the problem with our people

api = mahu free

air = mahu free

jalan = mahu free

jamba = mahu free

sekolah = mahu free

toll = mahu free

kahwin = mahu free

mati = mahu free!

pergi cambridge and oxford = mahu free…

proton =mahu free!

seks = mahu free juga…!!

sudah kumpul duit banyak2.. pergi singapore, UK and america pergi belanja…kasih orang lain kaya! Jadi suckers to other places…

other problems with malaysian: like to stereotypes and compare other races….nothing has changed for the past 50 years, cannot accept each other's achievements or other society need for help

overall… malaysians are "muka free people" the motto, hidup mesti "free"

Direct toll collection increase is canceled. However G will have to pay money to the highway concessionaires, and that money will have to come from our tax money.

So directly or not, toll increase is still on, and we people will still pay. And pay. And pay,pay…..

I just hope the toll will increase alot. So that the one who use it is the one who really have the capacity to use it. Like Petrol. When the petrol strike high last year, even the federal highway suddenly no traffic. I miss that time.Just tax the oil. The more petrol we use the high tax we pay…. or maybe we can be like singapore, increase the road tax.. So that not many ppl buy car!! i just hope we can be like that.than the money will go to the high quality tar, improve our road, makes it 3 lane at least even at the small road. Improve our road facilities. Put more road side light. Improve our traffic light and make it more high tech and systematic.i just hope that our road will be like singapore.. really syok!! i love the Singaporean ways drove their car. they behave they are discipline, they have style when taking turn to right, they just the perfect driver in the world. but, only in their country.. muahahahaha.. come here 180 – 200KM/h… we should tax them also by using our road.. they tax us when we go there. why not we tax them. RM20/day for each car could support the nearly half million to the concession. and also improve our registring system for cars, and detect all cars who dont paid their summon.

there is a country call England where all the highways are toll free

maybe you guys want to move there instead?

ooh wait.maybe you want to curse the uk goverment for high income tax instead??

obviously the announcement is a tactic of the government to make pak Lah looks like a hero before he comes down. so why jump like beruk already?

and also DAP got a good proposal going.. I do hope its complete though.

toll free by 2015 does sound amazing. but comes 2015 we'll start hearing monkeys screaming again when the then government have ito ncrease other taxes to cover your "toll free highways".

imagine the hundreds of millions government used to maintain low toll price is used to improve our public transport, i wonder how that works out.

Open Mind, G has no money? you want us to believe we sent people to the space has no money? (and what does that been achieved btw?) It purely a sign of no intelligent to manage the economic in a whole or should i say the intelligent to manage flow direction to own pocket.

———————————————————

next time, you should watch and read Annual Budget. the G not totally spend the money to Angkasawsan only, but for Education, Health and bla bla.. I also not agree with angkasawan programme, but as far as i know, at the moment the angkasawan "roket saya lebih laju" was at the galaxy, so many malaysian proud of him.. Haiya.. next time read the annual budget la Bro..then you will know where the G spend the money… If you want the PurrFect Gov, play Sim City la Bro.. Aiyah..susahla ini macam..

Biggie:

Yes, we can see SOME agreements but not all. How many years did we have to wait to see the agreements? And my question to you is: what's the point of showing it to us only after signing and getting committed. Do you know that there are other concession agrrements that we still cannot see? The ERL agreement is still a no no.

Which minister are you referring to? The one that allowed us to see the agreemnts and went ahead to increase toll , only to be stopped by his boss?

[quote comment="215792"]I saw in a local daily one of the comments from one datuk (can't remember), he said "Dulu masa jadi menteri tak pernah bayar tol, sekarang kena bayar tol terasa bebanan"…. i was like, WTF?!! Only now u f**king realise?! We small fellas have been paying for tols day in day out![/quote]

[quote comment="215790"] Some of us always blame the G without knowing the real issue… As an example, our Gov have a plan to build new highway, but dont have money. so our G will appoint any consession to design, built and operate the highway, so they (concession) will charge until they get their money back.. Why not we blame the consession? boycott or something else, maybe use motorbike.. same thing happen when u blame Proton without knowing the real thing [/quote]

Boycott? Are you crazy? The concessionaire will use that argument to ask money (compensation) from the G. Either way we the RAKYAT loose.

If our minister knows anything about economy, he wont stupidly say the word about "ask the seller to reduce milo price" since it wont work! We can choose not to drink milo! The open economy is a free, but our monopolized item like Oil, Tol is killing all the public. We dont have good transportation, so we need to support our national car program in buying expensive car price, then we have to pay tol to every road outside our house, and road tax, and then Oil tax! This whole thing will be recorded in the history as the biggest culprit to make the public suffered..and there is still people voting to them! and also buying things from those non-responsible company that run the tol since the financial result sucks that the only way is raise the controlled item in Tol! Shareholder my a$$, who is the major share holder? This companies should be boy-cott by the public!

Apparently the scheduled toll rates hike may be put on HOLD following the Prime Minister’s comment late last night.

another not so great news during this bad year.

Well I spent 4 hours looking through the agreements, nothing to it, simply a bad agreement. And both parties are locked in for 50 yrs.

—————————————————–

Oil price is going down, cost cutting every where, people losing a job (including Perak MB and Exco). Interest rate is down. More car companies is closing. Economy become bad. Mini budget is coming soon shuld be helping people may be..Toll rate is increasing. When BN win, something will be naik dulu kini dan selama nya…remember PERAK.

Very clever Minister well done! Actually I though PM/TPM is more power full than Work Minister, but they not. ZZZzzzzzz.

Open Mind,

i'm not saying that we should not sign the agreement altogether… like i said before, as a layman I trusted our G do the right thing… we don't know the agreement at that time so obviously we have no choice but to trust them… expect them to study every details & make the decision that's the best for 'rakyat' not concessionaire… the thing is from time to time we can only see that Concessionaire have the upper hand.. G excuse was always the same, IT'S ON AGREEMENT!! wtf, don't give the lame 'change your lifestyle' statement… bullsh*T
