Budget 2011

Interesting to note that the Government has the 'rakyat' in mind each time the budget is announced. No bonus to government servant because it will cost RM3.1 billion but still they can allocated a fund of RM111 million to permata programme. As we all know the permata programme is lead by Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, our 'beloved' first lady. And then the waived of tax for imported brands. In one hand government wants us to 'ikat perut' and in the other hand they are implying that we should spend on this branded goods because it is cheaper now? And the finale.. warisan merdeka, a 100 storey building to built near the stadium negara... the tallest in the country. I have no qualms on this as they are saying that this would be privately financed by PNB. Look what happens to KLCC. When the KLCC project was proposed during the 1990s, many people have opposed to it and saying it was a waste. But look at it now, standing proud and have bring tremendous positive impact to the country. But, I have a feeling that the opposition will used this warisan merdeka issue very strongly as one of their strong points in the election.
