ONE phail MALAYSIA

what is ONE malaysia?

1Malaysia is an on-going campaign announced by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak on September 16, 2008, calling for the cabinet, government agencies, and civil servants to more strongly emphasize ethnic harmony, national unity, and efficient governance. (source : wikipedia)

yup. new campaign. but i dun see anything being done and succeed in emphasizing ethnic harmony and national unity.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — The new Istana Negara in Jalan Duta will now cost more than RM800 million, and not RM400 million as announced by the government in 2006.

Deputy Works Minister Datuk Yong Khoon Seng said the cost includes the construction of a new RM130 million flyover leading to the palace in Jalan Duta, and upgrading works on Jalan Changkat Semantan costing RM32.5 million.

he thinks he's living in a RICH and PROSPEROUS country ah?
people still sees us as 3rd world country with the HIGH crime rate, HIGH bribery and corruption, WEAK leadership that leads to WEAK government which SPENDS on UNNECESSARY things.

He said he was also shocked with the government’s reply that the projects were awarded through direct negotiations.

“This is against the principles of the New Economic Model. According to the Treasury, any procurement of more than RM200,000 must be made through open tender,” said Nga.

“How is it possible for the cost to increase by 100 per cent within five years?” he asked, before questioning if the cost overruns were caused by the practice of direct negotiations. (source : the malaysian insider)

yeah. direct negotiation and not open tender.
u get what i mean?

if its not what i think,
then inflation rate in our country is SO HIGH.
100% in 5 yrs. =)

Don't forget Datuk Seri Idris Jala's warning that our country will be bankrupt by 2019. Bear in mind that our national debt is currently at RM362billion!! (source : masterwordsmith-unplugged.blogspot.com)

the current financial situation of our country isn't that stable,ballooning debts and all, they still wanna spent money like nobody's business?

is the current Istana not comfortable enuff? or not BIGGGGG enuff must spend another Rm 800 million?

this is crazy. imagine u work work work so hard, they tax tax tax so easily, and dump ur money in to build a HOME for someone unrelated to u? =.= angry anot? (i knw im not paying tax YET, but i duwan my money to be spent that way in the future!)


seriously don't think this is one of the ONE MALAYSIA project.
unless Agong planned to segregate some of his EXTRA SPACE in his new palace for homeless people.


RM 400 million to RM 800 million?

not forgetting proposed new Parliament site at Putrajaya which costs another 800 million?

= CRAZY SPENDING !

another thing is,

Bernama reported HERE that Permata programme, the project that belongs to the PM's wife is getting RM100 million under the 2010 budget. The report said:

Exceptionally intelligent students should excel through the Permata Pintar programme that will be implemented by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in collaboration with the University of Johns Hopkins of the United States.

Elaborating, Rosmah, who is chairman of the National Permata Policy Executive Committee, said Malaysia needed a programme tailored for exceptionally smart children so that parents would stop sending them to other countries for education.

"If we don't come up with something now, these gifted children may end up working overseas when they grow up," she said, noting that such a situation would be a loss for Malaysia. (source : malaysia-today.net)

before accusing SMART malaysians for working overseas, pls think of what causes this.

unfair treatment? unfair distribution of places in local universities?
start treating us non-bumis fair instead of spending extravagance expenses which is ineffective.

then this is what u call ONE Malaysia.

*hoping this will happen someday, after all these EXPENSES*

Malaysia is goin bankrupt soon. please think of  where u want ur next home to be n start planning for a migration. *sigh*

been wanting to blog about this, but im afraid i might get bombarded by public (as if i got many readers cheh~) or arrested by policemen. =.=

anyways, not gonna go too extreme about it.

just my two cents.
