See below for the full list of injustice in Malaysia that has yet to be resolve!

Under 52 years of BN/UMNO rule, many injustice, corruption and crime has been committed by their cronies! Below is just some of the case that I can keep track! If you have more, please feel free to let me know so I can add to it!

A summary of Goods and Service Tax (GST)!

For those of you who are too lazy to read a lot, I have gone through the net and summarize this GST issue which the BN govt wants to implement.

In a nut shell, GST works like this:
Supplier A sold his products to supplier B for RM100 and assuming 3% GST applies, he will bill supplier B RM103.

Supplier B has a policy to earn 9% on his selling price hence the cost to consumers will be RM110 (RM10 margin on RM110 selling price gives you 9% margin) plus 3% GST i.e. RM3.30 will be added onto the bill, making it RM113.30.

Supplier A collects RM3 from B and pays to the IRB within a specific period, like 2 months from date of invoice while B would pay IRB RM3.30 and claim back RM3.00. The end result is IRB getting RM3.30, 3% on the ultimate selling price of RM110. Consumers pay the whole RM3.30.

The above is a very simple illustration. In real life, goods and services pass through many parties before arriving at hands of ultimate consumers.

Presently the Malaysian tax structure provide that people earning below RM3,000 a month can be exempted from tax owing to the series of relief and scale tax rates.

With GST, everybody would be taxed regardless of income level, as long as he or she spends money.
For more information on the implications of GST, check out this page.

This is what our "brillant" PM has to say about the GST!
It’s not going to be an abrupt introduction,” Najib said, adding that if the GST materialised, the rate would not burden the poor or middle-class Malaysians.

At the moment, people with salary below RM3,000 per month can be exempted from income tax. Now a poor person in Malaysia should be earning less than RM3,000 and with GST, that person who was not paying income tax would now instead be required to pay GST.

Now how would that "not burden the poor"?

“And, it would not lead to inflation,” he added.
He has to explain how he can guarantee that there will be no inflation as a result of GST. Inflation is defined as generally increases in price of goods and services. Now if something that cost RM100 now becomes, says after GST at 5% , RM105, to me as the ultimate payer of GST, there is a price increase.

This is what our brilliant Second Finance Minister has to say!
If we can secure a sustainable revenue, we can get a good budget," he said.
Husni said the government was expected to earn 1.0 billion ringgit (294 million dollars) in the first year of the GST implementation.

MAYBE if the govt wants to secure a sustainable source of revenue, they should consider fixing the stupid expenditure in the auditors general's report first!

And the GST is expected to earn the govt a revenue of RM1billion!
Draw your own conclusion lah!

Is the government attempting to shift the taxes from the rich to the ordinary people??

First the govt, in this year's budget gave a 1% tax break for those who earn RM100,000.
Who earns RM100,000 a year but the rich!


Well at least the pirated DVD's, massage palour, and health spa (prostitution) will not increase their prices (since they don't have to pay GST)!

Auditor General's Report! Why hasn't anyone been charge?!?

Last year, the govt paid RM5700 for a car jack worth RM50.

This year, according to the Auditor General's Report, a government-owned vehicle consumed a tank of petrol worth RM113 within a few minutes.

2 Acer laptops cost a whopping price of RM84,640
A 17-inch monitor costs RM7,500
A pole platform that cost RM990 was bought for RM30,000
A thumbdrive that cost RM90 was bought for RM480
A cabinet that cost RM1,500 was bought for RM13,500
A flashlight that cost RM35 was bought for RM143
A welding machine that cost about RM20,000 was bought for RM4,1429.

Mara also spent RM2.08mil buying computer software it didn’t need

A national infrastructure company has been losing money for three years, causing it impossible to redeem the balance of the issued bond amounting to RM7.10 billion.

Even more absurd, a total of RM5.77 billion has been spent in the 179km Rawang-Ipoh double-tracking railway. Averagely, each kilometre cost about RM30 million with the overturn of 32.9%.
(source from MALAYSIA ALTERNATIVE VOICES and the Star)

Also today the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) claims that up to 60% of the Sarawak government allocations — running into billions of ringgit have been misappropriated.

WILL THE BN GOVT TAKE ANY ACTION?!?

NO WAY!

HOW DO YOU CATCH YOURSELF?

The new Istana Negara Report!

Questioning the monarchy is a dangerous area to talk about in Malaysia!
I will try to do so carefully! Back in 2006 the govt launch the project to build a new "istana" for the King.
It was suppose to be complete by 2009 at a cost of RM400million.
(source from
Bernama and the Star)
However it is coming to the end of 2009 and the Istana is no where near completed and the cost of the Istana has balloon up to RM1.1billion!
(
source from Malaysiakini)
WHY HAS THE COST GONE UP BY MORE THAN 100%??
The new Jln Duta Istana will sit on 96.52 hectars of land!
THAT's equivalent to 2.3 MidValley Cities, 4.9 KLCC parks, 209 Khir Toyo mansions, and 3,472 average semi-D houses (at 3,000 sq ft each). Our present Istana Negara, on Jalan Istana, is a historic building dating back to 1928, and it sits on 11 hectares of land. Our new Istana therefore represents a nine-fold increase in the amount of land that has been set aside for our Malaysian royalty. (source from Nut Graph)

I wonder how most Malaysian feel about this 1.1billion ringgit project at a time of economic crisis where the govt is suppose to try very hard to balance its budget deficit!
Biro Tata Negera propagates to the Malays that "outsiders" have come and stolen all their wealth!
I wonder what BTN lecturers has to say about the Istana.

I like what the author of the Nut Graph article wrote.

"...we live in a constitutional monarchy. That means that our monarchs are accountable to us."

"Where in Malaysia can we have such an open, fearless debate on our monarchical institutions? In the UK, open public debate has not resulted in anarchy and the monarchy's dissolution. Rather, it has resulted in a monarchy that has incentive to remain relevant to the people over whom it constitutionally governs, and also continues to be, on the whole, well loved by the majority of British.
That begs the question: Are our royals afraid of what the people think of them that they need to be protected from public opinion? "

"In Malaysia, I, for one, have no idea how much the rakyat spends on our constitutional monarchs. And I am quite sure that there have been no studies or inquiry commissions into this. Unfortunately, in Malaysia, asking for monarchical accountability of their expenses will probably be construed as derhaka, or hasutan against our royal institution."


"There are not even, so far as I am aware, any polls of enquiry regarding the general popularity of the various monarchs and their families, let alone published accounts of royal expenditure.
Under the
Ninth Malaysia Plan, all royal projects are obliged to be conducted by open tender, but as PAS's Mahfuz Omar has pointed out, Projek Istana Negara was not, and the project's costs have suffered as a result. Initially slated to cost around RM400 million, our new Istana Negara is about to cost the nation RM1.1 billion instead."


"Are the royal families not, according to the precepts of constitutional monarchy, legally bound to the Malaysian constitution, and thus at least financially accountable to the people? Should we, the people, not have some say in how we ourselves are financing our Supreme Heads of State?"

Barisan National Government Breaks Contract to Punish PRK states?


Is the Barisan National Government breaking their contractual obligation to punish PRK states?

Taken from Tengku Razaleigh’s official weblog

The Government has now responded to Kelantan’s claim to a portion of the profits derived from petroleum resources extracted offshore by PETRONAS.

Its response violates the letter and the intent of a solemn agreement signed between each State Government and PETRONAS under the Petroleum Development Act.

That agreement is made out in language simple enough for a schoolboy to understand, in both Bahasa Malaysia and English.

The Constitutional rights of the people of Kelantan are denied. However this has implications far beyond Kelantan:

1) It negates an agreement signed between the Kelantan Government and PETRONAS. By implication, it negates identical agreements signed by PETRONAS with every other state and deprives the people of their constitutional rights.

2) The Government’s refusal to recognize a straightforward contractual obligation on PETRONAS’s part puts a question mark over the status of oil payments due to the other oil-producing states. The States’ rights to 5% of profit derived from the extraction of any petroleum resources is based on a quid pro quo according to which the States vested entirely and in perpetuity all their rights and claims to petroleum resources to PETRONAS. In return for this PETRONAS is legally bound to pay the states the 5% directly

3) If PETRONAS no longer recognises its legal obligation to pay the States what is due to them under the Petroleum Development Act, the States, and in particular Sabah and Sarawak, will now wonder if the corresponding Vesting Deed by which they vested all their rights in their petroleum resources to PETRONAS remains in force.

4) The Government’s response substitutes for PETRONAS’s legal obligations under the Petroleum Development Act an arbitrary “compassionate payment” from the Federal Government. This casts serious doubt on the Malaysian Government’s respect for the sanctity of contracts and the rule of law. Let’s not talk about spurring investment to take our economy to a higher level if we fail to understand the importance of abiding by contractual obligations.

I helped craft and negotiate the Petroleum Development Act. As Chairman of Petronas, I signed separate and identical agreements in respect of these payments with each of the Mentris Besar of the States. I must insist that PETRONAS is bound by them and that the Federal government should not interfere in their fulfillment.

How the gov't 'looted' up to US$100 bil


Taken from Malaysiakini- When I read this report, I got so sick! Where are there still supporting BN?!? I just can't understand it?!?

I hope all BN supporters would read this report and Kick BN Out!

The multi-billion ringgit Port Klang Free Zone scandal may be big, but it is only the latest in a long line of scandals going back to the early 1980s.
Time magazine quoted Daniel Lian, a Southeast Asia economist at Morgan Stanley in Singapore, saying that the country might have lost “as much as US$100 billion since the early 1980s to corruption”.
The scandals listed below are only a small sample of the looting of the country's coffers:In July of 1983, what was then the biggest banking scandal in world history erupted in Hong Kong, when it was discovered that Bumiputra Malaysia Finance (BMF), a unit of Bank Bumiputra Malaysia Bhd, had lost as much as US$1 billion which had been siphoned off by prominent public figures into private bank accounts.
The story involved murder, suicide and the involvement of officials at the very top of the Malaysian government. Ultimately it involved a bailout by the Malaysian government amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Mak Foon Tan, the murderer of Jalil Ibraim, a Bank Bumi assistant manager who was sent to Hong Kong to investigate the disappearance of the money, was given the death sentence, and Malaysian businessman George Tan who had participated in looting most of the funds, was jailed after his Carrian Group collapsed in what was then Hong Kong's biggest bankruptcy, and a handful of others were charged.
No major politician was ever punished in Malaysia despite a white paper prepared by an independent commission that cited cabinet minutes of Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad giving an okay to a request to throw more money into the scandal in an effort to contain it.That was just the first Bank Bumi scandal. The government-owned bank had to be rescued twice more with additional losses of nearly US$600 million in today's dollars.
Ultimately government officials gave up and the bank was absorbed into CIMB Group, currently headed by Nazir Razak, the sitting prime minister's brother. Bank Negara lost RM20 bilThat scandal, which stretched over several years before its denouement in 1985, set the tone for 24 years of similar scandals related to top Malaysian officials and was the first to prove that in Malaysia, you can not only get away with murder, you can get away with looting the treasury as well.
Perwaja Steel, for instance, lost US$800 million and its boss, Eric Chia, a crony of Mahathir's, was charged with looting the company. He stood trial, but was acquitted without having to put on a defense.In the mid-1980s, the Co-operative Central Bank, a bank set up to aid the Indian smallholder community, had to be rescued by Bank Negara, the country's central bank, after hundreds of millions of ringgit in loans granted to a flock of Umno and MIC politicians became non-performing.

Some had never been serviced at all.
Although the chief executive and general manager were charged with criminal breach of trust, none of the politicians were ever charged. Before that, the Malaysian government was believed to have lost US$500 million in an attempt at Mahathir's urging to corner the London tin market through a company called Maminco, driving the world price of tin from US$4.50 per tonne to US$7.50.
It then sought to cover up the loss by establishing a US$2 company called Mukawasa from which allocations of new share issues to the government's Employees Provident Fund (EPF) were diverted. Mukawasa expected to sell the shares at a windfall profit to hide the tin speculation.
Mahathir also was behind an attempt by the then governor of Bank Negara, the central bank, to aggressively speculate in the global foreign exchange market. Bank Negara ended up losing an estimated RM20 billion. The governor, Jaffar Hussein, and the head of forex trading, Nor Mohamed Yakcop were forced to resign.'
Malaysia's Enron scandal
There have been many other political and financial scandals since. In 2005, Bank Islam Malaysia, the country's flagship Islamic bank, reported losses of RM457 million mainly due to provisioning totaling RM774 million as a result of bad loans and investments incurred by its Labuan branch.
Cumulatively, Bank Islam ran up non-performing loans of RM2.2 billion, partly from mismanagement and poor internal controls but also "years of regulatory indifference fueled by the misconceived notion of an untouchable Bank Islam because it was a favourite child of the Malaysian government, being the first and model Islamic bank in the country and region," according to a December 19, 2005 article in Arab News."
Bank Islam had a reputation in the market for being the spoilt child of the Malaysian Ministry of Finance; and the perception of the bank was more of a Muslim financial fraternity or government development financial institution," the report said.In 2007, in what was called Malaysia's Enron scandal, the publicly traded Transmile Group Bhd, whose chairman was former MCA president and cabinet minister Ling Liong Sik, was caught having overstated its revenue by RM530 million.
A pretax profit from RM207 million in 2006 was actually a loss of RM126 million, and a pretax profit of RM120 million in 2005 was a loss of RM77 million, causing the government postal company Pos Malaysia & Services Holdings Bhd to warn that its earnings for the 2006 financial year might be affected by the reported overstatement, as the postal group owned 15.3 percent of Transmile.
Bailouts and more bailouts
Over the years 2001 to 2006, the government had to spend billions to rescue seven privatised projects including Kuala Lumpur's two public transport systems, the perennially ailing Malaysia Airlines, the national sewage system and a variety of others that, in the words of one study, "had been privatised prematurely."
The government also repeatedly bailed out highway construction concessionaires, all of them closely connected to Umno, to the tune of another RM38.5 billion.In 2008, it was revealed that Rafidah Aziz, who had served as trade and industry minister for 18 years, had been peddling approved permits for duty-free car sales and allegedly lining her pockets. Two companies which didn't even have showrooms – one of which belonged to the husband of Rafidah's niece – received scores of permits.
Although Rafidah came in for heavy criticism from within Umno, she remained in office until she was defeated in party elections. In the 1960s, federal prosecutors in the United States who were attempting to jail the late labour boss Jimmy Hoffa for looting the Teamsters Pension Fund of millions of dollars with his cronies were puzzled by the fact that their revelations appeared to have little effect on the union's rank and file.
It was because no matter how much money Hoffa and his cronies stole, there was always money left because the fund was so rich. That appears to be the case with Malaysia.

Why Najib is slience about this?!





Liar Liar Muhyiddin Tries to Justify BTN

Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin denied claims that courses run by the Biro Tatanegara (BTN), or National Civics Bureau, were a form of political indoctrination.He said they were instead meant to inculcate nationalism and unity among the people in line with the 1Malaysia concept. "BTN courses are not for 'converting' participants to Umno and BN. There are no ulterior motives; these courses are well-intended," Muhyiddin told reporters in Pagoh.

I want to know, if the BTN is really promoting 1 Malaysia, why is it so secretive?
Participants are not allowed to bring in hand phones or any types of recording devices!
Participants cannot bring out any material from BTN as well!
WHY are Malays and non-Malays are separate for certain sessions!
I challange the BN govt to prove that BTN has no racist elements at att by showing the exact curriculum of BTN and opening up
the BTN camps to the public!

But the sad fact is that anyone who has been to BTN camps knows without a doubt that Muhyiddin is lying through his teeth!

How did such a man become Malaysia's DPM??

And why are the MCA, MIC, GERAKAN and all the other non-Malay component parties of BN keeping quiet about this?!?

KICK BARISAN NATIONAL OUT!!!
See this You Tube to know what BTN is teaching the Malays!

Kapal Singh shoots IGP's dumb remarks!

Taken from Malaysiakini
DAP veteran Karpal Singh failed to see the humour in inspector-general of police Musa Hassan's burlesque comments in response to the opposition leader's demand that the police stop interrogating witnesses after office hours.

On the contrary, the renowned criminal lawyer found the top cop's statement to be bordering on the bizarre.

Karpal had made the demand in view of the Kuala Lumpur high court's judgment last week that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) could only question witnesses between 8.30am and 5.30pm or in other words, during office hours.

However, Musa had ridiculed this, describing the Bukit Gelugor parliamentarian's call to being tantamount to asking police stations to close at 5pm.

"If that is the case, then those who want to lodge police reports after office hours can see Karpal," a news report had quoted the police chief as saying further.

Musa's statement irrational
Speaking to reporters at the Parliament lobby today, Karpal took Musa to task."(His statement) is irrational and verges on the bizarre," he said, adding that the issue was not related to the law requiring that police stations operate around the clock.

Karpal said the police and MACC were bound by the ruling in accordance with article 20 of the Lock-Up Rules 1953.
"The rationale in police stations being open 24 hours is for reports to be lodged in relation to crimes which occur round-the-clock and not for recording statements in relation to those reports," he added.

Karpal also responded to another statement by Musa, who said it would be pointless for police stations to be open 24 hour if the police cannot record statements from witnesses after office hours.

The politician noted that although Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) empowers the police to record statements from witnesses, there is no time-frame stipulated.

"However, what points towards that direction are the provisions of rule 20 which state that 'suspects are required to be confined to their cell from 6.30pm until 6.30am under the heading 'Time of Rest'," he explained.

No interrogation in lock-ups
Karpal said suspects are by law allotted rest time in their cells between 6.30pm and 6.30am and therefore "it defies logic and common sense how witnesses, who are not even suspects, can be denied this protection."

"In fact, they should be entitled to more protection. The question is not whether witnesses, including victims, who voluntarily come forward after office hours to have their statements recorded."

The question is whether in law they are required to do so, and whether the police can compel them to do so. Musa appears to be thoroughly confused in his approach to the issue," he added.

As to the IGP's argument that the police could record statements after office hours inside the lock-up using Section 113 of the CPC , Karpal said this was in breach of rule 20 of the Lock-up Rules."

You cannot question a suspect during his rest hours while he is confined in a lock-up. A lock-up is certainly not a conducive place to record statements, let alone doing it during odd hours of the night," he added.

In view of this, Karpal advised those who have been questioned as witnesses beyond office hours in the past to consider filing suits against the police and the government for false imprisonment."

However, this can only be extended to those who have been questioned as witnesses beyond office hours in the last three years as Section 2 of the Public Protection Act, 1948 limits suits against the government or its agents or servants to three years from the date of the default complained of," he said.

WHY DID THE BN GOVT RENEW HIS CONTRACT AS IGP?!?!

Nazri big mouth gets him in trouble again!

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz revealed today that Bukit Gelugor MP Karpal Singh can represent the Attorney-General (A-G) and prosecute Datuk V.K. Lingam.

Nazri stressed that the government has no reason to defend Lingam and that veteran lawmaker can charge him.

“If Karpal is willing to represent the A-G, I will persuade the AG to engage Karpal to prosecute on the behalf of the government,” he told reporters at the parliament lobby here. “Let him charge ... the government has no reason to defend Lingam.”

Lingam was implicated in a scandal involving senior judges and found by a royal commission to be the person recorded “fixing” the appointment of judges.

The royal commission found strong evidence against Lingam and in its report suggested that action be taken against him and others implicated in the infamous “correct, correct, correct” recording.

Other figures implicated include Eusoff, Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim and tycoon Vincent Tan, a close friend of former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Nazri explained that Lingam’s action may have been “morally wrong” but stressed that federal prosecutor could not charge him because there are no specific laws against it.

“Give me a section under any Act to charge Lingam. Give me an offence,” he added.

Karpal sounded surprised when he was later asked about Nazri’s offer.
“I am prepared to charge Lingam on the AG's behalf ... what has to be done now is for Nazri to shoot me a fiat (an authoritative order),” said Karpal.

He also hoped that Nazri would not retract the offer and, instead, help expedite the procedures to allow him to take action against Lingam.

“In this country there is a provision in the law for the A-G to issue a certificate which is a fiat to prosecute someone. I call upon Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz to advise the Attorney-General to issue that letter of fiat for the purpose of prosecuting V.K. Lingam,” he told reporters at a press conference in the Parliament lobby.

Karpal pointed out under section five of the Seditious Act (1948), “no person shall be prosecuted for an offence under section four without the written consent of the Public Prosecutor (A-G).

This Nazri is not very smart. He big mouth has put him in a no win situation!
Now if he does not get the AG to allow Kapal Singh to prosecute Lingam, people will say Nazri chicken out!
If he does allow Kapal Singh to prosecute Lingam and KS win, then people will say the AG and Nazri are incompetent!
If KS losses then the people will say that KS tried his best but the courts were bias and corrupted.
But what I guess will happen is that Nazri will hide behind the AG and say that the AG does not agree to this proposition.
A stupid and lame excuse since Nazri is the AG's boss lah!

How can the DPM be so stupid?!

Is the DPM's head so hard (kepala batu) that he does not need a helmet?

Is the DPM above the law that he does not need a helmet?

Is the DPM's head so BIG that he cannot fit into a helmet?

Is the DPM trying to be a crash dummy that he does not need the helmet?

Is the DPM so vain that he does not want to mess his hair by wearing the helmet?

Is the DPM so stupid that he forgot his helmet?

The answer is.............. I really don't care!

I just want to know what will happen if I make a police report (with this picture as prove) that the DPM has broke the law.

Will the DPM be caught or will I be caught for reporting it?

Special Thanks to PT for the pic!

Najib the Finance Minister Big Blunder!

This is an article taken from Malaysiakini.
Definitely worth reading for those who do not subscribe to it.

I bet not a few among the participants at the 21st Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Malaysia Implementation Council meeting were held aghast when Prime Minister cum finance minister Najib Razak announced that Malaysia was aiming for a nine percent annual GDP growth until 2020.

In an opening speech at the meeting held in the morning of Nov 9, Najib said: "We aim to be a developed nation by the year 2020 and we are looking to more than double our per capita gross national income from US$7,000 (RM24,500) to at least US$17,000 by then in order to qualify as a high-income nation according to World Bank classifications.

"This would also mean that Malaysia has to grow its GDP by over nine percent annually until the year 2020." (Malaysian Insider, Nov 9.)

Playing with the totally unrealistic growth figure of nine percent at a time when Malaysia and the world are still going through one of the worst recessions in memory with no definite light at the end of tunnel yet, did sound surreal indeed.

More so, when Malaysia's growth record in recent years have been anything but robust. Obviously advised by his aides that his gung-ho expectation was way overboard, Najib scrambled to control damage via a press conference several hours later when he denied having said nine percent.

He said: "I did not say nine per cent, I said around six per cent as nine is not realistic." But of course, Najib's denial came too late, as several news media including Bernama and Star had already quoted him at nine per cent.

Clumsy amendment
Though these media dutifully replaced the figure of nine per cent by six per cent in their updated versions in the afternoon, some betrayed their clumsy amendment by retaining the incongruous per capita GDP growth from the current US$7,000 to US$17,000 in 2020.
If indeed Najib had quoted six per cent, then compounding US$7,000 at the increase of six percent per annum can only bring us to US$13,000 by 2020. Only when we compound it by nine percent can we reach the figure of US$17,000.


Figures tell no lies. It was clearly a deliberate statement, not a typing or reading error. So the big puzzle: How could a finance minister, who is supposed to be the economic czar of a country, make such an unforgivable blunder?

Granted that a man of Najib's position is expected to have his speech writers lighten his work, but he should remain the master as policy formulator and decision maker, not a robot reading out speeches he could not fully comprehend.

Chairing over such an important meeting which deliberates the agenda of MSC Malaysia, which in Najib's words, serves as "a foundation to build a world-class technology sector to kick start a vibrant Malaysian ICT industry", I would expect Najib to be in full possession of a macro view of the nation's economy, the direction it is going, and the specific role the budding ICT industry is playing in relation thereto.

Void of substance
And central to all these is of course a realistic assessment of current and potential strength of our economy.


As finance minister, Najib is sitting at the apex commanding a vast bureaucracy of economic and financial experts and planners, and he should therefore be the best judge of our economic realities.

In fact, he should be the first one to spot any gross irregularity in major economic figures. If he is a competent finance minister, he should be the final arbiter as to what growth figure to adapt for policy making purpose.

Even allowing the fact that he is new to the job, he should at least be able to discern when a wildly unrealistic target is presented to him. Not to be able to sense that nine percent growth is way out of the reasonable realm is a horrible admission of ineptitude.

Under the circumstances, it is not unreasonable to surmise that this could be a case of an economic novice writing out a speech which was read out by an equally ignorant financial boss.

That may not be a far-fetched assumption, given that Najib's premiership so far seem to have been one gigantic public relation exercise void of substance to create the impression of change when in fact nothing has been changed. Not in our hopelessly decadent institutions nor in our utter lack of rule of law.
