Dr Raman Letchumanan: Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak practices “cash is king”. I mean not his money but taxpayers' money. Mohd Sidek Hassan, the former chief secretary of the government, by
his own admission, received an allowance higher than his official salary
(as the then chief secretary) for doing nothing, but his conscience
doesn't prick him.
At the other end of the spectrum, we have the
dumbed-down masses who believe they are their saviours and protectors
against the “pendatangs” who work and earn the money they squander. And
that, ladies and gentlemen, is how Malaysia is governed by the supreme
race with religious fervour and threats. Still, we are nowhere
near Sri Lanka, a failed state. Malaysia is an economic and social
engineering marvel. I guess the key is adherence to true religious
faith. No wonder the civil service is so screwed up.
I am glad I
saw the rot and resigned. I 'donated' my pension to the government. I
would be ashamed to receive it even if offered. I am not of such
'integrity' as Sidek. He has abused the term 'gaji buta' to an utter
disgraceful level, where even animals fear to tread.
Meanwhile, army veterans who recently protested on the streets are drawing a pension below poverty levels.
All Things Considered: I am wondering what foreigners reading this news will be thinking. Is this a country of dumb fools, corrupt and utter idiots? It
is high time Malaysians thought about where this country is heading.
The top civil servant received an additional RM30,000 a month for
shaking his legs at home and keeping his mouth shut for all the
shenanigans happening with public funds by the former prime minister.
Meanwhile,
the poor Mak Cik and Pak Cik are toiling on the roadside to sell kueh
and nasi lemak to feed their families, and the ordinary Chinese and
Indians work their guts out to give their children a decent education. When
are the Malays going to realise they are being screwed every day by the
Malay elites and their non-Malay cohorts both in the government and
private sector? God help this cursed nation.
PinkCougar9549: When the chief secretary of the
government allows the then prime minister to make use of his name and
position to secure tens of billions in loans guaranteed by the
government, he is an immoral man. How can Malaysia have so many
shameless, greedy and selfish top leaders? And yet voters choose them.
If you are still poor, you deserve it.
