Parliament: 100 000 jobless by end of year.

Couple of days back, flashing below the screen of the local news was the exact words (in small prints) 'Parliament: 100 000 jobless by end of year'.

But I recalled our Finance Minister announcing that Malaysia would not be affected by the global recession, months back. Either there was an honest miscalculation or he did not take into account the concept of being prudent. Hello, this is not the time to be optimistic and making use of the people's imperfect knowledge.

People who believed in that statement and thus did not prepare for this recession had to face the aftermath.
So sad.
