National day Merdeka

 Let us reflect on how far the nation has developed and what needs to be improved.Opening up the economy after lengthy lockdown has seen a return to economic growth and a pent up consumer demand sees restaurants being filled with crowds and shopping malls packed with shoppers and traffic jams in commercial business areas.but growth has been limited by serious labour shortage when plantations lack labourers and restaurants and hotels are short of service staff.this needs to be addressed.good that action has been taken to ease inflationary pressure so food prices are affordable again although the supply chain disruption has affected manufacture of certain medicine and foodstuff.

Hope the govt will not tax consumers for online purchases of rm500 and below because its how many urban families make a saving by buying necessities online.tax those who buy big ticket luxury items more than those who buy cheaper goods online.bundle shop or thrift shops are doing well as people save by buying second hand clothes,prams,electrical appliances.im now buying preloved crockery ,clothes,bags,etc to fit the budget but i cant do it for food supplements,health food ,medicine etc.
