Too many things are happening around us----- activities attempting to win the hearts of the rakyat, sweeties for the desperate, and goodies for the needies.Worst still, the mass media seems to carry news and talks that seem to misinform the people of opposition leaders etc.
During the 50 over years of BN rules nobody even dare to question obvious doubts and mismanagement. However, the same people who were so quiet suddenly becoming so out spoken against the 3 year-old Pakatan Rakyat's rule in some states.Even though much credit and positive improvement were witnessed by all.
If all rakyat including those in Sarawak and Sabah wanted to see a change for the better in Malaysia, and to save Malaysia from falling backward in development and educational performances, as well as facing a possible economic disaster, let us throw behind the support for a PKR government.
People must decide their own future with their votes.
Whenever there is a possible general election, goodies are given freely. What happened soon after?
Go for a total change over.Vote with your conscience not with fear.

Do we really care?
I came across a mail regarding HALAL regulation. It is surely going to kill the food industry in Malaysia if it is allowed to go on as it is. How true can it be? The mail is as follows:
The Halal Hype that is going on in our country will force many SMIs involved in food production and distribution to close shop. JAKIM has muscled its way to make itself the Monopoly of the Halal certificate. In April 2011 the Halal Act will be passed by Parliament where only Jakim has the monopoly to issue the certificate.
Each certificate cost about RM1000 and with 2000 line items in my company I will have to foot out RM2,000,000 and that is if I am lucky to get all those approved. I might as well close down my business and retrench all the 60 staff with some 100 odd dependents.
The Government will be deprived of some RM800,000 worth of taxes and duties. The Food standard will definitely decline as chefs will have less ingredients to work with. The Halal procedures will increase the food cost by 10%. JAKIM doesnot care for the economy of the country. All it cares for is its rice bowl to ensure that it is relevant and seen to be working hard.
Look at the way it closed down IKEA for two weeks. Look at the way it closed down Silverbird in Nilai. It does not care for the business environment in this country.
Even mineral water has halal logo. Eventually all vegetable, fish, grains, rice, etc will need halal logo. Eventually all Muslims will not touch all non Muslims if the Halal fever is allowed to spread. Even Saudi Arabia is not as strict as Jakim. I have suppliers who could sell their products intoSaudi Arabia but not in Malaysia .80% of the food industry is run by Non Malays. One of the criteria to obtain the Halal Certificate for restaurants is to employ Malaysian Muslim. If you do not have any Malaysian Muslim in your restaurant you will not be issued with a Halal certificate.
Where are we heading????

It Breaks my heart to think of such.....
PEMANDU and Idris Jala are actually right to say that cutting subsidies could lower Malaysia’s debts, but the cuts will ONLY BE successful if leakages from corruption are plugged beforehand.
For example, government subsidies are being given to Independent Power Producers (IPP), so that they can supply electricity to TNB and earn profits. These IPP-directed subsidies are worth RM13 billion every year and they include the supply of cheaper Petronas gas to the power producers themselves.
There is a 20-year interest free loan of RM 320 million given to SYABAS, the Selangor water company. As SYABAS is also a privatised company, why is the government subsidy via a 20-year interest-free loan necessary?
The total deficit the government need to cover amounts to a whopping RM47 billion. The total subsidy is even more staggering -- about RM74 million. Removing the subsidies will NOT help reducing the deficits a lot, but a considerable number of poor and middle-class Malaysians will undoubtedly be affected.
Details of subsidies are social (RM42.8 billion), fuel (RM23.5 billion), infrastructure (RM4.8 billion) and essential foods (RM3.4 billion). If this amount includes subsidies for health services, then PEMANDU must review the market prices of medicine and various pharmaceuticals and then compare them with the prices at which the Ministry of Health is buying.
In 2008, the global price for crude oil is about USD140 per barrel, and the fuel subsidy the government have to bear was RM17 million. Today the global crude price is about USD70 per barrel, yet the govt. fuel subsidy has ballooned to RM23.5 billion. Why? Have we forgotten that recently the govt also spent RM8 billion on purchasing armoured vehicles and tanks not to mention another further RM3.4 billion for the infamous submarine that could not dive?
Idris Jala claimed Malaysia consume more fuel per capita than many countries. That is probably correct. But, has the government made serious efforts to combat the fuel subsidy leakage?
Take fishing fuel subsidy in Sabah as example. There are 1,200 trawlers registered with the Fisheries’ Department. However, there are only 200 real trawlers (physically present), this means there are 1,000 phantom trawlers enjoying fuel subsidies. How sure is Idris Jala that similar phantom trawlers do not exist in the Lembaga Kemajuan Ikan Malaysia (LKIM) registry throughout the country? And the government has the nerve to tell us that it is subsidising RM12,900 per household per year?!
Have we also forgotten the Auditor-General’s Report exposing misappropriation in the way of outlandish government spending such as RM500 to purchase 1 unit of screwdriver, or the same government-issue car being filled to full tank twice in a space of 1 minute apart, or Port Klang Free Zone’s project that has escalated to beyond RM4.6 billion from the original budget of RM1.1 billion?
Today, when you drive through Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP), you pay RM1.60 at the toll. The government said that you are subsidised at RM0.50 else, it should costs RM 2.10 to use the highway. But here’s where the corruption begins: LDP was built with RM1.42 billion, with a concession period of 1996-2030 but the government pays out RM2.6 billion every year in subsidy to the same highway company. What this means is that once the government subsidy is removed, each usage of the LDP will cost you RM2.10. So the question is who approved and signed the contract with the highway company? Who agreed to such toll rates?
In the United Kingdom, British students pay subsidised university fees. International students there paid fees from £8,000 to £10,000 per year. In Malaysia, local students take PTPTN loans of about RM21,000 for 3-year undergraduate studies. Foreign students pay only about RM15,000-RM17,000 for the same duration of study. The government is subsidising foreign students so that we can become the education hub. Why use taxpayer’s money to subsidise foreign students? Why can foreigners get subsidised medical care at government hospitals? And, it’s not just the government that is proposing to reduce our subsidies; we are actually already subsidising government projects!
Let’s take the ERL (express train from KL Sentral to KLIA) as another example. Did you know that each time you use the LCCT in Sepang, RM5 of your airport tax actually goes to subsidising the ERL? LCCT passengers like you and I who don’t use ERL are subsidising the ERL train service! No kidding – this was confirmed by the Finance Ministry. Why are we paying subsidies for a facility that we may or may not use?
In 2009 the government spent RM1 billion on sugar subsidies even though Malaysia’s sugar is now controlled by BERNAS following Robert Kuok’s sale of his entire sugar monopoly. In plain English that RM1 billion subsidy is specifically meant as BERNAS’ profits, which of course suggests that “what comes out from the left pocket, goes into the right pocket.” Of course removing the sugar subsidy means most food prices will go up. Our sugar prices may be lower than most others in the region, but think again – our fresh graduates’ salaries are also among the lowest also! Yet on the other hand our food prices are among the highest in the same region – any tourist in Kuala Lumpur will be able to tell you if by comparison Malaysian foods are or aren’t cheap.
According to Idris Jala, the government debt stands at RM362 billion and still rising and may reach RM1.158 trillion by 2019. The possibility he raised is that Malaysia may go bankrupt following in the footsteps of Greece. Actually this is counter to Najib’s own statement recently where he assures the nation that we are not affected by the Greece contagion. So why the contrast?
Actually, it is true that Malaysia is one of the most subsidised nations in the world. But think again, where else in the world can you find endless tolled highways in almost every corner of the city? Where else can you find foreign students subsidised in universities by the government? Where else can you get a government who can spend billions here and there, and yet warns you that “we are going bankrupt” because of subsidies?
Last week, we were told that Malaysia is 10th most competitive country in the world. But has anyone told you that just 2 days ago, Malaysia has been ranked 102 out of a total of 152 countries in terms of average Internet speed? We are 18 times slower than South Korea while Thailand is at 63rd, Philippines 90th, China 76th, Spore 31st, and Taiwan 36th.

What Can Happen There can happen here!
Read the following article copied from an email and see for yourself as what is happening in our beloved land:-
Have just watched a documentary regarding Greece's financial and am appalled ! These are the why's and how's that this historic and beautiful came to grieve.
Bureaucracy: Greece's bureaucracy is famous in the whole of Europe ! To open a cafe or pub there are 25 processes to go through !! This is a country of rules and regulations (which encourage corrputon).
Bloated civil service: There are 1.05 milliion civil servants (excluding police and armed forces) . The population of Greece is only 10 million !! More than 10% are govt servants !! Salary increases every year and benefit for civil servants in Greece is one of the best in Europe !! More and more money is needed to upkeep this bloated civil servants . The retirement age is 62 yrs old.
Corruption: Greece is the most corrupted nation in the Eurozone. Citizens pay "under table " money to:
# admit into a public hospital
# pass a driving licence
# to enter public service
# renovate your business premises or your home
# avoid income tax
Every govt project is awarded to political cronies and at hugely inflated prices ! Transparency International compared the prices of the construction costs of stadiums built for the Athens Olympics recently with similar structures in China --500% more expensive than the Chinese , compared to Los Angeles and Sydney -- 50 % more expensive !!! All these with tax payers money ! and borrowings !!!
Tax evasion: Officially 80% of its citizens are supposed to pay tax but only 37% are doing so. Big businessmen and corporations have refined tax evasion to a fine art ( or have the tax men taken some coffee money ? )
No transparency in governance: The politicians and bureaucrats falsified economic data and painted a rosy and manageable picture while the economy was rotting away .
Unabated borrowings: Meanwhile, the politicians and bureaucrats continue to issue govt bonds to keep afloat, series after series. They were trying to cover up the financial mess they have created creating one big hole to cover up the previous !!
Lacking political will power to reform: To keep hold on to political power, politicians are prepared to lie, commit economic and political fraud. If reforms were taken some five years ago , the country need not go bankrupt and its citizens need not suffer so much. Political expediency and greed to political power over-rides everything and hence Greece is now a bankrupt country. Luckily, it is part of the European Union and its currency is EUROs, otherwise Greeks will have to eat grass to survive !!
Laid back attitude: Tourism is THE ONLY industry in Greece and over the years the Greeks have had an easy time. Many flocked to see the historical sites. enjoy summer vacation on the islands. But they forgot that not many tourists will returned after visiting the sites --there are so many other tourists attractions in the world, maybe more exotic and perhaps cheaper !! So once tourism vanes and couple with higher costs of living --the Greeks could not and refused to adapt and transform --still partying and having a nice time -- maybe the Greek Gods will bless them !!! Greece have no natural resources, no electronics industry , no R & D --no anything !! They were so laid back --cannot see what is coming and crashing down on them. Even now, the civil servants refused to take a pay cut -- the world owes them a living !!
Poignant Conclusion:
The producer of the documentary had hired a taxi driver to go around while doing this documentary. The taxi driver had studied economics for 4 years in US and this was his parting words:
"My biggest mistake was returning 15 years ago, I should have stayed back in US. My nationalist instinct made me returned. The politicians screwed me. I loved my country but my country did not love me !!!!

Who is to Blame?
Of late people like to point finger at PKR state government for not able to fultill their election promises. What a joke?
Perak PKR did something so good that it became a great threat to BN so much so that BN had to use "magic gold" to get it back.
Kedah PKR had brought much blessings to the grassroot level, people like to make noise to cause confusion.
Selangor PKR had done much good to the state, so much so that BN tried hard to play the same Perak card but failed.
Penang PKR had done so well that the people are defending it from all unfounded criticism.
Kelantan is just as good as before in PKR hand.
If ever they said anything negative of PKR state government, they slapped their own faces. What had BN done in the last 50 years? And what to expect when the federal and some state machinery are still giving their support to the federal overlords.
Consider the PKR state governments are achieving their successes with one hand tied up; with limited resources and with rebellious undertakers. What a miracle.
If rakyat Malaysia is for the country, take all the goodies given during the by elections, and still vote for PKR! The goodies are yours to take, the votes are yours to play the game.
Hidup Malaysia! Hidup Rakyat Malaysia.

The Winning Game
By-Elections is just round the corner. Who should the people vote in to represent the people?
No "Yes man" please.
No " puppet" please.
We want people who is for the people and who dare to speak out.
Some may say it is not important ,it is just a by-elction. Oh no! Look at what happen to Perak State Assembly? Like a chess game, if you overloom some detail, you lost your states.
Keep the check and balance condition in the parliment. If the ruling party knows the people what to check on them, voting against them, giving to the PKR candidate, the ruling party would have to be careful in carrying out their policies.
Personally I hope the people will continue to support PKR and remind the ruling party to work inline with the people, or be ready to lose power in the next General election.
Vote for the betterment of Malaysia and the welfare of the people.Vote PKR

Is This What You Want?
Is Malaysia getting better?
1. The days when S$1=RM1 is gone.
2. The days when we earn RM300.00 per month, sungar was 15 cents per kati, bus fare was only 5cents,10cents and 20 cents. Today when we earn RM700.00 per month our sugar is over RM2.00 per kati, bus fare is RM1.50, RM2.50 etc
3. The days when we earn RM800.00 our car was RM7000.00 (1.3 model imported).Today when we earn the same RM800.00 the same model costs RM36,000.00 or RM30,000.00
Those days we witness rakyat of various backgrounds sitting next to one another to enjoy their school break hours. Today, they are separated by the brain washing of the system.
Those days you witness various people groups in the government services, offices etc but today it is a rare scene. It does not reflect the real Malaysia.
Is this what you want? Do not allow this to get worse. Make a change in the system----- make it to work for a better Malaysia. Ask yourselves, is it time for a change?
