…somebody get Bernama a calculator (or a better voice recorder)! Odds are a Human Resource Minister wouldn’t make this kind of mistake:
"Some 36,000 Malaysians were unemployed between October 2008 and December last year or 3.6 per cent of the total population, Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Maznah Mazlan said."
We've suddenly and mysteriously lost over 60% of population otherwise.

I thought, I'm the only one who find this a bit odd. Hahaha.
ReplyDeletebernama probably have no idea about the difference between total population and total population participating in the labor market.
ReplyDeleteI find that among the media, Bernama is one of the more ignorant when it comes to things economic and financial.
