TUHAN telah memberitahu kita apa yang baik.
Perkara yang dituntut oleh TUHAN daripada kita adalah supaya kita berlaku adil,
selalu mengamalkan kasih, dan dengan rendah hati hidup bersatu dengan Allah kita.
- Mikha 6:8Perkara yang dituntut oleh TUHAN daripada kita adalah supaya kita berlaku adil,
selalu mengamalkan kasih, dan dengan rendah hati hidup bersatu dengan Allah kita.

Micro-credit hype
Posted on 30 December 2011 by Vinoth Ramachandra
I return to Ha-Joon Chang’s debunking 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism. In one of his chapters, Chang argues that people in poor countries are generally more entrepreneurial than those in rich countries. Most citizens of rich countries work for a company, doing highly specialized jobs. As a…

Of three who died
Posted on 30 December 2011 by Goh Keat Peng
This past week, two heads of state died.

Rear-guard action
Posted on 22 December 2011 by Tan Soo Inn
The Malaysian civil service wage bill was 20.9 billion ringgit in 2001. It was RM30.2 billion in 2006. It is expected to be RM64.1 billion by next year. Any rational and responsible government will have to look at how it can legitimately trim the civil service. Tony Pua, opposition MP…

Who needs economists?
Posted on 30 November 2011 by Vinoth Ramachandra
One week before the Great Crash of October 1929- which precipitated the Great Depression- Irving Fisher of Yale University, perhaps the most distinguished US economist of his time, claimed that the American economy had attained a “permanently high plateau”.
