An Umno-BN's heavenly kingdom

-

At first, the minister in the PM's department Idris Jala warned the entire nation that the federal government would go bankrupt if the current various subsidies were not withdrawn.

Then, another minister in the PM's department Nazri Aziz said that the federal government could not afford to provide scholarships to our students anymore. Today, Nazri says that ending the scholarships will help to stop brain drain.

The Umno-led BN federal government continuously remind the general public to cut down on their daily expenses, save their hard earned money and spent wisely.

Unfortunately, it is a grave disappointment to see that the federal government does not walk the talk at all. Their lavish spending on several mega and luxurious projects which are seen as not benefiting the people entirely.

Currently, they are undertaking the construction of a new and third grand national palace situated at Jalan Duta to accommodate the Yang Dipertuan Agong. The first palace called Istana Negara is where the Agong currently resides, while the second one called Istana Melawati which is situated in Putrajaya serves as the monarch's "winter palace".

Wow! Why does our nation's commander-in-chief need to have so many palaces to stay in? One is not enough, then build the second one for spare is okay, but now a third one is coming up. Will there be a fourth one sooner?

Malaysia is not like the Qing Dynasty's China. We do not have so many weathers like spring, summer, autumn and winter. So, why does the federal government want to build so many palaces. If you build two it is already more than enough, but if you are building the third one, a fourth palace will definitely emerge one day.

And the construction of the new palace currently cost up to about RM811 million. After the construction is completed, the palace will be empty for most of the time. Did you know, with this money, we could built hundreds of low-cost houses for the homeless and unfortunate ones, provide assistance to the welfare and charity centers, give scholarships to our bright students to help them further their studies at the higher learning institutions, allocation to schools, provide assistance for rural developments and a lot more.

But under the Umno-BN rule, all these provisions for the good of our general public are not happening at all. Prices of consumer goods and products are going up and up everyday. The federal government instead put the blame onto the various subsidies and not the spending misadventures of Umno-BN cronies and associates.

The federal government has a lot of cash to construct a new mosque in Putrajaya, planned to construct another new parliament building in Putrajaya (which was reversed later today and replaced with a proposal to refurbished the under utilized Putrajaya International Convention Center into a new parliament), so they could abandon the old one. The earlier estimated cost of the new parliament is also somewhat like RM815 million.

And they (the federal government) told our people that they do not have anymore money to give scholarships to our straight As students in order to support their studies. The parents of these children will have to struggle at their end to get their children into the best learning institutions.

Most of those who are working and staying in cities had even resorted to taking up two jobs in order to make their ends meet.

Even that so, most of these people could not even save much because of the increasingly high cost of living. Prices of almost all consumer goods had also increased drastically. Both the people and the business sectors had began to feel the pinch and pain as the result of the currently out of controlled inflation.

While all of us are suffering and working so hard to make ends meet, the Umno and BN top leaders as well as their families, cronies and associates are continuing to spend lavishly in their luxurious style like throwing money into the river.

Public funds has been openly mismanaged. Those who swindle these funds became not only wealthier and powerful, but they also turned brutal towards humankind. These lump of rich morons had in fact lost their humanity.

To make things worst, the Umno-led BN federal government also planned to impose GST in order to "improve" their financial stand and increase their cash reserves.

So, now you see, it is a blatant disregard of the people's welfare and sufferings. And if this situation continues, our entire nation would head towards the dead end.

Umno-BN said that the people's mindset should change and we should be grateful of them, but we cannot be grateful to them if they continue to misuse our hard earned money in this way.

We will not change our mindset, instead the federal government must be changed immediately. Do not blame the people for the current deteriorating economic situation.

Therefore, to set things back to order, change the federal government!

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Federal Constitution that Safeguards the Legitimate Rights and Interest of All Malaysians

-

The provisions of the Federal Constitution are very clear. It confirmed the position of the Malay Rulers, Islam as an official religion of the federation and special position of the Malays and the natives in Sabah and Sarawak whilst recalling that those provisions balance those special positions with safeguards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other communities in Malaysia which also includes their right to profess and practice their religions freely without being fear of any threats or being harmed by anybody. The legitimate interests of the non-Malays and non-Muslims would include, amongst others: a) Article 153 (9) says that business or trade cannot be solely reserved only for the Malays, b) Article 3 (1) says that the official religion of the federation is Islam BUT other religions are also allowed to be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the federation. This means, the other communities too have their fundamental legitimate rights and interest here ...
