Today I got a holler telling me the news at 1:30pm stated that Datuk Shahrir Samad (domestic trade and consumer affairs minister) agreed to increase the dealer's commission by 12%++. I'm not sure about this because I don't even have a TV to begin with, and I doubt the commentary is going to be put on YouTube anytime soon.
Bottom line is there will be no strike (yes, slightly disappointed, this could've been a turning point in Malaysia's history). The national newspapers are informing people that the strike is a hoax while some just bluntly warn the free people that they will beexecuted prosecuted if they spread more rumors about it (like this Bernama post). A couple of things are still being conspired in the head;
1. Is it true the ministry's agreement prevented the strike
2. The media helps cover up the mess by telling people it's a hoax
3. The strike was to divert attention from Sabah's BN break-up
4. The rumor was sparked to increase the expensive fuel sales
5. There was no strike at all
Since there's so many parties telling different stories and the government's lack of transparency (seriously are we doing good or bad?), those things above will linger around for a while, until another 'rumor' starts to spread and panics the people nationwide. Just another thing to keep you awake at night besides thinking about finals results.
Last words to end the post:
Malaysian politics, racial apartheid[?] and feudalistic ideologies[?] are hurting the country's growth. We are already decades behind Japan... and the government owes me something from their One Home One PC campaign[?] in 2004...
