I disagreed with the point of spending 25% of our Nation O&G revenue on social security. In fact, disagree totally in spending the O&G revenue.<BR/><BR/>Goverment should only spend the money that is being tax from O&G. Petronas should be made accountable to re-invest its revenue in exploration & acquiring Global assets.<BR/><BR/>You as an ex-CEO of a company, did you spend your company revenue away without any benefit to the company long term growth?<BR/><BR/>Will PAS & PKR buy into the DAP budget proposal? Hate to see DAP, PKR & PAS become Gov & spend next 4-5 years arguing.<BR/><BR/>It is easier to complaint but difficult when govern.<BR/><BR/>All the bestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-39352800496161987432008-03-25T13:05:00.000+08:002008-03-25T13:05:00.000+08:00Tony,Apart from national issues, the most urgent/i...Tony,<BR/>Apart from national issues, the most urgent/important one which affects the people directly is the performance of local councils.

I would assume landlord are worried about rennovation cost but if the city council can plan and group contractors and shops owner in the objective of mutual benefits than I think many shops owner will be willing to invest. This isn't easy job but is necessary if we still consider Penang identity important. It would be sad if nothing come up in this prespective in the next 4 years.<BR/><BR/>George the TownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-88519925355598537722008-03-20T22:54:00.000+08:002008-03-20T22:54:00.000+08:00Dear YB Tony,I believe you realise the reason of B...Dear YB Tony,<BR/><BR/>I believe you realise the reason of BN's fall - failure to deliver their promises. BN has the power, but they decided not to use it for the public. <BR/><BR/>Another thing is, the world is closely intertwined, and Malaysia's economy cannot run away from the symbiotic relation. Being a PPE holder, i am sure you are aware of it, so please make good use of your expertise to "truly help make our country a better place for all communities, and a country we can all be proud of" and not just for the sake of getting support from the people. <BR/><BR/>Therefore, i would prefer BR (DAP/PKR/PAS) not to over-promised things just to impress the citizens, when in fact you do not have the power and authority to do anything, at least not at the moment. <BR/><BR/>The most important thing to do is to familiarize with the administrative works as the pact has no experiences in governing a state. At the same time, beware of BN's dirty tricks and sabotage, which i believe they are going to be around until the next GE. <BR/><BR/>Keep things simple, straight and transparent, and the people of Malaysia will give you the power to form a federal government in GE13th.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>YuanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-29535562338541343792008-03-20T10:48:00.000+08:002008-03-20T10:48:00.000+08:00Dear YB Tony,I also one of the crowd that chantin...Dear YB Tony,<BR/><BR/>I also one of the crowd that chanting ur name during the ceramah at SS2...I would like to apply for the DAP life membership under your team...Can u pls advise me on the membership application?<BR/><BR/>Hope to hear from you soon...<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Ken<BR/>email: kenckc1@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-2623317930032759072008-03-20T09:01:00.000+08:002008-03-20T09:01:00.000+08:00Please note while we may not have to pay the bill ...Please note while we may not have to pay the bill for the first 20 cubic m of water supply, we still have to pay Indahwater RM8.00 per month.

No surprise that most of these guys who join police force are school drop-outs & from very poor families. Yet, we can have a RM27Million police CID chief...which by the way, what happened to this case? Another X-File? In 30 years time, Malaysia can start making it's own X-File series. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, coming back to police force...their pay is so low how can we expect such dedication & committment from the lower rank police force. Surely, we wouldn't see an OCPD or ASP taking the "beat". <BR/><BR/>From what I hear, the London Bobbies are paid very well (UK standard mah) & they work like brother-hood style. The main thing is that they are very well covered by insurance - of course, courtesy by HR the Queen & Londoners. They are after all dedicating their life in the line for the safety of the public. The insurance payout is well enough to look after the family should anything happen...& otherwise, will go into the pension fund. Some of these guys are degree holders! They still got to study, sit for exams (for promotion = more pay), etc. <BR/><BR/>I think in our case, imagine the pay is RM 700-/mth. If anything happens, the famil get RM 350-/mth. Even Indonesian maids get more pay than that. If I am correct, then there's something truly wrong with our system. <BR/><BR/>If the system is corrected, there would be more police personnel on the road...& maybe less pirated dvd peddlers trying to cari-makan on the street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-41512251644909342822008-03-19T22:29:00.000+08:002008-03-19T22:29:00.000+08:00On police force:1)Have police beat on foot.2)Have ...On police force:<BR/><BR/>1)Have police beat on foot.<BR/>2)Have public assessment on them.<BR/>3)Reward based on public ranking.<BR/>4)Have their faces put on billboard so they can be recognized.<BR/>5)This helps to enhance motivation.<BR/><BR/>MundellMcKinnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-61850363649774583212008-03-19T20:25:00.000+08:002008-03-19T20:25:00.000+08:00Dear Tony,Crude Oil Forward Contract already hit U...Dear Tony,<BR/><BR/>Crude Oil Forward Contract already hit USD200 per barrel.

This was the main cause of the fall of BN, apart from not evolving it's political philosophy & maintaining race-base policies. Talk less to the MSM. Reach out in other ways, esp. on important issues. The MSM will always misconstrue issues that don't favour the ruling gov of the day. Like it or not. All the BR-MPs are famous/popular enough already: otherwise, how else they got voted? Another one of the problems of the BN is that they think they are superstars. <BR/><BR/>May or may not be related, I believe Selangor state is probably top 3 income tax-contributors (private & corporate) along with Penang & Perak to the Fed-Gov. Can't we channel these taxes to the respective states instead? The states then decide how much to give the beggars in Fed-Gov. That's only fair. Or is it run this way already? Pardon my ignorance. <BR/><BR/>If not wrong, in the US, each state decide the tax level. So, if all BR-states decide to lower corporate tax (for example only ah) - this will be one way to lure more FDI into these states. After all we have to compete with BN-states now. I am no economic guru but don't see how such healthy competition can cause dire consequences. <BR/><BR/>EPF can't be help. That can be Fed-Gov control since it will involve major investments & returns. I would also hope that the EPF look to contributors as their investors / shareholders. This attitude got to change. The EPF should also have a watchdog from the BR. Somewhat like a internal shadow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-12617864253321315792008-03-19T14:31:00.000+08:002008-03-19T14:31:00.000+08:00Wow, this sounds great!I love to see them material...Wow, this sounds great!<BR/><BR/>I love to see them materialise in the near 5 years.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-69431407457551070582008-03-19T13:59:00.000+08:002008-03-19T13:59:00.000+08:00What about state government budget?
