cut subsidy only? what about pension time bomb?

Posted by DickyMe > 2023-10-01 18:56 | Report Abuse

Real bomb is pension. Pension for retired civil servants and useless politicians.
Even a one term politician gets pension? No wonder many want to be politician.
Leakage list is too long. Unproductive expenditure.
Too many unproductive enforcement department.
For each agency and department exist enforcement plus RELA.
On top of that you have "spies/little Napoleon" for each area.
What is the cops doing?

Exactly. Not until they plug this hole, the country coffer will always been drained empty - or worse with deficit budget is the new trend. This is like cancer. Keep spreading and it's root just keeps growing deeper and deeper. And the cure is obvious....

When you ride on a Tiger (subsidies, pension, handouts to B40), you can’t dismount from a Tiger. Trying to dismount from the Tiger, will make you the meal of the Tiger.

Country coffer got dried up because of big fat salaries, allowances and free expensive lunches and trips, followed by multilayered pension enjoyed by the minionsters and their little napoleans

Are you sure it wasn't the Subsidies and Emergency use of Funds (no limits and no questions)???

Posted by BobAxelrod > 2023-10-03 08:21 | Report Abuse

Huge salaries, Pensions, extravagant trips and lunches can only run up to tens or even hundreds of Millions.......................................but we are deep into Billions!!!! Do the maths.

For example, take jakimm a billion ringgit per year- you must multiply by tens of years, you see

If these billions were used to eradicate the poor, there wouldn't be any B40 by now

But- instead- money from p public fund goes to the haves - depriving the have-nots

reduce corruption, cut off the culprits - then the country can prosper.

Subsidies? make it fair for all Malaysians... not just B40. The richer ones WORKED a lot harder to get to where they are whilst many just wait for government assistance. Whats the logic?

Sometime I wonder why developers were forced to give special bumiputra discount to Bumiputra buyers on properties that worth a few RM millions?

Posted by BobAxelrod > 2023-10-03 13:26 | Report Abuse

Sslee, these Bumi lots cannot be re-sold to Non-Bumis, same as the Malay Reserve Land......

In most residential/commercial development, a certain percentage is earmarked as Bumi Lots. They cannot reap profits by re-selling to Non-Bumi .

Now I know why those politicians, sacrifice everythings fight till dead till no shame at all, everyday cling to power because of those so lucrative rewards after retire, so many layers of passive income or can I said, the rewards to politicians will be forever passive income, no wonder some old politicians reluctant to go to see their life maker, hope long long life
