Mega Tower Project

I came across this article where our "intelligent" Deputy Prime Minister told PNB to ignore the critics by the public and continue with the mega tower project with the reason that those who oppose to it are jealous. What the heck?! My dear DPM, what's the link between building a mega tower project and jealousy? I wonder if your brain is functioning well.

He further stated that this project will benefit the country. I can't see there is any benefit that we can gain from this tower except gaining a place in Guinness World of Record. Excuse me, DPM! In what way can this tower benefit us?! Are we going to use it? It is a basic necessity for the rakyat? NO!

So you keep saying it's not funded by the government but investors. Who are these investors? Where do they come from? Investors make up the general public! Or maybe the politicians? But in the end, all the money still comes from public. Where does politicians get their emoluments? Tax payers lah! Who else?

Apa Pun Boleh!

I just read a post from here. Our government thinks that "Malaysia Boleh!" and then "Apa Pun Boleh!"

We are capable of hiring 1.2 million civil servants with total population of 25 million while Japan is only hiring 380000 civil servants with total population of 120 million. Is Malaysia trying to compete to get into Guinness World of Record to have the most numbers of civil servants??

I don't know if this is something good or bad. More people being hired by the government can mean less unemployment. But who are paying for their salaries?? The taxpayers!!

Even if the government wants to help out in reducing unemployment, I think this is not the right way. I think as Malaysians, all of you would have come across the services given by the civil servants. Slow, procrastinate, unfriendly, inefficient, ineffective, bla, bla, bla... Even if they increase the number of civil servants to serve us, the public (or perhaps serve the leaders only), it won't increase their efficiency in any way. It's just a waste! Waste of resources!

Whether a country can prosper or not, it depends on one thing. ATTITUDE! Yes, it's the human's attitude we are talking about. If you are good, you won't be unemployed. If you are willing to work hard, you won't be unemployed. If you have the will, you will surely have the way to get yourself employed. So why does the government need so many civil servants while mostly are "sleeping workers"?

By the way, here is the list of websites and blogs which I found to be interesting recently. As an adult, I think we should know what we ought to know.
