It's Friday Takeaway!

Sulhi Azman and Khoo Hsu Chuang looked back on the week and noted a weak week for the market ahead of US jobs data that could well have a large bearing on the Fed's rate policy.
Sad stuff? Quite a lot actually. On the local front, yet another helicopter down, this time involving Deputy Minister Datuk Noriah Kasnon.

The duo are also ambivalent on the Sarawak State Election and the inevitable outcome.
One more thing. Watch out for Friday's 1Q GDP announcement: it's Datuk Muhammad Ibrahim's maiden delivery as Bank Negara Governor!
