On this Valentine Saturday, the streets were busy and most of all, Queensbay Mall was pack with people. Starbucks over at Borders were filled, not an empty seat in sight, and the entire mall was just buzzling with people. I was wondering, what economic crisis? 1/2 a million of people lost their jobs in the US, life goes on as usual in Malaysia. After all, we are half the world away.
Nevermind the countless factories that have implemented pay cuts by cutting the operation hours, nevermind the few factories that shuts down, displacing the Penang workforce. Roses, bears and couple T’shirts still warms up smiling faces this Valentine Day. What’s a couple of bucks spent, after all, many still earns a decent living.
So I ask myself, what economic crisis? The government seams to be bullish about it and the consumers seams to be fuelling it. So, what economic crisis I ask?
