However, such interjection of funds must translate into positive growth and influx of more FDI into Malaysia economy. I am not an economic expert. But I believe that government expenditure must boost other activities that would bring greater heights to the country.<BR/> Singapore is one heck of a good exampleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-60577468994204267282008-05-13T23:12:00.000+08:002008-05-13T23:12:00.000+08:00Dear YB Tony,I hope you can read the following mes...Dear YB Tony,<BR/>I hope you can read the following message and bring this issue up to parliment. Thanks from the bottom of my heart!<BR/><BR/>----------------------------------<BR/>It's time to scrap the National Service.<BR/><BR/>I'm not the only parent who will not entrust my children to this worthless cause. It has proven to be unsafe since it was initiated. How many have died in the camps already? How many more have fallen ill?<BR/><BR/>Why must we sacrifice our children ... for what? It was a hare-brained idea to begin with. And yet despite the public resistance, the Government has insisted on carrying on with it.<BR/><BR/>Some who have gone through NS may have got something out of it, but many more detest it. But the upshot of it all is this -- if there are going to be cases of people dying while serving NS, it simply does not justify having it. If the Government cannot guarantee the safety of each and everyone of those serving NS, it should feel shame and stop this unsafe scheme.<BR/><BR/>I call on our elected representatives to speak up and earnestly press for the abolition of National Service. <BR/><BR/>I urge all parents to resist -- by refusing to send their children when they are called up for the next round of NS. Let this be a form of conscientious objection.<BR/><BR/>We must be together in this -- so that if the Government wants to persecute us for it, they will find it harder to persecute a mass of people than if it were only a handful.<BR/><BR/>I call on civil society groups to pledge protection for parents who resist should they be hauled up for persecution. Such protection could be in the form of free legal representation.<BR/><BR/>Let us show solidarity in standing up against what we don't have faith and trust in.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Kee Thuan ChyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-6587865540722841782008-05-13T20:15:00.000+08:002008-05-13T20:15:00.000+08:00The answer should be emphasize more on how to solv...The answer should be emphasize more on how to solve the problem of our country's economy from over dependent on government's intervention. As we're taught that the economy should work by itself without government intervention. Though it is not 100% true, but minimum intervention from the government during certain situations or subjects are mostly welcome. <BR/><BR/>For this question, the deputy finance minister should explain that what the government should do to reduce their intervention in the economy in the short run and long run, such as privatization of government linked company or reducing the monopoly of GLC to encourage a healthy competition. <BR/><BR/>As for GNP, I think he make a serious mistake in replying the question. This has nothing to do with GNP as we are talking about the economy within our own country, not in other foreign countries. <BR/><BR/>Developing nation does not mean that government should involved at the business directly, but to provide infrastructure within the country and set fair policy to attract the investor and help to generate local businesses at the same time. The exemption for government to involve in some business is that such business require a huge amount of capital in order to run such as national airline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-47981434113809575012008-05-13T15:01:00.000+08:002008-05-13T15:01:00.000+08:00Hei YB, we expect you (our elite hero) to master t...Hei YB, we expect you (our elite hero) to master the parlimen in all aspects (education, taxpayer money, expenditure, economics etc) in area you should be good.
