INDIAN RUPEE CRASHES PAST 90 RUPEES TO US$1. INDIA HAS SERIOUS HYPE PROBLEMS.

 

The Indian Rupee has been performing badly against most world currencies including the USD. Recently the Indian Rupee fell past 90 Rupees to one US Dollar. 

The Indian Rupee has been going down for the past FIVE years. Over the past FIVE years it has depreciated over 22% against the US Dollar. See the 5 YR chart below.

 

 

Worse than that over the past 10 years the Indian Rupee has depreciated 35% against the US Dollar. Here is the 10 year chart.

 

All this is happening under the Narendra Modi Dynasty. Modi became prime minister in 2014. Eleven years later the Indian currency has crashed past 90 Rupees to the US Dollar.

All this is happening because India has been steadily losing its productivity vis a vis its major trade partners. For the past FIVE years India has accumulated significant trade deficits. See the 5 Yr Balance of Trade chart below. India imports more than it exports. The trade deficit has gone past US$40 billion in 2025.

 

There is a lot of hype coming out of the Modi government. Indian domestic and foreign policy seems to be geared around shouting out that India is a world superpower. That India is the number 4 or number 3 economic superpower in the world. That India is a military superpower. That the Indian GDP now exceeds US$4.5 TRILLION. That the GDP is growing at 8.2 %. Bla bla. 

 

There are some doubts being raised about all these claims - from within India itself. Some Indian critics say that the GDP growth rate may have been overstated by up to 40%!! That is 3.3%!! So the real growth rate is around 4.9%?

 

Other critics say that the Indian nominal GDP is closer to US$2.5 TRILLION - not US$4.5 trillion. An over statement by about 80% (2/2.5 = 0.80) !!

 

Granted all these figures are highly debateable. One of the criticisms is that the "Services" sector of the Indian economic data is very subjective and is manipulated (or bloated). 

 

Here is a quick analysis by Joe the economist at Joe's Blog who makes informed observations about the economic situations of countries around the world. 

 

My view is I do not see a happy ending for India - not in a  long time. 

 

Malaysia’s SMEs Are Being Crushed - by The Coverage Media

The Coverage Media

Malaysia’s SMEs Are Being Crushed – While the “Walaun” Get Endless Handouts
This is the most walaun-friendly, most anti-business gomen we have ever had.
The policies are punishing the very people who keep this country running. 
entrepreneurs, taxpayers, job creators are the real backbone of our GDP.
7 out of 10 SMEs now have less than 6 months of cash reserves.
Many are on the verge of closing down.

And yet:
IRB is holding onto overpaid tax refunds for 3–5 YEARS.
This isn’t “tak bayar cukai” or “kurang bayar”.
This is TERLEBIH BAYAR – money that already belongs to the businesses.
Money taken in excess from us.

(OSTB: Under Bossku they kept my overpaid taxes 'untuk cukai tahun depan')

SMEs are surviving on razor-thin margins and have less than 6 months’ cash.
Many have less than 3 months.
By the time IRB finally decides to return what is rightfully ours, the business is already bankrupt, shuttered, workers laid off.
The extra tax paid never comes back to save the company – it just becomes free money for the gomen to spend.

If IRB is so terribly slow and inefficient that it needs half a decade to process a refund, how come the same gomen can suddenly find RM10 billion a year (excluding bonuses) to give civil servants massive salary hikes effective immediately? 

(OSTB: That is called securing their support - with your tax money)

Money that belongs to businesses is locked away while the same gomen can disburse international “humanitarian” aid in minutes.
Even Lim Guan Eng raised this in Parliament SEVEN times – publicly and privately begged the gomen to listen.
Depan Cakap Lain, Belakang Buat Lain.

(OSTB: Main bel@k@ng pun boleh. Better be careful.) 

 
Compliance burdens keep piling up
E-invoicing
ESG reporting
Higher minimum wage
Mandatory EPF for foreign workers (extra RM17.4 billion cost to businesses every year)
Gomen agencies naik fee 15%–250%
Enforcement officers terer sangat cari makan on legal businesses
Minor offences pun kena compound teruk.

But the same “hardworking” officers tak nampak:
RM120 billion civil service wastage every year (Auditor-General Report)
Melayu, Cina, India – buat bisnes halal, bayar cukai, sediakan peluang kerja – setiap hari kena serbu, kena kacau, kena compound atas kesalahan kecil macam letak barang 2 inci di luar garis.
Tapi Rohingya, Bangla, Pakistan – buka kedai haram, jual barang tiruan, tak ada lesen, tak bayar cukai langsung – tiba-tiba mata enforcement semua RABUN. Tak nampak langsung.

(OSTB: I say brader, Pakistan, Rohingya, Bangla sudah kautim lah. The more Pakistan the more kautim).

Then you add the cascading blows:
Diesel subsidy removed
SST increased
Port Klang container handling +30%, storage +197% to +243%
Electricity tariff hike (possibly another 15% cost increase for SMEs)
SMEs are screaming: “We may not survive another year.”
This is not just “Chinese businesses” suffering – stop the old stereotype.
45% of registered SMEs are Bumiputera-owned.
Today’s Malays are bangsa usahawan, not “walaun duduk rumah tunggu subsidi jatuh dari langit”.
Urban Malays, M40 Malays, Malay entrepreneurs – we have NO voice.

Politicians champion the lazy segment that refuses to help themselves.
Successful ones? Punished just for being successful.
Our corporate tax is 24% – one of the highest in the region (Singapore only 17%).
You make raw materials, electricity, transport, compliance – everything skyrockets.
Then you ask: “How to lonjak ekonomi? How to create more Bumiputera entrepreneurs? How to fight inflation?”

When businesses collapse, tax collection will collapse.
Where will the money come from to fund all the endless walaun programs then?
When businesses struggle → they have no choice but to raise prices.
When prices go up → consumers suffer.  
You suffer. I suffer. Our parents suffer. The rakyat suffers.

In the end, EVERYBODY suffers.
Yet this gomen keeps squeezing us dry:
Remove subsidies
Electricity hikes
Slap more fines and penalties
Tax hikes 
More regulations 
Hold our overpaid taxes for years (money that is rightfully ours)
Pile on new taxes, new compliance costs, new fees 

And then what do they do with OUR hard-earned taxpayer money? 
OUR sweat and blood?
They use it:
To play international hero and donate millions overseas “for humanity”
To out-Hadi Hadi, looking holier-than-thou on the global stage
To keep pumping billions into endless handouts for the walaun class
To build their shiny  projects and pet programs 

That money didn’t fall from the sky.
It came from the blood, sweat, and sleepless nights of entrepreneurs – Malay, Chinese, Indian, Bumiputera, everyone who wakes up at 5 a.m. to open their shop, pay staff, pay taxes, and keep this country running.
You punish the people who create jobs.
You reward the people who refuse to work.
You take from the productive and give to the entitled.

And when the businesses finally collapse under the weight?
When the tax revenue dries up because there are no more businesses left to tax?
Who’s going to fund your handouts then?
Who’s going to pay for your international hero photo-ops then?
Stop killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Because when the goose dies, the whole country starves 
Including the very people you claim to protect.

MY CONCLUSION: 

But in this country this has been the case for the past few decades. Regardless of which party or which coalition is in power this same shit happens again and again.

The media has already reported on 'cartels' bringing in the Rohingyas. There was (and possibly still is) massive corruption in the Rohingya import business. There are millions of Banglas in the country. Once a year every Bangla must renew his work permit. The 'middlemen' provide this 'permit renewal' service. The middlemen must be paid thousands of Ringgit.   That money is shared with "others". This has been going on in Malaysia for the past decades - ever since the Banglas started coming here.

Today it costs almost RM20,000 to bring an Indonesian maid. A sizeable chunk of this money is for the 'kautim'. This has been going on for decades.

Then what about all the young girls being brought in from Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia to work in the various "joints" including the 'pedicure parlors' and 'urut kaki' parlours? Malaysia has been consistently scoring high marks on the human trafficking indexes. 

"Malaysia has been flagged in international reports for its human trafficking situation for many years, most notably in the U.S. State Department's annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report. Current Status: Tier 2.  In the most recent 2025 TIP report, Malaysia was assessed as a Tier 2 country. This ranking indicates that the government does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of human trafficking"

This is Malaysia. Its all kautim. The kautim runs into the billions. This has been going on for decades. Dont forget the mass graves found at Wang Kelian. That case will never be solved.  

This comment by The Coverage above also does not mention the other billions that are being stolen EVERY YEAR not only from businesses but from each and every ordinary citizen. The billions that are stolen from us each year by the gomen licensed monopolies and oligopolies. The banking oligopoly which is actually a cartel. The monopolies in rice import, food imports, meat import cartels, monopolies in public utilities, the sky high motor vehicle prices because of sky high taxes and APs.  The never ending toll concessions which get extensions that seem to go on forever. 

The Malaysian people have been ripped off for decades now - regardless of which party or coalition is in power.

• The solution? 
• Kick them out. 
• Just vote them out. 
• Keep changing your vote. 
• Just change your votes. 
• If at the last poll you voted for A, the next vote vote for B. 
• Like changing baby's diapers. 
• The more frequently you change the baby's diapers the less is the stinky. 
• JUST KICK THEM OUT. 
• KEEP CHANGING YOUR VOTE. 
• Until they do what is right and good.   
• JUST KICK THEM OUT.

MUSLIM BOTHERHOOD BUILDING "WORLD CALIPHATE" USING US$100M SWEDISH WELFARE MONEY??

MY COMMENTS AT THE END.   

1.  First here is some news from Sweden:

More than US$100M stolen from Swedish taxpayers by Islamist Muslim Brotherhood-linked Imams who ran private schools in Sweden and have now fled the country.

An investigation by one of Swedish newspaper Expressen revealed that the groups embezzled over one billion sek (Swedish kroner) through school vouchers and welfare funds. According to the report, one of the members of the network is the former Member of Parliament, Abdirizak Waberi, who illegally transferred twelve million kroner to fund sex clubs in Thailand, luxury hotels, and his own Islamist party in Somalia, through fake IT invoices.

"It’s like a double loss. The money in welfare is disappearing, we are not getting the welfare that we have paid for with our tax money. At the same time, someone else is taking the money, who is stealing and making himself rich," says the chief prosecutor at the Economic Crimes Authority in Gothenburg Henric Fagher, who has run a special project against several free schools and preschools in the environment.

Expressen's investigation now shows that behind these schools and preschools there are two cooperating networks which have been engaged in welfare crime for multi-million-dollar sums.

A group of Imams classified by the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) in 2019 as threats to national security, Abo Raad, Abdel Nasser El Nadi, and Hussein al-Jibury ran schools and preschools that funnelled tens of millions to private individuals and extremist groups in Malta. 

The schools have been closed by the authorities, sometimes at the direct request of the Security Service and in other cases they have gone the “Al Capone route”: via investigations into economic crime.

2.  Here is another summary:

• extensive investigation by Swedish newspaper Expressen in Nov 2025
• uncovered significant financial fraud network in Sweden involving Muslim Brotherhood
• scheme siphoned more than US$100 million in public funds. 
• Details of Scam
• Public Funds Misappropriated: funds stolen from Swedish welfare system
• specifically public school vouchers and social welfare funds
• Network of Schools and Businesses: 
• fraud through network of private schools, preschools, businesses 
• operated by radical Islamist figures.
• Key Figures and Activities: individuals involved siphoned money for personal luxury 
• and to finance extremist activities.
• One former Member of Parliament, Abdirizak Waberi diverted us$1.25 million to fund trips to sex clubs in Thailand, luxury hotels, and an Islamist political party in Somalia
• Other imams, some classified as national security threats by the Swedish Security Service (Säpo), funneled large sums to individuals and extremist groups in Malta before fleeing the country.
• Legal Action and Fleeing Suspects: investigations led to numerous school closures and criminal convictions. Many of the main players have fled Sweden as legal proceedings advanced.
• Government Response: Swedish government publicly acknowledged the expansion of political Islam in various institutions and announced an official inquiry to determine the extent of this infiltration and develop strategies to counteract anti-democratic forces. The first findings of this commission are expected in 2026. 

MY COMMENTS:

The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood is good at one thing but has failed at everything else.

Their claim to create a 'world caliphate' is just b.s. A non-starter. You cannot establish a world caliphate by relying on social welfare money from the kafir countries like Sweden, United Kingdom, the US and Canada. And by the looks of it siphoning out money from their social welfare programs.   

The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood has failed in Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Sudan, Libya, Syria, Jordan and Gaza. They have become the Muslim Botherhood. 

So what is the one thing they are good at? The provide upward social mobility for their poorer Egyptian members. From its founding until today the senior and top leadership of the Brotherhood have always been exclusively Egyptian. This is an Egyptian enterprise. And many of the Egyptian brotherhood members live safe, secure and wealthy lives in exile. Especially in the West.

Otherwise they screw up. The jewel in their crown has always been Egypt, Egypt and Egypt. In 2012 they succeeded in placing their candidate Mohamed Morsi as president of Egypt. Then they screwed up. The Egyptian people did not shed any tears when Morsi was kicked out in just over one year.  

In Tunisia they formed the government in 2011. Then they failed miserably. Then in 2016 they suddenly disassociated itself from political Islam.  Their leader in Tunisia is now in jail. Another disaster. 

You cannot create a world caliphate using welfare money siphoned out from the kafir countries.

CHINA'S SUPER CARRIER - WHAT IS ON BOARD AND AROUND IT

Over the past few weeks there has been some buzz in military news channels about China coming close to launching its FOURTH aircraft carrier the nuclear powered Type 4 aircraft carrier weighing 120,000 tons, with a length of almost 1,100 feet. This will be the largest aircraft carrier and the largest warship ever built in the history of the world. 

China has achieved this in just under 20 years. 

In 2012 the Chinese Navy commissioned their first aircraft carrier the Liaoning at 70,000 tons and 1000 feet in length. The Liaoning was a refurbished Soviet carrier previously known as the Kuznetsov.

Seven years later in 2019 they commissioned the Shandong also at 70,000 tons and 1,000 feet in length. The Shandong's hull and flight deck was a duplicate of the Liaoning. 

Then this year they have commissioned the Fujian at 80,000 tons and 1,050 feet in length. The Fujian is completely designed in China and has unique features like EMALS (electro-magnetic launch system) whereby a "magnetic rail-gun" type thing hooks onto the aircraft and speeds it down the flight deck and into the air.  

And now China is close to launching (possibly 2027) its FOURTH aircraft carrier the Type 004 which is going to be a super giant at 120,000 tons and almost 1,066 feet. This will be a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. After launching it may still take a year or two for the carrier to be commissioned for combat patrol. 

If you notice China has been commissioning its carriers approximately seven years apart. This gives them sufficient time to design, build, test and commission all the systems that make the aircraft carriers work. From the hull, engine and propulsion, the flight deck, the launch system, the "island" control tower, radar, sonar and electronics and the carriers own weapons systems. Plus a few thousand specially trained crew to operate the whole thing.

Also when the carrier sails it will be accompanied by a group of ships which must include  the Type 055B destroyer, the Type 052D frigate and the Type 093 nuclear submarine. The 13,000 ton Chinese Type 055B destroyer is the most powerful warship in the world. Period. It can even blow that aircraft carrier out of the water. The Type 052D frigate provides air cover for the carrier. The Type 093 submarine will detect underwater and surface threats.

The new Type 004 carrier will likely have railguns, laser weapons and operate unmanned combat aircraft (UCAVs). It will carry about 90 aircraft including China's latest stealth jets.

It is likely that China will build a few more of these giant carriers. Here is brief video.

 

FRIDAY LITE: "YOUR KPI IS TO MAKE ME LOOK GOOD".

 

RULE NO 1: NO NAMES. ITS THE TIMES WE LIVE IN

 

Talk is Mata Beliak recently called for a retreat of sorts with senior management at a five-star hotel. There were about 40 senior managers present. In the meeting she told them that her term could end in about 12 - 18 months. So she told them that their KPI from now until then was to make her look good so that she gets to run again.  "YOUR KPI IS TO MAKE ME LOOK GOOD".

The Chief of Staff then asked her how would such a KPI be measured? Will it be by the number of newspaper reports about her etc? Of course dumbo could not answer. 

My Comments:

• This is a very serious matter. 
• The KPIs must be precisely measurable.
• Should the newspaper reports be on the front pages or on page 27?
• Would it be a single column news or double column report etc? 
• And in which newspaper? 
• The Wall Street Journal or the Bangla Daily Banger? 
• KPIs must be precise.
