Both Bn and PR have given their ‘political’ budgets, so how are we going to choose?
As a voter, we should not be partisan but rather we should look at a number of things before we cast our support to one side.
If both sides give deficit budget, then we must look at other areas , like how much leakages are to be tightened and how much of the borrowing to fund the deficits would go to individuals pockets through such leakage.
If there is no 308, and there is no risk of losing the next election, like in the past few decades prior to 308, would there be reforms and handout budget such as these 2 prepared by the 2 sides?
Had BN retained their 2/3, would ISA be repealed? I was once inside Gerakan and was near to the corridor of power , and had even met PM and voiced out directly to him. An example: i had been pushing very hard for ISA abolition. What I got is the promise that certain clauses would be reviewed, and that was quite some time ago.
It is only when BN is now facing the prospect of losing, and PM’s own position is not firm in the BigBrother, that reforms are being carried out, as a last resort to consolidate his position.
It is just like without the Arab spring, there would be no reforms as those promised by some of the Arab countries now..
History has shown us again and again that The powers-that-be are forced to concede to popular demand ONLY when there is a risk of losing power. Histoy has also shown us the trend of dominant government bending to people’s wishes, ONLY when there is a risk of losing power.
So do we still want a dominant government , or is it better to have a government that is more responsive to the rakyat’s wishes? would a dominant government or a 2 party system listen tot he ground more?
These are thoughts that should be considered..
What is the central ill of the present government? the culture of corruption and mindset of greed.. It is a culture of ‘what you can do for me and not what I can do for you”..
Will the alternative be any better? we wont know until we try.. We may get the same thing, we may get even worse, but then if we choose the alternative, we would have establish a 2 party system, and break the myth of invincibility and dominance of a old system..
What happens if the alternative is as corrupt? We throw them out after another round.. It is the only way for the Big Brother to cleanse himself.. Even many UMNo moderates have voiced that it would not be a bad thing for big brother to lose one term.. Then perhaps, the corruption and the race based biase , which is actually used to perpetuate BigBrother’s hold onto power and thus money supply for its warlords, would be slowly done away, so will structural distortion in our economy. Similarly, many veteran MCA and Gerakan members, some of them my personal friends and i can tell you that they really love the parties (it is almost everything to them after spending their whole lives inside the parties), believe that it would in fact be good for BN to lose one term and for MCA and Gerakan to really be reformed and rebuilt by casting out the greedy and ‘cari-makan’ ones ( these greedy ones would be the first to leave if BN loses power).. It is like when you love your children so much, and you know that they would be better to experience a fall (figuratively speaking), you won’t mind letting them fall once in awhile; it is ironic but actually true that if you love a person so much, it may be good for that person to go through certain trial and tribulations of life, instead of giving him silver spoon in the mouth and golden platter his whole life.
Unless there is drastic reform from the present government to do away with the corrupt practises, and everything being equal, I would not mind trying the other side for once.. Just to set the precedence and consolidate the 2 party system so that the voters got to be the Boss.
So everything being more or less equal, the side that would promise to cut leakage and wastage and used the saving for the rakyat would get my support. Not that I love them more , but rather it is the choice of choosing a POTENTIALLY (It may or may not happen) more prudent devil over the old corrupt devils that we know..
Unless of course the Old corrupt devil can really prove to me that it is really serious to cleanse itself of the wasteful and corrupt mindsets, and undergo drastic surgery to rid the greed culture and biased system ( it would be a monumental task, no doubt)…I will then be more than happy to cast my vote to the old devil..

Whether PR “budget” is better than BN is really not an issue. We all agree that change must come. That means BN must be ousted, even if it is for one term. The plundering must stop. Just to give you the scale of plundering, there is a feeler out in the market now, by a group of people in the corridor of power to do a currency swap for 15B USD. Money to be paid in Singapore. Exchange rate is 1 USD to 4 Ringgit, with immediate gain to the provider of the USD. The term is that, the RM must stay inside the country for 5 years. Tax free status will be given. This is money laundering by people in power trying to take this big sum of money out without it being shown in the books. The fact of life is dirty.People. Wake up.

Paid cyber troopers — Gomen Man
October 11, 2011
OCT 11 — I caution Malaysiakini, The Malaysian Insider and other websites that the Barisan Nasional government has hired about 200 cyber troopers to try and influence opinion on portals, social networking sites like Facebook.
These paid hands will post inane comments and even challenge webmasters to put up their comments. The idea is to create the impression that there are many supporters of Najib Razak and his government in cyberspace and intimidate others.
But in truth, they number about 200 and are paid by taxpayers. I urge the new sites not to put up their comments because they are paid hands and are not interested in any principles or in a better Malaysia.
Their sole aim is to perpetuate the present system despite all its flaws. The Najib government has apparently been advised by its good friends in Singapore that it needs to influence opinions in social networking sites and the Internet. That is why they have hired these cyber troopers.
So, please beware, Malaysiakini and others.

But those at the battlefields do not want to believe the growth rate to be achievable, why ? Don’t you think that they also wish to be in Najib’s good book. Instead they choose to differ.

Soon, roads would be resurfaced; new carpets and air-conditioning for the mosques; and there will be political campaigns promising millions of ringgit to the people.
In my son’s room there is a photograph of a former PM shaking my son’s hand. It was a very long time ago. It was published on the front page of a local newspaper which I brought it to a photo studio to have it retaken. He was just about a-year-and-a-half. I was carrying him in my arms. It was a simple handshake and an exchange of a few kind words. There were no promises of money or contracts.
In the UK, many politicians/ministers live a moderate life after they finish their terms of office. Most of them give themselves, not money, to the people. Not only they respect the rights of the people who elected them but they also respect the opposition’s opinion and point of view.
I will choose to elect someone who I feel are clean and willing to be poorer after they are elected as Members of Parliament or State Assembly Man. I believe there are still many angel politicians around.
One journalist wrote this… Quote: “He had to sell or mortgage his property, including his much loved hillock overlooking the scenic paddy fields…… Aside from using the proceeds to finance his political activities, ….. was known for his humility, generosity and kindness, gave as much to the poor of all races and religions. Had he not gone on to become the Prime Minister and be rewarded by the State for his services during and after his stewardship of the country, he could easily have been reduced to a pauper”. Unquote.

Looking at the current scenerio, the two main groupings that emerge with some form of formidable force are the BN and PR. To vote for BN or PR in the coming 13GE?… that is the question. While the older voters could see through the veneer of political manoeuvrings of the said parties, some could find themselves caught in a dilemma; especially the up-and-cyber savvy group of the new young voters.
Even before the actual GE date is announced, the incumbent leader, after delivering his people friendly-vote pulling budget, went ‘turun padang’ to the grassroots to test the waters and shore up votes for BN and also himself. This sent PR incumbents scuttling about and defending their territories in Selangor, Penang and Kelantan. Beside the opposition, the economists and intellectuals are begining to find weaknesses in the budget.
The BN onslaught takes on a hyper turn in the cyber world as their troopers pump up the attack against counter-fights from the opposition. This cyber warfare will go on for sometime and culminate to the actual date of voting and even beyond.
Does the nation need a change in government or continue to be governed by the incumbents for another 50 over years?
Some say: ‘Enough is enough.’ What is enough? Can it be purchased and it value factored into ‘I help you, you help me’?
If we want change, then what kind of change is suitable or enough for the nation which is slowly loosing its competitiveness among its neighbours and the world? Do foreign investors shy away from our transparancy, accountability, and competance?
Is the nation still mired in ethnic politics, wastages and leakages, corruptions and declining productivity?
Do the people want to exercise their right, face up to reality, and vote in a government of the people, by the people and for the people?
The incumbents definitely have their hands full and want to defend their seat ferociously at Putrajaya while the opposition surely stand out prominently in the coming GE. It is already written on the wall and perhaps also in the stars – the people will decide.

Dear dr hsu,
In debate like this we tend to miss the criteria that matter most to people ie the actions or deeds of persons that actually improve ones life and standard of living.
This is not new. History is littered with this. And we can see the interplay of this in our culture and kawasan.
In debate like this, people selectively dismiss what bn does for the people. As a result many misread the situation and the debate becomes imbalance for a self fulfilling purpose. Say for example we can argue on leakages but some are actually involved in an etp projects, see the benefit of it and will form a different opinion. For example in another pro PR blog a pro PR commentator went all out to support the mrt project giving financialnand technical justification since he was involved in it. Many of you may dismiss this and thus no one in any pr blog has ever wanted to touch the nkra and etp details but i believe it’s a folly to do this. As more and more being affected by etp nkra and now the budget many pr supporters seemed content to argue on a ‘syok sendiri’ debate dismissing the notion. I think they do this at their own perils.
History showed how this thrust of “improvement of standard of living” matters to most people be it in developed or developing world. From reagans “small governments conservatism” thatcher “privatization” to clintons “it’s the economy stupid” This thrust is what matters to most. What more in developing country. India is a good example. Prior to 90s people used to joke about “hindu’s rate of growth”. But when manmohan Singh and rao government took over and began devaluing currency, abolish export subsidies dismantle the “license raj” and embrace many other market economies policies that India then moved from the Hindu rate of growth to being an economic giant. Bangalore like area thrived. Its these policies and actions which improve people’s standard of living that people appreciate and be affected. Despite widespread corruption and cumbersome bureaucratic process people value this and now manmohan singh is still the prime minister of India.
So I think it’s wise for us to be objective. Leakage is a definite concern and must be addressed. But people now start to question that even with the leakages plug as envisaged by the pr budget it shows a limited upside if not the same as bn budget. It would be a compelling case if pr budget shows a surpluss and yet with many social welfare benefits like najib gave but pr didn’t.
Point is this is due to so few discussion on engine growth or wealth creation except to stop corruption and leakage. We need to move beyond this.

Ellese would like us to stress more on “what bn does for the people” rather than harping on “leakages”. By such a statement, Ellese appears to me to be implying that “leakages” from BN rule are tiny little unavoidable losses for which we need not be overly concerned. But are the “leakages” really tiny or are they more like floods?
Personal knowledge telsl me that the “leakages” are more like floods.
In claiming that others are being selective in pointing out “leakages” and ignoring whatever good BN has done, Ellese forgets, rather conveniently, that he himself is also selective in stressing on the good that BN has done and ignoring the wholesale looting that has been going on and are still going on even while the looters are preaching reforms.
Notice that I used the word “looting” instead of “leakages”? Because from personal knowledge, I know that the huge losses are not from unavoidable leakages but are from large scale looting.
Who knows? Ellese could even be one of the 200!

The people now want to have 2 sides, more or less balanced, so that they have a better choice. If you want to have 2 sides more or less balanced, you have to let the other side try one term so that they can show us what they can do.. They may be better, they may be worse, but having a 2 party system, the people will have the last say.. unlike past 50 years, where only one side dominant, the party election of the Big Brother is actually more important than GEs.
It is a form of divide and rule, and we the rakyat are now playing the games once played so well by the political masters of Big Brothers.
The side that is no good, kick them out until they become good. Try new one, and if they are no good, throw them out too, and get back the old one.. It is like consumers, try one brand of dish wash which is no good, they can always switch to another; and that is how things improve. each brand of dishwash will try to produce better one and create something that is best for value.. Similarly in politics..
People want a choice now. No more ‘father knows best’ type of attitude..
……………….
Once I met an old man in a supermarket and both of us were waiting for our other halves, busy doing shopping . The old man told me that he used ‘colgate’ for a few months, and then use ‘darlie’. I ask him why. He said consumers should not make anyone brand too strong. By doing like what he does, he makes sure that there will always be competition, and competition begets excellence..
we have not yet a 2 party system after 308, just one side no longer dominates with 2/3 control. But even with that, improvement starts to come, albeit little by little. Compared to after 2004, when one side is so strong, arrogance, kris raising, abuse of ISA to protect a journalist etc etc happened.. So if you are a wise consumer, what do you do?
I am just asking all of you out there to think like a smart consumer.. Use your brain and not your heart or emotion..

Cost to Govt: 400M RM
Paid to Contractor : 250M RM
Cost of Construction : 180M RM
See the leakages at the Contractor and Govt. There is at about 150M RM leakage or 37.5%. at the govt side. This is outrageous. I guess there is also about the same amount of leakages on the contractor side.

Dear all,
A couple of months back I read this book by Gideon Richman on zero sum game. Mainly its on a short economic history for the past few decades. It reinforced the timely principle that wealth of nation is made of bold good structural policies adopted by countries. To my mind our country has got many things right. But in our haste in becoming partisan we seemed to have lost this bearing and direction to recognise this. We seemed to not know what is good for us and delving wedges further and further apart. We don’t know what we want. The only thing that we know is a right depends on whether it is supportive of pr or bn. We can’t be doing this. We will be lost.
Nothing more telling than during the budget debate. People argue that bn budget will make us like Greece. I can accept this if you’re for a surplus budget or for fiscal conservatism. But when I pointed out that pr is for deficit spending it showed to me that many don’t even know what they want. One commentator even argued were not discussing about pr budget. To me this is simply not acceptable partisanship. It lead us to nowhere. No one actually know why both parties are for deficit spending. Neither do we develop on the measures actually required for surplus discipline budget. At the end it leads to nowhere save that you support pr or bn.
Why can’t we do more? develop what we want and policies for us to adopt like mentioned in Richman? There are principles both in PR and bn budget for us to make the stand. There are structural reform proposals in Buku jingga and pr budget as well as in the nkra and Etps. Why can’t we move one step more?

You talk on general matter without specifics and thus no one can fully appraised the veracity. If you wish to talk on leakages go ahead. Pr has been arguing this and even factored billions in their budget. Yet the end result is still a projected growth no better than bn.
What does it show? We need to also focus on income generation for us. How? By debating and determining what’s good for us. If not the rakyat cannot see any measurable benefit by pr. It’s like there’s no difference be it pr or bn. If pr takes a contrarion stand of surplus budget then it would have been a meaningful stand.

Go ask the businessmen in the street (i really mean those on the street not the tycoons ) whether business has been good for the past 6 months.
Prime pumping has no effect on restructuring or transforming the economy. It will only temporarily create jobs and generate incomes. Transforming the economy requires a paradigm shift in our mindset and culture of work and managing resources. But unfortunately we see nothing in the budget that tune to this direction except increase pay to civil servants and extending retirement age. To me, this is an insult as it leads to nothing in terms of productivity but increasing operational costs. SMI being one of the important sector of our economy but only granted an addition RM100 million loan facilities. Secondly education did not get increase allocation but defense and internal security did, Why ?
If the govt has done everything right, why only about 10-15% of our work force are subject to income tax. This is a disaster we deemed 50 years of genuine and dedicated “right” effort could only garner this kind of result. Perhaps I should say the so called experts working for the govt were not up to the standard or something fishy going on there which we don’t know.

What is structural reform and what is the requirement of structural reform? I copy from net : “The goal of structural reform is to create a favorable policy environment for accountable, transparent government with a well-defined public and private sector working in mutual reinforcing ways to promote prosperity and sustainable development.” The key word here is accountable, transparent and well-defined, thus the questions come to mind is did we achieved the objective, are we sincere and yearn to achieve the objective, or we merely want to reform for the sake of reform, and can’t tell apart form and substance?
Let me talk history, again, I cite here what happened 2000 and 1000 years ago in China on reform, respectively initiated by Emperor Han Wu-ti (HWT) and the very famous reformer once quoted by Anwar, Wang Anse (though I doubt if Anwar really be knowledgeable about him). During both periods, they set off a socio-economic reform whereby government took over the leading role to manage business and commerce in order to increase nation coffer and at the same time, improve military prowess. As aware, any reform would encounter objection and protest, therefore the first action adopted by the reformer is to negate freedom of speech to ensure there is no dissenting voice, to do this, HWT killed anyone that opposed him while Wang Anse removed those government officer that disagree with him. Without free speech being the foundation of good governance, accountable and transparency will deteriorate with the passing of time, but the worst phenomenon is as what rebuked by Sima Guang (one of the most famous China historian, the other one is Sima Qian that wrote the Records of the Grand History, and interestingly, Sima Qian were sentence to death by HWT but commuted with castration, his work had a great influence toward Sima Guang, that wrote the first China history in chronicles form, Zizhi Tongjian) against Wang Anse: collaboration between government and public would have the apparent effect to improve economy and living standard in the short term and often the result is glaring, however in the long term, this would derailed check and balance, thus corruption and rotten is inevitable. Sima Guang is right by looking at what happened to post-HWT period, and some of the reformed outcome by Wang Anse.
Without a mechanism to check the growth engine (Mahathir is no difference with HWT on certain context, the successor have difficulty to continue their legacy with a broken system) and by looking at our own history, I think both BN and PR have to do more to convince us what reform are they talking about, in fact I don’t trust both, but I would support anyone that would advocate (relatively speaking) true democracy with rule of law as underlying feature, and pave the course that would revert the country system back to separation of power between legislative, execution, and judiciary. We did give BN a chance, or many chances, and 54 years is not that short, perhaps we should give PR a try?

klm,
I can understand when you wrote “Paid to Contractor : 250M RM; Cost of Construction : 180M RM”.
The obscenely big profit margin of 39% (RM70 mil) can only be due to a negotiated tender. Typical BN government scams which many people with the exception of Ellese already know and acknowledged.
Whether or not you have proof is a different matter. Whether your claim is credible or not is a different matter. At least people can understand your statement.
However, your statement “Cost to Govt: 400M RM; Paid to Contractor : 250M RM” makes no sense to me, even with your subsequent statement “There is at about 150M RM leakage or 37.5%. at the govt side.” Surely you need to elaborate further to make your statement meaningful, though not necessarily credible.
My simple layman mind tells me that whatever is paid to contractor would have been the cost. Therefore if RM250 million was paid to the contractor and you claim that the cost to the government is RM400 million, you need to say something about to whom the additional RM150 million was paid to give meaning, though not necessarily credibility, to your statement.
Whether or not you have proof is another matter. Whether people agree or disagree with you is also a different matter. Main thing is that statements and claims must make sense to average and normal layman like me.

Dear CYC,
I’ll do a brief reply.
Noted many analyst report. Read from 2% to 6 %. (see mier and also) Check out the latest IPI index that shows robust growth in industrial output (particularly refined petrolium) which seems to lead to a growth exceeding 5 %. Let’s see how it evolved.
On bn transformation of economy, please look at nkra etp and 5 year plan for transformation on education social economy etc etc. Mentioned this before but no one wanted to explore. Not saying good or bad but think you’re making a general statemen. Read it. Im keen to debate if you want coz we need to put up some common stand. It’ll be better if we interlaced with Buku jingga and PR budget.
On income tax, please note one of the reason its like this is because we have high threshold which excludes many from paying tax. the issue is similar to both bn and pr handout in the budget. Im debating elsewhere that we should somewhat tell both parties the line and limit for social safety net. We will see more handouts in future by both bn and pr as this is popular. We are still developing and not a welfare state yet. we need to extrapolate a stand on this.
I’ve reread. Think i hit both bn and pr. On looking at bn good deeds its in response to a specific issue. I need to refocus some of the points in our policies which are right. Of course we should also look into pr good deeds in particular in PR states. We need to. But to me it’s crucial we look into these policy issues coz we seemed unable to make a consistent stand and be principled. Take the case of lynas. We should support pro development projects which have multiplier effects. The gni for lynas seems huge and the investment is strategic. On the other hand there’s environmental concern. Had a deep debate on this but none (including those involved) can articulate why it’s more dangerous than some of our mundane activities. On the balance of things, if we can develop a stand consistently, we could have decided what’s good for us. Instead it’s again what’s good for bn or pr? It’s getting ridiculous. The eaier we snap out from deciding right or wrong depends on bn or pr the better it is for us.

Another thing: most I met whose approach is similar to yours always change goal posts when debating. Please put a stand. Otherwise for the time being I’ll let you basked in your own syok sendiri with the cili and allow you to think others rasa the pedas.

Thanks for the interesting write. Learn something. My only reservation is that advent of Internet changes everything including our values. There’s no more restriction of ideas. It propagates easily. The London riot was striking. Of all the places, one would take it that they have a high freedom of expression. But there was still pent up frustration among lower class but this was given short shriff and not attended to. Thing is it spread like wildfires through the Internet then to the country. Amazing profound effect this Internet has. Another our own example is the bersih rally spread by Internet. Going forward our world has changed. My view is the approach of hwt or for that matter mahathir or even lky is difficult to replicate now.
Main challenge of our Internet mindset is to move people to a liberal democratic debate where we debate more on issues rather than personality. From here it forms it’s own opinion and followers and pressure point for causal betterment. We then get politicians to compete for our interest.

It just meant what was paid out from Treasury was 400M RM. The contractor took his share (and paid what he had to pay) and the rest went to others (the usual culprits in the corridor of power). This breakdown came from someone in the project who knew the actual costs and payments.

When the Australians, who are protective of their own environment, do not want this kind of industry, our experts here, choose to act otherwise by setting up this Lynas plant in Pahang.
This is an environmental issue of grave concern. The people in Pahang are worried, scared, concerned, and desperately wanting their future generation to live on. Even the orang aslis around that area are desperately concerned. We from other states should empathize with them, and help them in finding a solution.
Is there any debate long enough in the Parliament on this issue?
Will it develop into a human rights matter?

“Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will” as a famous thinker once said.
We need to keep hope alive if we want to see change in our lifetime.
1. It is heartening to see what the Finnish govt has achieved in terms of a good education system that is also egalitarian.
2. People are not stupid. All of us are capable of learning and of lifelong learning. We just need to have our eyes opened after years of exposure to propaganda and elite manipulation.
We complain about our rote learning educ system. But don’t forget that the products of this system actually fluorish once they go to overseas universities where there is academic freedom and freedom of speech.
This is why I feel that the alternative mass media and the Internet can play an important role in the informal education of our young people.
3. In the public health field, there is the “Public Health Supercourse”.
It consists of lectures uploaded by public health professors worldwide.
This can be done for ALL fields of study. It is possible to gain the equivalent of

Don’t be overly obsessed with Gdp and gni if the principle of fair distribution of wealth is what the govt must focus on. Instead, pls look at gini co-efficient index. Is narrowing or widening.
I hv not read buku jingga and not supporting anything comes out from pr. But i definitely not happy and think bn has a hopeless record. Policies can be very nice to look at but the crux of the issue is whether its implementation is true to the spirit of the policies and the result reflected its aspiration.
Economists tend to quantify every damn thing using their imagination. How do you quantify value of lives against short term economic gain. As rightly pointed out by Ambiga, Lynas enjoys a 10 years tax exempt status. Hence, the govt gain nothing as compare to the cost to rectify any eventualities that may arise from any mismanagement of the waste and Malaysia is not well known for its failure to even maintain public toilet properly.
Malaysia have high threshold on income tax ? You must be joking, Anyone earn more than RM3k already subject to tax and you mean 3k is a high threshold.? the only reason i can imagine is probably many muslim choose to pay zakat instead of income tax. And this is grossly unfair to income tax payer as zakat collection only benefits muslim while income tax collected will be share by the whole nation. I m not trying to be racist but in the spirit of true democracy and fairness, this is something must be addressed.

Agree with you Ellese, especially this: “From here it forms it’s own opinion and followers and pressure point for causal betterment. We then get politicians to compete for our interest.” but seem like they now compete who give the most handout 🙂
The issue is complex, Western countries welfare program actually do more harm when the rest open up, their competitiveness is now in terrible manner, I think they lost the balance, speech freedom and democracy alone may not be able to restore their past glory, however, I don’t think many would believe that democracy and free speech is the cure for economic ill, and we should not follow blindly the West wrt their welfare system.
To add on to what you have said, our present and future government must acknowledge that human aspire for both wealth or good living in economy sense, and the freedom to choose or liberty. Authoritarian government not necessary lead a country to poverty by looking at Singapore, and the recent robust growth of China, however, people also treasure the freedom to choose, to express their view, and free to read whatever they like provided they don’t break the law. The people in the West are now speaking up their dissatisfaction and unhappiness through various channels, that is up to their government action to right the wrong, if the incumbent government fails to solve it then the people can make a choice to elect a new government under the spirit of democracy, accountability and transparency complement the whole political system and climate, we therefore must not rely solely on internet, we must push for a more open and free society.in diverse aspect.

This is what cilipadi wrote on the budget:
“The big question is
Whether Najib’s government is spending within it’s means
Apparently not since the budget is a deficit one
The next question, how then to spend in excess it’s means?
By borrowing?
From where?
Who are the lenders?
Loan sharks?
Is this model ‘NAJIBONOMICS’”
Then I highlighted almost all developed country has worse deficit spending. Probably his adopted country. And then I also said pr has adopted deficit spending too. Dia rasa pedas. He then replied:
“What for I touch on PR’s budget?
Theirs not real, shadow, not their money
Like the old horse said.
Singapore, Japan, Germany …..and Malaysia
Malaysia richer than those countries?”
You can see through and through deficit spending was just an excuse to criticize. To him every other country can have deficit spending but Malaysia no because of Najib. But pr even it comes to power it’s ok. See the incoherence!
He question how we pay deficit. I then ask him to just googlelah. It’s basic and similar to his adopted country .it’s not new.
He didn’t even make that effort or at least try to comprehend and ask for reference. To me this reflects his character. It’s a waste of time. Then left him to himself to rasa his own so call cili.
But he craved attention and later i told him to write properly. Provide rationales and examples in writing. Be firm with a stand and principles.
So cilipadi, do that and I will answer your reply. I have not accused you of name calling. But will leave you with your syok sendiri cili and your sidekick streetfighter unless you start name calling n be personal. I will also respond if you want a reasonable coherent debate or the issue you raise (not about you) is pertinent.

of course, smoking is bad. 30% of all cancers can be attributed to smoking.. But the important point is , it is all about choice.
If a person, despite warning on the cigarette pack, still prefers to smoke, it is his choice knowing that the risk of cancer is there.
But in putting up the rare earth plant, did thepeople around there given a choice? Bukit merah residents did not choose to stay there. They have been there for god knows how many years before the asian rare earth was set up there. They were not given a choice. If given a choice , i am sure most of them would not want the plant to be there.
Same with flying The pilots , who are at risk of cumulative exposure of cosmic radiation, choose flying as a career, it is their choice. Just like I choose medicine, even though i know that chances of contracting infections are greater than normal persons, I choose it because it is my choice.
But people around lynas, or rather people of Malaysia, they are not given a choice over this plant. If people are put at risk for a hazard, at least they must have a say whether they accept the risk, just like in smoking, if yu know the risk and still insist n smoking , that is your right, but even so, now increasingly, authorities are putting up rules to do away the risk of inhaling second hand smoke. That is why smoking is not allowed now in planes, in restaurants, in public places.. It is a principle of safety, if smoking is hazardous, remove it from public places where people who object to secondaary smoke need not inhale second hand smoke. And that is what most responsible governments have done in the world.
Using the principles of smoking, like what ellese has chosen, People who do not like to be put at risk, however small is the risk, should have a say in whether the plant should be allowed to be built. By all means build it in the vast sparsely populated areas of Western australia, if the people there do not object, Just like by all means smoke in your own privacy, as long as you dont put others at risk.
…………………………..
To say that anti lynas people have no reasons, the whole article above , using the principles of safety, is reason enough. I leave it to your (my dear readers’)common sense and wisdon to make a judgement whether i have made a case above.

Dear cilipadi,
Since you seen to ask in earnest I will respond. You can google it to verify. Anyway I’ll paste it for you. Typically government around the world can raise money from the following:
“Taxation
Seigniorage, the benefit from printing money
Borrowing money from the population or from abroad
Consumption of fiscal reserves.
Sale of fixed assets (e.g., land).”
In borrowing they issue treasury bonds and other instruments from debt markets. Our public debt borrowing has been substantially raised domestically. Foreign debt has been very low comparatively. We have high savings culture.
So it’s not like a typical individual. In fact if you have high savings you should try to mobilize it for optimum growth balance and better return to savers.
