Kurang manis budget
Malaysiakini - Anwar: Budget fails to address cronyism, monopolies
wakakaka! How can I not laugh when Anwar Ibrahim lectures the government on cronyism and monopolies. Anyway, let's move on.
Budget-wise or in everyday governing, for me, there are four important issues that I want the government to address appropriately, adequately and in a timely fashion, namely: Security, Health, Education and Rule of Law.
Security - While it's impossible to guarantee 100% security, do Malaysians today feel secure as their families and loved ones go about their businesses, shopping, schooling, etc?
The rhetorical question has to unfortunately a big NO!
I believe the general short term concerns of the public is internal security where oc! currences of crimes are frighteningly at an unacceptable high in our nation's modern history, while their long term concerns would be the presence in our midst of millions of illegal immigrants, both potentially as fifth columnists harmful to our national security and job stealers from our unemployed citizens.
Operational expenditure covers the maintenance of the existing police force, who unfortunately have not shown satisfactory performance, wasting away both resources and valuable time on monitoring and harassing non-BN political parties for a purely political agenda, instead of addressing what they ought to be doing, fighting crimes.
However, the blame should go principally to its highly politicized leadership - more of this follows.
At the policy level, the useless Home Minister should be sacked. Unbelievably, he has even failed to deal with (at least investigate into) unacceptable allegations of the former IGP having close association with shady underworld kingpins Goh Cheng Poh (Tengku Goh) and Tan BK while serving as IGP - for more, read Malaysiakini Bizarre case of ex-IGP, AG and an underworld boss.
We get to hear the standard mafulat excuse that there had been no investigation because, now get this bullshit, no one had lodged a report.
We keep hearing this same lame excuse time and time again, as if worrying (to national security) allegations can't and won't be acted upon if the police do not receive any official report from the public (unless of course, the 'worrying' issue leads to opportunities to harass non-BN parties and supporters).
Are they (the police) robots only to be activated by public reports?
But still, that excuse has been totally demolished by Ramli Yusuff, a former Director of the Police Commercial Crime Investigations Department, who asserted his point through evidence gathered by the CCID team, a statutory declaration (not challenged) and court testimonies.
So acting Law Minister Nazri should swallow his pride, bull and partisanship, and get about doing something on the very serious allegations against the former IGP, since the Home Minister is too busy with regrets he didn't have the opportunity to rehabilitate Noordin Top, one of the World's most notorious terrorist-bomber, or engaged in pampering cow-head hoodlum bigots.
For more of the Home Minister's wish to rehabilitate people, please see Malaysian prejudice and More than 1 way to skin a Chinaman.
On health I have to be fair and say tha! t, other ! than doubts about the quality of doctors our universities are churning out, the health facilities are quite decent.
Education? I have already written enough of the current shameful standards - basically, reckless quantity = regrettable quality.
But it's rather annoying the lamentable state of affairs in education has now been further made worse by politicization of secondary school education in the state of Johor where the nature of trial exam questions for students suggests those would be better confined in UMNO's party indoctrination file! s.
Yes, Johor UMNO official may be quaking in their sarongs at the possible fate of their federal and state candidates in GE-13 but is this the way for their education kutus to address their concerns? Such is those school authority's pariah mentality that we have to question for what purpose would be their politicized exam questions when those school kid aren't even ready to vote? With such an abysmal lack of intelligence (let alone intellect) I question their fitness to be educators.
Finally, rule of law - wakakaka, indeed it can only be a wak! akaka, wh! en the nation's so-called No 1 Law Officer, the AG named Abdul Gani Patail, is surrounded by so many scandals, including alleged fabrications of evidence in Anwar Ibrahim's Sodomy I case, black-eye hooliganism, and close family ties with the former IGP. Well, WTF else can we say!
For more, read Probe Gani Patail before he destroys govt's integrity - ex CID chief.
Our judiciary though from (rare) time to time has shown exemplary standards, has in the main been disrespected, distrusted and despised for their politicized nature. 'Nuff said.
However, I must compliment Najib on one point in his budget, namely the reduction of subsidy in sugar, wakakaka. Laughter aside, it's not only a saving in unnecessary public expenditure but a step towards the correct health direction.
