"Malaysia will be bankrupt in 9 years" - Idris Jala
Idris Jala, a government minister warned that Malaysia will become the next Greece and will be bankrupt in 9 years. So, now the government is trying to cut off the subsidies slowly.
I think cutting off the subsidies is one of the way to ensure that Malaysia will not be bankrupt BUT the people will suffer. There are a few other ways that I think it will be more efficient to improve our country's deficit. The first way, No Corruption! The people suffer just because of corruption! The second way, allocate the resources efficiently. Our government had wasted a lot of money for elections. Anyone knows how much had our government used for all the 'buy-elections' since March 2008? I got no idea.
It is seriously a big joke to hear that Malaysia, a country which is rich of resources will go bankrupt. I know that the two ways that I mention is impossible in Malaysia unless there is a CHANGE. So Malaysians, get ready to go BANKRUPT!!!

"Non-Bumiputras will not be able to compete with Bumiputras"
"Non-Bumiputras will not be able to compete with Bumiputras" - This is what an officer in charge of the matriculation department told a student whom I will known him as Mr L.
Mr L applied for matriculation and he failed. He went to meet this officer in charge to ask why he is not qualified for a place in matriculation. The officer calculated his marks for SPM and co-curriculum and show him that he did not meet the requirements and hence he is not qualified. Mr L argued that why a friend of his, who is a Malay that got a lower grade than his are able to get a place for matriculation. The officer in charge ended the conversation with "Non-Bumiputras will not be able to compete with Bumiputras".
As everyone knows, for matriculation the government sets 90% quota for 'Bumiputras' and the other 10% for non-Bumi. Is this means that those 'non-qualified' students will also be given places for matriculation just to fill up the 90%? This caused those excellent students who can't get scholarships and a place in matriculation went study abroad. I think this is also one of the reasons that causes the drop of ranking of Malaysian Universities.
I know that this issue is quite sensitive and I'm not questioning about the special privileges for Malays as this is stated in the Article 153 of Federal Constitution. I respect their special privileges as I respect the Constitution. But I hope that at least for education, every Malaysians will be given the same equal rights. And I also hope that the concept of 1 Malaysia brought up by our Prime Minister is not just a SLOGAN!

No to GST!!!
Today, 1st May, the Labour Day! About 500 people protesting the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) marched to the Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall this morning. Six people was arrested by the police during the demonstration.
I really do not understand why police want to arrest them. Malaysia is a democracy country. Every Malaysian has the right to fight for their RIGHTS! Goods and Services Tax(GST) will only make the poor become poorer. Does the BN government wants the people to become poorer?
GST, 'Government-Screwing Tax'. The government is trying to screw everyone up!
Malaysians, stand up to fight for your RIGHTS!!!
Say NO to GST! HIDUP RAKYAT! HIDUP PEKERJA!
