Subsidy reduction to benefit the people?
Malaysia Chronicle:
What's happening? Are prices going to rocket and hit Malaysians where it hurts most - in their pockets! According to the media, the government will be making the announcement anytime now.
RON 95 and 97 may go up 5 sen, LPG 10 sen per kg, sugar 25 sen per kg, cooking gas by RM1.00 for 10kg cylinder, by RM1.20 for 12kg cylinder and by RM1.40 for 14 kg cylinder.
It is outrageous. The increase may be small at this time. This is only the starting. Hard falling is coming. It is going to hit the people. Why the BN government does not do anything about the corruption and the excessive, wasteful spending? Are they saving the money to send another passenger to the space? According to PM, the saving from the subsidy reduction will be used in other developments which will benefit the people. Is subsidy not a benefit to the people?

The government has extra funds!
Quote from Malaysiakini
Parliamentary districts are to get a RM500,000 increase in allocations each as there are extra funds in government coffers, says Nazri. Unquote.
If there is extra funds in the government coffers, why the government has to spend it? Would this extra money not offset the budget deficit? Why not keep it for the rainy days? Why spend on the Parliamentary constituencies? Would it be spent wisely for the people? Would the spending really benefit the people?
