Is Lying Our Best Policy?

We had been taught that it is difficult to lie and dishonest then to be sincere and honest. The more you lie, the more you will have to cover up, especially if you are a public figure.
Have our politicians figured this out, yet.
It is difficult to believe whatever our government says anymore.
Our Malaysian government made mistakes and every time in order to cover up, they made bigger fools of themselves. This leads us quite naturally to believe that our leaders are not capable of the tasks at hand and people who read both sides of the news would not be confident or comfortable with the present bunch in power.

Good News – Fuel Reduction.
The fuel price will decrease from today….Great!
They went on to say that it was not politically motivated by the coming P44 by-election.
Just deep concern for the suffering Malaysians, as on July inflation was up 8.5%. (Wait till you get your August electricity bill, easily 25% more than the previous month)
Why can’t they just keep quiet.
Didn’t they ever think of this before the drastic fuel increment?
It is too late to be sorry after you have beaten someone, half dead - just compensate for the suffering and the medical bill.
The more the government tried to show concern, after the fact, it only sounded so insincere and incompetent. Are they trying to take us as fools.

Look at the price reduction as tabulated:
It was further said that the government would maintain the subsidy at 30 sens for petrol and 50 sens for diesel. However, until the end of this year, the ceiling price is capped at the max. prices already happened this year.

Can you really believe what the government is telling us?
All these subsidies is nonsense, the price that is been increased the most and now reduced that least. It seems they are just habitual liars.
From the set of figures, it also shows that there is no policy to encourage more efficient use of fossil fuel, meaning the government does encourage inefficiency?
With present technology, most mechanical minded people will tell you that diesel engine is a more efficient engine. Most efficient petrol engines will require Ron97.
What they are literally telling us is to use 1960s technology in our transportation. Little wonder our fuel usage keeps pilling up.

Touch N Go Card.
In another separate matter, the customer service department head told us that its card only has a lifespan of 10 years.
When asked for the reason, he said like all electronic products there is wear & tear, as such only last for about 10 years.
Another typical case of lying, do our Mycard will only last for 10 years.
What he should have said, we like to make a bit of money out this, after-all it is only a ringgit a year.
We, off course, will hope to keep the RM15 if the customer were to abandon the usage totally. The same reason why we have so few reload centres around, where you can reload free of charge.
If we are inconsistent with what we say, we have to be lying!
