It's the mindsets and agendas behind all these doing. Why do we actually need them to tell us when will be the next revision and how much and so on and on? This isnt productive neither is efficient at all. They should divert their attention to many other things that urgently need to be fixed, like the deteriorating safety in the country, poverty and even stray animals. In Malaysia, price always going up especialy those uncontrolled items. Ever since the price of petrol jumped to RM2.70/L and now reduced to RM2.45/L, has price of those that increased giving the excuse of petrol price increased reduced accordingly? It's greed that filled these ppl with. How many cars they owned and how big the houses they stayed? The next time when you drive pass a bus station, just look at the ppl waiting there for buses, they deserved the attention of a real caring Government. And these very ppl might be staying at a room that's no bigger than those rich men's toilet. Greed will destroy the world we stay. Electing ppl to seat on position that command lotsa power but know very little bout responsibilities is as good as putting a kid at the driving seat behind the steering wheel of a bus carrying full load of passengers. Will you do such thing to yourself, your loved ones, your friends, your peers and the country you grow up with? We should do what a responsible citizen should be doing - voting the right ppl who care bout every citizens in the country and doing the right thing for the very 1st time every time.

Sadly over the past years, politicians has used this strategy to physco many races people. The country was rich then, and many problems be able to cover up. But we are facing a global economy challenges, and I have doubt a guy with a non finance/economy back ground able to handle such country? We need engineer to do an engineer job, we need artist to paint a good picture, and now if our country's management team (all those minister) is not capable to address the problem, will the Malaysia Ship able to keep sailing? Our country is in a crossroad whether we are either going to improve, or going back, since the globalization is eating us up without any mercy. Do you think the foreigner give mercy whether you are Chinese, Malay or Indian in doing business? and the more our country is diversify, the easier for us to break down. If the Gov keep on current form, I think within 10 years, it does not matters who is the PM (this is what everyone is fighting for now). Our country will be eat out by stronger countries. Until today, I still dont understand why as big as our country, and so many natural resources and tourism, Malaysia is view under Singapore. I mean, did anyone think about that? We are so diverted from the main problem (the economy) to the race issue (which is stirred up by the politics anyway). We are Malaysian. Only be together, we can compete in this globe, not only with SEA or Asia. The problem now, we dont have a competant CEO that not only raise issues, but provide resolution. Thats something everyone forget, to provide resolution than raising issues, that most current MPs failed to provide resolutions.
