@Tom, 坦白说，在马来西亚工商界精通英语比精通华语重要。华语只要有一定程度（初中一、二）的会话和书写能力基本上已经足够了（纯粹从实用性角度出发的话）。

A thoughtful article Jay, and one that resonates strongly with my personal opinions on this matter. Even Schooling's father had to forked out more than 1 million SGD to sponsor his son's time in the US. How many can afford that? Similarly I've heard of figures whether team GB spent on average GBP 4.5mil on EACH of the gold medal they won in London '12. Estimate may be off but it does provide a good ballpark feel on the extent of resources required to create winners in the world's elite sports today.

I tend to agree with you. Seems like this whole oil glut thing is blown out of proportion. I suspect oil will stabilise around $50 - $60 for some time and the moment we start getting news of glut being used up already, there will be a jump in oil price and SKP will shoot up to RM3++.
