Thats the number of comments that appear on Tun Dr Mahathirs last 6 postings. Previously it used to be 200 – 300 something. What can we read into this?
Tun Dr Mahathir's last couple of articles seemed to be talking about a variety of issues. He touched on Bosnia, giving a heads up to those who wants into venture into an agricultural business, a noble thing in my opinion, and a couple of the International Hedge Funds. As usual Dr Mahathir cites the high leverage of these hedge funds especially those involved in currency speculation.
In the next posting he seems to take exception at the low standing of Malaysia's per capita, claiming that because of the Hedge Funds and Financial trading, Western nation's GDP is overstated to its base. In Tun Dr Mahathir's logic, as these business do not produce any goods, its a fictional form of business. So when there is a financial crisis, right now, it exposes the economies for what they are i.e. a deck of cards based and nothing concrete.
So our GDP is not that bad after all. The others GDP is higer due to this money game they play. Thats the gist of his argument.
Word up – how do you explain Gabon and Botswana having a higher GDP? Or Poland? Or Venezuela? Or Libya? Or Chile?
