Politics aside, do you know how bad Malaysia's economy is now?Feb 13, 2012
(Courtesy of MyNameIsRayChong) No malaysian should be deprived of this info on Malaysia's actual economy condition. This clip illustrates : - how your granny in her 70s era earn more than a current graduate now - a car in Malaysia cost you double the price an american would pay for his although the american salary is mutiple times higher - a house in the 70s would require a fresh grad 4 years to pay off instalment but today for the same house, it'd take 28years! (US current standard is still 4 years) ... and etc. Minding your own business will not save your rice bowl anymore. So do remember to make your vote count for the next general election.

Prof. Ha-Joon Chang: Malaysia Should Return to its Manufacturing RootsDec 19, 2011
Development Economics Professor at Cambridge University, Ha-Joon Chang, spoke to Carla Sapsford Newman about his counter-intuitive recommendation that Malaysia should stick to its manufacturing roots to ensure future sustained growth. He discusses why, in his opinion, a shift towards a service-oriented economy is not in Malaysia's longer-term interests. He discusses some of the problems associated with service-oriented economies: rising wages, a brain drain, dependence on FDI from multinational companies and a dependence on a relatively small number of sectors which are more vulnerable to global economic conditions. He discusses why Budget 2012's liberalisation of 17 service sectors is the wrong direction for the country to be moving in

ABCs of Political Economy: Marxian Political Economy & Capitalist Development in AsiaJan 26, 2012
The Second Segment of 'Marxian Political Economy & Capitalist Development in Asia' by Vamsi Vakulabharanam until my batteries ran out. I missed the First Segment as I was at the Civil Societies Award 2011. This lecture focusses on the key issues of: How Capitalism is Unstable, ie always prone to Crises? If the present system is unjust and unstable, why do we still stick to the present system? Are there Alternatives out there? What does this mean for the Malaysian Political Economy? Why is Malaysia's economic policies still centered on the discourse of attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and increasing the service & financial sectors of the economy? Are these sound policies, given the crisis-prone nature of the present capitalistic system? How can we challenge some of these surviving neo-liberal ideology of free markets and privatization as the best forms for economic development in Malaysia? The Global Financial Crisis in 2008, the on-going Euro Sovereign Debt Crisis and the eruption of the Occupy Movement has returned the significance of Politics and Class to the once depoliticized realm of Economics.

Since the 1970's Sarawak has developed from a producer of raw materials into an emerging multi-sector economy. Malaysia plans to achieve high-income status by 2020, moving farther up the value-added production chain through investments in high technology industries, medical technology and pharmaceuticals. The current administration is continuing to increase domestic demand and to reduce the country's dependence on exporting. Electronic exports, however, remain a major driver of the Malaysian economy.
