My Right as taxpayers: Don’t swindle us



Through current economy improvement in our country, 10.1% for 1st quarter. It’s shown a good improvement for this decade. Kudos! In addition, Malaysia offer to foreign investors to invest in important sector, provide condusif and better environment that will increase business enthusiasm. Also, he also claimed that it has save $24 billion government expenditure.
Despite this, something out of my imagination will be happen. Logically, good economy growth means that we have stable price. Thereto, current market price for oil is stable. Therefore, it is impossible for lucid leader/minister to increase price. Besides, no rigids explainations stated by PM to satisfied the public. Watch out! You owe me better explaination!

However, regarding new data from United Nation (UNCTAD) in World Investment Report 2010 shown prominent result. Based on that report, Malaysia was behind Thailand and Indonesia.In fact, we know that Thailand and Indonesia economic was poor and behind us once time ago. It clearly state that foreign investment in Malaysia fall 81% to US$1.38 billion (RM 4.43 billion) on 2009 compare to US$7.32 billion (RM 23.47 billion) on 2008.

Despite this, all ASEAN nations involve same problem which decrease in FDI entrance but not as serious as Malaysia. Thailand earns total investment US$4.44 billion or RM 14.24 billion whereas Indonesia earn total investment US$2.60 billion or RM8.32billion simultaneously rank Malaysia furthermost behind with Brunei, Cambodia and Timur Leste. In fact, Vietnam is furthermore than Malaysia.
This situation become more chaotic as FDI falling down but outflow of local fund is higher among ASEAN nation which is RM 25.77 billion.

Teamwork and Discussion matter: Where is gone?
Magically, this government decision was not discuss in parliament’s conference. It’s better to discuss the issue before one decision was made. Importantly, two brains are better than one brain. 2Malaysian is good than 1Malaysian. Thus, 1Malaysia is disgusting.
I wonder, during my undergraduate, student also told to discuss their project with their supervisor. Also, most lecturers always had given lots of boredom discussion group. Teamwork is one of softskill that had beenhightlighted by higher institution in order to produce compatible graduate. In contrary, our learders was not applied this teamwork. Thus, what is the point to implement this softskills into student?
The issues is when some of the member is not productive, it will burden the others. As a result, whole team will not obtain better grade. Look, parliament is good place to discuss this issue. Their function is to discuss this matter. By doing so, hopefully it will produce better solution for Malaysian.

I’m sure that all of parliament’s members experienced in doing so. Instead, majority of you come from reputable institution. Thus, it is good opputurnity to share the idea and bring something good to Malaysia. If some of you can’t applied it, so withdraw all the disgusting group discussion, teamwork (not working at all) from softskill criteria because our leader not doing so.

What is going on now? Is it teamwork is working in higher institution only? If it is so, please mention it earlier. You’re politicking the beauty of teamwork.

Price Awareness: Please stop hiking! Nonesense!
Did you know that our oil price increasing but the quality still poor and even worsen?
Who is going to be blame regarding this issue?
According to current situation, price of sugar, oil, LPG increase again. All 1Malaysia folk was told that this matter is in conjuction of subsidy rationatiozation program. In reality,
Hereby,after subsidy rationalization, new price as following:
Petrol RON 95 - RM1.85/liter.
Diesel - RM1.75/liter.
Sugar - RM1.70/kilogram
Gas LPG - RM1.85/kilogram.
Hereby, new gas price:
Barrel of 14KG - from RM24.50 to RM25.90 (up RM1.40)
Barrel of 12KG - from RM21.00 to RM22.20 (up RM1.20)
Barrel of 10KG - from RM17.50 to RM18.50 (up RM1.00)

A simple calculation from Tun Dr. Mahathir (2008):
"Can the Government subsidise? I am the "adviser" to Petronas but I know very little about it beyond what is published in its accounts. What I do know may not be very accurate but should be sufficient for me to draw certain conclusions.

Roughly Malaysia produces 650,000 barrels of crude per day. We consume 400,000 barrels leaving 250,000 barrels to be exported.

Three years ago the selling price of crude was about USD30 per barrel. Today it is USD130 - an increase of USD100. There is hardly any increase in the production cost so that the extra USD100 can be considered as pure profit.

Our 250,000 barrels of export should earn us 250,000 x 100 x 365 x 3 = RM27,375,000, 000 (twenty seven billion Ringgit).

But Petronas made a profit of well over RM70 billion, all of which belong to the Government.

By all accounts the Government is flushed with money.

But besides petrol the prices of palm oil, rubber and tin have also increased by about 400 per cent. Plantation companies and banks now earn as much as RM3 billion in profits each. Taxes paid by them must have also increased greatly.

I feel sure that maintaining the subsidy and gradually decreasing it would not hurt the Government finances."

We are not blind sheep: More transparent Media
The vast majority of the Malaysian population is merely sheep happily following the herd. Whatever is broadcast in the media (mainstream media) as being desirable to the masses suddenly and miraculously becomes desired by the masses. Whatever our neighbour owns or achieves becomes the object of great envy and we lust to acquire what we believe to be ours by right.

Thus, when we are shown a solution to a problem, any old solution to manything which interferes with our need to follow the latest trends, we accept it without question and cease to seek any further for ourselves.

Problems abound and so do solutions; but it is the easiest and most profitable proffered option which is seized by the patronizer whilst the poors are trampled underfoot in the
stampede to acquire the latest object of idolatry. And just like sheep who follow blindly and without question the direction of the herd, we are led through the gates of a pen to be confined at the shepherds convenience until it is time for the final journey, once again without hesitation and happy in the knowledge that we are with the 'in-crowd', through the gates of the slaughterhouse.

Therefore, a new government that more people oriented should be voted to demolish the embrassing, unfair, corrupted and conspirated party from governing our nation. You know better than me.

You are going down
Presenting the information concisely is a difficult operation due to the complexity of the interconnections between people, organisations and events. I have attempted to simplify this issue into a manageable amount but it remains merely the tip of the iceberg. It should be remembered also that nothing is black and white, no one is 'good' or 'evil' – such simple distinctions are part of the manipulation which encourages us to judge our federal goverment in order to create a better place for peoples in Malaysia.
