Ignorance Is Bliss

Ignorance Is Bliss Here in Malaysia things are happening and citizens are rather concerned.. Besides the regular petty crimes and stories of the juicy kind ... For the past year or so, this country has been embroiled in the 1MDB story..... Then there is the matter of Goods Service Tax applied across the country... Some folks are relatively unconcerned despite paying their income tax.. Hey, people! With the snowballing effects from Goods Service Tax.... Plus scandals galore involving the country and her deminishing wealth.... Everybody suffers, not just you and me, everyone you meet... Of course some smarter one are even making more money... Going by the government, it is just too bad it is not you or me.... And our ex PM is trying to do good despite his advanced years.... Not doing anything while he was PM and Najib was merely up and coming... A case of trying to close the barn doors after the horses have bolted... Crying bloody murder only when he found that the PM has a mind of his own... Now that he is a PM, Najib is in power and looks to be in control... Despite the many swirling accusations chipping away his reputation... The PM is firmly in control and cries out it is all political prosecution... On the ground, no wonder things are getting worse for the people.. The escalated cost of living with GST and large scale profiteering.. Depressed petroleum and rubber prices, we Malaysians are in trouble.... With accusing fingers being pointed at the PM from ruling government ... And so much vitriol and regular negative news about this goverment.... Local news today are not worth reading for being so depressing... And with the current political cat fighting, each political news is sickening... Maybe one can play ignorant and be unconcerned for Ignorance is Bliss... Malaysia Boleh.....
