Bankruptiing the Nation

I was having a cup of coffee one evening at the Megamall Starbuck. That place is always packed with yuppies who would discuss anything and everything under the sun.

Seated next table to me was a group of four deeply engaged in serious discussion on when Malaysia was going to be bankrupted at the rate the UMNO/BN putras were squandering the national resources.

What alerted my attention was when one of them posited whether one day Malaysia would end up like what was happening in MIddle-East and North Africa (MENA).

According to his views, there was a possibility if the UMNO/BN imbeciles did not change their attitudes, policies and ways of governing the country. The coalition comprised after ll a host of venomous vipers, crocodiles and asses. Nothing good was going to come out from them. Day in and day out, they delved on unproductive work like picking on quarrels, fomenting inter-racial and inter-religious disharmony and conceiving how to make money for themselves.

Look what happened recently - EPF invested the Malaysian workers' hard earned savings of more than 400 million pounds to purchase a building in London. The public hardly knew about this. What use and to what extent can this concrete mass benefit the rakyat of Malaysia? Who will ever see or use the building? Would ths acquisition help enrich the contributors? I think the MACC should look into this dubious transaction.

Now, the scums expressed intent to spend another RM700 million on purchase of the lastest arms. Do we need these arms? Why not spend it on education and awarding scholarships to all Malaysians to pursue their higher education?

"I felt extremely uncomfortable over the richest GLC -, that is, Petronas where only the PM has had access to its vault and expenditure. The crude that is being extracted belongs to the country and the people and therefore, no one commoner can claim exclusive proprietary right over the natural resources of the country."

In silence, I could not agree more. The veil must be removed and there must be absolute transparency and accountability of the PM in using the Petronas money. The PDA must be revoked so that the rakyat can benefit from the operating profits of Petronas. The only way is to vote the UMNO/BN out in the coming GE.
