Remembering Saskatoon Canada - NEM

I'm imagining myself at Kuala Lumpur International Airport KLIA. Few days back I would have gone to the Immigration office to obtain my new passport. Now at the airport I am about to board my flight to Hong Kong, Vancouver and eventually to Saskatoon. Since I have no accrued taxes to the Malaysian government I do not expect any hick up at KLIA.
Arriving in Vancouver maybe I would be asked to strip naked because as a Muslim who came from a Muslim nation the body check must be thorough.Since I don't have any weapon or such kind I could then proceed to my Saskatoon flight gate.
Then at Saskatoon airport as usual I would rent a car (normally at Budget Rent A Car) but this time it would be different because I paid cash (from the money I obtained from nowhere few months before).My annual income does NOT eligible me for a credit card.
Driving the new GM made through Circle Drive west then to the University bridge. Finally I would be at Edwards School of Business University of Saskatchewan. At last I am able to proceed and finish my B.Commerce degree.

THAT WAS THE DREAM I HAD A FEW NIGHTS AGO...

As I was browsing my late father's files, I came across his degree from National University Jakarta Indonesia. As a biological son of his compare
1) my late father did not complete his DRS degree at National University Jakarta
2) I have 39 credit units left to complete my B.Commerce at University of Saskatchewan Canada.

....my father did not complete his DRS degree then because that particular degree was NOT recognized by the Malaysian government.


NEW ECONOMIC MODEL


When PM Najib revealed the NEM I always wonder what's in it for me. Since the aim is to increase per capita GDP from USD 7,500 to USD 15,000 by 2020 and the target group is the bottom 40% of the population, I myself fall into this category. Maybe PM Najib can lure me a way to find my own source of finance to LEAVE Malaysia.

ONE day I will go to Saskatoon Canada again. God willing!
