The whole world has announced stimulus packages to minimise the impact of the impending global depression on their economies. Being the only country in the world not affected by the global crisis, Malaysia is taking her own sweet time to announce the second stimulus package, after a confident finance minister had said that the economy is resilient and will withstand the storm. How much can you trust someone who changes his mind twice every second?

Now that the Finance Minister has admitted that the country’s economy is in bad shape, he’s still dragging his feet on the matter. And what is he doing in the meantime? Well, according to some, he was busy luring members of the opposition to switch their allegiance and defect to Barisan Nasional, especially in the states which are not controlled by the ruling party.

He asks for patience. Time and tide waits for no man, not even the PM-in-waiting of the country.

For goodness sake, do your job and stop the politicking. Enough is enough. If you don’t have the time or ability to do this, just resign. There are plenty of apolitical experts who can do the job - don’t drag the whole country down with you…
