The Other Half of 2018



The remaining half of 2018 is highly anticipated. The First 100 Days pledged by the new Pakatan government would be one of them. Thus, we will see several, if not many changes ahead. First and most importantly, the GST will not apply any longer effective June 1st. This, however, will be replaced by the previous SST (Sales & Service Tax). That’s one good news.

Secondly, many anticipated the abolished of tolls collections especially in West Malaysia. Tolls collections have been a pain in the pockets to Malaysians living in West Malaysia. This may be a great relieve to us but it will cost the government a massive amount.

I see changes may come in the education sector. I really hope the new highly educated Minister of Education foresee these changes are needed to our already eroded education system. I would suggest a scrap on some of the exams, which took tolls on young students. Schools should be made a learning playground, where knowledge are shared. Allocations of teachers to Sarawak and Sabah should prioritized the locals. 


We hope to see real developments in the rural areas of Sabah and Sarawak. Basic necessities should not be shoved under the carpet. Rural roads, water and electricity supply should be emphasized. Rural economics must be reviewed as well. The new federal government should encourage more on small plantation ownership as it will flourish the livelihoods and many rural folks. Housing for the less income families must also be emphasized. Dilapidated school conditions should be repaired, as well as rural clinics.

I see positive real economic outcome in the country. The new government pledge to scrap many mega projects that are bound unnecessary to proceed. Re-tendering of previously awarded projects which were overpriced will save the country a wholesome. We hope to see the economic culture of Penang and Selangor to be practiced in the country. These two states can be a good example and a basis for the new government. 

We hope the new government will restore the country’s pride and reputation, both domestically and internationally. Racial and religious tensions must be a number one priority. No land is safe if there is no peace and harmony among a multiracial and multireligious country like ours. The federal government must uphold the law of the country and tighten its legal and policing system without favoritism and prejudice. The new Pakatan government must portray a government that is For the People, By the People and Of the People.

POST GE14 - Part 2

The New Malaysia Yes! The New Malaysia it is. New voters mindset and New Government. New PM7 and New set of Cabinet. But how new is the New Malaysia?  Will the PH government made a good governance? Of course it will. PH will be emphasizing on new good governance so that Malaysians will not worry about massive corruptions taking place under our naked eyes. Like the previous BN gomen, we were robbed in a bright day light. Literally robbed. Funds were missing here and there. It was like a gold rush whereby they, I mean those in power, rushed to pocket all they can. It was like a All You Can Eat style buffet. Eat even if you're full! Greed was never enough. Hundreds of millions if not billions went missing. Done mentioning that. Let's move on. Yes! The New Malaysians expect so much more from the New Malaysia. Simple reason kan! That was why we voted them out and voted you in so that you can do a much better job than the previous gomen. Sounds clear and precise...

Post GE14

Part 1 Yes! We are not talking about Pakatan Harapan winning the GE14 anymore! Those were the days. It's history. We all have to move forward and live with whatever has been chosen, be it good or bad, for you... 30 Days Mark It has been just a month that the new Pakatan government has taken over Putrajaya and I tell you what my friends, messages are rolling like no other businesses. Phone flooded with photos and video clips of all sorts, but majority were pro-government. I bet your mind is asking which government. Pakatan Harapan lah... People seek to look forward for the 100 Days Promises as pledged by the Pakatan Harapan during the GE14. And let me tell you what... with the messes left behind by the previous government, there's no way the new government can fulfill their pledges.  Firstly, the house needs to be clean. Massive general cleaning in progress. From 1MDB to the Education Ministry and to just anything under their supervision were left like war zones. I am t...
