Peringatan untuk aku yang selalu lupa


سُوۡرَةُ آل عِمرَان

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغۡ قُلُوبَنَا بَعۡدَ إِذۡ هَدَيۡتَنَا وَهَبۡ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحۡمَةً‌ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡوَهَّابُ


[3:8] (Mereka berdo'a): "Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau jadikan hati kami condong kepada kesesatan sesudah Engkau beri petunjuk kepada kami, dan karuniakanlah kepada kami rahmat dari sisi Engkau; karena sesungguhnya Engkau-lah Maha Pemberi (karunia)".

How to solve the economic problem?

Well, I guess, there will be more interesting development in the Malaysian politics as the days goes by... The new Cabinet indeed have received a mix reviews from all walks of life in Malaysia. But before we forget, the real issue for the people on the street is not about who will get to have all the perks of being the Menteri and Timbalan Menteri, but more on how we can solve the economics problem? How we can ensure that the man on the street has something to eat and have a better life...

So how we are going to address the economic problems? Maybe we can start by highlighting some of the basic economic problems.... Since the PAS manifesto to create a Welfare Government, maybe we can suggest how this can be done.... Since I am not an economic graduate, but rather an engineering graduate, I may not be able to understand fully of the economic theory, but in Engineering, we really like problems, it is our bread and butter. One of the goal of any engineering discipline is to identify the problems, understand the problems so we can offer the solutions...

Engineering is the science of simplifying things to the benefit the world. Look at the car that we drive, be it Mercedes, BMW, Proton, Perodoa, Alado or whatever its brand... Try to have a peek at the engine and you can see how comprehensively complicated the engine can be... There are many components and many designs.. But what really interesting is that, the engineers have really make in simple that by steeping on the acceleration pedal, the car will move.... People always forget how difficult to design a car, since it is very easy to drive one.

So coming back to the economy, let identify the basics...

1. In today world, money have become the necessary tools for living. Maybe there still exist barter trading, but it is not widely practice anymore. We need money to buy our clothes, to buy food, to buy almost everything, but what is money? Money is suppose to be a tool to facilitate the barter trading, a piece of papers with a certain value, which has nowadays becoming a commodity by itself..... To earn money, basically you need to work, or to sell something, or to offer something that is equivalent to the value of money...

Well it sound rather a simple process... To earn money, you need to produce something that is equivalent to the value of money... Well, I guess, this is not simple stuff, and I am definitely may not be able to discuss the solutions in one articles..... But in the mean time, I am open to suggestions...... Maybe we can really solve the economic problems and grab some noble prize along the way.....

BTW, MAN U open a three point gaps on top of Barclays Premeire League... thanks to the two goal from the magnificient Ronaldo... He already scores 33 goal in all competitions and have already beaten the 40 year old record of George Best......
