Asia’s Wildlife Trade

The journal “Asia’s Wildlife Trade” published at National Geographic Magazine, Jan 2010 was really catch my eyes. It is story about the illegal wildlife trade/trafficking by a Malaysian, Anson Wong. Here are the highlights and points that I would like to share.

1. Anson Wong was named the world’s most wanted smuggler of endangered species.
2. Anson assured that they had nothing to fear from Malaysian authorities.
3. Said Anson, “I’ve the second man of customs bring him out of the airport…”
4. “I can get anything here from anywhere… …nothing can be done to me”
5. “When he (Anson) was in prison, he wrote me letters. He bribed his way. They treated him like a king”
6. And here is the last paragrapgh: Last Aug, Misliah (the Malaysia Perhilitan’s officer) responded to allegations of a corruption relationship between her department and Anson Wong “as far as Malaysia is concerned, he abides by local laws and has necessary licenses,” she said “What he does outside the country IS NOT OUR CONCERN.”

I was shock while reading this article. Never ever know that the most wanted smuggler is from my country, the comments to Malaysian authorities by outsider, and so SHAME TO MALAYSIAN AUTHORITIES CORRUPTIONS!

在 `小新 评论 `大马“救市”主

颓废了一阵子，我AhhJohn又回来了。原本也不打算这么快更新部落格的，可是，今天的新闻头条，不由得我不复出讲一两句心里话。

今天新闻头条《政府推出600億救市》。看到了吗？我国出现了“救市”主啊~

600億。请恕我还真不懂这笔数目到底有多大，能填饱多少人的肚子；建多少条桥、几个发展；能买几辆车。。。但是，是白痴的听到600億，都能估计它惊人的数额，或开始在想600億有多少个零“0”。

今天，我送“600億救經濟破紀錄 今年財赤料從4.8%增至7.6%”一个字。。。“呸！”

我看了好多好多的新闻都没正确的透露，到底这600億会在这两年内放在什么大用途/计划上（还是我看露了什么？？）。以我所知的，政府忙着拨款、减税、优惠措施。试问，这一切都真正有效刺激经济成长么。对，我说的是经济成长，而且特别强调“成长”二字。

我个人以为，这600億的救市只是短暂性，而且没有效率。原因：

1. 不够透明化，600億到底用到了哪里去？
2. 不足以刺激大经济，只能短期帮助GDP成长
3. 偏帮
4. 不注重宏观经济macro economy成长

试问这又怎么能刺激经济呢？

至古以来，我们华人；犹太、西方人做生意就是以一元赚取五元、五元赚取二十五元。还从没听说做不赚钱的生意能发达的。这个连五岁小孩子都懂得道理，为什么根本都没在这第一计划里看到呢？？

买车回扣RM5k，政府赚多少？对中、下阶级的人民利益有多少？就靠这“优惠”普腾生产率能增加百分之几？

请政府顾虑unemployment失业率、inflation通货膨胀、national income国家经济来源、 investment投资。我们的经济需要的是成长，不光是帮帮忙！

孤单情人节

原本还有一支红酒，现在只剩一瓶香槟。

这一瓶香槟，到最后会与谁共饮。。。或者是自己独吞。。。

***很可恶！为什么偏偏要在情人节前夕收到这么样的礼
