My wife just ordered a raw tuna sushi this afternoon in the Nishiki Market in Kyoto. Erm… not for me. The only time I had sushi (raw one) was way back in Tokyo in the Tsukiji outer market where one particular shop had a super long queue. Taste was ok but nah… not my type. I do think price of Tuna reflects the economic condition too. If it’s very bad, people would not want to spend so much and thus the prices cannot be that high. Of course as usual, when economy is bad, then every other demand also goes down too including property. Coming back to the amazing tuna auction price.

The proposed Melaka-Riau bridge aims to enhance economic activities between Malaysia and Indonesia. Despite previous delays, the Melaka government is executing a feasibility study to assess its potential. However, the viability and funding for such infrastructure remain uncertain, prompting concerns about its impact on economic growth for the region.

Buying Akiya homes in Japan. Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s good. Yes, I really do have that interest to one day buy one

Just this quick assumption on the potential for such a city of 42 million people? 42 million x RM1,500 = RM63 billion per month! Yea, this is why many companies set up their base in Jakarta. This is also why any ‘regional’ team in ASEAN must have an office in Jakarta. Else, something is wrong with their strategy team, if they have any. I know, maybe the current population does not yet spend RM1,500 per person per month. Just be reminded that it’s a matter of time.

NUS is National University of Singapore and NTU is Nanyang Technological University. NUS is 8th in the world and NTU is 12th in the world. They do make Asia proud as they are right up there with the best in the world and if both of them were in the US, they would only be behind a handful of universities. Amazing achievements indeed.

ASEAN: How big is Malaysia’s GDP by the way Who’s at the top? Where is Malaysia? Where GDP numbers are concerned, Malaysia is just ranked

Well, if the tariffs will dampen the consumer sentiment, then demand for goods and services will fall. This means the economy will slow down. No more multiplier effects to the economy since lower demand means lower production. In other words, less workers are needed. Thus, fewer people may have enough money to keep buying things they like. Businesses would think twice about marketing, about expanding or even about employing more people. Uncertainty is the order of the day. What would the central banks do…?

I have been to a number of casinos. Within Malaysia, I have been to the SkyCasino in Genting Highlands. When I was in Perth, I dropped by the Crown Casino Burswood in Perth. I have also been to the one in Resorts World Sentosa, the Baha Mar Casino in The Bahamas and even a casino in South Korea (during honeymoon) which obviously I could not remember its name anymore. I have won in all these casinos except the one in Perth. Okay, the total loss is higher but I have actually won some money in all the casinos listed here including the one in Genting Highland, Singapore, in the Bahamas and in South Korea too.

If you are wondering what is this land bridge, it’s a project which involves connecting the Andaman Sea with the Gulf of Thailand. Briefly, for ships to bypass the straits of Melaka and thus also skipping the mighty Singapore port altogether. It may not be able to capture every ship but estimates have pointed that the number could be significant since it will save the ships a few days’ of traveling time.

Almost every adult to get US$292 (RM1,274) Thailand’s new Prime Minister is Paeteongtarn Shinawatra. She is the daughter of former leader Thaksin Shinawatra. The biggest

Okay, if you have not heard about this Nusantara capital city, then it’s time to follow its news a bit more closely yeah. This is the new capital city of Indonesia and is supposed to replace Jakarta in the future. Many reasons which we will go through below too. If everything goes according to plan, this will be another source of economic growth for both Sarawak and Sabah too. Perhaps the flights between these states with Nusantara could even match the frequency of the KL to Singapore route.
