Malaysia appeared to be on the brink of joining other Asian countries in recession as it reported on Friday that gross domestic product grew by only 0.1 per cent in the final quarter of 2008 from a year ago, the slowest rate in seven years.
The manufacturing sector contracted by 8.8 per cent in the period after posting positive growth for the past 26 quarters as exports slumped, particularly in the mainstay electronics industry. Exports in goods and services fell 13.4 per cent.

Malaysians paying 38.45% petrol tax this week.
Published January 7th, 2009 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsU.S. National average gasoline price (Jan 5) is at US$1.684/gallon
According to US Energy Information Administration web site, there’s a 19% tax on gas.
For the purpose of comparison later, we should remove the 19% tax from US gas price.
US gas price - tax = US$1.684 / 1.19 = US$1.415/gallon
Gas in RM/liter = (US$1.415/3.78)*3.48 = RM1.30/liter
* 1 US gallon = 3.78 liter
* US$1 = RM3.47
Currently petrol price at pump is RM1.80/liter
Percentage of petrol tax Malaysians are paying = (1.80-1.30)/1.30 x 100 = 38.45%
Notes :
1. During economic down turn. Govt should cut taxes.
2. Malaysia is a NET oil exporter.

To all detainees of ISA, we pray for you, hang in there.
A glimpse into the future after 916 :
Printing Press Act has come as blessings in disguise for those who opposed the powers that be (namely Barisan National).
However, I would like to warn the Pakatan Rakyat’s legislator do not be fixed like deer staring at the headlights on just calling for Press Conference to highlight the causes.
Your role as legislator is more than that. If you need me to teach you what to do, which most of you clearly does. Then I guess its time to work on the next step for Malaysia. Yes, Pakatan Rakyat have done a wonderful job in denying the BN 2/3 majority. But, really is it your work? Or is it the civil society sacrifices? The blogspheres? Those who went down to the streets during Bersih march? You did not win your seat in vacuum. Wake up now or you will be shocked to the reality in the next General Election.
After 5 months since March the 8th, I am still very disappointed with the quality of legislator we have in the Parliament. You can do more than TALK in Parliament. Even fools can do that as demonstrated well by the BN backbenchers.
Be a legislator! A good one at it.
So DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
“He is prepared to explain to the party about his actions. I have accepted his explanation,” said Azmin.
A message for Azmin; I know you were ex UMNO member. But please don’t carry you UMNO DNA with you, certainly not their speech and actions (or in-actions).
Looks like Zulkifli will get off the hook. Will see what DAP and PAS do if this happens.
may never come down in Malaysia.
Why is the flip-flop Bodohwi refusing to revise the price of fuel at the pump?
