BUNGA.

Is a song from veteran Malay rapper Altimet. The lyrics to this song goes something like this :

Hey, isi ini borang
Keluar wang berkoyan
Korang jangan goyang (bayar kemudian, ooh)
Mohon terus lulus
Tandatangan terus
Siapa taknak berlambak fulus

Bagai bulan jatuh ke riba
Nak duit, nak duit, dapat sekali bunga
Jatuh bulan 'kan ada riba
Nah duit, nah duit, sertakan bunga
Jangan sampai kena sita
Takde duit untuk bayar bunga
Sampai boleh naik gila
Rumah takde taman, masih ada bunga

BUNGA in Malay is interest. Loan sharking is a very big business in Malaysia, but they too had shut down during MCO.

So what happened  on this first day of the partial lifting of the MCO. What happened was a SAD STORY. Most of the money lenders will be opening for business only next week.

I was told that they too are under pressure  unable to collect their BUNGA. There is going to be another round of sad stories and I haven't  heard any plans by PN, PH to avert a fresh sad story just awaiting to be a tragedy of herculean propotion.
