So what about the public?
Hey! This is nonsense! Utter rubbish!
Read the news : Toll Hike
So, does this appear to be politically correct! The government refuses to increase our pay but increases our expenses - yes expenses as from January 1st not only toll prices will go up but every other businessman will increase the price of their goods! Or is this a political play around to announce something, see the public reaction which is bloody obvious and then play a bargain of 50% discount( which is 30% increase rather than the 60%) to show that the government still cares! Dirty politics - either way they win — if public keeps quiet they get 60% increase and businessman and politicians will all be happy! and if public does make an outcry- they still get the 30% increase and make 2/3 of the naturally contended public happy to vote for them!
Share the burden - is what Najib said — goodness we dont have too do so if we get rid of so many middle man-cronies who increases the prices exhorbitantly just for profit! An initial price of a brick which cost RM5 for example would cost RM25 at the site of construction - no I am wrong - maybe higher!

What you want to do? We, Malaysians are a tolerant, peace-loving people. Nevermindlah, can paylor, little bit only wor? My foot, Samy Vellu needs his head checked and the opposition need to be more vocal! Migrate I say…to all who can..the country has gone to the dogs. Malaysia has made headlines around the world for its stupidity!

With the price of everything rising, maybe it is a good idea to migrate to the kampung ( need only walk or cycle to one’s destination ) and tanam jagung or sweet potatoes…..seriously, I like the idea , government servant ’s pay is the same everywhere and can last longer as things are cheaper …but kids love city life too much…sigh.
