2009 Whats hot and predictions on 2009

2009 has been on its 3rd week, so I guess I’m not too late to issue my prediction. It is just ‘wild’ predictions for 2009 based on my reading and ‘sixth’ sense. Some of it are baseless and open for arguments

1. Iphone won’t make it presence officially in Malaysia. So don’t wait. Buy from the grey market.

2. Netflix in Malaysia. Just see how junkies Malaysia are.

3. Proton MPV will be an instant success to Proton due to overwhelming respond and feedback from motorist during the test drive

4. Proton release the Proton Waja-replacement passenger car by end of this year

5. Toyota Camry will be used in Penang as its MP and state executive official car. ‘Nice’ huh, following the step of Selangor and Perak state gov. Luckily not Merc or Beemer.

6. Malaysia won’t be in recession, think positive!. Although the economy will slowing down its pace. The leadership shift this March will hopefully at least steers Malaysia away from current position.

7. The second LCCT terminal in Labu negeri Sembilan won’t get materialized. Certain content here make sense why it shouldn’t be approved at the first place.

8. Air Asia X fly to the US. Yeah, imagine paying RM1000 to the US.

9. Dell Malaysia closing it Bukit Mertajam plant. The rumors might true at the end of the day.

10. Affected by the internal financial scandal, Satyam resizing its operation in Cyberjaya.

11. U-Mobile won’t be able to compete effectively with other telcos and hence cease its operations.

12. DIGI rolled out its 3g services.

13. Streamyx launch 10MB bandwidth to all users. Heard the rumors from insider, hope it is true and with comparable price.

14. The economy corrirodors announced by PM last year will be just another ‘happy hour’ stories

15. Hill slide development will still be approved.

16. Cigar & liquor tax will get the price increase yet again.

17. Fuel price stay at the in region or $35- $50 per barrel due to economy crisis.

18. US economy will even worsen lead by the Detroit’s big 3 car maker, which will finally close it business.

19. Obama will follow the legacy of George Bush especially in its foreign policy.
