There is a good news for the rubber tappers especially in the Felda areas. This news will not be spoken by Rafizi or written in Malaysiakini. The news is that price of rubber closed higher in the last three years at RM9.565 per kilo.
Similarly, the price of palm oil projected an increment of RM100 compared to the price in 2016. The price of palm oil in Malaysia is expected to reach RM2,800 per metric tonne.
Mahfuz spoke in Parliament on April 3, 2014 that the government should assess the price of rubber so that people will not be depressed. A year ago, Free Malaysia Today wrote a sad story titled "Getah sekerap 80 sen sekilo, peraih melarat miskin" on February 16, 2016.
Supposedly all this happened to suppress the people and the government needs to be changed in the elections to raise the price of rubber. No need to wait for GE14.
Now, the price of rubber and palm oil are soaring. The same government raised that price. The one who fooled the rural population was Rafizi Ramli. Never believe and follow the theories of a person whom have been founded guilty of slandering the court.
The opposition will never talk about the stories of rising rubber price and oil price. They were busy being jealous of the good things provided by the BN government.
They were jealous when Dato Seri Najib gave BR1M to all those eligible in the B40 group. They were jealous when pilgrims were sent for Hajj through 1MDB.
The opposition today fight against the good things provided by the government by accusing of "corruption", "money laundering" and "haji tidak mabrur". "Propaganda labeling" was not a mature way in politics. Eventually the charges were seen only as allegations.
No proof was shared to confirm the charges made. All that was remembered by the people whom have been fooled and obsessed with the opposition were negative perceptions and false stories.
Rubber price rose, palm oil price rose, but they didn’t share the joy of the news. In fact, the World Bank forecasts that Malaysia’s economy will expand by 4.3% percentage is also a good sign for all Malaysians.
The economic growth of 4.3% is better than the average economic growth in the world which is only at 2.7%. Not only that, Malaysia’s economic growth of 4.3% is also better than in developed countries which are only expected at a rate of 1.8% in 2017.
Is the opposition going to say that the projection is made because of "makan dedak"? Just like what Mahathir accused the mufti when the mufti commented regarding “hukum haji tidak mabrur”. The Mufti was said to be "paid" to criticize Mahathir.
The World Bank projections and Mufti’s comments have solid foundations and were based on knowledge. Not like claiming BR1M as a corruption and 1MDB hajj of “tidak mabrur”. Rafizi tried to erase the story of the rose in rubber and palm oil prices and deflect the attention from the story by attacking settlers.
The people need to judge the facts, the authenticity of the sources and the basis of an argument. No need to be obsessed of the former leader to the point of labeling others as feeding of corruption of BR1M, “makan dedak” and “haji tidak mabrur”.
Keep these unhealthy politics at bay. The opposition nowdays is not involved in politics for the people. Mahathir and Kit Siang both intensely involved in politics even at the end of the life solely for their children and their cronies.
That is why they do not even care if the price of rubber and palm oil rise. No profit for them anyway.
