Save?

Read in one of Rajawang’s blog abut the PM asking the rakyat to save more and not to spend lavishly. The first thing pop-up in my head, don’t you think we are not saving before? Have you ever thought that we seldom buy new clothes? That we ONLY eat bun for launch? That we seldom go out on weekend? Just to save money and pay for all the necessary things in our life?

You can call me and hubby not an interesting people for we seldom go out to town if there are no necessary things to run. You can call us boring for after Sunday mass we straight away drive home and that’s it. Do house work or just rest. There is no such thing as “jalan-jalan cari makan” (leisure) for us. Don’t you thing we are saving like hell?

Each time the meter’s hand reaching the E sign we starts calculating the cash in hand and other option to cut, which is barely none for we are not spending lavishly. The only time you see us spending is when Christmas come. That you can’t say “hey there’s where you need to save.” Or I’ll call you a stupid cow. It’s Christmas for goodness sake. It’s not like We go and buy new furniture or TV. We just buy present and some new clothes (last year didn’t buy any new clothes either).

So here I want to ask our Dear Beloved PM, tell us where else we should cut our expenses? Are you saying that we don’t drive to work instead cycle? Are you saying that we don’t eat rice just eat grass? Are you saying we should cut off our medical expenses? Don’t get sick at all?

Start your own business. Good idea but where to get the money if your salary just below RM2K? Borrow from bank. Good idea but with what you will pay if you can’t start off good? Belum cuba belum tahu (you won’t know if you don’t try). Well true enough but where will you get the $$ to cover all the other expenses? Don’t afraid to take risk. Again true but this only apply to those RICH people. Mau makan apa kalau business tidak jalan?(What to eat if the business doesn’t runs well?)

Well I better stop or I will start saying all those nasty words for being so frustrated. Need to think harder. Macam mana mau jadi kaya ni? (How to get rich?)

Hi Quirin,

I have stopped worrying about what other people say. If people want me to go to hell, why should I follow that. Hubby and I would safe when we want. It's for ourselves and not for the government or whatsoever. I prefer to use the money now rather than to lose it to the government when things seem to go wrong, touch wood. Have fun.

I know how you feel! With the price hike, it not only expand the gap between the poor and the rich.. it's a phenomenon.. a disease that will see the poor starved. So, if the govt suruh kerja OT during the weekend, how come the govt kerja 5 days a week saja?

When I read all the 'negative' comments from around the world about our govt, it makes me wonder if I still should be proud of my home country. I used to be very proud of Malaysia, now, bikin malu saja oh, macam2 karenah. Kasih sengsara rakyat ja.

queen quirin said...

well it is because of the new govt now. 1 person berani bersuara but no support from the other because they still want to "fan the butt". Thats what happening here. The rich will continue being rich and the poor will became even more poorer
