Perak BN waste funds for the sake of Face!!

I blog this because I know the Star surely won't!

(Thanks to Malaysiakini)

Barisan Nasional (BN) government in Perak to dispose of 14 units of Toyota Camry cars will cost taxpayers RM518,000!!

The decision was made to support the country’s national car industry, with the month-old Camrys to be replaced with the Perdana Executive model.

The original price of the Toyota Camry was RM167,000

However, the current market value is RM130,000 - this means a loss of about RM37,000 per car. Multiply this by 14 and the total loss comes to about RM518,000.

This has nothing to do with patriotism.

The BN decision was driven by “prejudice” against the ousted Pakatan Rakyat administration. Why are the BN state and national leaders not buying the Perdana Executive for their private use and for members of their families, if they want to show patriotism by using the national car?

They prefer to buy foreign models with their personal funds.

Why the double standard?
