What Boycott??

Raya is just around the corner and like previous years, irresponsible damn*ss will start jacking up prices of absolutely everything. As The Consumer, who can we ask for help? The Government. As The Government, can you do something to stop this price hike madness? Yes, Maybe. How will The Government help The Consumer? By asking The Consumer to boycott.

Yes, this is the answer we got from The Government when The Consumer request for intervention.

So, if The Consumer is to follow advice from The Government, this is what we can expect to happen, based on the cause and effect theory:

Price of chicken go up = boycott buying chicken => raya with lemang and ketupat without any rendang. What will raya be to the kids when there isn't any traditional meal on the table. Soon, can we expect McD and BK to be the substitute??

Price of public transportation go up = boycott taking on public transportation => everybody starts to drive their own vehicles which caused massive jam throughout the nation.

Price of oil go up = boycott buying oil => nationwide shutdown as Malaysian can't go to work, etc.


My point is, whatever problems we are facing, boycotting is NOT the way to resolve. We have to find the root cause and start analyzing for the best approach that will result in both win-win situation.

We can definitely do better!!
