There is a need for greed in this post-colonial British country. It is the need for greed at a high speed that is killing the rakyat/masses fast.
From the need to monopolize plantations, public works companies, investment brokerages, private hospitals, television stations, media conglomerates, satellites beaming 100 channel televisions that turn kampong folks into soap-opera and Bollywood junkies, right up to airlines that need newer landing grounds that will also turn surrounding areas into Disneylands -- Malaysians are now addicted the fascination of monopolizing.
The game MONOPOLY by Parker Brothers must have been a good socializer to the idea that monopolizing and being greedy is good. For decades the ideology of monopolizing has shaped the consciousness of Malaysians and monopolizers are considered heroes of the Malaysian-styled laissez faire world of corporate-crony-crypto capitalism. There is even a Malaysian version of the game MONOPOLY that is based on the cities of Cyberjaya and Putrajaya.
MONOPOLY killed America and many other nations. The capitalist world is collapsing under its own weight.
In Malaysia, the game is "rent-seeking" monopoly and of "interlocking directorateships" especially in the GLCs government-linked companies.
The rakyat/masses are merely spectator happy to read about first Malaysian billionaires, world-class Malaysian companies, and who's who in the Malaysian corporate world.
The rakyat are happy that they now can fly cheap, that they are reading about how famous Malaysia is as a great "medical tourism" destination, and which Bollywood star will get a Datuk Seri-ship.
We are a nation, like Sisyphus -- imagining ourselves happy. In a country where the few monopolizes and the need for greed is growing at a great speed. It is as if the few wants to plunder the nation as fast as they can before the entire country, like the story of Firaun/Pharaoh and Qarun in the ancient scriptures, is swallowed by the weight of power, arrogance, and wealth accumulated.
God Bless my country -- right or wrong.
But the rakyat must rise against the greedy few.

SORRY, BUT EVEN OUR FOREFATHERS HAVE BEEN DUPED
Wonder why we locals take more chillies than spices?
How come spices are favoured the world over
- not just to preserve foodstuffs in Magribi, Timbuktu, Egypt, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Lebanon, the whole of Arabia, the land of Pakis & Mumbais, even Kerala all the way right up to China..
- just look at their menu with all their fill of tasty spices and herbs from the East Indies
.. yet Melayu go eat cencalok, budu, ulam & pekasam
generously giving away sampan loads of all their chengkih, lada sula & kayu manis to their Rulers & Pembesars for next to nothing not knowing their true worth
[who cleverly trade them for permata potong permata dan kain bermacam persalinan - not just from the Gujeratis may I add]
.. even the Jawa would go for bakso & ayam pepet penyek dipping them in more squashed chillies to flavour plain water air rebusan
No, I doubt its all due to Gajah Mada's Sumpah Palada
Believe me, We have been duped!
Since the Day Dato Naning & Haji Pengkalan Kempas lost to paid armies, kins of Deo Daran Singh - Imported Indentured Labours have Monopolised the Opening of Malaya
In return for 2 - 5% of acreages of Tanah Melayu which they eagerly collateralised to banks they control
Strategised by Malacca United
Who brought in Hakkas Foo Chow Seng Keks who monopolised the "rent seeking" British with legalised licenced businesses ranging from Madat, Mahjong & "Big Double D Papaya" 'Farms'
to Secret Societies who transform into Monopolies of every commodity you could retail -- rice, sugar, wheat, simin, batu, pasir, kayu, caterpillar excavators, motor lorries & vehicles & what else
They are there
Entrenched
Still there
Please, even the GLCs can't kill these Monopolies and their greedy cohorts who live off them
Who dare get in the way of the Pembesars True Rulers of the Majority - their Lord Protector who brought them in
No propaganda could stir any Oppressed Serf to rise like the French or British Working Class to loudly object to bailouts of greedy bank owners who are granted the monopoly to create fiat money to lend to Corporate Keparats
None of their monetised Collateralised Debt Obligations helped raised any workers' wages despite spiraling debts and rising living costs
Thank all for the plastic noone lives without
soon plastic will implode
Helleluya
Hail Dajjal
Coming soon
Next change
More for Sissy pus -- who imagine themselves happy like Firaun/Pharaoh and Qarun before being swallowed by the weight of power, arrogance, and wealth accumulated:
I posted this last time
Abraham is but 1900 - 2000 years Before Jesus' 1st Appearance.
Wouldn't His Second Coming to complete his Mission not be 2000 years thereafter you reckon?
--
P.S. Moses who led Jew Slaves out of Egypt is 600 years after Abraham
WHO IS 600 YEARS AFTER JESUS?
--
P.P.S 600 years before Jesus :
Iskandar Zulkarnain aka Darius The Great, Founder of Persia/Iran, freed the Jews who were slaves of Babylon
He helped them rebuilt their 2nd Temple - later demolished by the Romans who drove them off again
He also blocked the advent of Gog & Ma Gog ..
why ignore these tell tale timelines?
THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN MONOPOLISED BY THE FEW
Bush Jr. is not the first Bush to get "hands on" involved in shaping the lending industry to his will.
Many know that one of this brothers, Neil, was part of a spectacular Savings & Loan failure in the 1980s.
What far fewer people are aware of is how deeply the CIA, organized crime and, George Bush Sr. were involved in the Savings & Loan disaster which caused US taxpayers and estimated trillion dollars plus.
The term of art for these kinds of operations is a "bust out."
The scam works as follows:
an organized crime group takes over a business, borrows as much as it can in the business' name, fails to pay vendors and then disappears with all the cash.
The Bush family and its associates in organized crime and the CIA have figured out how to run this scam on a multi-hundred billion dollar level using the entire US banking system as its playground.
Who is the close associate of George Bush Sr. who COLLABORATED WITH the Bush crime syndicate to deregularise banks, brokerages, hedge funds and insurance companies?
Bill Clinton

Plagarised from The Independent On Sunday
Deglobalisation: What is it? And why Britain should be scared
By Sean O'Grady
So the British are in deeper shit:
Only £17 in every £100 that the nation produces are derived from goods and services sold abroad
– way behind the exceptional German figure of 30 per cent,
– surprisingly some way ahead of Japan (10 per cent), and the relatively insular and huge US economy (7 per cent).
The City of London is an obvious example of foreign labour and capital flowing freely and, until recently, was capable of generating huge wealth.
Not any more
Virtually the whole of UK electricity supply and water utilities are owned by German, French and other foreign entities.
Many of the high street banks are owned by the Spanish Santander group.
Leading car makers are Japanese, German, Indian and American – and they export 80 per cent of their output, having sucked British power supplies subsidised by poor suckers
Even the Post Office will be half-owned by the Dutch.
There's also Heathrow, an international hub.
Tourism and the creative industries, are both global trades.
Look too at the Polish and Lithuanian builders and potato pickers.
Nigerian taxi drivers and South African nurses all of whom have provided a net benefit to the British economy. Their contribution to lowering the cost of living and maintaining the NHS is scarcely noticed, let alone praised.
Not to mention the emergence of chicken tikka masala and chop suey fried rice as the Brits’ national dish.
As the calls for "British Jobs for British Workers" grow more strident, one should calmly reflect on how well Anglicised Malaysians have done copying their Colonial Masters’ Open, Cosmopolitan, Globalised footsteps and ways since Mahathir, or was it even before Lee Kuan Yew.
