the costs of living

Once Sheila Majid says of costs of living

Amno B members criticizing her

When they themselves bring it up

There is the loud applause

It tells us what they are

They aren't to be trusted

In the running of the affairs of the nation

They only hope to get the rewards

When the people are suffering

They are thinking of their own pockets

They don't address it on the stage

When the opportunity arises so they miss it

Now other artistes too voices their concerned

Of the economy of the nation

Though there is the standared reply

“Our economic fundamentals are strong!”

What are they?

When we see our ringgit depreciates

We will pay more for our import of goods or services

We have already faced our own internal economic problems

GST has added to the woe of our pockets

It helps Bee Anne to stay in power for a while

Now EPF has introduced schemes of withdrawals

For those who in 55 or 60 years group

It tells us something is seriously wrong

The government treasury is in dire needs of money

Encouraging internal consumption to increase its coffers

And the hole has become deeper and deeper....

Is this the way we want?

We have a choice to make

Don't get fooled by Brim or Krim

It never solves our economic downtrends
