Be Scared..... Be VERY Scared but Don't Worry Cox We're In Malaysia.....

DSB HK cut 900 - Hong Kong and Singapore
HSBC to cut additional 600 - worldwide
Pepsi Cola - 3,300 - worldwide
Sun Microsystems 5,000 - 6,000
And CITIBANK cut 52000

U might said aiyah.... that one in America mah.....

In today NST....

1. CIMB Aviva offers VSS (wow..... VSS already!!!!!!!!)
2. MK Land to unveil turnaround plan on Nov 28 (turnaround plan to return to profitability? what a polite word for employee lay-off/cut???)

So, now.... are we still insulated from the recession? Deputy Minister Kong Cha Ha (MCA) said it's slowdown but not recession. Hmm.....

in a way, it's like natural selection. the weak ones will be sidelined and kicked out. but in malaysia, the terms "weak" will be subject to certain terms and coditions of course.

haha.... Finance Minister 2 said tat kan? he said luckily we have 30% savings or sth like tat kan?
