I'm having a feeling that we're now living in the same era as when Pak Lah was our PM. MAS-AirAsia deal, unstability in the stock market, denial that Malaysia is not affected by international events, reduction in crime rate (although almost every new development in KL is 'gated development'), PEMANDU/TERAJU/UNIK/AIM/MRT CO vs. PRASARANA, etc. etc.
Maybe I'm just hungry as I'm fasting at the moment. What do you think?

First term MP's worried they might not get benefits!!??
Read this in The Star today.
It seems that 'a big section of the first-term Barisan MPs and assemblymen in the other states apparently do not want the general elections before April.' Do you want to know the reason why?
Here's why: 'This is because they have not reached their three-year term and that would mean they lose their gratuities and pensions if they lost or are not renominated to contest.'
Some of us (the normal ordinary rakyat) would have to work for a minimum of 15 years to get benefits (pension, etc.) unlike them - only 3 years??!!
I thought the first and main reason why they want to be MPs and assemblymen is because they want to serve the Rakyat. Rewards, benefits, gratuities should be secondary. The joy of 'serving the people' should be a benefit in itself...
I guess that's just a dream in this Bolehland...

Malaysian Mega Sales?
I have the pleasure of watching YAB PM’s speech on the New Economic Model for Malaysia this morning on TV. Out of the eight Strategic Reform Initiatives, I particularly like ‘Re-energising the private sector to lead growth’. Based on this premise and ensuring a stronger public-private cooperation, a number of initiatives were announced:
1. ‘divestments of non-core and non competitive assets that operate in areas where new strategic shareholders have the potential to enhance the creation of value’, with Khazanah divesting its controlling 32% stake in Pos Malaysia;
2. ‘in order to promote higher levels of economic investment, expansion and growth, several parcels of land in Jalan Stonor, Jalan Ampang, Jalan Lidcol, Kuala Lumpur have been identified to be tendered out and developed by the private sector’;
3. ‘Government of Malaysia and the EPF will form a joint-venture to promote the development of 3,000 acres of land in Sungei Buloh into a new hub for the Klang Valley. This will lead to over RM5 billion of new investments being made that will have an immediate effect on domestic growth, with an enormous potential for the private sector to participate in prominently’; and
4. ‘We have begun a review of a number of companies under Minister of Finance Incorporated and other agencies, and I can inform you that we are considering privatization measures related to, Percetakan Nasional Malaysia Berhad, CTRM Aero Composites Sdn Bhd, Nine Bio Sdn Bhd and Innobio Sdn Bhd with more under consideration.
It seems that a number of national core assets are being tendered out to ‘qualified bidders’ for the sake our children and grandchildren future. Or is there a need to replenish the diminishing Government coffers?
