Ninjas in Pyjamas . Eat, Sleep, Rave & Repeat.

Was a club hit for Fat Boy Slim & Riva Starr, featuring at that point a rookie Dj from Scotland known as Dj Calvin Harris, who these days is a bona fide superstar DJ with the midas touch.
The lyrics, then :

Like cats and dogs
It was raining
It wasn't raining
We were raving

And I don't know whether he was really saying it
All he kept saying was
Eat, sleep, rave, repeat


So PM8 kata  RAKYAT DAH MUAK with politics. Err, actually  its not true. Google trends on Malaysia show that (this is very embarrassing PM8), Malaysian are more concerned about  THE LITTLE FAT BOY from North Korea than about you.

🤣 In fact over the past 24 hours, there were more searches about Ninjas in Pyjamas  than you, PM8. What is your cyber head doing? Or do you have one or just relying on Azmin Ali's ex PKR people ?

I am only providing a screenshot and not a link, because Google Trends is based on real time. So here is the screenshot, I took at 5.12 am today.

Nampak Sama Tapi Bukan Dia. It wasn't me

Was a smash hit for Shaggy.  Because of the lock down, when i have nothing to do, I often go to Azmin Ali's twitter account... not to see what he says but to read the comment box.
One commentor which often gives me the best laugh is Nampak Sama Tapi Bukan Dia, with a profile of a Doreamon.   Dark humour at its BEST
 

Anyway, here is portion of the lyrics to it wasnt me

For the pain that I've caused
You may think that you're a player
But you're completely lost
That's why I sing

Najib Razak. Jangan Tunggu Lama Lama

Was a smash hit for Singaporean rockers Sweet Charity. The lyrics to this song goes something like this 

Jangan tunggu lama-lama
Nanti lama-lama
Dia makin menyiksa
Sesal dan kesal engkau nantinya


Najib who back in 2016 was voted as the WORST finance minister by FinanceAsia has some SOUND advise for PM 8 and rookie finance minister Zafrul.

Basically, Najib is saying Jangan tunggu lama lama in coming up with new fiscal measures for the citizens of this nation, in view of the extended lockdowns.

If the WORST finance minister of 2016 knows this but PM8 seems clueless, this going to add unwarranted pressure on the Malaysian economy.

Elsewhere,  a man who perhaps should have been finance minister, Mustapa Mohamed, but  is merely a lowly minister in the Prime Minister's  Department takes the BULL BY ITS HORN by warning about clamity if countries keep their economies SHUT.

Hello, Zafrul and MITI minister Azmin Ali,  this is your job and not Mustapa Mohamed's job. Are you two joe's sleeping ...

PM8.Sandiwara Cinta

was the lead track of Nike Ardilla's album of the same name. Known as the lady rocker, Ardilla died young in 1995,  but her 1995 album Sandiwara Cinta remains the best-selling Indonesian album of all time.

PM8, meanwhile seems to be in his own world with his own Sandiwara Cinta

Apparently, he still doesnt have a plan of action to take the Malaysian economy to the next step.

Malaysia Kini REPORTED that PM8 said the following

Justeru, katanya, kerajaan sedang mengkaji kaedah memulihkan ekonomi secara bertahap termasuk merangka Pelan Pemulihan Ekonomi jangka pendek dan sederhana.

Jelas Muhyiddin, ia bagi memastikan aktiviti ekonomi dapat dibangkitkan semula dengan pantas selepas tempoh PKP berakhir.

"Sehubungan itu, saya telah mengarahkan Kementerian Kewangan dan Unit Perancang Ekonomi, Jabatan Perdana Menteri untuk merangka Pelan Pemulihan Ekonomi jangka pendek, jangka sederhana dan jangka panjang yang menyeluruh.


PENDEK KATA, HANG CUMA SEDANG BUAT KAJIAN SAHAJA LAH. 
BASICALLY THERE IS NO CONCRETE  PLAN YET ON HOW TO MOVE FORWARD. SO NICE TO HEAR THAT PM8.

Here is a small portion of the Lady Rocker's choice words for you

Jangan kau bersandiwara kepadaku
Bosan... mungkin itu sifatmu...

Malaysia. R.O.C.K in the U.S.A

Was a big hit for John Cougar Mellencamp. The single was taken from the album Scarecrow.  Although the album did very well and turned Mellencamp into a superstar it was largely overshadowed by Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA.

Malaysia can be great again if it is ruled by the right set of people, which must include elements of UMNO and DAP.

Despite the club of DOOM scaring the day lights of Malaysians, we most likely survive a recession with very little  bruises.

The DEVIL is in the DETAIL. So don't worry too much. Soon we shall be once again R.O.C.K in the U.S.A. The lyrics then

Voices from nowhere
And voices from the larger towns
Filled our head full of dreams
Turned the world upside down

Tengku Zahfrul. Are you sleeping

Is an ever green nursery ryhme . The song writer is unknown.


Tengku Zafrul, Are you sleeping? 

Morning bells are ringing!
Morning bells are ringing!
Ding, dang, dong.
Ding, dang, dong.




What is THISMr finance minister....Are you sleeping? For your information oil price has ALREADY  DECLINED  SIGNIFICANTLY  FROM OUR ESTIMATES .

Last but not least, finance minister when you put out a press release  make sure the layman can understand what you want to say.

Our calculation on the impact of lower oil prices have been factored into the deficit forecast of more than 4 per cent of GDP. This reflects the whole year's estimated deficit based on a CERTAIN level of oil price assumption. 

What is that CERTAIN level? Are we to guess. And what is our annual average estimate for oil? USD 50 to USD60 a barrel?


Below is the press release from the finance minister that raises more questions than it provides answers.

1983. Let's Dance

Was a massive hit for David Bowie, but too bad for him it happened in 1983

The 1983, Grammy awards remain till this day, the strongest ever in terms of the quality of the artist. In any other year, the Eurythmics would have won, the best new artist award for Sweet Dreams and Lionel Ritchie would have won big with All Night Long.

All ended up losers, but legends never theless. Even Duran Duran could only snatch best video of the year for Girls on Film.

Best new artist went to Culture Club and Michael Jackson's  Thriller dominated the awards, with the likes of Chaka khan, Donna Summers, Irene Carra wining minor awards. The police too won an award, and so did Herbie Hancok for Rockit.

In 1983, a Mcdonald's  happy meal in Malaysia cost RM1.99 with toys included. Today its about RM11 .

In 1983, the West Texas Intermediate oil was trading at about US$11 a barrel.

Fast forward to 2020, the WTI has hit its lowest level since 1983 .  Read BITCOIN and ONE DOLLAR

So  here we are buying RM11 Happy Meals,  which have gone up between 9 to 10 times in value since 1983, while oil price is back to 1983 level.

I can tell you that in 1983,  Malaysia was a simple yet rich country. We were a very happy people and our national football team, was just coming off its glory days.

The lyrics then to let's dance
And tremble like a flower
Let's dance
Let's dance
For fear your grace should fall
Let's dance
For fear tonight is all
