Minimum Wage up 88.9% from RM900 in 2013 to RM1,700 in 2025
they target Minimum Wage of RM3,000 by 2030
MTUC wants Minimum Wage of RM3,100
My Comments: They have low IQ, they do not understand business, economics or finance. They think simply waving a magic wand and saying Kun Pa Yakun (Be and it is) will magically make things better.
Here is the most important bit of information: Minimum Wage up 88.9% from RM900 in 2013 to RM1,700 in 2025
In 12 years the Minimum Wage increased almost 90%.
This has imposed higher costs for businesses especially start up businesses. They will close shop, fire workers or not hire as many workers. Unemployment will increase.
And inflation will certainly go up. In 12 years the Minimum Wage has gone up by almost 90%. The question is has that been sufficient? The answer is no.
When the Minimum Wage goes up more price inflation will be 'manufactured'. Wage earners will still find it difficult to make ends meet. Like a cat chasing its own tail - it will never end. This means there will be pressure to keep increasing the Minimum Wages.
Meaning more businesses will close down because they cannot afford higher and higher Minimum Wages. Which is what is happening in our country. So the unemployment will increase.
But they will rebrand the unemployed as the gig economy. There are now 3.0 million people in the gig economy. What this means is that there are an extra 3.0 million unemployed.
Just send back the Rohingyas, the Myanmars, the Banglas, the Nepalis, the Pakistanis. That is a few million already. They are taking jobs away from the locals. MALANGNYA RAMAI ORANG MELAYU TAK FAHAM DAN TAK SEDAR ANCAMAN BESAR INI. Ramai daripada anak tuan-tuan yang habis sekolah tak dapat kerja sebab terlalu ramai pekerja asing sudah sapu peluang pekerjaan dalam negara kita.
Switch the education system back to English - or at least for science and mathematics. Switch to English like the sekolah asrama penuh, the international schools etc.
We must create an economy that has higher productivity, automation and higher value added. Then the wages will increase because of higher productivity.
Masalah Rohngya makin menjadi dan membesar. Ikut laporan di bawah ini Rohingya kencing dan berak di merata tempat.
Dan Rohingya ini makin menimbulkan masalah khusus bagi orang Melayu bawahan - yang sangat ramai. Here is the reason. Rohingya sewa rumah kos rendah, mereka masuk flat dan apartmen PPRT (projek perumahan rakyat termiskin), kawasan setinggan dan kampong-kampong orang miskin - yang paling ramai sekali adalah Melayu. Maksudnya kumpulan B40. Contohnya seperti video di atas.
Rohingya tidak menjadi masalah di Seksyen 17 Petaling Jaya, di Minden Heights di Penang atau Bangsar Baru di KL yang semuanya adalah kawasan mewah. Dan ramai penduduk kawasan ini adalah Cina, juga India dan Melayu.
Tetapi secara amnya Rohingya menimbulkan angkara dan masalah di kawasan kos rendah di mana penduduknya lazimnya adalah kumpulan Melayu B40.
Sebab itu setiap hari kita boleh tengok video, podcast dan laporan media oleh orang Melayu yang ceritakan huru-hara terkini yang melibatkan Rohingya.
So percayalah pada PRU akan datang, PH akan ditendang keluar. Mereka akan disepak macam bola sampai mereka masuk orbit angkasa lepas dan boleh kelilingi bulan.
This is Thailand's multi-talented, highly accomplished and beautiful Queen Suthida. The latest feather in her cap is getting her jet fighter wings when she successfully flew solo a Saab Gripen fighter jet of the Royal Thai Air Force. Flying a jet fighter takes significant training, skills and commitment. She has done it at 48 years of age. Extraordinary.
Her husband HRH King Vajiralongkorn of Thailand was present to see her take off and land. Upon landing there was a small ceremony where HRH the King pinned the Gripen badge on the Queen. The King then presented the Queen with a bouquet of flowers.
The Queen Suthida is well known in Thai society as a strong advocate of Thai traditions. Traditions means you have your own history.
1. Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder attended President Vladimir Putin's 74th birthday celebrations on Wednesday. Here be the news:
Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder attended Russian President Vladimir Putin's birthday party, the Kremlin said Thursday.
Putin celebrated his 74th birthday in Moscow on Wednesday.
"The president invited his old friend to his home" the Kremlin said,
pictures of Schröder and Putin smiling and clasping hands.
Schroeder happened to be travelling in Moscow on a business trip when Mr Putin was informed of his presence. So Mr Putin invited Schroeder over to his house. Business trip? Germans on a business trip to Russia? But isnt there a war going on? Isnt Russia under complete German and western sanctions? What was Schroeder doing on a business trip to Moscow?
So you see folks, the world is never as you hear about it. The reality is always different from what you are told.
2. But here is an even bigger birthday surprise for Mr Putin:
Trump says Russia to supply diesel to US and global markets
October 9, 2026
Summary
Russia to supply 300,000 tons of diesel now, with more later, Trump says
Move comes ahead of November 3 midterm elections
US diesel prices hit $6.28 a gallon on Thursday
Zelenskiy says gifts to Putin will not bring peace
WASHINGTON, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Russia to supply diesel to global markets
Trump lifted US sanctions on Russian fuel
Diesel prices fell after the announcement
Trump said "highly successful" discussion with President Vladimir Putin
Russia will immediately supply >300,000 metric tons of diesel
equal to about 2.25 million barrels of fuel
Russia would supply another 500,000 tons in November
further 1 million tons "immediately thereafter."
Even more would follow, Trump said
Diesel prices are up 70% since Feb 28.
average US diesel prices US$6.28 a gallon on Thursday
US diesel futures fell 5%, trading at US$4.64 a gallon.
Ok folks listen to this part:
Even more would follow, Trump said
This means the sanctions against Russia are over. Otherwise Mr Trump cannot say 'even more will follow'.
It also means Zelenskiy (Ukraine) cannot be attacking Russian oil refineries anymore, especially using American and Western weapons. Because Russia can stop sending the 300,000 tons, 500,000 tons, 1.0 million tons of diesel and blame it on Zelenskiy.
Then diesel prices in the US and the West will shoot up again. Putin will say, 'If you want diesel then stop shooting'.
This will certainly seal the fate of Zelenskiy. Exactly when he will go will be known soon. Ursula Van Der Lyin, Mark Rutte and Kaja Kallas need to be shown the door as well. Where or what will be the new border or boundary between Russia and 'rump' Ukraine?
Top Russian, U.S. officials, including Jared Kushner held talks to bring U.S. investor into Nord Stream pipeline deliver gas to Germany Kirill Dmitriev, close adviser to Putin, Kushner, son-in-law of President Trump Dmitriev, Kushner met in Moscow and New York in recent weeks Any deal will have to be with U.S. Itnl Dev Fin Corp (DFC) and US Treasury must benefit US taxpayers and companies” White House said about the pipeline Dmitriev campaigned for resumption of Russian gas sales to Germany met last month with U.S. Energy and Treasury Dept reps Before 2022, Germany bought more than half of its gas from Russia America and Russia will share the profits Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) the most popular party, agrees Dmitriev will meet AfD leadership early next year to discuss selling Russian gas Nordstream 51% owned by Russian Gazprom, 31% split between two German entities Under new plan, US DFC, Qatar, UAE will buy Nordstream U.S. authorities would lift sanctions against Russia
My Comments:
Notice that this is happening so soon AFTER Britain got a new Prime Minister
US Govt will buy direct stake in Nordstream, also Russia, Germany and others.
Cheap Russian gas will flow to Germany and Europe.
All the sanctions against Russia must go.
German Opposition party AfD will most likely ok this deal.
The AfD is pro Russia.
Ukraine is being short changed, left out in the cold.
So now the US, Russia, Germany and the EU must switch sides.
Russia will get all the sanctions lifted.
New financiers will take over from old financiers.
Here is the oil price chart (West Texas) for the past 30 days.
Despite all the ongoing Hormuz bullshit, in the past 30 days West Texas crude has gone from US$90 per barrel down to US$68 per barrel to yesterday's US$71 per barrel. These prices are relatively low. Oil is not likely to hit US$100 - maybe never.
In 2024 Saudi Arabia cancelled capacity expansion to 13 million barrels per day. 1 million bpd of future capacity was cancelled. Saudi's present capacity ≈ 12 million bpd. But actual production ≈ 9 million bpd. Shortfall ≈ 3 million bpd
World oil supply is now about 105 million bpd.
World oil demand is just below 104 million bpd.
Despite the ayatollah monkeys, world oil supply exceeds demand.
China consumes 16 million bpd of oil (about 15%). This is disappearing.
Please take note.
But here is the real threat on the horizon. It is called Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (TMSR) and it is Made in China. It does not need cooling water, no danger of Fukushima or Chernobyl accidents, it can be built small and modular (possibly in 12-18 months by the Chinese) and it runs on super abundant thorium - which is a waste product from many mining operations. China has enough Thorium to last them 20,000 years or more.
Here are two videos you must watch. Maximum 15 minutes. You can double the speed on YouTube.
The Chinese are planning to build ultra large container ships powered by thorium molten salt reactors.
Thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR) powered container ships
Producing roughly 50 MW electrical power
Extraordinary endurance - decades without conventional refuelling
Ship size: about 230,000–250,000 tonnes carrying 24,000 containers
It will be the end of bunker fuel for Chinese container ships. And 250,000 tonne giants will lower transport costs from the Port of Shanghai to Los Angeles. Pinduoduo will give 50% discounts.
The Chinese already have a prototype TMSR up and running since 2023. It is rated at 2MW thermal and is located in Gansu in the Gobi Desert. See picture.
No ventilation chimneys, no cooling towers, no cooling ponds. No need for water.
They are already planning a 10 MW or larger TMSR plant by 2030 - only FOUR years away. I estimate that in another six years after that (2036) the Chinese will have these TMSR plants popping up all over China.
Now here comes the scary part. Below here is the projection for Chinese consumption of fossil fuels over the next FIVE years. I have shown this chart not too long ago. Even without TMSR reactors, Chinese oil consumption is already slowing down. The chart shows that from 2027 - 28 onwards Chinese consumption of fossil fuels will start decreasing. China has invested heavily in solar energy, wind energy, hydro and other renewables. Plus their entire motor vehicle industry is switching to EV - which is more energy efficient.
So guess what is going to happen when the Chinese begin building TMSR reactors on a larger scale throughout China - after 2030.
Non Muslims can read this. Some general knowledge. Out of the 114 surahs or chapters in the Quran, chapter 36 is called Surah Yasin. This chapter has much significance because it is often recited during special occasions especially at funerals and when people visit the graves of their dearly departed. It is often recited as a prayer at the graves of the dead people.
However with the appearance of Salafism there is debate because the Salafis do not practise the reciting of the Surah Yasin at funerals or at the graves of dead people.
Of course the vast majority of non-Arab Muslims do not understand Arabic and so they do not understand what they are reciting in Arabic.
Here are a few verses from Surah Yasin (36:60-64) with English translation.
60 Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan—indeed, he is to you a clear enemy?
61 And that you worship only Me? This is a straight path. 52 And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason? 63 This is the Hellfire which you were promised. 64 Enter it today because you disbelieved.
This is part of the recitation at funerals and at the graves of the dearly departed.
