own currency. Hence, there is no net loss.
(3) An overdamped system is assumed when the bubble burst, meaning the land's value did not go down to below 1 dollar.
(4) When the bubble burst, the fellow with cash is the winner. The fellows having the land or extending loan to others are the loser. The asset could shrink or in worst case, they go bankrupt.
(5) If there is another citizen D either holding a dollar or another piece of land but refrain to take part in the game. At the end of the day, he will neither win nor lose. But he will see the value of his money or land go up and down like a see saw.
(6) When the bubble was in the growing phase, everybody made money.
(7) If you are smart and know that you are living in a growing bubble, it is worthwhile to borrow money (like A ) and take part in the game. But you must know when you should change everything back to cash.
(8) Instead of land, the above applies to stocks as well.
(9) The actual worth of land or stocks depend largely on psychology.

Thank you for the special birthday celebration

Today is the most special and meaningful birthday for me.
Thanks to my buddies who had prepared such a 'unique' birthday celebration for me.
It must have used up quite a number of their neurotransmitters and ATPs to come up with such a sophisticated and perfect plan.
I really caught into their trap.
I already knew that they will celebrate with me & i already prepared myself for any possible circumstances. But i totally did not expect to be so special, their plan really surprised me.
It was so memorable, but too bad i didn't take any photo.
I am so glad i have such good friends.

小孩的無限想像力

小明是班上最頑皮的學生，喜歡在團體活動的時候搞破壞。有一次老師要同學們玩畫圖接力，因為擔心小明又搗蛋，所以故意把他的順序排在最後一個。

小朋友們一個一個輪流上台畫圖玩接力。




老師看了很滿意，眼看著一幅正常的圖就要畫完了，即使小明再怎樣搗蛋，也不會太誇張，所以就把小明叫上來。

他說：『這是我爸爸洗澡時後彎腰撿肥皂。』

Touching but sad story (MUST READ)

再富，也要窮孩子

前些天，帶兒子去逛書局，他吵嚷著要我買一個精致、昂貴但不實用的鉛筆盒給他，最後我只買了一個麻雀雖小，五臟俱全的給他，他的嘴頓時呶了起來。接著，他看中一個設計小巧玲瓏，曲線優美，尺面圖案喧賓奪主地蓋過刻度的精美塑膠尺，但我買給他的卻是一把木尺。他的嘴嘟得更有"克夫"（curve）了。我不作聲，打算晚上臨睡前才透過故事開導他。

自升為人父之後，我一再提醒自己要貫徹一個與東方社會價值觀反其道而行的育兒理念─「再富，也要窮孩子！」但幾年下來，我漸感難於堅持下去，直到有一天我輾轉讀到南京大學一佈告欄上，一封署名為"辛酸的父親"寫給其上大學兒子的"匿名信"之後，才又深感無論如何都得貫徹這個理念。

這封信很有轉述的價值，摘錄如下：

---

親愛的兒子：

儘管你傷透了我的心，但是你終究是我的兒子。雖然，自從你考上大學，成為我們家幾代唯一一個大學生後，分不清咱倆誰是誰的兒子。

扛著行李陪你去大學報到，掛蚊帳、鋪被子、買飯菜票，甚至教你擠牙膏，這一切，在你看來是天經地義的，你甚至感覺你這個不爭氣的老爸給你這位爭氣的大學生兒子服務，是一件特沾光特榮耀的事。

在你讀大學的第一學期，我們收到過你的三封信，加起來比一封電報長不了多少，言簡意賅，主題鮮明，字跡通篇潦草，只一個"錢"字特別工整、而且清晰。

大二以後，從你一封接一封的催款信上我們能感受到，言辭之急迫、語調之懇切，讓人感覺你今後大學畢業時可以去當個優秀的討債人……。

最令我痛心的是，今年暑假，你居然偷改入學收費通知，虛報學費…，沒想到你竟也運用這招，來對付生你、養你、愛你、疼你的父親母親，僅僅為了能出入卡拉OK及酒吧…。

我一想起這事就痛苦，就失眠！這已成為一種心病，病根就是你─我親手撫養大卻又倍感陌生的大學生兒子。不知在大學你除了增加文化知識和社會閱歷之外，還能否長一丁點善良的心？

---

閱畢整封信，我想起妻懷孕時一位辛酸的父親，第一次上超音波做掃描時，我最關心的不是胎兒的性別，而是他到底是孤身上路抑或結伴而來─雙胞胎甚或四胞胎？

我執教的學校，有二男二女各取名為"歡、樂、新、年"的四胞胎兄妹。我常看到他們的爸爸拎著四份一模一樣的便當盒，在籬笆外分四次塞給四名可愛的孩子；而每次看到他們蹦蹦跳跳地回課室享用，便知道他們對便當的"內涵"相當滿意。我身為窮教員，如果孩子是結伴而來，我所能給他們準備的便當的內容，恐怕會顧得了量而顧不了質。

我之所有這種顧慮，主要受華人「再苦，不能苦了孩子！」的傳統觀念所影響。直到有一天，我那移居澳洲多年的老同學回國探親，及時給我來個當頭棒喝。

據他說，澳洲人民生活富裕，然而他們在信奉上帝之餘更信奉：「再富，也要"窮"孩子！」的教育理念。他們認為，在過份呵護下長大的孩子，將無法自立並且不懂感恩！

他回國的第二天，我陪他冒著風雨出外辦點事，他指著一個被包裹得像棉花團的華人小孩說：「孩子應當比大人少穿一件衣服！」他說在澳洲，即使冬天時也很難見到「棉花團」；如果是艷陽高照，母親們也會別有用心地、故意不撐開嬰兒車的遮陽棚。

我們東方家庭「再苦，也不能苦孩子！」的做法，看來有糾正的必要了。那天晚上，我思前想後，決定等將來孩子入學了，為他準備一些"其貌不揚"的便當，以窮他物質，富他精神。

我手頭上有這麼一則資料：美國費城納爾遜中學門口有兩尊雕塑，左邊是一隻蒼鷹，右邊是一匹奔馬。雕塑所要表達的不是我們耳熟能詳的鵬程萬里馬到成功，而是象徵一隻餓死的鷹和一匹被剝了皮的馬。

原來，那只蒼鷹，為了加速實現飛遍五大洲七大洋的偉大理想，練就了各種高超優雅的飛行本領，結果忘了學習覓食，只飛了四天就活活餓死了。那匹奔馬嫌第一位主人─磨坊老闆給的活多，就乞求上帝把它換到農夫家；而後又嫌農夫餵的飼料少，又要求與其他馬對調，最後到了皮匠家─不必幹活，飼料又多，好不愜意。然而沒過多少天，它的皮就被皮匠剝下來做了皮革！

由此可窺見，一個缺乏起碼的獨立生存能力及不懂感恩的人，無論他有多大的才華，日後有多了不起的成就，都不算是一個健全的人，都是一個生命有缺憾的人。

動物界有一套超越萬物之靈的育兒理念，許多動物在它們的幼兒很羸弱時，會把它的幼崽含在嘴或在翼下，怕它們遇險而夭折；但當它們的孩子長大些，它們會毫不留情地把孩子趕離自己身邊，讓它們獨自去經風雨、練本領，甚至不給孩子留下回頭路！只有這麼做，孩子才能經得起任何風浪之襲擊，才能夠絕處逢生。

含在嘴或在翼下和趕離身邊，都是父母對孩子不同的愛的體現，連動物也深懂「慣子如殺子」的道理。

再富也要窮孩子，才能逼孩子學習獨立前行，學會感恩惜福。畢竟…孩子的後半生我們不一定能參與……。

Who chopped down the cherry tree?

Legend has it that George Washington, America's first president, chopped down a cherry tree in his youth. The story goes that George gives the tree a good swing and chops it down with an axe. His father sees the damaged tree and asks his son if he knows who did the deed. George is quoted bravely admitting the truth:
'I can't tell a lie, Pa; you know I can't tell a lie. I did cut it with my axe.'

Below is a satire of how some Malaysian politicians circa 2008 may have reacted to the question:

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi - 'I did not cut down the tree , I was just taking a nap underneath it.'
Najib Razak - 'I swear that I have never MET that tree.'
Hishamuddin Hussein Onn- '...but I only own a keris ,not axe, how to cut down the tree?'
Dr Mahathir Mohamd - 'Apa nama cherry tree, yes, I chopped it down because, I don't like the idea of Pak lah sleeping under it.'
Chua Soi Lek - 'Yes it was me, I resign as caretaker of this orchard.'
VK Lingam - 'It could be me, it might have been me but I don't think its me.'
Anwar Ibrahim - 'I did NOT do it, and I am not giving any DNA sample for you to plant on the axe handle.'
Mohd Khir Toyo - 'The new state government should just trim the grass and not waste time asking who cut the tree.'
Ahmad Said ( Terengganu MB ) - 'I chopped it because cherry trees are more expensive to maintain than durian trees.'
Azalina Othman - 'The cherry tree is not included under my tourism MOU so I cut it down and besides there were unauthorised signboards put up around the tree.'
Shabery Cheek - 'I challenge you to a debate on tree cutting.'
S Samy Velu - 'I chopped it because Hindraf members were using it as a meeting point.
Wira Ali Rustam - 'We have planted durian trees for 50 years and we will plant them for another 50 years, we do not need cheery trees, apple trees , pear trees and all these other foreign trees.'
Rais Yatim - 'You must see the bigger picture, Ahmad said cherry trees are expensive to maintain, Ali Rustam said that are against our national identity and I needed to test my new axe, so you see, it is a WIN-WIN situation all around.'
Sharir Samad - 'I cut the tree because we could no longer afford to subsidise it.'
Karpal Singh - 'The bigfoot creature did it.'
Bung Mokhtar - 'The big monkey did it'
Pandikar Amin Mulia - 'There is nothing in the standing orders against chopping cherry trees. Kinabatangan duduk, Bukit Gelugor duduk .
Khairy Jamaluddin - I did not do it, neither did the Mat Rempits. By the way, what's a cherry tree?'
Lim Kit Siang - 'Cherry tree also you don't know, you are an insult to Oxford !'
Nazri Abdul Aziz - 'Racist, racist, racist! When we cut down durian trees nobody made a fuss. Now...'
Malaysian Citizens - 'Oh for heavens sake! Somebody plant something before we all starve to death!'

Nice joke from Badawi to Us

Have a good laugh!

How much would it cost to (telephone) call Malaysia from Hell? You'd be surprised!

Queen Elizabeth, Bill Clinton and Ahmad Badawi died and go to hell. But
the devil has only one phone there. Queen says, I miss my England , can I
use your phone and hear how my people are doing down there.

She calls and talks about five minutes. Then she asks:
Well devil, how much do I owe you for the call? The devil says: Five million pounds.
She writes him a cheque and goes back to her chair .

Clinton wants to make a call too. He says I wanna call the US . He talks about ten minutes,
then asks how much do I owe you devil? The devil says Ten million dollars.
He also writes a cheque and goes back to his seat

Badawi is jealous. He says I want to call Malaysia. He calls and talks for about an hour to his
son-in-law who is busy trying to find Mr.Petronas. Then he asks the devil how much
do I owe you?

The devil replies: only one dollar. Badawi is shocked and asks 'why so little?'.

The devils says: if you make a call from one hell to another, IT'S LOCAL CALL.

FIND THE MAN IN THE COFFEE BEANS

FIND THE MAN IN THE COFFEE BEANS :
after you find the guy -- it's so obvious. Once you find him -- it's embarrassing, and you think, Why didn't I see him immediately?

Time yourself - START NOW on how long u need to find the man in the beans



Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man betwee n 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!!

And, yes, the man is really there!

Missing Rooster

The priest in a small Irish village was very fond of the chickens he kept in the hen house out the back of the parish. He had a cock rooster and about ten hens.

One Saturday night the cock rooster went missing, and as that was the time he suspected cock fights occurred in the village, he decided to do something about it at church the next morning.

At mass he asked the congregation 'Has anybody got a cock'?-----all the men stood up.

'No No' he said 'That wasn't what I meant. Has anybody seen a cock?'----all the women stood up.

'NO NO' he said 'that wasn't what I meant. Has anybody seen a cock that doesn't belong to them?'-----half the women stood up.

'NO NO' he said 'That wasn't what I meant. Has anybody seen my cock?'----all the nuns stood up.

Sweet Joke

There once was a man who had only one testicle, and whose given
name was 'Onestone'. He hated that name and asked everyone not to call
him Onestone.

After years and years of torment, Onestone finally cracked and
said,'If anyone calls me Onestone again I will kill them!'

The word got around and nobody called him that any more.

Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said, 'Good
morning, Onestone.' He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into
the forest where he made love to her all day and all night. He made
love to her all the next
day, until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.

The word got around that Onestone meant what he promised he would do.

Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until a
woman named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away.
Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin, was overjoyed when she saw
Onestone. She hugged him
and said, 'Good to see you, Onestone.'

Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest, then he made love
to her all day, made love to her all night, made love to her all the
next day, made love to her all the next night, but Yellow Bird
wouldn't die!

What is the moral of this story?............

OH, come on...take a guess!

Think about it

(You're going to love this!)

And the moral is.

You can't kill two birds with one stone!!

No Air- Jordin Sparks featuring Chris Brown......by Marie Digby

This is my favourite song out of all the songs that had been sang by Marie Digby.
She is such a great singer.

What is never been mentioned in Mainstream Media

WHAT IS NEVER MENTIONED IN Mainstream Media like NST/TheStar/Utusan/BH are these facts....

Malaysian PerCapita Income USD 5000
VS
Singaporean PerCapita Income USD 25000

Further The Star made a comparison of prices in Thailand , Singapore and Indonesia .


For Thailand it is quoted at RM3.90/liter, however are they aware that in Thailand new cars are cheaper than Malaysia by RM10,000? They pay only one life time for their driving license? No renewal fee after that? Also that goes for road tax as well? And do TheStar also aware that you can drive all the way from Hadtyai to Bangkok on a six lane highway without paying any Tolls ??!!

Whereas here in Malaysia you have to pay yearly renewal for road tax , driving license and TOLLS, TOLLS, TOLLS!!!

For Singapore how can you quote RM 5.20 ? Please quote in Singapore Dollars because they are earning in Sing Dollars. You might as well say Europeans are paying RM10/liter. RM5.20/liter = Sing $ 2.20/liter, still cheaper than Malaysia in view of fact that Singapore is not a crude oil exporter. Are you saying that you fill up petrol in Singapore by paying Ringgit?

In economy, dollar to dollar must be compared as apple to apple. Not comparing like durian in M'sia is much cheaper than durian in Japan !! Of course-lah, Japan is not durian producer!!! Comparing Malaysian durian with Thailand durian make more sense!!

For Indonesia we might say is cheaper there at RM2.07/liter but compare that to their level of income!


Now, let us compare the price with OIL PRODUCING countries:

UAE - RM1.19/litre
Eygpt - RM1.03/litre
Bahrain - RM0.87/litre
Qatar - RM0.68/litre
Kuwait - RM0.67/litre
Saudi Arabia - RM0.38/litre
Iran - RM0.35/litre
Nigeria - RM0.32/litre
Turkmenistan - RM0.25/litre
Venezuela - RM0.16/litre
MALAYSIA - RM2.70/litre


RM 2.70!!! Individual perspective:

As of last month a Toyota Vios would 'cause a damage' of about RM 89,000.
In the international market, a Toyota Vios is about USD 19,000
USD 19,000 = RM 62,700 (using the indicative rates of USD 1 = RM 3.30)
That makes Malaysian Vios owners pay an extra RM 26,300.

This RM 26,300 should be cost of operations, profit and tax because the transportation costs have been factored in to the USD 19,000.

RM 26,300/ RM625 petrol rebate per year translates to a Vios being used for 42.08 years.

I do understand that the RM 625 is a rebate given by the government, but it also means that one has to use the Vios for 42.08 years just to make back the amount paid in taxes for the usage of a foreign car. Would anyone use any kind of car for that long?

Now with these numbers in front of us, does the subsidy sound like a subsidy or does it sound like a penalty? This just seems to be a heavy increment in our daily cost of living as we are not only charged with high car taxes but also with a drastic increase in fuel price.

With all the numbers listed out, I urge all Malaysians to join me in analyzing the situation further.

Car taxation is government profit, fuel sales is Petronas' (GLC) profit which also translates into government profit. The government may ridicule us Malaysians by saying look at the world market and fuel price world wide. Please, we are Malaysians, we fought of the British, had a international port in the early centuries (Malacca), home to a racially mixed nation and WE ARE NOT STUPID!!!

We know the international rates are above the USD 130/barrel. We understand the fact that the fuel prices are increasing worldwide and we also know that major scientist are still contradicting on why this phenomenon is happening. Some blame Bush and his plunders around the world and some blame climate change and there are others which say petroleum 'wells' are getting scarce.

Again we go back to numbers to be more straight fwd

1 barrel = 159 liters x RM2.70/liter = RM 429 or USD 134

On 1 hand, we are paying the full cost of 1 barrel of crude oil with RM2.70 per liter but on the other hand the crude oil only produces 46% of fuel.

Msia sells crude oil per barrel at USD130 buys back Fuel per barrel at USD134. And not forgetting, every barrel of fuel is produced with 2 barrels of crude oil.

1 barrel crude oil = produce 46% fuel (or half of crude oil), therefore
2 barrel crude oil = approximately 1 barrel fuel
In other words, each time we sell 2 barrels of crude oil, equivalently we will buy back 1 barrel of fuel.

Financially,
Malaysia sell 2 barrel crude oil @ USD 130/barrel = USD 260 = RM 858
then, Malaysia will buy back fuel @ USD 134/barrel = RM 442/barrel
Thus, Malaysia earn net extra USD 126 = RM 416 for each 2 barrel of crude sold/exported vs imported 1 barrel of fuel !!!
(USD 260-134 = USD 126 = RM416)

So where this extra USD 126/barrel income is channeled to by Malaysian Govt?????????

Another analysis:

1 barrel crude oil = 159 liters.
46-47% of a barrel of crude oil = fuel that we use in our vehicles.
46% of 159 = 73.14 liters.
@ RM 2.70/liter x 73.14 liter = RM197.48 of fuel per barrel of crude oil. This is only 46% of the barrel, mind you. Using RM 3.30 = USD 1, we get that a barrel of crude oil produces USD 59.84 worth of petrol fuel (46% of 1barrel).
USD 59.84 of USD 130/barrel turns out to be 46% of a barrel as well.

Another 54% = bitumen, kerosene, and natural gases and so many more.
And this makes a balance of USD 70.16 that has not been accounted for.

So this is where I got curious. Where is the subsidy if we are paying 46% of the price of a barrel of crude oil when the production of petrol/barrel of crude oil is still only 46%?

In actual fact, we still pay for this as they are charged in the forms of fuel surcharge by airlines and road taxes for the building of road (because they use the tar/bitumen) and many more excuse charging us but let us just leave all that out of our calculations.

As far as I know, only the politicians who live in Putrajaya and come for their Parliament meetings in Kuala Lumpur (approximately 60+ km) are the ones to gain as they claim their fuel and toll charges from the money of the RAKYAT's TAX.

It is so disappointing to see this happen time and time again to the Malaysian public, where they are deceived by the propaganda held by the politicians and the controls they have over the press.

Which stupid idiot economist equates rebates for rich or poor with the cc of the vehicles? An average office clerk may own a second hand 1300cc proton Iswara costing $7,000 (rebate = $625) while the Datuk's children can own a fleet of 10 new cars of BMW, Audi and Volvo all less than 2000cc costing $2 millions and get a total rebate of $625 x 10 = $6,250! Wow what kind of economists we are keeping in Malaysia ...wonder which phD certificate that they bought from...

Misleading concept of Subsidy:

The word 'subsidy' has been brandished by the BN government as if it has so generously helped the rakyat and in doing so incurred losses. This simple example will help to explain the fallacy:

Example:
Ahmad is a fisherman. He sells a fish to you at $10 which is below the market value of $15. Let's assume that he caught the fish from the abundance of the sea at little or no cost. Ahmad claims that since the market value of the fish is $15 and he sold you the fish for $10, he had subsidised you $5 and therefore made a loss of $5.

Question : Did Ahmad actually make a profit of $10 or loss of $5 which he claimed is the subsidy?

Answer:
Ahmad makes a profit of $10 which is the difference of the selling price ($10) minus the cost price ($0 since the fish was caught from the abundance of the sea). There is no subsidy as claimed by Ahmad.


The BN government claims that it is a subsidy because the oil is kept and treated as somebody else's property (you know who). By right, the oil belongs to all citizens of the country and the government is a trustee for the citizens. So as in the above simple example, the BN government cannot claim that it has subsidised the citizen!

国家大事 – 汽油涨价：农场的故事（强力推荐，必读）

讓我說個農場的故事﹐讓你知道什麼是國陣說的“津貼“……

在一個農場裡﹐每天可以生產 10粒蘋果。農場裡有 5個工人和 1個場主﹐總共 6個人。他們每天一人吃一粒蘋果﹐就足夠維持農場裡的運作﹐所以還有剩下4粒蘋果。

場主把這4粒蘋果賣了﹐一粒 RM10。結果賺了 RM40。場主把這RM40拿來提昇農場裡的所有設施﹐設備﹐但是一天最多也需要 RM25罷了。多出的 RM10就拿來發給5個工人﹐每人有 RM2。還有 RM5拿來當作自己的盈利。

日子這樣下去﹐這個農場就變得很先進而且工人的住宿和環境都是一流的。5個工人也存了一筆錢。

但是不久這個好場主去世了﹐來了個新場主。新場主說﹕“我們要提昇農場素質﹐要有一流的思維。現在你們吃的蘋果﹐需要給 RM1.00。但是你想想﹐這是很便宜的﹐你去外面買蘋果一粒要 RM10叻﹗“

工人沒辦法﹐就繼續做工和每天給 RM1.00 來吃他們以前每天吃的免費蘋果。結果他們現在每天只得到 RM1.00。

現在﹐新場主還是把多餘的 4粒蘋果拿去賣﹐賺了 RM40﹐還是像從前一樣﹐RM25拿來提昇設施﹐RM10就拿來發給5個工人﹐RM5拿來當作自己的盈利﹐再來﹐現在那5粒蘋果他賣給工人﹐賺了 RM5.00。現在他共有每天RM10.00盈利。

不久﹐蘋果售價突然大漲了一倍﹐外面售價 RM20一粒。現在新場主還是把多餘的 4粒蘋果拿去賣﹐大賺了 RM80。

農場的設施提昇工程現在換了是新場主的朋友承包。新場主的朋友說﹐蘋果售價大漲﹐設施提昇工程的費用也要漲價了﹐變成 RM50。其實真正費用才 RM30﹐新場主把多出來的 RM20和他的朋友平分。

現在新場主有：

RM10 (和他的朋友平分的提昇工程費)

RM20 的盈利(RM80-RM50-RM10=RM20)

RM5 的賣蘋果給自己員工賺的錢。

總共是RM35.00。比起以前的RM7.50﹐新場主多賺了RM27.50﹗!

哇﹗﹗﹗暴利叻﹐蘋果售價突然大漲﹐農場賺多了 RM27。50。但是工人還是每天只賺取RM1.00。

但是﹐貪心的新場主卻招來 5位員工﹐對他們說﹐“你們看看﹐蘋果現在的市場售價是 RM20 一粒﹐但是你們卻用 RM1.00 來買一粒蘋果﹐你看你們多幸運！“

“我就辛苦了﹐我需要津貼你們每人 RM19.00﹐總共 RM95.00 來給你們蘋果吃啊﹐你看農場的津貼負擔多麼的重﹗“

“農場真的很辛苦了﹐再這樣下去﹐農場會破產﹐倒閉。現在我賣你們每粒蘋果 RM1.50 吧﹐我辛苦一點來津貼RM18.50。“

那麼現在新場主的暴利又增加了﹐RM20 + RM10 + RM7.50 = RM37.50。又賺多了RM2.50。這 RM2.50 是從哪裡賺來的﹖就是從自己工人的口袋賺來的。

712双峰塔反燃油涨价万人集会 反涨盟：规模比公选盟集会更大

李永杰 | 6月5日 下午3点12分

更新 反对通货膨胀联盟（Protes，简称反涨联盟）今天宣布将在7月12日周六下午3时假双峰塔展开万人大集会，以抗议国阵政府宣布大幅调涨油价的决策。 反涨联盟发言人哈达蓝里（Hatta Ramli，左图）自信地强调，“这次集会跟公选盟集会(Bersih)不一样，它（规模）会更大，影响力也会更大。” 哈达蓝里也指出，反涨联盟号召大集会所欲达到的具体目标，就是要促使油价恢复到暴涨40%之前的每公升1令吉92仙的水平。这个价格也是政府在2006年2月28日调涨30仙所宣布的价格，。 More in here.

Men vs Women

沒錢的時候老婆兼秘書,
有錢的時候秘書兼老婆。

過去把第一次留給丈夫
現在把第一胎留給丈夫；

鄉下早晨雞叫人，
城裡晚上人叫雞；

「成功」，對男人的定義是指能賺很多的錢，對女人的
定義是指能花很多的錢。


男人有錢就變壞，
女人變壞就有錢。


男人沒有女人，耳根清淨；
女人沒有男人，居家乾淨。


男人「入錯行」，上班會很痛苦；
女人「嫁錯郎」，下班會很痛苦。


好女人，養壞男人的胃口；
壞女人，吊足男人的胃口。


婚前，男人像傳令兵；
婚後，男人像指揮官。


失戀不見得是世界末日：你的心也許會'泣血'，
你的荷包卻可以不再'失血'。


以前提到結婚，想到「天長地久」；
現在提到結婚，想到「能撐多久」。


當初會結婚，說是「看上眼」；
後來會離婚，說是「看走眼」。


婚前，愛情是神話；
婚後，愛情是笑話。


男人花錢，是為了讓女人高興；
女人花錢，是因為男人讓她不高興。


嫁入「豪門」，要懂得理財；
嫁入「寒門」，要懂得生財。


以前的人，視婚姻生活為「一輩子」；
現代的人，視婚姻生活為「一陣子」。


婚前，男人在餐廳等女人；
婚後，女人在客廳等男人。


婚前，男人經常找女人「討論」；
婚後，男人只告訴女人「結論」。


婚前，男人對她悄悄講話；
婚後，男人對她大聲講話。


戀愛時，情話綿綿；
結婚後，謊話連連。


戀愛時的男人，喜歡「毛手毛腳」；
結婚後的男人，變成「沒手沒腳」。


婚前，情侶做什麼都是「浪漫」；
婚後，夫妻做什麼都是「浪費」。


如意郎君何處覓？
有才華的長得醜，
長得帥的掙錢少，
掙錢多的不顧家，
顧了家的沒出息，
有出息的不浪漫，
會浪漫的靠不住，
靠得住的又太窩囊………


男人呢?
漂亮的女人不下廚房，
下廚房的不溫柔，
會溫柔的沒主見，
有主見的沒女人味，
有女人味的亂花錢，
不亂花錢的不時尚，
時尚的不放心，
放心的沒看頭。


想結婚，是自己已能獨立；
想離婚，是子女已獨立。


婚前的男人，大都很幽默。
婚后的男人，大都很沉默。


女人的記性，吵架時最好；
男人的耐性，結婚后最差。


戀愛時，一見面就「親嘴」；
結婚後，一見面就「鬥嘴」。


婚前，男人常給女人「空白支票」；
婚後，男人常給女人「空頭支票」。


戀愛時，生活「妙不可言」；
結婚後，日子「苦不堪言」。


婚前，男人天天盯著女人；
婚後，女人天天盯著男人。


熱戀時，總相許下輩子再結良緣；
結婚後，常常疑上輩子造作孽緣。


大男人，會「作威作福」；
好男人，會「作牛作馬」。


婚前，「謊話」都是「情話」；
婚後，「情話」都是「廢話」。


婚前，靠近一點；
婚後，閃開一點。


婚前，沒話找話說；
婚後，有話也不說。
