  After implementing, than increasing the GST, still not enuff tax generated, need to increase the utilities bill? Isn't the GST like the tax we are paying to foot stuff like the rising cost of utilities? so why increase both, when increasing one should be enough?

  It is the same analogy as Minister's pay need to be increase otherwise we cannot get talent and non corruptable Ministers and Ministers benefits such as housing allowances, travel, car, driver allowances and holidday allowances etc etc also need to increase to balance price hike and high fuel cost .

   

  Next the blunder in Temaskerk investment losses need to recover back, and the escape of Mat selamakalso incurred high cost to maintain a viglant group of cuokoo police force to look at all check points.

   

  And the lastest, F1 lightning cost

  ever wondered why we pay them so much money yet they cannot THINK of a way to keep prices down since it is a problem? so they sit up there shake leg only?

  Privatised company ?

  These are all Private Limited Companies that are registered with Paid-Up Capital from the Government Linked Companies.

  They are all Private Limited in name only - with the Board of Directors all government appointees, or government annointed personnalities.

  Just ask where the seed money come from for the Paid-up Capital, to know if these are truly Private Companies.

  With a situation like this - and having tame Members of Parliament from the Alternative Parties, and Backbenchers controlled by the Parliamentary Whip from the Ruling Party - we need wild card maverick politicians like CSJ even more, now that JBJ has moved on to prepare the ground for his next encounter with LKY.
