“Malaysia spent 720m
ringgit ($204m) on sugar subsidies this year” Suhaimi
Ilias, chief economist at Maybank Investment Bank Bhd. in Kuala Lumpur.
Am I to understand that it
takes one year for our government to cut sugar subsidy to 25 million Malaysian
before they can recover the Rm$500 million given to Razak Baginda for services
rendered to Mindef in the purchase of the French Submarines? One year to pay
for his gallivanting across the world in his Ferrari while servicing the Malaysian
Government in the purchase of this submarine? One year of getting a few cents from ordinary Malaysian
people buying their sugar from the groceries day by day by day by day? A few
dollars from Batang Berjuntai today, a few dollars from Yong Peng tomorrow. If
they are lucky more ringgits from Pendang next week. All this money is taken
day in day out. Added up weekly, monthly and then one year down the road – 365 days
later – the government has enough to cover what has been given to Razak Baginda
many years ago. …and we are back to square one?
Apa macham ni?
What about PKFZ? What about
the bailout of that shipping company that belonged to Mahathir’s son? What
about the many many millions being paid to APCO? …so many “what about”…while
Najib sits there and scratches his head and arches his eyebrow .....

Cut wastage and we will get there sooner. Otherwise no amount of subsidy cutback can catch up when we are spending like there is no tomorrow. Already we are talking about spending 43 b ringgit for a MRT just for KL.
