@jalilword “In resp to COVID-19, the USA Fed will buy unlimited q'ties of Treas. bonds, the B of England will purchase £200 bil of gilts, & Europe ECB up to €750 bil euro bonds. Almost certainly, central banks will end up providing monetary finance to fund fiscal deficits.”

Dear @jeremycorbyn

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow's #UKElection

The people of the UK deserve a govt that works for all people, they don't deserve the incompetent Tories who work only for the elites.

Good luck & good luck to the UK

I did not tweet much about Davos, but this one is interesting:

‘It feels like I’m at a firefighters conference and no one’s allowed to speak about water.’

This historian wasn’t afraid to confront the billionaires at Davos about their greed

@khalidkarim More unskilled foreign workers in low-value sector. With local workers' wage mostly apmost stagnant.. wonder how many FW needed to raise CE/GDP from 28% in 2010 to current 35%.

More than 6 million for sure.

Chevron wins $9.5 billion ISDS lawsuit against Ecuador. Instead of blaming the excessive rights of foreign investors in BITs & the pro-investor bias of arbitrators, the Attorney General blames the government’s actions and the defence by int'l law firms https://t.co/hhv5XNXmLe

@malaysiandigest @n_izzah @SyedSaddiq spot on YB! Silo thinking of prev govt led to overfocus on the supply-side of the TVET programme.. didn't study the demand side (industries)or drive it. MEF seem didn't care either, all they're thinking "we only need warm bodies "

[Azlan Awang @azlanawang]

@ManinderjitMike @malaysiandigest @SyedSaddiq Hmmm..show us the cv with degree in tiles, please. Tipp-ex the name.

@StatsMalaysia DOSM must release data based on bumiputera Semenanjung, Sarawak and Sabah for household income, wages, etc immediately. Let the rakyat know the true state of affairs.

To be fair BNM didn't say "sweatshop" or "slave wage level" anywhere in its report. @mpklang

BNM refutes living wage report that said Malaysians are poor

@khalidkarim Sg Buloh-Kajang line was decided even prior to masterplan. Idris Jala claimed the decision was a 'no-brainer'! We know now what/who is the 'no-brainer'!

@Akbar_Ali Inequality bad for any economy. In Malaysia, bottom 60% simply do not have enough income to sufficiently buy basic goods & 0services for decent living. Globally.. creates underconsumption. Industries lacks market; excess surplus channelled to unproductive prop & financial sectors

[Azlan Awang @azlanawang]

@khalidkarim Will anybody in their right mind think there's going to be operational surplus?
