dirt in our wallets.

ok im back.

ok, the next time u open ur angpow which wud be tmr or so, dont be suprised, i repeat DONT be suprised if u open ur angpow and think that ur money has been vommited on by someone who has an appetite for that blue yucky kuih that u can get in pasars.

instead rejoice! for ur uncle/aunty/daddy/mommy was free enough to be out trading in their old notes for the new one instead of worrying abt out country's dire situation.
but while we are still on subject of dirt, i will explain why i think the new 50 dollar note is dirt
b4 that, lets take a trip down memory lane.

this was our first 50 dollar note.





i must say our 2nd one was really beautiful. rich with malaysian culture. excellent.


our third one, i must say, we cut down alot on the malay culture part but it looked abit more modern.



and then, in 1998 there was a draft, an idea to release a new 50 dollar note. it looked like this




its made of the same material as the 5 ringgit note. a change of colour, definitely an improvement. and that was exactly 10 years ago.

10 years after, we drop the motherload of shitloads.

brace yourselves.


taadaaaa. yes i can hear the *gasps* the *groans* and the all so recognisable *WHATTHEFUCK*
ok, im not art critic but i think i know fucked-up when i see fucked-up.
lets see, we'll start at the top left and go clockwise.

ok, i see the borders, its greeny/dirty yellow which totally clashes with the blue of the note. and the note itself, it goes frm light ugly to darker. and WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT UGLY PAINTING OF THE HIBISCUS ABOUT? was the country saving money on artists? did u guys pocket 90% of the budget?? fuck man, the red clashes and stands out on the blue background like fking acne on an already fked up face. it even looks like we took a few pointers frm the 1950-s.

but wait, there's fking more.


ok, dont get me started, the 50 sign at top right is either wrong colour or the country is really cutting back on funds. and that picture, that picture. UGH. did u hafta frame it??? kelapa sawit and molecules in the fking middle?? ok either we're trying to say we're a country that is all abt botanism or we're fking blind and confused coz we're not either. and the font of out number 50 is fking ugly. im telling u since the 2nd note, we've gone downhill like shit. GOD IT SUCKS BALLS.

thank u.
