Congratulations you lucky Malaysians! It turns out that Malaysia has the cheapest rice in Asia! Holy Cow! Way to go Barisan Nasional!
If you believe that nonsense mentioned earlier, at least I can understand why you blind majority Malaysians continue to vote for Barisan Nasional time and time again! :-)
Unfortunately the headline is not at all true. Malaysia did not have the cheapest rice in Asia. As you can see from the following news clip, the lucky Asian country that has the cheapest rice is actually Philippine. I was a bit surprised since I thought Indonesia will win the title hands down!
Let us compare rice prices based from what we can see from the above news clip:
- Thailand – US1.23 per kilo
- Vietnam – US1.47 per kilo
- Indonesia – US0.55 per kilo
- Malaysia – US0.59 per kilo
- Philippine – US0.40 to US0.547 per kilo
Wahh!! Malaysians will die if our rice prices are anything like Thailand and Vietnam!
Now, I have a little challenge for you lovers and worshippers of Barisan Nasional out there. A lot of Malaysians are not happy with our current rice prices and I think you all know that. Why don’t you folks ask your elected government to give good rice discounts to our poor and desperate Malaysians?
Yeah, ask the government to bring down rice prices!
Tell your elected government that this is a big ‘Malaysia Boleh’ project. Tell your elected government to beat Philippine and go for the title of ‘The country with the cheapest rice in Asia’! :-)
I think I’m going nuts!
