It's almost a new record for ringgit (previously hit 3.53 briefly).

Thank you PMX, you are the best. Every malaisyan working in sinkapok got Christmas and new year present!!

2 "state" Gaza in the future?

bengm2019 — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 10:08:59 +0800

I meant 2 "state" by one Gaza on the surface and another Gaza underground.

Looking at the tunnelling work by hamas, I won't be surprise if they even got an underground city (like Zion in matrix movie)...

So perhaps, next time, there will be 2 Gaza states. One ruled by xxxx (still fighting), another underground rules by hamas.

T14 armata is the best tank in the world....

bengm2019 — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 23:36:56 +0800

Yes, it's the best tank in the world. It's not really about the tank itself but the concept.

Prior to t14, all modern tanks follow the same formula of driver in hull and the rest in turret. Most NATO tanks mantian a manual loader while Russia opt for autoloader.

However, with the T14, the concept wa schanged. Now all the crew sit in the hull with a manless turret. Something never been done before.

Now, NATO and USA are developing their own versions. The french/German mgcs is such a design. 3 crew in hull and manless autoloading turret. Last year there is also the Abrams x which feature the same configuration.

Basically designers now felt that this is how future tanks will be.

Did anyone ask what Gaza pple wants?

bengm2019 — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 09:35:07 +0800

So many people keep thinking that gaza is fighting for their rights their freedom blah blah blah.

But did anyone ask them exactly what they wants. Them as the people, not hamas.

Is everyone really interested in fighitng and war or some just want peaceful days? Whoever rule gaza and even religion isn't important at all to them at all.

All they want is to be able to live everyday normally like us. Go to school, go to work, got food on table. Maybe some amenities like phone, internet, TV etc..

Most importantly, they don't want to care about the past. Don't want to care about history blah blah blah... They just just want peaceful days and what we cosnider normal life....

How long can Riggit remain below 3.50 mark?

bengm2019 — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 09:25:34 +0800

Me just wondering.......

For some time, whenever the exchange rate goes above 3.50, some magic will happen and bring it down to below this mark. Maybe market forces at work, maybe someone snapping up all the ringgit.... But now, the mark is going higher and higher, then we hit 3.51 and magic happens. Then latest is 3.53 and magic happens.

Me curious, wonder how long magic the magic can go on.

Btw, its not SGD going up..... SGD is dropping against other currencies.

I still can't understand why iron man died......

bengm2019 — Sun, 10 Dec 2023 22:02:18 +0800

Yes, till today I still can't understand why iron man died in the end game movie...

Because anyone can simply just use to gaintlet's power to make themselves immune to the radiation and then revive iron man...

The guanlet can grant the wearer anything, any power. So, it's kind of strange that nobody ever thought about using the gauntlet to revive iron man.

sad that leopard 2 tanks failed in Ukraine...

bengm2019 — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 13:20:59 +0800

Puting politics aside, the leopard 2 tanks is my favourite tank... Me been a long time fan of German tanks (esp. tigers in WW2)...

So kind of sad to see that they are doing rather poorly in Ukraine (expected though). The leo2 is designed to support infantry and take out enemy tanks and vehicles. But Ukraine's war is very different. Tank vs tank warfare (like ww2) didn't really happen, not on a big scale. Instead we end up mostly with tanks vs artillery, helicopters, drones, mines, troops. And worst of all, they can come from anywhere, esp. top where tanks are quite powerless...

malaysia really needs to increase salary....

bengm2019 — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 13:12:25 +0800

Median household income in malaisya is rm 6338....

Sinkapok median household income is sgd 10,099.

How to survive... Many things in malaisya prices aren't much cheaper than sinkapok.

Milo 2kg pack ~rm 36
Milo 900g pack ~sgd 9 (scale up to 2kg $20).

Earn rm6k pay rm 36 for Milo, earn sgd10k pay sgd 20...

McDonald's double cheese burger meal rm11.95 vs sgd 7.95

Some things laggi worse.. daiso... Rm 5.90 vs sgd 2.14....

Iphone 15 pro rm 5499 vs sgd 1649

So, even we ignore conversion and look at just amount alone, many things in malaisya cost even more than sinkapok...

bengm2019 — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 12:18:27 +0800

Nice!! It's back to 3.50 again

Why is Ringgit dropping yet Export shirnking?

bengm2019 — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 17:43:39 +0800

I can't comprehend....

I ws told that ringgit dropping is a good thing because this will make exports cheaper and hence boost exports.. Good for economy. However, stats show exports keep shrinking. Its not growing.

So what happened??? Me is don't understand. Need some experts to explain to me. Thanks!!

huat ah! it's 3.5 yet again!

bengm2019 — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 20:02:09 +0800

Pmx is the best!! Thank you very much!! We hit 3.5 yet again.

3.5 coming soon again! now 3.491!

bengm2019 — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 10:13:49 +0800

Yes! We are just 0.9sens away from that historic mark. I would say we will likely hit it next 2 weeks. No idea if there will.be another "correction" to bring it down to 3.45, possible... Likely.. we can see that someone or something is trying to prevent it from breaching that 3.50 mark.

But I don't see we can remain below 3.50 for long. Soon, it will just breach and go beyond.
