Manufacturing sector crushed

Western Digital, formerly known as Komag, is confirmed shutting down by March 2009. This shocking new came out after lunch and people are are still having the aftermaths effect of the news. WD closing down??! This means the unemployment rate in Kuching is going to sky-rocket after March.

Hmm.. I am wondering how long can my company survive. 4 days compulsary leave per month starting next year is a fact. But we can't be sure how long this is going to save our company. I think I need to look for part time jobs liaw.....

Some of the "cute" suggestions given by my colleagues:

  1. Grow mushroom
  2. Give tuition classes
  3. Learn how to do ABC. Then open a ABC stall (Ching's)
  4. Learn how to do SUSHI. Then open a sushi stall (Didi's)
  5. Open nursery (Pregnant lady)
  6. Grow cherry tomatoes. Then sell it.
  7. Recycle old clothes. Patch up those torns and cuts. Don't buy new clothes.
  8. Cook everyday. Don't go out eat.
See how terrible the situation is now?

I think ABC stall could be good idea, haha .. very easy to do only, good profit.

Komag's case is really an unexpected news to me.
