If you thought that the ruling party was doing everything it can to help the people overcome the burden of the worldly economic slowdown, then think again: outgoing Malaysian PM Abdullah Badawi now connects policies merely to winning more votes in the upcoming by-elections:
Abdullah was concerned that public anger over the latest hike could affect Barisan National’s popularity especially ahead of three crucial by-elections.
Meaning the price hikes are for sure to come, most likely right after the by-elections…
Luckily we MM2H-holders are not allowed to get into Malaysian politics, since we all have a long term view of how to relate positively to the Malaysian people. A long term view seemingly doesn’t stand a chance when it comes to Malaysian voters.
