A stoic Silence pervades.
oil rises
Dollar falls.
Oil down.
Dollar up.
This is the mantra chanted by analysts every day for the past six months.
Mantras chanted with fervour spel miracles.
A magical wand is essential to restore economy.
Dollar’s frequent fall is not a healthy sign.
It has been overexposed and over spent.
An alternate currency should become the titular head.
The pride and wealth of a family are lost by the greed of a member.
This particular constituent adopted all ways and means to loot his parents, siblings, and workforce
Sorcery,cheating, black magic, were practised. by him and his wife.
He resorted to false accounting.
He desisted from fulfilling statuatory obligations
He ,not only deceived his family, but also the banks, depositors and business traders.
He filled his coffers.,by all sorts.
Avariciousness made him inhuman.
Many of his co parceners met a tragic end.
His business associates were unable to refrain him.
Unbailable warrants were issued. against him
He went underground.
He had to come out of hiding for his daughter’s wedding.
The warrants became live.
He was remanded to custody and imprisoned.
In the process, the family lost the father, the business collapsed,the debtors were all around.
An educational institution run by the family’s trust was taken by the government.
The particular member has still not learnt a lesson.
He is sill greedy.
Habits die hard.
Making much ado about nothing is the fashion of the day.
Acceptance of reality is a rarity.
Politicians dig insignificant incidents but bury the most impromptu affairs.
.Banks squeeze genuine defaulters ,but embrace wilful counterparts.
Institutions accept low scorers with financial back up. but disregard high rankers with poor back ground.
Business encourages men with no integrity, but dissuades personalities with sincerity.
Employers are pleased with Yes Men, but disappointed with constructive critics.
The incongruities of the human mind is inexplicable.
Tales provide pleasure.but experience supplies wisdom.

The consumer price index rose by 3.9 month by month and 7.7 year by year.

Bank Negara is monitored by the government.
Tightening credits will bring down inflation.
Industries and plantation will feel the pinch.
Political uncertainty is also pulling down the financials.
The trace of global slowdown is reflected in Malaysia’s economical digressions
I happened to read a column that women’s jobs are more vulnerable during down turn.
A ridiculous reporting.
Does job displacement single out women?
Both man and woman should be bread winners. A woman’s income is not a supplement but a necessity.
The gender fixation is still dominant in a male chauvinistic world.
Recession is driving us mad.
inflation is making us madder still.
Job cuts demoralise us.
We are feeling insecure.
Reporters go by statistics.
Bank’s debacle has envisaged maximum job cuts.
Most women are thrown out of work.
Banks are slowly reequipping under regulators.
Women will adapt to changing circumstances with ease.
No need to panic
Textile industry is losing its shine.
Three highs have sealed the fate of the industry.
Wages High
Raw material cost are very high.
Power cost is equally high.
To redeem the industry from distress certain reforms are to be introduced.
Tax breaks,interest rebates,and a fresh dose of sops will help the industry to come out of the blue.
The recent hike in interest rate by reserve bank of India is adding misery to the textile sector.
Many mills have announced closure.
The properties are up for sale.
Manufacturing is becoming awesome.
A negative sign to industrial growth indeed!!
Gold is sliding rapidly.
The epidemic fall is beyond comprehension.
Is a big debacle ahead?
Oil is pulling gold with it.
All predictions of gold rising above 1000$ have gone bust.
DRT is the acronym of Debt recovery tribunal.
This tribunal is very active in recent times.
It was first located in the four metropolis of india ,Delhi, mumbai Kolkatta and chennai.
At prsent it has its branches in most of the cities in India.
The increase in offices is an indicator to the rise of defaulting companies.
Defaulters can be classified as wilful, and natural.
Almost every day we can see advertisements posted by DRT in news papers.
The judgement is mostly in favour of the financial institutions.
Corporates, small business are not spared by DRT.
Most deserving cases are totally ignored.
The merits of the case is not taken into account.
The story of a the genuine defendant is suppressed.
Th financial institutions have a upper hand.
The natural defaulters are furthermore squeezed.
The DR T’s are Shylock’s of the modern era
A pound of flesh is their motto.
Harassment meted out to genuine defaulters should be restricted.
Compassionate approach should be present.
The tribunal should find out the reason for such failures .
Remedial measures are to be worked out.
Such that the rise in non performing assets could be contained.
The much battered industrial sector will thrive , if only such practices are enforced.
Oil palm looks grand with gold fruits ,massive in size with a black tough exterior.
I was amazed at the sight of an oil palm plantation.
Malaysia is puncuated by dense palm trees.
The vast stretches pose an awesome view.
Oil palm is Malaysia’s cash crop.
The trees are harvestd every fortnight.
Hauling of fruits is done methodically.
I watched the process in rapt attention.
The Indonesian squad is deft and skilful in hauling the fruits,,
The gathering of fruits and loading them provide a feast to the eyes.
Oil palm plantation requires lesser workforce, lesser care ,than rubber.
Fresh fruit bunches ‘ price rose to 817 RM /Tonne during mid march.
True to the word Black Gold is as valuable as yellow gold.
