“Dalam hubungan ini, bukan soal siapa lebih berkuasa antara eksekutif, kerajaan yang memerintah dan institusi raja-raja (tetapi) yang penting ialah raja-raja Melayu dan juga parti yang memerintah, mempunyai semangat untuk ’co-exist’ supaya kesejahteraan dan kedaulatan negara sentiasa terpelihara,”

Ini yang berlaku. .

Pepatah ada menyatakan, Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri. Pada udenikov, biarlah udenikov bermandi batuan, tetapi udenikov tetap berasa selamat, seronok, dan gembira dilahirkan di bumi bertuah Malaysia.

Pendek dan panjang pun kata, udenikov bersyukur kerana lahir sebagai anak jati Malaysia. Udenikov ingin berkongsi cerita... ekoran kenaikan harga minyak dan harga barang di seluruh pelusuk muka bumi.

Venezuela terkenal dengan hasil minyak yang begitu banyak sehingga mereka mampu mengeluarkan sehingga 5 juta tong sehari minyak.Memang banyak!!!

Tapi, itu dulu... kini mereka hanya mampu mengeluarkan kira-kira 2.5 juta tong sehari sahaja.

Kerajaan Venezuela memang dikenalai sebagai kerajaan yang mengamalkan konsep 'ingin menjadi popular' sebagai tindakan bertanggungjawab mereka. Inilah yang mendorong mereka menetapkan harga minyak sehingga 30 sen seliter. Ajaiblah kalau dah letak harga 30 sen seliter, tapi tak popular.

Selain itu, Kerajaan Venezuela juga tidak mengamalkan dasar pertanian. Mereka mengimport barang-barang makanan dari negara lain. Tetapi, sejak kebelakangan ini, Venezuela menerima tamparan paling hebat (pangggggg!!!!) apabila inflasi meningkat hampir saban tahun dari 20% hingga 30%.

Ini ditambahkan lagi dengan kadar pertukaran wang asing yang berbeza-beza antara pihak bank dan pasaran gelap. 1 bolivian - RM2, TAPI dalam black market boleh jd sehingga RM3 atau RM4.
Ekoran inflasi yang terlalu tinggi, pada hari ini RM800 dibelanjakan untuk 4 orang menikmati makanan. Mahal seh. Inilah akibat terlalu bergantung kepada pembelian dari luar negara khususnya Colombia. Kenaikan di peringkat global menyebabkan Kerajaan Venezuela semakin parah dan yang pasti rakyat mereka terus menderita.

Begitulah, dasar ingin menjadi POPULAR yang diamalkan Kerajaan Venezuela yang ternyata memakan diri sendiri. Janganlah kita yang aman damai dengan limpahan rezeki dari Allah ingin sama-sama menjadi seperti mereka.

Kenaikan harga minyak dan barang memang tak dapat dielakkan. Kita memang merungut, tak merungut memang tak ada perasaan. Tetapi, JANGAN SAMPAI HILANG IMAN DAN SYUKUR. Biarlah selesa bermandi batuan, daripada merana bermandikan emas...

Saudara Udenikov,

Saudara ni cerita apa sebenarnya? Subsidi, pertanian, inflasi atau defisit imbangan pembayaran? Dapatkah saudara nafikan bahawa akan berlaku "domino effect" akibat kenaikan harga minyak?

Pengunaan petrol sehari saya sebelum ini RM30. Dengan kenaikan 40% bermakna penggunaan petrol saya menjadi RM42. Ini bermakna saya kena tambah RM12, iaitu belanja makan tengahari untuk saya dan isteri. Jadi, tengahari kena puasa!

Disamping itu janganlah ambil contoh Venezuela, ambillah Arab Saudi. Takkan orang politik macam saudara tak tahu, Venezuela tu kan kena sekatan ekonomi dari Amerika Syarikat. Takkan JASA nak cong saya, rakyat biasa ni?

Apa pula reaksi saudara pada komen yang dipetik dari blog TDM seperti di bawah: (?)

Just shows you how shortsighted and incompetent is AAB.....and in his own words 'greedy'.His greed led him to put rakyat's interest of less importance compared to accumulating wealth for his beloved KJ and respective cronies.
AAB has shown blatant disrespect to Tun's experienced and thoughtful leadership, henceforth AAB IS the 'THORN' in Malaysia's progress towards becoming a developed and prosperous nation.End result- the rakyat of Malaysia who suffers.
Last but not least below is a nice simple 'story' forwarded by my colleague. Tun thank you again and take care.

The story about Subsidy

A man called CheDot owns a farm which can produce 10 apples every day.
He has 5 workers to operate the farm.
Each of them eats 1 apple daily and it is enough to keep them operating the farm normally.
The remaining 4 apples, the landlord sells them at RM10 each and he earns RM40.
He uses the RM25 to improve the farm operation and facilities.
He gives RM2.00 to each of his workers and he keeps the remaining RM5.00 as profit.
Day by day, the farm is well developed and all of the 5 workers are happy with the money they can save.

When CheDot retired, a new landlord, PokLeh comes to continue the farm operation.
He says to the workers: "We need to improve the farm quality and redefine our way of thinking.
From now on all of you only need to pay RM1.00 for each apple you eat.
It is very cheap as the price is RM10 each outside the farm."

The workers have no choice but to pay RM1.00 for the apple they eat daily.
Their earning decrease from RM2.00 to RM1.00 per person.
As usual, PokLeh sells the 4 apples and he gets RM40.
He uses RM25 for farm improvement and pays RM10 to his 5 workers.
He gets RM5.00 as profit. On top of that, he gets another RM5.00 from the apples that he sells to his workers.
In total, he gets RM10 as profit every day.

Soon, the apple price increases to RM20 each.
The new landlord gets a higher profit as he gets RM80 for the 4 apples he sells daily.
Then, he decides to give the farming improvement contract to one of his close friend, Samy..
Samy says:"Apple cost naik, improvement cost also misti naik."
So, the farm improvement cost increases from RM25 to RM50.
In actual, the improvement only cost RM30.
The remaining RM20, PokLeh and Samy share evenly among themselves.

Let's calculate how much PokLeh gets daily:

RM10 (from farm improvement cost)
RM20 (Net profit by selling 4 apples: [Gross profit, RM80] ?
[Improvement cost, RM50] ? [Wages RM10] = RM20)
RM5 (from selling apples to his workers)

In total, PokLeh gets RM35 daily compare to RM10 initially when he takes
over the farm from CheDot.
His profit increases RM25 and the workers are still getting RM1.00 daily
per person.

The greedy PokLeh does not want to stop there.
One day, he says to his fellow workers:" You see ah, the current
market price for one apple is RM20 and you are only paying RM1.
See how lucky you are! I have to SUBSIDY RM19.00 for each of the apple
you buy and total I need to SUBSIDY RM95.00.
This will greatly burden the farm and we might get bankrupt if we continue like this.
In order to avoid bankruptcy, I need to increase the apple price that you
buy from RM1.00 to RM1.50 and I will bare the remaining RM18.50 per apple as my subsidy to you all. "

So, greedy PokLeh adds RM2.50 to his current profit and the number
becomes RM37.50.

After you have read the story, I am sure you have already understood
the meaning of a 'SUBSIDY' given by the BN government.
The RM95 subsidy was never existed in the first place and so was the
RM52 billion fuel subsidy generously 'given' by the BN government..

Cutting fuel subsidy is actually just a reason to steal money from your pocket.

saudara azlan,

saya merasakan saudara mungkin tidak perasan. mungkin pada hemat saya. Isu yang cuba udenikov ketengahkan adalah isu sikap 'ingin menjadi popular' dan sikap 'tanggungjawab'.
