During my life time I saw every Prime Minister being replaced by another politician for one reason or another. Dr Mahathir managed to stay the longest time of 22 years.

2021-07-20 20:47
I think if you plot a chart of mr koon's popularity over time u will see a clear downtrending chart!
2021-07-20 20:58
uncle... wanna kutip apa, just say la, we kutip together, so blatantly obvious that u want to press down the price

Actually i won't be surprised at all if Dow drop 10k soon! Just look at US President Biden! I mean, he basically doesn't know what he is talking about! Obviously a serious sign of mental degradation! Almost all his speeches fill up with mambo jumbo words that no human understand at all!
I mean, he said that poor kids are just as intelligent as any white kids! That really blew my mind! To think that Mat Sabu speeches are totally brainless but for US president to do the same, i think majority of US voters are much dumber than malaysian ones!
2021-07-21 00:15
Anyway, Dow seems to recoup all the losses yesterday! It just to show how Dow can go up dan down like yo yo! But i think Bursa is more predictable and stable! Bursa only head on direction and that's going south!

It's so fortunate that PN has only one competent minister like Khairy! If Harapan was in charge, honestly, you think by now we get adequate vaccine! Please, almost all task under Harapan gone down the drain! You have headless ministers trying t impress themselves only to shot themselves on the head!
And if Anwar Zahid power coup was successful, you honestly think overnight Anwar can get the vaccine! Trust me, you dear LGE will turn it into one big show cancelling all orders made by PN and restart new negotiation telling us rakyat that PN made billions from vaccine procurement! End of the day, we end up having no vaccine and new ones only to be delivered a year later for few million doses! And LGE will organise this huge publicly how Harapan got vaccine so cheap from Russia! Yeah, total whack job! Reminder of how Harapan 22 months was a total joke!

Old crook sold most of his shares last few weeks....

Very cheapskate one
2021-07-21 06:21
B40 sure would not like Harapan under M. So stingy to rakyat. Why M also gave Brim ? Because if he was not giving Brim would looked even more stingy. Stingy not for the sake of rakyat but personal interest, MAS, Proton, etc...
2021-07-21 07:25
Luckily M was not in power during covid, otherwise lots of money would pumped into MAS.

KLCI still ok as last night Dow has recovered 500++ points and also Dow future is up.
2021-07-21 07:29
@Tobby don't be like that to Mat Sabu lah. I met him one at airport bought him a cup of coffe and he can talk from earth to heaven for hour.
2021-07-21 07:35
Old man has lost his touch. Better enjoy retirement , read some books and smell the flowers.
2021-07-21 12:11
Please maintain your high esteem n no go down to personal attack, please.
Thanks.

This means uncles wants all stocks to get cheap sale so that he can buy cheap or he wants to claim trophy for selling early to boost his reputation for future keyboard goreng.
2021-07-21 14:26
Ah Koon, you sound like wanna telling us your mum is a woman, you dad is a man.
2021-07-21 17:15
This old man is talking rubbish. He never see Dow go up and down for 700 points before? He is sleeping all the while. Let me fire him.
2021-07-21 20:37
he is playing psychology method to create fear in the market so that people will sell cheap tickets to him. He wants to buy low sell high, and expects we buy high from him.
2021-07-21 20:43
This cunning old man expects everyone to follow him to sell down all shares. He better go and fly kite.

700points is pretty common. No need fear mongering.
