Subsidy country

2008-06-23T17:37:00+08:00

Malaysia since 10-20 years has been turned into a subsidy country.
Everything is artificial!
Petrol prices
Flour
Sugar
Rice
Vegetables
Chicken
Competition is not allowed through high import duties, or total refusal to import.
This subsidy craze now is rapidly undermining the country's economy.
Inflation up to 8.5% current government deficit they say 3.5% that totals an inflation of 12%. Still FD is still at 3% (when do you finally wake up Dr Zeti?)
Look at T...

Profitering.

2008-06-19T19:49:00+08:00

I think that after the oil price raise, lots of companies are raising their prices in a ridiculous way.
What percentage is the petrol raise in their costprice? Probably no more than a few %.
(Transport exempted)
Than I do not see the logic in raising chicken by 30%, taxi fares by 3-5 RM illegaly (in the city), foodstuff like vegetables up by 30-40% on local pasar.
Potatoes from 1.50 to 2.50 well i can go on.
Government takes no action anywhere (as usual) laws are a joke, if not e...

Grab your cookies...

2008-06-14T20:43:00+08:00

I was in Tesco Sungai Petani this morning.
The Postoffice was having a queue of a few hundred people, like idiots queueing up to get their Badawi cookies..........
Crazy, if they have to do something they queue because they do it on the last moment, they can get something free....hantam lah... all afraid they won't get it.
This is actually just nothing more than a one time hand out, and does not solve the problems created by the sudden petrol raise.
It is nothing else than a stu...

Pure discrimination

2008-06-14T09:48:00+08:00

The road tax refund of RM 650.00 i read now is only for Malaysian citizens.
Non Malaysian citizens do not qualify!
This is pure discrimination, we are good enough to pay the exorbitant import duties and other taxes on a car, but not entitled for the road tax refund.
Shameless, and typical Malaysia Boleh!
That is all i can say....
So now i transfer my car in a good friends name.... and will collect as well!!
Tit for tat....

Progress in hospital (3)

2008-06-13T23:55:00+08:00

The progress was not long living....
At my 9th chemo i found out that the hospital wifi was no longer freely accessible for patients.
They put in a password protection. I was pissed and went to ask how or what.
The answer was that the network was for 'kaki-tangan' only.
My question than, how many patients will come with a laptop to the hospital, probably only for chemo (1 in 10 maybe) and a few who are taken in for post-operation.
So out of 800 + beds probably 5-10 maximu...

A responsible husband....

2008-06-10T10:13:00+08:00

From the Star:

The Syariah High Court approved the application of Abu Bakar Embong, 54, after it found that the father of 25 children met all the prerequisites under Islamic law to take a fourth wife.
Judge Shaikh Ahmad Ismail granted Abu Bakar, who also has three grandchildren, permission to take Suhaili Alias, 25, as his wife.

He already produced 25 children mind you! Is this fucker a reponsible person, absolutely NOT? The wife is 30 years yo...

Penang taxi's

2008-06-10T11:18:00+08:00

From the news:
GEORGE TOWN: Taxi drivers here are gearing up for tougher times as they battle rising costs and the re-emergence of the illegal kereta sapu.
Well taxi drivers in Penang are getting what they deserve, finally!
They already flout the law for years by not using / refusing to use meters. The government has done nothing either and let it rot and rot.

I only can say, I hope for more kerata 'sapu' this will teach them and save the consumer his har...

Finally abolished

2008-06-04T21:20:00+08:00

The petrol / gas prices went up, well this was o be expected as almost 60 billion subsidies is unsustainable.
But the way they implemented it, is really panic football.
All the measures taken will prove to be unworkable. Raise the prices and thats it....
Maintaining susidies for fishing boat owners and all the others who want lower prices is nonsence.
If the fisherman has to pay more ok let it be, the price of fish will go up.
The governmen has waited way to long with abolishing ...

2008-06-03T17:37:00+08:00

The thing actually is so small that it fits twice in the average laptop.

M'sia still can see Petra Blanca

2008-05-23T20:37:00+08:00

Malaysia still can have a close view of Petra Blanca (now Singapore) as the Middle Rocks are something like 700 meter from Petra Blanca. See photo below.
