RM45,786 to thank Rosmah!



I saw this advertisement in Utusan Malaysia when I was checking out from the hotel in Taiping the day after Nizar won the Bukit Gantang by-election. Curious about the cost of a full-page colour advertisement in Utusan national page, I asked my PA to call up Utusan’s office to get a quotation. Guess how much the ad costs?

RM45,786!

Yes, the NS state government spent RM45,786 of taxpayers monies just to say “THANK YOU” to our First Lady, Dato’ Seri Rosmah Mansor for visiting Pusat Anak PERMATA Negara Chembong in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan on the 7th April 2009!

I held a press conference this morning and openly whacked the state government and the Menteri Besar for wasting taxpayers’ monies on such an unnecessary, unproductive and totally wasteful expenditure! What benefits the rakyat of Negeri Sembilan will get from such an advertisement? Wasn’t the state government talking about cost-cutting and tightening the belt during the current economic crisis? They asked the rakyat to understand the pain and cruise through this storm together?

Well, it is understood that the position of certain leaders in the state are very shaky and uncertain. Perhaps, they need to strengthen the “cable” with the PM through the throne behind.

Folks, now you decide whether you want to continue to let these people manage your tax monies…

Untuk kerajaan negeri membayar RM45,786 untuk iklan mengucapkan ribuan terima kaseh kepada Rosmah adalah satu pembaziran. Ini adalah duit pembayar cukai dan kerajaan negeri patut membelanja dengan berhemah.

Slogan 1Malaysia, People first, Performance Now tidak boleh dipakai. Kerajaan sepatutnya mengutamakan kebajikan rakyat dan bukannya membantu golongan tertentu seperti Utusan Malaysia dan lain lain.
