At Midnight Tonight Adieu 2015

At Midnight Tonight Adieu 2015!

At midnight tonight, adieu 2015!
Tonight we bid goodbye to this current year that is 2015,
For most Malaysians it has been a tumultuous year alright…
Can’t rightly recall in fine details all the turbulent times we’ve had…
But trust me, all over Malaysia we Malaysians have had a hell of a ride!

At midnight tonight, adieu 2015!
Do recall, as Malaysians, there was  the worse mother-of-all floods in early 2015… 
This  horrendous mass flooding crippled all the East Coast states early this year…
A parting gift courtesy of the preceding year,  these were the annual monsoon floods ....
Tens of thousands were displaced, some families in Kelantan are still feeling  it there….

At midnight tonight, adieu 2015!
All Malaysians today are increasingly burdened by one single act passed on 1st April 2015…
For weeks as preamble, countless roadshows across the nation served to prepare all Malaysians..
The impending  Goods Service Tax at 6% will lower down prices, it is good for this nation., 
Till today, that simplistic logic of a lowered tax, has drastic reversed effects  across the nation…
