IN what seemingly looks stranger then even fiction, Donald Trump, could well be hailed as a hero by ordinary Malaysians at ground zero in years to come.
THE US president, who some claimed has lost his marbles, has made it crystal clear, that he is looking at the art of the deal to inspire nations such as ours to READ :to come up with phenomenal offers that would benefit the USA, in order for tarrifs to come tumbling down like Humpty Dumpty.
MALAYSIA actually can offer a lot to the USA, without breaking its back, as it has the right optics, that could make Donald Trump feel great about Malaysia again.
FOR starters, let's ask ourself, why is it, we don't have a free trade agreement with the USA since talks were suspended by Muhyiddin Yassin without even informing the cabinet back in 2008?
ITS due to our own tarrifs imposed by successive government's on the shoulders of Joe public, via the Approve Permit for automotives, which in turn had READ : seen Malaysia ranked just below North Korea in the most expensive place to own a foreign made cars , global charts.
FAT Rafizi Ramli READ : has been promising since 2023, to put an to the AP scrooge, have gone silent since 2024, on how to kill Malaysian households most expensive asset purchase which diminishes in value over time.
MALAYSIA should start cracking on killing off the Approved Permit foe Automotives business , so that we have something good to make Donald Trump feel good about himself.
IF, that doesn't convince Trump to take the bait, we can sweeten the deal by throwing Huawei under the second 5G network bus.
NEEDLESS to say, such a move won't thrill, China's Xi Jinping who will be visiting our country this month.
MALAYSIA's top priority should be Malaysia, and it won't hurt us one bid to have a crazy American with a cowboys view on world affairs considering it is not the USA, but rather Communist China that is claiming part of Malaysia as their father's land, while stating China has zero claims on Singapore's sovereignty.
