IT’S HAS BEEN BUSY

I wanted to add something to my blog for the longest time…somehow I never get around to it or whenever free time I had, my energy has long abandoned me.

However, today is kinna a slow day…which allows me to write what been going on. Well, my life is no more interesting than yours but I am kinna a “flesher” of a writer….i.e. telling a story about nothing, now that’s an art on itself, you know.

Been spending time on the project site and the people assigned to oversee it. Most of the conversation revolves around the suspension of Tan Sri Isa Samad and Osu Sukam.

I know everybody has in their own right to comment and deliberated on this issue because Malaysia is a free country i.e foreigners can come in and buy whatever property we might have, take our woman and sell it back to Malaysian at a higher price!

A lot of people who are staunch UMNO supporters generally supported the move because it reflect the hardline measure the Discipline Committee in UMNO willing to take to stem out money politics. These people agreed that while money politics in rampant in UMNO, Isa Samad is too obvious or too much for some other people liking. I don’t wanna add anymore because these people that I talked to are high brass people in UMNO hierarchy. Who am I to dabble in politics, huh??

But NO!!

I just had to asked….i throw one question to them “ Kalau betul pun dia guna duit, duit sapa dia pakai hah?? Takkan gaji Menteri Besar and Menteri Wilayah boleh spend millions of ringgit buying votes?? Duit nie tax-payers punya money la kan…??”

Man, when will I stop asking stupid question to a very obvious situation. Funny though…because they couldn’t garnered any real answer to a simple question.

The best reply was “Ala kau nie, semuanya berbau anti-kerajaan…apa yang kau tanya soalan yang bodoh nie”

“Yelah, kalau bodoh pun…apa jawapannya …? Katakan gaji Menteri Besar plus allowances mungkin jejak RM12K, 10 tahun jadik MB baru…RM 1,440,000.00 tapi korang kata dia spends berpuluh juta…mana dia dapat?”

“Err…err…err..”

I added that “ Bukan aku sokong pembangkang, tapi aku bertanya sebagai pembayar cukai selama 10 tahun….mungkin tak sebanyak juta aku bayar tapi aku rasa aku bayar cukai ada dekat ratus ribu…bukan setakat cukai pendapatan, sales tax makan kat Mcdonald 5%, Pizza Hut 5%, Carrefour 5%, macam2 laa….semua bercukai, don’t tell me I am paying for all these crap”

“ Kalau pembangkang jadik new government pun, aku akan tanya juga pasal aku masih pembayar cukai…sapa2 pun, aku tetap akan tanya?”

Nie mentality yang sebenarnya tak ada pada majority rakyat bumi yang fana ini bernama Malaysia, tanggungjawab sebagai pembayar cukai. You pay but you never asked what is being spend…

They rebuffed my statement dgn statement “ Kau nie sentiment sangat, takkan benda detail cam nie ko nak tanya…dia ada la fund dia sendiri”

So, aku tak sabar tak tanya “ O.K la kalau Isa Sama ada fund sendiri….abis, Osu Sukam boleh belanja 1.5 Pound Sterling main judi kat London, mesti dia banyak fund yek?”

“Setahu aku, judi merupakan dosa besar sebagai org Islam…kenapa Lembaga Disiplin tak ambil tindakan?’

I added “ you know what, with all of this revelation the most job in Malaysia should be a Minister..because you can actually earn millions”

Our IPTA & IPTS should offer a course “ Ministerial Science” because it pays more than most of the CEOs in Malaysia.

Hmm…the discussion ended with a lot of blank space on their faces and a bewildered face on me because they cannot answer my initial question. Buat ponek aje jadik perwakilan atau ketua Bahagian.

Alahai…Malaysiaku!
