I’m not an economist. Saya mak orang saja. I tengok numbers pun kadang-kadang kena baca dua tiga kali baru faham.
But this one makes me happy.
Malaysia’s economy grew 𝟲.𝟬% in the second quarter, up from 5.4% in the first quarter, with inflation at 𝟭.𝟵%.
And what makes me even happier is this is happening when the world itself bukan tengah senang. Geopolitical tensions everywhere, supply chains disrupted, logistics and energy risks are higher. Banyak negara pun tengah trying to navigate the same uncertain world.
So bila Malaysia masih boleh grow like this, domestic demand kuat, exports doing well, services and manufacturing growing, and our labour market holding up, I think as rakyat kita boleh lah stop sekejap and say, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀.
Does it mean everyone suddenly has more money in their pocket? Of course not. Cost of living is still something many families worry about. Saya pun pergi supermarket, saya tahu.
But 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. Rakyat can still be struggling with certain things AND our economy can be moving in the right direction.
Sometimes kita terlalu cepat marah bila benda tak betul, sampai bila benda baik berlaku pun kita lupa nak acknowledge.
So today, from one ordinary Malaysian mother who understands enough economics to know 6% is better than 5.4%:
𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮.
And thank you to our government, PMX and everyone working behind the scenes to keep our economy moving in a very difficult world.
𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴. We still have plenty of work to do, but good news is still good news.

A 10 year-old boy from Japan discovered that butterflies can remember their time as caterpillars.
Jo Nagai noticed his caterpillars still loved him after turning into butterflies, and the affection he had for them led to a genuine scientific discovery.
The fact that Pascal is the one who actually killed Mother Gothel while Eugene gets all the credit, when the real hero is this tiny chameleon, is so UNFAIR.
A medida que envejeces, te das cuenta cada vez más de que la verdadera felicidad está compuesta por mañanas tranquilas, un entorno limpio, acostarte temprano, un hogar seguro y personas que no te drenan la energía…
