New-NEP

The Global economic crisis has hit the world harder this year. You may have heard of this joke from the 1997/98 economic crisis.


God decided that the time has come and this world should come to an end. So God called upon the 3 world leaders; President Bill Clinton of USA, Zhang Zhi Ming Communist Party President and Premier of China, and most of all.. Prime Minister Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir.
God told the world leaders that the world would end in 3days.. and commanded them to convey that message to their respective people.

Bill Clinton said to the US people " I have good news and bad news. The good news is that God spoke to me, the bad news is that the world will end in 3 days."

Zhang Zhi Ming said : " I have bad news and worse news. The bad news is, there is such a thing as God. The worse news is that the world will end in 3 days"

Dr. M told the Malaysians : " I have good news and even better news. The good news is that God spoke to me. The better news is that our economic crisis will end in 3 days!! "


********* END OF JOKE *********



Here is something I thought of earlier today. As the heat of the economic meltdown kicks in in 2009, the Malaysian Government has introduced various plans and schemes to tackle it.

However, some say that it isn't very effective in boosting the economy. As some of us know that the population of Malaysia is 27.7 million. What if we hooked up with some of the 3rd-world countries or should we say the poorer ones... and introduce a scheme whereby say.. One Million Malaysians (the ones which are hit the hardest by the crisis) migrate there and start a new life and perhaps start a little enterprise..

Assuming each of the One Million brings along RM 5000.. there would be 5 Billion Ringgit... it means 10 Trillion Ruppiah or 9.5 Billion Yuan or 37 Billion Rupees. A real boost for their economies.


Then we one way or another, get one million Matsalleh fellas from The US of A to migrate here. Those guys who just can't make ends meet living on the dough why not? say each person brings USD 5000.. That's about 17 Billion Ringgit pumped into our economy.


PS: One million more in a third world country won't make much of a difference and vise versa for the first world countries.


Does that not help the crisis globally?


Hmmmpm.. watcha say about the NEW-NEP ??
