The General Election-Part 2

I find it ridiculous when our government wanted more advance lifestyle in the country whereby the citizens can barely keep-up with the current livelihood. Especially when you have been loitering around in the east coast long enough to see into the citizen's pain.

So what if your people chose a sedentary lifestyle?
So what if they like it the way they are?
So what's the big deal if they prefer a secure government service?
So what if they felt that the current federal government is an intruder?

this is quoted directly from the article. I guess it must take a lot of courage to say this :-

He said cost of living was low before but most Malaysians did not have water, electricity, cars and other facilities.

"Now most Muslims can do the haj. People have cars and enjoy other facilities. Prices have gone higher because quality of life has improved but we are managing the country well," he said.

Monsoon cup, Crystal mosque, Praying in the space, upgrading PDRM quarters, airport extension, 62 mosque project in T'ganu state, indoor + outdoor stadiums, declaration of heritage waterfront city, Visit Terengganu 2008, East Coast Economic Region (ECER) and much more.

With mega projects more to come, it is as if money pouring down the drains... Do you think the rakyat had wanted all these? All this not only bereaved them of their family income but rather a subtraction due to increase in taxes and prices of essential goods. Trying to make them poorer?

What about approaching the poor ones at rural areas? When to provide them help and guidance with establishment of Yayasan, Kebajikan and other welfare system? Why is poverty still an issue in Malaysia that was said to have their quality of life improved? Why are the health services still at the bottom?

A heritage city with an abandoned shopping complex, poor transport services, a closed-down cinema and the stadium, airport is still under major construction?? I bet little would know about the abandoned and poorly-maintained museum at the corner of the city which is said to be the largest in Malaysia!!!

Don't show development by building sky-high buildings for nothing. It took more than four years to come out with rapid growth signs all of a sudden. Will it take another 5 years for history to repeat itself?
