ELECTION WATCH (12): PKR's fuel promise is Achievable!

Provided the Rakyat wake up from their half-dreamy state to realise all along the Barisan Nasional has been keeping you "in the dark" regarding Petronas' "real revenues" and its secretive spendings, and give the Alternative front a chance to give the Peole what rightfully is their right to ENJOY -- the riches in the form of natural Resources that Petronas represents -- the nation's PETROLEUM.

The BN has poured scorn over PKR's "Fuel promise" -- that is, the Opposition party pledges that even as world oil prices go up, it will deliver on its promise that the prices in general, n NegaraKu, and prices at the pump in particular, especially where it hurts the consumers the most, will go down.

Desi has averred several times at this Blog the BN has been "telling lies"about the Petronas story. The BN leaders say it can't reduce fuel (pump) prices because the subsidies keep going up. But my assertion that as world oil prices keep rising, from USD50-60 per barrel, to USD90-100 per barrel in recent years, PETRONAS -- and thus Malaysia -- IS A NETT BENEFICIARY FROM THE NEW SITUATION. This is due to the fact that our country's petroleum is of a higher grade -- they call it "sweets" not for nothing! Malaysia's oil exports command higher -- add on a premium , YES! -- prices. Meanwhile it imports cheaper-priced crudes at a lower price for domestic consumption after doing its own refining.

THE REAL STORY WHY MALAYSIA CAN'T/WON'T LOWER OIL PRICES FOR ITS CITIZENS IS THIS:

There is growing and extreme wastages and seepages in Government spending -- recall Perwaja Steel's RM10billion losses, (ERIC CHIA WAS MADE A 'FALL' GUY, but that's another tall story!) and the freshly-minted RM4.6billion Port Klang Free Zone bailout! -- and of course, the XXLARGE BIG C:orruption. Yes, mGf DIN MERICAN has told Desi that Government's wastages, seepages and "daylight robbery by UMNOputra Oligarchs of BOG ticket "Special Projects" budgets -- UP TO 50 PERCENT!

Come back for more as Desi goes up north on business to cope with INFLATION. And it's another myth the BN LEADERS LIKE PM-cum-FINANCE MINSITER and HIS DEPUTY FINANCE MINISTER HAVE BEEN SPINNING THAT IT'S AT A LOW OF ABOUT 2.5 PER CENT ONLY!

Meanwhile, go read NST, page 11, (I C&P its online version, OK!) news report headlined:

PKR woos
voters with
fuel promise





PETALING JAYA:
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has unveiled a five-point manifesto that promises, among others, lower petrol prices.

The manifesto, with the tagline A New Dawn for Malaysia, also carries the party's pledge to:

- Make Malaysia a truly constitutional state for all, guaranteeing basic human rights, rule of law and an independent judiciary.

- Create a vibrant economy for all, eliminating discriminatory policies, corruption and wastage.

- Make the streets and neighbourhoods of Malaysia safer for all, through creating a professional and neutral police force.

- Make Malaysia more affordable for all, by lowering petrol prices, ensuring tolls and tariffs will never be raised unreasonably and by other policies.

- Increase the standard of Malaysian education for all, including higher salaries for educators.

PKR also promised to implement a minimum wage of RM1,500 in the manifesto launched by its de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday. The party also plans to do away with the New Economic Policy.

Meanwhile in Ipoh, Pas and PKR have come up with a combined manifesto along the lines of a welfare state to woo voters.

Bearing the logo of both parties, the manifesto offers voters a two-pronged agenda of an "efficient, friendly and trustworthy administration that gives priority to public welfare".

MEANw'ile2, and I acknowledge I'm "borrowing" the Post, hope the Owner gifts Desi permit to C&P and I'll return compliments some Puerh tea, OK? - Desi on the run

"Mahathir Mengaku Anwar Ibrahim Dizalimi & Tidak Bersalah

February 27th, 2008 | by bongkersz | | Posted in » Anwar, Boleh-ism, Bolehland, MISC, Mahathir, News, Politics
This is something you MUST watch.



1999 - Mahathir Bohong, 2004 - Pak Lah Bohong, 2008 - Khairy Bohong 2013 - ______ ??

A longer version (18 minutes) you can watch it here. (Please.. please watch it and listen carefully to what Tun Dr. Mahathir has said.) So, Anwar was victimised and he was not guilty. Tun Dr. Mahathir admitted it himself. It is obvious now, he wants you to deny BN a 2/3 majority this upcoming election

Updated 2.33am :

I decided to put up the longer version here for all to watch. Cheers! (deleted the video, because it no longer available)

Updated 2.45am :

Huh!! The complete video no longer to be found on google video! WTF??

Updated 2.50am :

I get another video, under different name

IMHO, it is not unrealistic, alas just many people don't use their brain.

1. Cut the consumption. Flood the street with Buses. More public transport = less car = less fuel subsidies. Subsidies to the public transport is 1,000% more efficient than having SOV on the street.

2. Cut off ALL government servant executive parking. Enable bus services for government servants. No just in putrajaya, but all around the country.

3. No free parking for local municipal councils.

4. Limit all high ranking government servant petrol claims. All must use a "fleet card" to control their usage pattern.

5. Revive the double railway track project. Give incentive to company utilise the train than truck/container mover.

6. Build energy plant generate from manure.

All this will not deplete petronas money but increase the efficiency of the country transport system and competitiveness.

Impossible? Huh.

LIM KHENG YAIK, (THE UMNO DOG) AND GERAKAN
TRAITORS TO THE CHINESE

Politicians are all the same, and they are all consistently unreliable , because if he is reliable then he will not survive as a politician, therefore is Kheng Yaik any better than Dato Seri Anwar; I can say for certain that one is no better than the other. What I am saying is that we do not need to know anything about any particular candidate. We really do not need to know whether he is a good man or otherwise; and this perspective runs counter to what everybody is saying about what this has done or have not done. It is absolutely pretentious to claim that we are able to correctly assess the character of Dato Seri or Kheng Yaik and determine who is the better man. I SUPPORT DATO SERI ANWAR and I live in Australia therefore what do I know about Dato Sari. I do not a thing about him, and that is the thing about politics, IT IS ALL ABOUT PERCEPTION. In fact from my perspective, I will vote for Dato Seri Anwar even if I believe that Kheng Yaik and that Dato Seri is a chameleon and Kheng Yaik is correct. As I had earlier said I do not need to know anything about Dato Seri because I deal with the democratic process, I vote him because he says that under his government, RACE POLITICS WILL BE ABOLISHED and I want that so I vote for him and I do not need to know how good or bad he is. PROVE TO US WHEN YOU ARE IN GOVERNMENT OR WE VOTE YOU OUT. We therefore need to start to vote for the opposition to start the democratic process. We need to throw or better destroy UMNO now.

Dear my Chinese & Indian brothers, do not listen to Kheng Yaik because he is an UMNO dog and he will sell his mother or his wife to gain FAVOUR from the PM and UMNO. These are the UMNO dogs who hang out their tongues for CSRAPS THROWN FROM UMNO TABLE to the dining room floor. I spit on these MCA, MIC and Gerakhan dogs.

Kheng Yaik says that it was Dato Seri Anwar who put in place all those provisions that retarded the progress of Chinese education and that it was he & Najib who repealed it; let us examine Kheng Yaik’s statement to assess the credibility of his claim. I will first call Kheng Yaik A LIAR and then I will go on to examine what I mean by that epithet. I call Kheng Yaik a liar because the minister merely implements GOVERNMENT POLICY. In fact all decisions made by the Cabinet are made binding all ministers as one as ministerial cabinet collective decision. What Kheng Yaik is talking about is government policy and such policy are by the very nature taken by the PARTY IN GOVERNMENT and the minister’s function is to implement the details that will make the policy work on the ground; only UMNO as a party can change such policy and it is disingenuous to say that Najib revoked it. Having said that it can only be true that neither Najib nor Dato Seri could by himself revoke what Kheng Yaik claims credit for himself and Najib.

In this respect the powers of the minister controls only the details of implementation; but of course he has powers to grant exception in individual cases but not to change policy except with the agreement of cabinet. The Malaysian model of government mirrors that of the British. I anticipate that readers will want to ask me if ministers are so without powers then how is it that they can make money so corruptly; the answer to that question is in the power of the minister to approve contracts or such like. These functions belong to the Minister’s portfolio and they relate to “implementation. Therefore it is not true what Kheng Yaik says that it was najib who removed the offending laws that disadvantaged the Chinese.

The democratic process is all about checks and balances; therefore how can there be checks and balances if our Chinese & Indian brothers keep voting UMNO. If UMNO knows that we are all their SLAVES then where is there a need for UMNO to do what is just in line with our minority interests ? We have like a bunch of fools fear reprisals and we keep voting UMNO so do we not deserve to be spat on by UMNO as they are doing even as of now? Our duty to our selves is to vote UMNO out because it has always been UMNO that has formed government. Do we not owe it to our children and their children to pressure UMNO to act in our interests or we will put them out of business. WE NEED TO START AT THIS ELECTION TO START THE PROCESS GOING. If Keadilan, PAS DAP do not act in our interest when they are in power then in the next election we can vote them out. We need to start and now is as good a time as any. VOTE KEADILAN, DAP, PAS FOR CHANGE !
