We can hardly survive on our savings these days&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank You very much&lt;br&gt; Like   Reply&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;yowchuan   1 year ago in reply to Alan&lt;br&gt;Alan, thanks for the alert. Just updated the rates (was quite surprised to see that it has dropped to a mere 2++ percent).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For recession-friendly tips, you can have a read here: &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.meshio.com/2009/02/.../" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.meshio.com/2009/02/.../"&gt;http://www.meshio.com/2009/...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like you said, we are the "forgotten men &amp;amp; women" when it comes to the process of policy making. How can they help us when they can't even help themselves now? If there's anyone who actually track the return on investment (ROI) of our tax money, we should not be too surprised to see negative figures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, the mini budget announced recently is not helping the guys on the street by much.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before letting too much fear runs into the blood, it's a good idea to differentiate between income and wealth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When we look at plundering prices in the past few months, it's evident that a scary amount of wealth has just vaporized into thin air. Yet, much of those vaporized wealth did not hit us as bad as we thought. For example, unless you are depending on the rental income from your property, the shelter value of your property would not have changed, even though the market price has depreciated the value by 15-20%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Living standards would not be affected too much as long as our income does not suffer a major blockage. As you've mentioned, investment in stocks and mutual funds would have suffered huge paper loss. So, unless you are living off the dividends and capital gains from these dividends, the focus should still be ensuring that the channels of income remains stable, or probably opening up new avenues of income.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even as we are left to fend for ourselves, I still think that we need to filter out the fear-driven propaganda from the facts. A good way to start is to stop reading the papers and turning off the TV, and get creative!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just my thoughts.&lt;br&gt; Like   Reply&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alan 1 year ago in reply to yowchuan&lt;br&gt;Dear Yow Chuan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much for the updated info .

Just updated the rates (was quite surprised to see that it has dropped to a mere 2++ percent).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For recession-friendly tips, you can have a read here:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.meshio.com/2009/02/recession-and-10-ways-how-to-make-it-work-for-you/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.meshio.com/2009/02/recession-and-10-ways-how-to-make-it-work-for-you/"&gt;http://www.meshio.com/2009/...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like you said, we are the "forgotten men &amp;amp; women" when it comes to the process of policy making. How can they help us when they can't even help themselves now? If there's anyone who actually track the return on investment (ROI) of our tax money, we should not be too surprised to see negative figures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, the &lt;a href="http://www.meshio.com/2009/03/malaysia-mini-budget-2009/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.meshio.com/2009/03/malaysia-mini-budget-2009/"&gt;mini budget announced recently&lt;/a&gt; is not helping the guys on the street by much.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before letting too much fear runs into the blood, it's a good idea to differentiate between income and wealth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When we look at plundering prices in the past few months, it's evident that a scary amount of wealth has just vaporized into thin air. Yet, much of those vaporized wealth did not hit us as bad as we thought. For example, unless you are depending on the rental income from your property, the shelter value of your property would not have changed, even though the market price has depreciated the value by 15-20%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Living standards would not be affected too much as long as our income does not suffer a major blockage. As you've mentioned, investment in stocks and mutual funds would have suffered huge paper loss. So, unless you are living off the dividends and capital gains from these dividends, the focus should still be ensuring that the channels of income remains stable, or probably opening up new avenues of income.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even as we are left to fend for ourselves, I still think that we need to filter out the fear-driven propaganda from the facts. A good way to start is to stop reading the papers and turning off the TV, and get creative!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just my thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">yowchuan</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2009 13:04:54 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Malaysia Banking Institutions&amp;#8217; Fixed Deposit Rate</title><link>http://www.meshio.com/malaysia-fixed-deposit-rate/#comment-7125237</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Can you please provide the latest rates after 28/2/2009 as many banks have reduced the rates after Bank Negara lowered the OPR by another 0.5 %&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any suggestions on how we can earn more interests on our savings , as the stock and property market are killing all of us and the government is not helping senior citizens like me by forcing the banks to reduce FD rates .
