I don't understand what the Government is thinking. Why one side is allowed to spend (Government) and the other side is forced to bear (people)?
They increased the price of 5 essential items effective today, such as petrol, sugar and gas in the name of cutting subsidies to avoid the country from going bankrupt. Meanwhile, they are so kind-hearted to make sugar price more expensive in the name of safeguarding the people's health from potential diabetes and heart attacks. Wonder if they will do what they say by making sure the mamak or kopitiam charge lesser for teh tarik kurang manis & teh C kosong?
Just before this, Bank Negara increased the OPR 3 times in 2 months, and this directly affects the people as well. More people are burdened by this increase, because the banks are on the advantage side. Who doesn't know that loan interest rates or BLR raised faster and higher than fixed deposit (FD) interest rates? So, this is a double slaying of our pocket (..too poor to have a wallet).
Meanwhile, in June, the PM elected additional 10 Deputy Ministers, and all these means additional expenses for the salary, allowances and pencen (future expenses).
Then, I read this news from Malaysian Insider an hour ago and what this guy said was very true.
My advice to him; keep all your wise words and ideas, and we will make it possible for you to realize it soon.
