Hey,
Yeah, thats one of the things that is a shame here, been a Kiwi boy all my life & it saddens me that there are people who are so narrow minded and shallow. The main problem here is that the slackers & loosers get the publicity, whilst the hard workers, e.g. new imigrants, every day Kiwi's, etc ( BTW, I view anyone who is in NZ and is not a tourist a Kiwi, and if your a tourist then hopefully you like the place so much you want to be a Kiwi !! ) just keep their heads down & get on with it.
It's the age old story of people who are not prepared to get of their behinds and do an honest days work complaining that people who are, are taking an opportunity away from them.................Too many years of a nanny state govt that keeps spoon feeding the slackers & leaches................( Sorry, but have no time for narrow minded racist & biggots )
Yeah, the protests were justified, there had been a bunch of thugs targeting asian women, on the belief that they tend to carry more cash around with them than most,one woman was killed as I recall, at the same time a dear old grandma was killed in her home during a bungled burglary, and the police were doing very little about it. The asian community drew attention to it & made the politicans & police get off their backsides and work with community groups to work towards resolving & improving things.
Yeah, country is beautiful, very special place, but then there is beauty everywhere in this world, I can't wait to check out all of the sights when I get over to Malaysia..............
Cars heaps cheaper over here, have a contact in Asia to talk to about bringing cars in Malaysia at a reasonable figure, which is handy............
Its the taxes that kill imports in Malaysia, but hey, govts have to make money somehow right.
Cheers
