If all these goons could not see this coming, I wonder what made them experts to utter such ridiculous nonsense.

2nd finance minister: Malaysia not in recession yet;

PM: Malaysia in a technical recession. Ohh.. But don’t worry we have the expertise to face the global financial crisis.

Such profound financial observation by 2 experts. Globally the financial crisis has struck many countries but those countries are willing to admit it. In Malaysia we categorically deny everything. No wonder we are slipping further away thanks to our superior brilliance.

Straits Times – May 28, 2009
Malaysia faces worse recession

PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia) - MALAYSIA expects a deeper recession this year, with its export-dependent economy likely to shrink between 4 and 5 per cent, Prime Minister Najib Razak said on Thursday.

The government had previously forecast the economy to contract 1 per cent in Malaysia's first recession since 1998.

Mr Najib, who is also finance minister, said the government had to revise the figure due to 'very weak external demand' that has hit the country's exports.

Gross domestic product slumped by a sharper-than-expected 6.2 per cent in the first quarter from a year earlier, as exports plummeted 25 per cent and private investment fell 26 per cent, he said. The economy also shrank from the previous quarter, marking its first quarterly contraction in eight years.
Mr Najib said the new GDP forecast was 'realistic' unless the global financial crisis becomes even more protracted.

The central bank has said the economy's slump in the first quarter was largely due to a 17.6 per cent contraction in manufacturing, as electrical and electronics exports plunged amid weak global demand. GDP shrank 7 per cent from the fourth quarter.

Construction was the only sector of the economy to expand in the first quarter, growing 0.6 per cent due to new commercial and residential developments.

Mr Najib said the government would accelerate the implementation of projects under fiscal stimulus measures totaling RM67 billion (S$27 billion).

He said the government plans to further loosen guidelines for foreign investors under its economic liberalisation plans, but didn't say when this will be announced. Malaysia has recently liberalised part of its services sector to boost the economy.

Mr Najib reiterated that Malaysia's banking sector was 'not only healthy but resilient and flushed with liquidity'.

Moody's Investors Services recently placed nine Malaysian banks on review for possible downgrade of their deposit and debt ratings. -- AP

This is what I posted last year in reaction to Datuk Kong Cho Ha's comments -

Inflation in Malaysia is at a 27 year high, and the half past six government of the day tells us that everything is OK
they must have been taking economics lessons from Mr.Bean.

To make matters worse thay have cut interest rates, this could push us into deflation, which will be harder to come out if than inflation.

This ostrich needs a good kick in the arse.

datuk kong -do us all a favor -go to kinokuniya and buy yourself- an economics for dummies guide.
