Yup! We're Responsible!


When I saw the above picture in the Star (and later the real thing on site) two days ago, I had a great laugh. The Star captioned it "General Elections Coming...", but I thought it was an open admission that they are the parties responsible for the unreasonably high toll rates Malaysians have to pay to pass the toll booths, which in this case is located at the SPRINT Highway. ;)

It'd be a real joke when BN actually decides to put up their election banners around the highways and toll booths - "Satu Lagi Projek Barisan Nasional". ;)

Oh, and in case you are wondering, the posters were put up by Masterskill College of Nursing & Health, apparently to celebrate the nation's 50th birthday. But for those living in the Klang Valley, particularly in the Damansara area, you'd find that this college has a tendency to "curry favour" the nation's leaders with banners with their faces across the town.

How these banners reflect the quality of the college is of course, anybody's guess ;)

Yup! We're Responsible to Suck Your Blood! We're Responsible to build the country with the largest number of tolls in the world (Malaysia boleh mah!). More tolls like those in Makhota Cheras will be built to suck more blood! Thank you for voting BN!! BN (Burden of the Nation)

BN's victory in the coming election will ensure more tolls like those in Makhota Cheras to be built SURROUNDING YOUR HOUSE!! So please continue to vote for BN to help us achieve this goal. Semi Value.

Then again, credit should be given for their racially balanced poster; there are two Malays, two Chinese and one Indian. Somehow it just feels like there is a sense of equity.

The people like Samy and the gang, Ijok by election had shown that to be true.

I thought I heard another new 34- year highway concession is on the way in Johor.

Truth is, people like to be sucked dry.

You're right. Even the website quality sucks. I surf to About Masterskills College then tried to look at the newspaper clips. All links give me "the page cannot be found" error.

Masterskills College's website reminds me of the substandard government websites that never seem to work!

I like this:

Q : How much I pay for hostel (accommodation) in MASTERSKILL ?

A : You Do NOT have to pay anything. It is provided for FREE.

Q: Besides hostel, what else is provided in MASTERSKILL ?

A : We provide Transport for FREE - bus services to ferry students from hostels to college campus and vice versa. MASTERSKILL transport is also available to fetch students to places of worship-to mosques for Friday prayers, church and temple. We have about 23 buses on route within MASTERSKILL campus and hostels.

This is good, other colleges should do this.

Toll makes economic sense in that it enable only users be charged. The higher the usage the more he needs to pay , thats fair. Why should I a tax payer in Kuching subsidise you in Cheras?

Toll is normally a privatised project, so the tax money is not used. So more tax money to fund my study scholarship which is only barely enough now. You dont know this because you have so many tycoons and guilds to support you.

Why waste money by placing the election banners in the opposite flow of traffic? I would rather concentrate on the other cars behind me when I look into the rear mirror.

30 years from now when we celebrate 80th Merdeka day, we will still be grumbling of tolls if we do not start making a change.

"kami Bersamamu ke arah malaysia gemilang"? No thank you, not with you poster boys.

80 years from now we hope you celebrate with us like any foreign tourist. Dont take this negatively because we mean well, you must be successful in your adopted country to be able to visit this peaceful homogeneous country
