On Trade Concessions In The Tariff War With Bully 'Merika


Tengku Zaful tries his best to justify trade concessions to bully 'Merika

We capitulate and concede too easily, a sign of weakness.

One does not, and must not indeed, give in to a bully easily.

We should have shown the pea-brained White House Duck the middle finger.

One can't trust the pea-brained bird whose avian ego rules the head.

It is true as part of the concessions that 'won' us the imposition of 19% tariff instead of the threatened 25%, was the commitment to buy a fleet of Boeing planes?

The 19% tariff on Malaysian exports to the US we are so proud of wringleing from the pea-brained White House Duck isn't a victory.

Other South-Eat Asian countries like Indonesia and Thailand got the same so-called deal.

What we should do is to diversify our exports. 

With countries across the world being punished with tariffs, including allies of the US, the EU countries and even US's good friend and neighbour, next door Canada, everyone is now looking to diversify their exports.

There are the expanded BRICS countries too whose cooperation with each other offers hope.

With China standing firm against the pea-brained White House Duck's threats, not conceding, with its own threat of cutting off rare earth exports to the US, the thing the US fears the most, we see that the whole ego saga of tariffs, tariffs and tariffs won't go far for 'Merika.

What all the tariffs will mean for the 'Merikain consumers is that they are the ones who pay for the tariffs, seeing rising cost of living hitting them hard and shops going empty as imports become more and more expensive.

In the end, instead of the promised tariff glory, the ' Merikain economy shrinks, hastening its collapse.

The bird has zero idea of economics nor of business. What can one expect of the bird who is said to have bankrupted not one but six casinos? 

Ai ya ya!!

Postscript : Even Canada is seeking to diversify exports and now looking to join BRICS?

Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder

The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
