I am sure BN govt will make sure all the savings go into their pockets to prepare them for the next GE.

And I am also sure all the savings (or losses) will be classified under OSA anyway, so....

"You just have to trust us and ask no questions!"

I can recall that we have planned to use the monies to improve the public transportation sector.

I can see some improvements in the transportation though: Traffic jams are getting better.

Pak Lah,

Where is your promise that the estimated annual saving of RM4.4bil in fuel subsidy will be spent to improve the public transport system?

The more I grow older the more I am convinced that our government is not doing a good job in the stewardship of our country's resources.

Credit for where credit is due. I think the government has achieve a lot in certain areas like developing the rural areas and also trade and industry. However, the waste is not justifiable and the amount of money being siphoned off does benefit the people.

I think there should be a different price rating for fuel. The ones with the bigger engine capacity cars have to pay more for their fuel than the one with smaller engine capacity car. I know some people might cry foul, but then I am all for the environment. Why penalized the smaller engined car owners. Subsidies should be given to them.

I drive a fairly big engine capacity vehicle right now.

Malaysian are just very forgetful about these billion-billion figures. However, when they are asked to pay cukai which might just be a few hundreds bucks, they will try every way to delay or even bypass the payment. Perhaps they should be told that they paid RM169(RM4.4b/26mil) to the government and now they should ask for refund of it.

So, we saved the big chunks so that they can organize parties eg in the name of celebration recent Tahun Baharu Cina bersama Agong, Pak Lah, his fellow ministers, etc in Melaka. Simply name the cost of publicity, decorations, canopies, stages blah blah...
Not to forget the report on none-chinese flyers and stage wordings for a Chinese major festival.

What impact does it give to our culture and tourism? You saved the money but you have no say on how to spend/utilize it. Bravo!

thanks for reminding us! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

there is no way im gonna vote for BN in my life...

A govt only carries the role of managing a country's funds and resources on behalf of all the rakyat. Those funds and resources don't belong to the administration of the govt. If this is a reasonable thing to say, one would ask for more transparency on the way the funds and resources have been used.

If RM4.4 billion was saved from removing fuel subsidies and subsequent fuel hikes cancelled that, then the govt should come out to say how much additional revenue did Petronas get by way of new royalty rates and export pricings that were outcome of the fuel hikes that would certainly more than cancel that sum of money gained and then nullified.

It stinks that the major contributor to our GDP, namely Petronas, does not release its accounts in full; we are not interested in just their gas and dagangan bhds; the rakyat want to know the full and detailed picture. The rakyat want to be satisfied that Petronas funds are not used in the same way as used by the city halls which remain less than cooperative to their stakeholders in releasing the details of their accounts.

Today the rakyat have just learnt that PLUS will make billions for a long time to come. Already irked by the frequent logjams of even tolled highways, one asks why should any concessionaire make obscene profits out of the rakyat in a near-monopoly market when it is reasonable to think that the original idea for the scheme was for the govt to make it convenient and cheap for the rakyat to travel. Unless you tell me that those were not the intentions at all.

Go ahead, vlad the impaler, tell us.

A govt that is not transparent and has a record of showing it is barely above the description shady in the way it has signed deals with vested parties (that later on profited to ghastly proportions against the rakyat) deserves to be roundly denounced.

And when the two most important offices mandated to exercise legal governance of the country under the PM wing are pally with each other over the presumed corruption by one, that revelation adds to the grief of the rakyat who barely days ago were stunned that in one case of corruption, the defendant explained the deed away by saying it was in accordance with the NEP.

At this rate, they might as well call for a national funeral for this country; the nation may live past fifty but it will be on life-support system. Provided that system will still be insured by those ravenous IPPs feasting on their loaded contracts. BTW, the rakyat want details of those contracts as well.

Until now, no one has said why government and government-linked accounts should be kept away from the rakyat. Not a single valid reason has been satisfactorily advanced. If there's a strategic advantage, say so, the rakyat are reasonable men and women. Why can't the govt do..the..right..thing?

All the money in the govt belongs to all the rakyat.

The rakyat have the immediate and ultimate right to know. That right resides with them, not with those who hold posts, invoke self-protective clauses, sleep on their jobs, spin about 'trillions' and spend more time thinking out slippery excuses than doing-the-right-thing.

Today we grieve for the 19th casualty of our four-year national-service programme. No wikipedia entry on the casualty rates of national service programmes in the world. But those were young men and women whose lives have just been snuffed out who could have lived full lives and be model human beings.

So now the rakyat want the accounts as well for the national-service programme. There cannot possibly be any threat to national security from withholding them. The rakyat want the accounts to see how much profit has been made which could have been parlayed into bigger compensations to the bereaving families.

As if money can ever replace lives and love.

For those thinking out now how to reply the rakyat, don't even think of just saying it's a small percentage. Review the programme immmediately and start reducing the daily training load. Open new channels for trainees to provide feedback if they so much as feel unwell. Don't make it a 20th.

Where are the improvements of the public transport system? Was the gov referring to yatch and plane? But, those cost nowhere near RM4.4b.

Was the gov talking about another transport system? Likely, about more 'compensation' for the toll concessionaires.

Hmmm, not sure if were are allowed to ask BN just

"Work with us, not for us" ?

The public transport system is still as bad. Traffic jam is still as bad. On top of that, toll prices are higher now.

as a moderate muslim, i will always vote for bn....no matter what you guys said
