Ahmad Ismail...Catalyst To......Come 16/9


Ahmad Ismail is a timely reminder to all Malaysians what UMNO people are made of, it is not the first time that such racial rhetoric was viperously used to rouse the sentiment of Malaysians, such was further confirmed by the UMNO divisions in Penang.

Are we getting used to such racial rhetoric?

Are we really that easy to forget and need constant reminder from the racial guidance of UMNO?

History was told that a country without unity and harmony in its populace would eventually meet its demise. UMNO had been the culprit for the past 30 years and perhaps it is a blessing in disguise that such timely effort is just ripe for a more responsible party to take over the government of Malaysia.
Malaysia needs a different direction that respect our constitutions, the 20 points agreement in the formation of Malaysia and social obligations both written and unwritten to take us into the future.
Such government should not undermine other social groups just for perpetual power in Malaysia. Malaysian problems had manifested themselves and any effort to change is a welcome sight.

Do we really need an apology from Ahmad Ismail?
This monster ought to be in jail long ago and so are some of our present leaders if our government is decent enough.

Our recent 2009 budget is a joke.
In June, we were slapped with fuel and energy increment of between 40 to 60 percent, to reduce subsidy.
As it was said, that the subsidy had inflated to almost 50 billion ringgit, equivalent to our development budget.
In September budget, our expenditure budget was increased, this almost double compared to 4 years ago while development budget is still at about 50 billion ringgit.
The last energy hike had caused inflation, unnecessary hardship, devaluation in ringgit, less domestic spending and discouraged Direct Foreign Investment.
Quite naturally, the government spending is increased, due to inflation. This is a vicious circle, inflation, more hardship and more spending. The biggest losers of all are those who save their money in fixed deposit, ASN, ASB, A Wawasan, EPF and insurance. How much do they really worth in a few years time under the present policy?
I do not expect the PM to know much in economy, though he is the Finance Minister but the 2nd Finance Minister had bad history, ought to be replaced immediately.

Never mind, come 16th September ……….
