For example, Lux beauty soap can turn you into a beauty even if you are born naturally ugly.<br /><br />Men will purchase a car advertised with a sexy woman even though it is twice the market price.<br /><br />Cow's milk can turn your children into genius (even though cows are deemed daft).<br /><br />UMNO will survive PRU14 - just by displaying SOLIDARITY, even though the UMNO boat is leaking.<br /><br />The power of belief is highly irrational - waiting for miracles in 2015.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-34161900424998896462015-05-28T13:48:18.156+08:002015-05-28T13:48:18.156+08:00Economics is based on rational behaviour.

Without elaborating any further, it can be fast forward to conclude that the stimuli to get mass reaction in the irrational world of Malay politics is not truth and righteousness but lies and deceptions. <br /><br />It only shows the Malays moral compass between right and wrong, interest and principle have become blurry and can be manipulated. Contemporary Malay culture and values is on a slippery slope, thus Malay politics that represent the Malay masses thinking have and will forever fail to put the order of things in the right perspective.

Since it is the opinion of common people, it is rational.<br /><br />I can confidently say based on the many fence-seaters I have encountered that there is one common attitude. <br /><br />They are fed-up with today's over politicking. They want to hear things that make sense and some honesty be it by government side or their detractors. Stop thinking that their statements cannot be seen through as cheap and obvious perception play propaganda.<br /><br />The pro Tun M people are motivated to bring Najib down at any cost to even lying. There is no credibility there. <br /><br />The pro dato Najib seemed not to want to answer issues openly and thus making them lose credibility. How could govt not knwo what is happening and give immediate answer.<br /><br />We fence seater (... ouch our ass) know there is problem with 1mdb but it is sickening to hear of too many cook-up stories. Most obvious are the ones claiming to have received documents, proofs and correspondance but not publish it.<br /><br />We are smelling (but not confirming) there is cover up when govt try to buy time to answer questions and recently the 2 CEOs could not ready in 3/4 days when they had known this is coming. <br /><br />We fence seater could sense that this 1MDB thing is not about GST policy or Br1M policy or about rakyat.<br /><br />It is actually about old IPP tycoon fighting new IPP tycoon and Tun M is backing the IPP tycoons that made RM100 billion from public coffer and gobbling up RM19 billion a year of subsidy!<br /><br />It is also not irrational because it is about sheer power play.
