Question

An essay on "It is better to buy locally made goods than the imported ones"

Answer 1

Answer:

Our country's economy has drop vertically nowadays. This is effect by the consumers that buy import product more than local product. The government in our country has tried to solve this problem that consumers should buy only local products to revive the nation's economy.

             We have to change our attitude in believing that imported things are superior to local goods. We have locally-made goods which are of similar value and quality. Actually a significant number of goods sold overseas, items such as TV, radio, air-conditioner, VCR, shirt, shoe and automobile are made in Malaysia. We should develop a culture where we do not automatically think that imported goods are of superior quality over local goods. Many goods marketed under famous brand names such as Christian Dior, Piere Cardin, Levis, etc are actually made in Malaysia under OEM manufacturing. When we made these goods up to the quality of these name brands, why can't we buy these goods under our own Malaysian brands? Even when times become better again, when we can afford to buy imported goods again, we do so not because these items are of better quality than our products but because their prices are more competitive or because these goods are not available locally.

             We should also develop a sense of patriotism towards our own products.
