even if all other religion are placed in planet mars, they may attack from planet earth?

could it be that muslim can never live with any other religion?

very nicely said the guy, his BM chun!

This Khat thing will indirectly encourage non-bumis who are capable to migrate more determined to do so.

Its not just about religion...its plain useless to have these in the syllabus.

the future is renewable energy...and electric cars..

fuel will be as cheap as water

Millions of barrels of Iranian crude are sitting in Chinese ports — and could disrupt oil markets

AUG 2 2019

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/02/millions-of-barrels-of-iranian-crude-are-sitting-in-chinese-ports.html

Estimates as to the volume of Iranian crude that’s made its way to China between last January and May vary from 12 million to 14 million barrels, an amount that market watchers say could dramatically impact the price of oil.

“If China were to aggressively purchase Iranian crude oil and/or draw down on these stored volumes, oil prices would likely fall by $5.00 to $7.00 per barrel,” John Kilduff, founding partner of energy trading firm Again Capital, told CNBC on Thursday. “It would be a meaningful outlet for Iranian supplies that have been severely crimped by the sanctions.”

100% certain China will not listen to U.S and will continue purchase from Iran

OIL PRICE will COLLAPSE soon!

Azmin: US-China trade war presents opportunity to increase intra-Asean Trade

03 August 2019

https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2019/08/03/azmin-us-china-trade-war-presents-opportunity-to-increase-intra-asean-trade/1777318

GEORGE TOWN, Aug 3 — The protracted trade war between the US and China should be seen as an opportunity for Malaysia to play a role in increasing trade among Asean countries, said Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali.

Malaysia, according to him, should be more proactive by viewing the trade war, not as a crisis, but a good opportunity for the country.

“Many large companies from China and the US are relocating their operations to the (Asean) region including Malaysia because the Asean market is huge. We have 630 million people.

“If we combine China’s 1.4 billion population in the region alone, we have almost two billion population. So the market is huge. This means that Malaysia can be a gateway for them to penetrate the Asean market because the Asean market alone is too large,” he told the media when met after attending the key handing over ceremony of Casa Anggun Sungai Nibong Middle-Cost Apartments, here today.

at 10% tariff...i think there is no logic to trade..margin all wiped out..

we might as well take that as 100% trade divorce

...so then what? Nothing...

Construction industry still short of labour needs: MBAM

He disclosed that the industry needs 600,000 to 800,000 more workers in order to meet the estimated need of 1.2 million workers in the industry.

Basically with all the Mega projects including Bandar Malaysia...foreign worker will rise by at least 2 Million a year in 2020/21.

Thats equivalent to 4 million (to and fro trips) per year minimum.

Easily raise AA passenger volume by another 20% from foreign workers alone.

Estimated foreign workers by MBAM:

this mega project revival will boost budget airline trips for these labourers ma....market had really overlooked on whats happening close at home by looking far globally liao...

eggspurts come and go...if wrong prediction they go away..but this kind of cheap price not easy to get liao.....just keep topping up

it was a brilliant decision to payout dividends...i bet this money will flow back to the share price...as its from the same investors...their mind has only AA in its brain ..not FD for sure

the money has no other place to go

1) i have a feeling price of FUEL will be down permanently...North pacific ocean mind boggling distance was the major fuel consumer for china - U.S transportations...it will be down permanently due to global trade war...

(In fact, Trade war will encourage all business management to insist on trips via budget airlines compared to premiums...for cost savings..for survival of their business. Trade war will benefit budget airlines)


(2) the above FUEL COST is the single largest factor that would ensure you keep getting Dividends from this stock...

forget about the share Price...

whatever tax effects will eventually be transferred to passengers...this cost obviously not going to dampen the rise in passengers (18%) we are seeing

3.2% return at FD is not that attractive

especially when you know oil price is going to collapse

AirAsia Group carries 18% more passengers in 2Q19

July 23, 2019

https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/airasia-group-carries-18-more-passengers-2q19

KUALA LUMPUR (July 23): AirAsia Group Bhd’s passenger volume for its consolidated aircraft operating certificate (AOC), comprising Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, rose 18% to 12.84 million in the second quarter of this year (2Q19), from 10.88 million a year earlier.

The number of passengers carried as a percentage of capacity rose 19% to 15.09 million, from 12.72 million, the low-cost carrier said in a statement.

The load factor was 85% compared with 86% in 2Q18, while the available seat kilometres (ASK) grew 17% year-on- year (y-o-y), as the group continued to expand its network through strategic addition of new routes and increased frequencies to domestic and international destinations.

In Malaysia, AirAsia’s capacity grew 13% y-o-y to 10.41 million in 2Q19, resulting in a 11% increase to 8.8 million passengers carried in the quarter.

“The growth rate exceeded that of the industry average, as AirAsia Malaysia continued to increase its market dominance, while load factor remained strong at 84%,” AirAsia said.

Honestly, the way human use earth, don't even talk about those develop nations, just look near to us, pollution is actually very severe! The amount of trash dump into ocean is nuts! I don't think the next generation will ever see clean ocean ever again!

all we need is a clean air to breath...

clean water to drink...

natural organically grown fruits and vegetables..

free range poultry and cattles fed with organic foods free from industrial by products...

...........


very simple to see...garbage in garbage out ...

just treat all humans (including the majority poor) with respect...they are not animals

how much concern our government have to have pesticide and chemical free foods? Zero interest is there

look at the polution in pasir gudang...they dont even have clean air to breath...

i am pretty sure the household water supply is also laden with carcinogens

true...economics is not so interested on that direction!
