So...the price of petrol, has increased...purchase of rice and oil has gone up...nothing went down...except for my savings in the bank account...
But no worries, people!!...our Malaysian government has our welfare in mind!!...They increase our electricity charges, which leads to cement retail price raised, due to price increase in petrol (transportation) and electricity...They give us cash rebate of RM625 per renewal of road tax, as petrol pocket money...to help us cover the whopping RM7000 (estimated price) we have to fork out a year for petrol...not including car maintenance...nor outstation traveling...cost of rice has shot up too...from RM11 to RM40...good...LOCAL made rice, and the price almost quadrupled...
Now, following the manufacturing of Proton Saga 20 years ago, (tin can design, with crappy 1970's Mitsubishi engine), Malaysia is now in the process of manufacturing our very own Malaysian made computer, MAK CIK, which will cost us no more than RM1000...cheap, you say??
Let me save you the hassle of clicking to the website, and just provide you with the specs here...taken from here, the official website...
And to add salt into the wound...MAK CIK in Malay language, actually means Aunty in English...best of all, the government are actually aware of it!!...Apparently, this oh-so-colourful-product-name is suppose to appeal to all house-users, and older generation...Honestly, I am not at all turned on...in fact, I'm horrified, to the insides of my bone...why not create a cooler name, that will appeal to citizens of all ages, like MyPC, etc?...
What image do you think the name AUNTY will create?...I can't imagine any guys/uncles purchasing that, do you??...besides, aunites give the image of a sweet, yet old lady...dawdling around, cleaning the living room...and cooking in the kitchen...Can you just imagine for a second, how an AUNTY computer would be?...probably takes me 30 minutes to start, random tempers hurled around which will require me to reboot...and the damn computer will want to clean out the dirt (virus, spywares) every 2 hours!!...who will ever want to endure such unstability??
Like what Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear would say...
"AMBITIOUS but utter RUBBISH!!"
Did I mention that MAK CIK is not even internationally recognized?

The Terengganu state forks out RM3.43 million to purchase 14 Mercedes E200 Compressor in exchange for the 16 local made car, Proton Perdana whom they claim cost them RM1.3 million a year, in repairs itself...All these
people, whom salaries and luxuries we citizens are paying...through our sorry arses and God knows what else...
