America.. Economy of scale. The luxury of choices!

I was a kid who was brought up in a country which used to be colonized by the Britain, had a chance to do a little bit of my primary school in the UK, studied in Malaysia which the academic system was quite similar to the British, and basically a lot of things in my life was about the British. Going to America was always one of the trips that I must make but I do not mind when as I strongly believe that I will at least step once on the land of the United States in my life. But I never imagine that it would be right now. =P

SUSI had given me the chance to be in the states and experience it not like most people will. Why do I say so? Imagine trying to cramp everything in 5 weeks and having program about America every single day. Even some American will enjoy something like this or they might get tired of it. Haha.

The journey itself from the other side of the world made me exhausted but it was worth every step. I would love to go for the details but I believe it better if you just read it from one of my Malaysia friend which is also in the program. They do a better job on that rather than I will. If you ever read my blog before, you will understand that I never really go into the details most of the time.

So what’s interesting about America? In my point of view, I’ll say that you will have the luxury of choices. You can enjoy a lot of stuff with a reasonable price according to your budget. As a very huge country that have a lot of purchasing power, America benefit from the economy of scale. Even the luxury good in the states is not as expensive as the one in Malaysia. For an example, buying Lamborghini or even a plane in the US will never be as much as expensive it would be in Malaysia. One of the reasons will be the economy of scale. With only 27 million populations, as a businessman, do you really thing that you can sell a lot of jet and luxury cars or even anything in a developing country as Malaysia? Certainly no. Jacking the price higher, some goods are being highly taxed by the government for various reasons.

I cannot imagine what will happen in Malaysia if the car price in the country is as same as the US. Maybe a lot more Malaysian will drive luxury cars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce or a Maybach. That is not impossible! Hahahaha. Even with ridiculous price in Malaysia, there are people driving it around town and a lot of people driving Mercedes and BMW. The most important aspect for me will be the quality of cars that will be on the road of Malaysia as general. Maybe we can decrease the number of death on the Malaysian road if we have better quality of cars with whatever the price we are paying currently for a car in Malaysia. Bare with me, I love cars. =P Everyday goods are clearly cheaper and the quality of everything on the shelves wherever you go will definitely be as reasonable as the price you can get.

Love to talk more about a lot of other things but I’ll catch you up later.
