JUST HOW FANCY OUR COUNTRY 'THE SO-CALLED - MALAYSIA BOLEH' IS!

Malaysia under the three spendthrift prime ministers have wasted the oppurtunity to make our country as great as our neighbour down south, which inescapbly will always be the yardstick by which the progress of the country and the achievement of our leadership must be measured.For 22 years under tdm we were pursuing 'development' agenda which appeared grandiose and visible at the outset but in my view wanting in substance. KLCC, putrajaya and some mega projects are all that we have to show for something like RM 400 billions of oil money?



The relevant social engineering questions that we need to
ask would include?

have we met the objectives of RMP 4,5, and subsequent rmp 's. I believe the gomen have skipped asking whether such objectives were ever met? Now we are in 9th mp without realising the effectiveness the 6th,7th, 9th malaysia plans. Can we say that we have less poor people in this country compared to the 1980's?

Statistics indicate that out annual incomes improved tremendously. But would this translate into a meaningful lives of ordinary people who make up 80 per cent of the population? From the terrible state of 'uncollected municipal rubbish ' in Terengganu I would imagine people in oil -rich Terengganu are among the hard core poor of this country.

Has the ministry of housing met the housing need of the population? We do not know what the declared objectives? But comparing the standards and quantity of housing with our neighbour's surely is like comparing the pumpkin and the small wild berry found wild..
Not having funds cannot be an excuse because we could afford a new airport, a F1 track and fancy putra jaya!

So far we have build all the grand infrastructure projects with foreign labour. Now can we build future buildings and infrastructures with our local expertise from our youth? Our social engineering in the youth sector is emphasized with lots of songs/videos on the rakan theme
with no visible success in any area. A few years ago 90 per cent of them were Malays. The story that a deceased top
police officer left a legacy of rm 47 million fuelled the
rumours that the assets could be ill gotten -the result of a
failure in drug enforcement!

Why in the world did the top leadership spend money for the monsoon
cup? An investment in goodwill as I cannot see any viable finacial
returns. Spending rm 800 million over 10 years to get a
couple of millions a year for the local economy?
Is the local politico thick in the head or plain unashamedly corrupt
like the deceased police chief who left a rm 47 million legacy?
Building silly stadiums [which collapsed embarassingly] and
fancy cristal mosque where there is no population to use the facilty
are the worst crime committed by tun dollah and his high
faluting level 4 morons .

The present pm najib is investing in a Formula 1 which I think is
extravagant considering the state of the economy today. It cost Sterling 40 million
to participate and another 40 million to run at the lowest level
in a year. This is big money for the whole country..
Is the investment going to bring in rm 10million in tourist
dollars in a year? Possible but a poor strategy for resource allocation. . There are
other pressing needs that need to be addressed. Employment ,crime
which are related to the lack of employment need urgent attention.

The free wheeling financial exuberance policies of tdm in the 90's
cost all malaysians dearly even today . A sialan that parents who
have childrens overseas have to lived with. No thanks to tdm
the exchange rate for the usd have risen from the wonderful rm 2.20
to the 3.60 that we are suffereing now. Why ? We want to sell
more protons? Is selling 30 000 protons or even less with falling
exports the reason why parents whose children are studying overseas
must suffer the extra cost of exchange rate?
