Cut The Deepest, Cutting Oil Subsidies


10 percent cut? You must be joking. Is that all?

Pak Lah today announced the Government to cut 10 per cent of its expenditure to ease the burden of the public.. Why 10 per cent? Why not 30 or 40 per cent? After all its “elaun keraian”, for the time being most of the rakyat are living without it, it is not important, it is not necessary in their daily life. How can 10 per cent ease the public burden? The real burden is the rise on the price of fuel and food. It has risen more than 40 per cent.

Do Ministers really need to go overseas attending conferences and seminars? I don’t think so. We should stop sending our officials for seminars and conferences abroad, it is a complete waste of time and money. No more sending delegates for this and that trade forum.

The lists can go on and on. I personally think 10 per cent cut is a joke. Cut the deepest like you cut the oil subsidies. “Hendak Seribu Daya, Tak Nak Seribu Dalih”.
