After languishing lifelessly around USD50, the oil price now is showing some upbeat momentum, climbing steadily and now reaching the USD70++ and may be it will test the USD80 psychological barrier... Well, our country has just announce a economic fall of around 4.0% - 6.0% and that is not very encouraging... If the price of oil continue to rise and our economic continue to post a negative growth, then it may suggest that we are heading for a gloomy recession period.... Is there any positive news on the economy? I am a bit worried since there is no clear indication on the way that our country economy is moving.... Despite the continuous construction development that I see around the country, it is hard to imagine that there has been a negative economic growth for the country...
I have always found the economics "facts" can present a very mixed "perception" which can be misleading or misinterpret and causes people to get confused. For instance, the oil market should be good when it is low, because people can create more activities since oil is a major commodity that fuel the business world. People depend on oil to go around and to import and export goods and things, but the oil prices sometimes is being viewed as a indicator of the economic activities... But at the time of "recession", when there are still reports that more and more companies and people are getting into trouble economically, oil prices seems to continue to find its bullish momentum and steadily climbing up.... 6 months ago, in December 2008, the oil price dropped to around USD30++ and steadily climbing up to around USD40++ in Jan 2009 - March 2009 and now, its upward trend seems to suggest that the oil price has become very volatile and maybe this is another speculative trends rather than fundamentals.
Well, are we going to see another "panic" decision by the government this year with regards to the oil prices? Last year, the oil price issue was very "hot" that even the government and opposition has been debating on mainstream televised forum to counter the oil price issue. As I see it, the March 08 GE result has been charting a very different political scenarios lately in the peninsular with the alternative parties has been gaining grounds and popularity. The political "turmoil" in Perak also has a very "defining" impact on people perception and inclination towards the politics.... People who used to be a fence sitter are taking the issue seriously and many are making clear of their views...
With reports of major companies are having difficulties and many countries have been severely affcted by the economic recession, and with the concerning Malaysian economic performance, what will be our initiative? I always believe in working hard and when the going get tough, I think, it is alway important that we must always work harder, put that extra sweat and put effective effort to get things going.
Well, i guess the phrase "working harder" is also a very subjective issue.... What does "work harder" really mean actually? People can always have different perception or different perspective on "hard working"... but I think as long as our "extra" effort lead to a better results, that it should be the right thing to do..
well... gotta go now.... Got to put that extra effort and got to work harder ....
