Stimulating The Masses – unpacking the package
Yes. Finally. And it is never too late to introduce a stimulus, says the DPM cum Finance Minister cum PM-in-waiting. And so, here we are. The economic viagra which is supposed to turn our already flaccid economy into a turgid and erect powerhouse is now out of the box.
Yes sir. And if all of you clueless people feel clueless as to how this stimulus package (yes, it comes in a package, no less!) works towards achieving an economic erection, well, just don't change the channel, because, yes, more than clues are needed to understand the true extent, latent and patent, of this stimulus package. You won't get stimulated just by reading about it. No, this stimulus is not like an erotic story. You need to do more than that.
But, don't worry. I am here. I have set out on a mystique journey for a stimulating enlightenment. And I had sat to ponder. And I have squatted to find the key to this puzzlement. I have meditated – although it is not yoga I must hasten to add – to understand. And now, after the rain has all gone – though the SMART tunnel is still closed – there is nary a blot of cloud in the horizon. I am in complete understanding. This 60 billion stimulus is a great one. It is going to work.
Only a few enlightened ones are to understand this thing. Because, like any great work, it takes a lot to understand. I must proudly confess that I am one of those who do. Probably because I was taught Maths and Science in English. Or probably too, because I don't read NST and the Star. But understand I do. And here is my guide to all of you clueless people. To the detractors. To the oppositions. To the closet economists. This is it. The defining guide towards reaping the highest, biggest and stonkiest benefits out of the recently announced 60 billion ringgit "mini-budget" aka economics stimulus package aka Christmas-comes-in-March-albeit-spread-over-two-years economics thingy.
