Who cares that cup of tea?

The Cabinet PROUDLY announced that a slash of 10% of their ENTERTAINMENT ALLOWANCES to share with people stress due to oil price hikes. The announcement also disclosed that the current allowances scheme are RM18,865 for PM, RM15,015 for DPM, RM12,320 for Minister and RM6,000 for deputy ministers, which is much higher than the middle range income. What about other allowances and salaries.
Also pity to our PM and all others can not "Phar Thor" openly in overseas except Asian. But who knows, there are so many conventions, conferences and seminars throughout the year.
In fact, the PEOPLE OF MALAYSIA should PROUDLY announce that they are slashing their SALARY by more than 10% to help the government due to their "never-prepared administration" and mis-management of the country in recent years.
Some ministers also SACRIFICE their tea time and souvenirs to show the sharing with the people. In fact, who cares about the cup of tea, we Malaysians are normally so generous and friendly, doesn't mind to 'belanja' coffee and even nasi lemak when we meet friends in the coffee shop. We also do not mind to 'belanja' the ministers even though they don't know us.
The fact is that the government should do their jobs properly, keep the money when the country is rich and assist the people when the crisis attacking. Instead, our country spend more money than the people do when the country is rich and want to make money from his own people when crisis attacking.
Soft and politely, we just want to tell our honour ministers one more time, we really don't mine that cup of tea. We could even give you more that what you have now.

the rebates that our government intend to disburse is only a tiny drop of water onto the pacific ocean....hokkien says " boh la sa "....do the government thinks that the rakyat will be happy waking up in the early hours of morning ( because traffic jam ) having to queue their ways to the post offices and waiting patiently under the hot sun ( because inefficency of counter service )to redeem their rebates or gula gula and the rakyat will be " happily ever after" ?.....sad to say money was not spend wisely and prudently before to face the coming economic slowdown and inflation....

I think they shd reduce their allowances by 40% instead of 10% as they increased the petrol by 40%.Also, they said they are doing the saving now but we shd think back, they were wasting such a huge amount all this while!! This is all themoney from rakyat.

We need a government that can seize opportunity and help rakyat to earn more money. We need the government that can have 宏观.Reading the star today and quite amused with the article on the son of the PM on his kris story.

Lately Barison National engaged in a belt-tightening drive with cuts in the allowances of Cabinet ministers, a freeze on civil service recruitment, a scaling down of official events and
also postpone major projects.

BN’s drastic intention to withdraw the fuel subsidies is just a capitalising strategy in sending out a message to the 5 Opposition State Govt that Federal Govt no longer have the revenue to allocate federal funds.

Next Coming Election, more huge lavish BN ruling coalition election goodies will be dished out to win and sway support !
