so yes for starters during the first few weeks, the public transportation will be hell packed. LRT and KTM especially. genting klang road might get less congested too. apa nak buat, dah nasib kita macam ni, so macam ni lah jadinya. Thanks YB Wee for the breaking news. Take care of yourself and family. God Bless.
MP Wee here is the article i smsed you abt…the two FT jokers and !% others on happy jaunt to Canada and Germany this week…”to learn how improve tranport, bla2 environment, bla2 and make KL world class, bla bla”…ya right…longkang pun tak noleh clear, food outlets pun filthy, city filthy…nak world class??? why werent the pakatan MPs also taken…after all there are 10 for KL and we have a stake thru them, not just the FT minister!!!Dah brapa puluh study lah..it just takes basic common sense and we have so many experts in Malaysia too that have been underutilised!!!I wonder if all flew business class or paid full fare as is the practise for gomen officials…and during these hard times too…they just never repent and learn lah..get them the hell out of KL management please!!!!Read here:”Study trips to Germany and Canada under fireBY BAVANI MA STUDY trip to a city in Europe and Canada organised by the Federal Territory Ministry, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and Putrajaya Corporation has not gone down well with Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai.The one-week trip from May 30 until June 7 is to study better ways of managing a city.It involves a delegation of 15 high-ranking officers, including FT Minister Datuk Seri Zulhasnan Rafique and KL mayor Datuk Abdul Hakim Borhan.Tan said the trip was unnecessary and a waste of money.“Why must they go to Europe to study how to manage cities?” queried Tan. “Why can’t they go to Singapore, Hong Kong or Taipei to learn?Meanwhile, when contacted the minister’s principal private secretary Shazril Fariza said the study tour to the two cities, Vancouver in Canada and Berlin in Germany was approved by the cabinet.“The ministry picked these two cities because both have an excellent local governance system and a perfect place to learn.“The ministry feels you cannot run a city the old way and in order to become a world-class city one must incorporate new ideas and ways and that’s what this study tour is all about,” said Shazril.He added the delegation would also study ways to manage trafficcongestion and address environmental issues more efficiently.”
DSAI we cant wait any longer!!
naik…naik…naik…BN always like this.I’ll offer a free trip of hell to BNBN: If we rise up basic wages, we are actually towards bankruptcy.
YB, kepada penyokong-penyokong kuat BN tu, harap happy dgn berita ini. Harap DSAI/PR take over this sept. Tolong-tolong kasi cepat sikit tendang ini BN/UMNO keluar!
Brother WeeAny trips to Europe or USA only translate to one thing. Shopping. I bet half of the time would be spent on sightseeings and shopping. Probably you could suggest to these nincompoops, if they desperately need to learn some obvious things overseas why not try Curitiba, Brazil, surprisingly recognised as one of the best planned cities in the world. Heck, even Europeans and Americans are sending delegates to learn from them.
Sir, May I ask if you can table on your next round of Parliamentary question, asking the whereabout of the billions of savings goes from the last round of fuel price increase, preferably with the account details of those money. If removing subsidies are done in a transparent and accoutable way (according to Najib last time, it will go to improve our public transport system), I’m sure many of us normal citizens would not mind that much.Thank you.Trying-To-Be-Reasonable-But-Pissed-Msian
hmm.. Parlimen (rakyat) cant control PM from rising the petrol price..
I only wish that those who voted for BN on March 8 would kick themselves now. This is the price you pay for voting Barang Naik!On the other hand, many ‘thanks’ to the PM for garnering public anger to boot out BN much earlier.
what we are angry ib the manner this petrol increase done!!you cannot have some chap saying the increase will be done on august.and drop the bombshell!!!furthermore the DPM DENY any price increase!!!what is the gov doing???playing POKER??????
Sdr & Sdri You will recall that the PM had assured Malaysians that a few days ago there will be no price increase for petrol. A few days later petrol price increased not by 1n or 2 Sen but 78 Sen. The PM did the same thing when he was asked whether Parliament will be dissolved and his reply was no way. The next day Parliament was dissolved. That is the the trait of a BN leader. I do not understand why the Government had to make such an announcement without notice. It would appear that the government was running out of fund! Well done! BARANG NAIK PARTY!
YB, May be all of us have to discuss means and ways to overcome our daily problems in your blog. While waiting for September to come,the people has to live in difficulty. The price of rice has risen tremondously from RM135 to RM180(50Kg), I wonder how the poors are going to survive. Now, with the increase of the petrol of 41%, I just cannot immagine how many of us are going to struggle in order to run our family. I think I have to take a partime job just to cover the increase cost and expenses in our daily lives. Living will be difficult for us. We may live in proverty if we do not change our management?The old Malaysian
petrol naik, pasti barang lain naik, apa akan terjadi dengan orang yang berpendapatan rendah…dahlah susu, beras dan semua naik..lepas nie nak makan apa…makan pasir ke????dorang kat atas senang lenang kami kat sini berendam air mata melihat anak kelaparan…..cepatlah DSAI…tolonglah kami….
barang naik….petrol naik…susu naik…anak-anak pasti menangis….
The drastic oil price increase at 40% could have been alleviated if the federal government has a more holistic approach to the change. They have shocked the system without adequate compensatory steps in place.I am not talking about those rebates on road tax etc. I am talking about the entire distribution and supply chain in Malaysia from government approvals to the number of middleman, consultants, agents etc that is never transparent to the rakyat.Case in point is that how come when Najib “change your life style while PR says my wife shop in style” buys some stuff for defense of Malaysia, a huge chunk of funds goes to selected few as commission. Closer to heart of all, how come the fish you can buy in Kuala Lumpur seems starting to rot as compared to those you can buy in Kelang? What happened between that 50km? Nobody knows but I strongly believe if the entire distribution chain is out in the open, every business consultant worth his salt would be able to identify redundant points and leeches.Malaysia needs to be more competitive now. The national and individual income levels have to go up. Sure, a set lunch in Hong Kong looks astronomical at HKD50 (a soup, a slab of beefsteak and another price of pork chop plus trimmings rounded off by a huge cup of thick milk tea) but their people earn HKD20,000 above a month. We can bitch about rising prices but if we can earn more, then it would not be a problem. The government has to reduce the cost of business in Malaysia. Not only in the form of ax rebates but get ride of corruption, inefficiency and racist capital requirements. All these are pissing off foreign investors and our ringgit is not competitive anymore. Malaysian employers have to pay more, employ more locals and rely less on foreigners so that our income levels is reflective of Malaysian’s desired standard of living. Having excessive foreigners distort our wages level and cause a lot of leakages out of our country. By paying Malaysian employees more, their spending power would increase and it would go back to goods and services that we are marketing.There will be a crime wave in Malaysia starting from today. Cost of living for the criminals will force them to work harder but looking at our PDRM and health care services, I expect more tragedy after a tragedy. Mark my words on this. China Press will have more heart breaking cases to report.RegardsLee Wee Tak
Terima kasih kepada kabinet tukar gaya hidup. Kami semua merasa sangat terharu kerana harha minyak masih sangat rendah jika dibandingkan dengan Kerjaaan lain. Apa lagi bukti yang semua hendak untuk bersetuju bahawa ininlah kerajaan yang sangat perihatin kepada kesusahan rakyat.Ekonomi baik. FDI meningkat. Kadar inflasi sentiasa terakawal. Bagus sungguh kerajaan tukar gaya hidup ni.
I am fed up with this price up again…and again!! It will only affect small people like the rakyat tremendously! Everything will prone to increase! I will be not surprise if i need to pay RM10 for a wan tan mee later at hawker stall…. Can’t the PKR do something…?!! I remember i voted to you gentlemans for a CHANGE and a STOP to all these money consuming activities..! Can’t the PKR deny or stop BN for the increase of price at Parlimen???
Those who supported BN are now rewarded with increase in fuel prices. Only 3 months after the general elections, we are witnesses to the lie of BN. So we must all get together and vote for a new Malaysia. Vote Pakatan Rakyat.
YB,memandangkan harga semua naik, apakah langkah yang akan diambil oleh kerajaan untuk mengurangkan kesengsaraan rakyat? misalnya kenaikan gaji?KATAKAN kerajaan bersetuju untuk menaikkan gaji semua kakitangan kerajaan, bagaimana pula dengan pekerja sektor swasta? Apakah langkah yang akan diambil untuk memastikan gaji pekerja di sektor swasta juga terjamin?untuk maklumat YB, saya difahamkan bahawa terdapat banyak pekerja di kl masih lagi menerima gaji/subsidi yang kurang daripada seribu sebulan terutamanya mereka yang baru sahaja keluar dari kolej dan universiti dan sedang menjalani latihan praktikal di kilang atau di firma.
Tuan,Petrol price high jacking increase is the one bigger issues cause consumables and transportation lead to the suffer for people in Malaysia.Did PM consideration people situation? ask him when was the election went through, he told us erection coming soon. And now really everything also Naik…naik…naik…(really Barang Naik)….how big second supprise from BN to people at malaysiaDennis Tay
weecannot agree with you more on the credibility of this governemt or more precisely utter absence of any credibility. i don even believe an iota of what they say henceforth.today’s promise tomorrow is broken. thats their track record.
we are all so tensed with the petrol price hike. I got a short post that will put a smile on your face. this morning, my friend who is a florist said she received 15 flower-orders from 15 husbands to send flowers to their wife. it seems they all could not afford to drop their wife at office building or somewhere half-way, coz the petrol hike. so they sending wife flowers to apologize for all this change. ha ha ha… remember husbands, flowers will melt your lady down. so don’t fight-fight lah over this harga naik thing.

DBKL just took action against the hawkers at Taman Bunga Raya this morning. This is a video of it today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwmcdkHL-gMAs for the fuel hike, I fully support it. It is unsustainable and the money for it is better spent on padi growing and public transport development using trams, buses & rail. Sadly for this round, they are just using the savings on food.
Nobita,”Can’t the PKR deny or stop BN for the increase of price at Parlimen???”Let’s have realistic expectation. Even the Speaker disallow prefectly valid motions raised by opposition, like the Cheras Makota disgrace.BN MPs who vote w/o conscience would out number PR MPsRegardsLee Wee TakIf you want to blame, blame the voters in Pahang, Johor, Sabah, Sarawak, Perlis and Terengganu. Blame the gerrymandering, blame the phantom voters.Unless PR has a simple majority, BN still call the shots
BN has just sealed their doom!

my disappointment with this bodohwi is right now beyond my words.Words and ink alone would be really insufficient to describe his lying capability.I thought we should be using this RON95 petrol?I thought he said we would not be having an increase of the petrol for at least A YEAR?2 months. 2 months after general election, all hell broke lose.
Thursday, June 05, 2008Govt admits discriminationsThe government admitted that they did in fact discriminate against the non-Bumiputeras.Deputy Entrepreneurial Development and Cooperative Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah said the amount of loans by SME Bank approved for non-Bumiputera enterprises amounted to RM479.2 milion which accounted for only 5% of the total of RM9 billion granted by the central bank loans to SMEs up to April 2008.”We are looking at ways to get the banks to submit a written report to the minister on the number of loans that were not approved and explain why they were rejected,” Datuk Saifuddin said.Source: NST: Dewan Negara: RM479m in loans for non-Bumi SMEsThe government also admitted that they had discriminated against the non-Bumiputera in the education system.As of 2007 and out of 382,997 students admitted to public universities, there are 79.7 percent bumiputera students, 12 percent Chinese, 3.2 percent Indians and 1.4 percent of other races and international students.The figures were stated in a written reply from Higher Education Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin to Loke Siew Fook (DAP-Rasah).Source: 80 percent bumiputera students in local varsitiesWill the government also reveal and admit the discriminations in the employment of civil servants, the granting of scholarships, the promotion of civil servants and how many director-generals were Bumis, Khazanah’s employees composition and management composition, Petronas, Banks, etc.Let the whole nation knows the truth, nothing but the truth.Mahathir admitted in his lasted article at chedet.com that he had instituted these discrimination to serve his doctrines of his own dilemmas and thus created a society composites of classes of citizens and divide the nation based on races and identified each by religion and creed.Former Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Tajol Rosli Ghazali said yesterday the Federal Government would be channeling RM1.6bil to the JKKKP for development. He warned Perak MB Nizar not to play with fire when awarding government contracts to the contractors.“Don’t play with fire. If the state government is good to us, we will be good to them too. “But if Barisan Nasional contractors are discriminated against by the state government, we will not hesitate to discriminate against their contractors too,” said Tajol Rosli, who is Perak Barisan liaison committee chairman.Source: TheStar: Be fair in awarding deals, Tajol tells Perak governmentWhat he probably means is that the govt contracts must be given to Umno contractors; otherwise he is prepared to discriminate against all the others.This is creed-based politics and is inherent and calcified within the corrupt and kleptocratic system of the Umno-centric Barisan Nasional.Quoted from: Cakap Serupa Bikin Blog
http://thexstories.blogspot.com/2008/06/money-money-money.htmlYB Wee, you can feel free to delete the above if it is un necessary on your comments page. Please forgive me, i only copy/paste.From : Yellow Rose of Texas
Me Wee, trust me. Even mom, who’s an umno member, actually asked me whether the opposition can do anything about it. Methinks she feels guilty. She had retired, and can only see how the valur of her epf fund will dwindle.
Compare apple with apple!!!http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/6/5/nation/20080605143735&sec=nationReconsider decision, urges Wan Azizah – The StarShe also said as an oil exporting country, the price of petrol must be compared to other countries exporting oil such as United Arab Emirates (UAE) where the price is RM1.19 per litre, Egypt (RM1.03), Kuwait (67sen), Saudi Arabia (38sen), Nigeria (32sen) and Venezuela (16sen).She said it is “ridiculous” to compare the price of petrol with Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.~Saya sokong 100% banding apple dengan apple~
MP Wee, just a separate issue for a moment here…the Riana Green condo construction work beside carrefour wangsamaju…there is thunderous noise heard up to bukit Wangsamas every 2 or 3 minutes, I guess from debris being thrown down from top floors..i don’t know but the noise goes on and on from morning until at least 10 or 11 pm…evry 2 minutes or so…sounds like a huge waterfall from my place…real irritant. I don’t know who I should call…Thank,tehsin
me … only better:You can called up Jabatan Perancang’s famous Pengurus En Mahadi. He has been featured very prominently in my blog concerning the demolition of hawker stalls in Taman Desa Setapak. I will be forwarding your comments as an email to Mahadi’s email and I am certain that he will not open his email for at least 10 days so no action against developer.Jabatna Perancang is very developers friendly but hostile towards the poor hawkers. En Mahadi’s excuse for demolishing the hawker stalls in Taman Desa Setapak because he didn’t read his sms in his handphone for 5 days! – so he didn’t know of his superior’s instructions not to withhold actions for 14 days. That is the attitude of that little napoleon!If the problems still persist please let me know. Please sent email to me: weeck@streamyx.com
The most recent petrol price hike of 41% is a clear evidence of an uncaring government. I have had enough of this company. Have you?I shall be in KLCC on 12th July to express my disgust overt this price hike and against this uncaring government, who says one thing one day and do anything the next day!Please tell all your relatives and friends to join the right thinking Malaysians to stand up against this uncaring BN Government.
The Barang Naik Party is cheating the people all the times. One day no price increase the next day price hike by 41%. This is Bodohwi government for us.The Bodohwi government always telling lies all the time to save his skin. The NST, Star and others are helping him all the way by not ewposing Bodohwi’s lies after lies.
What time???? for the protest…i mean…
YB,I have had more than enough!Only the incomprehensible race-phobia ill-informed voters that is keeping Malaysia in the dark ages.People in 5 states are ready to leap forward but others in the remaining states are dragging the whole country down.RegardsLee Wee Tak
I’ve had enough of these price increases, it’s driving wage earners like me towards insanity. And I’m certain many Malaysians’ pittance living standard will take a step backwards too. I will be at KLCC on July 12 to register my protest and disgust towards the BN Govt., come rain or shine, chemical sprays or tear gas!!
MP WEE, at that July 12th gathering, we must also demand for transparency of Petronas accounts and how the monies/profits have been spent throughout the decades and also better transportation system once and for all!!! Tha Najib joker ada hati nak naikkan tambang lagi!Also, MP Wee, i was shocked to hear Zaid going personally to the ex judges sacked by a tribunal to give them ex gratia payment…and he refuse to divulge the amounts. Isn’t it cowboy justice…shouldnt a tribunal be in charge of this? How can they simply decide to overturn and then decide on their own quantum of damages, from our money again…what a farce! I am not in the legal profession but i can see it is not right!
due to our government not E&E (Effective & Efficient)= alot of wastage that’s why rakyat suffering now with the petrol price hike…..kalaulah kerajaan menyediakan pengangkutan awam yang cekap dulu lagi…maka orang awam tak akan bergantung banyak kepada kereta persendirian….maka tiadalah pembaziran ke atas minyak petrol dan pengunaan subsidi juga akan terkawal…….highway highway pun tak sesak (kurang pembaziran minyak petrol juga kalau perjalanan lancar)~anok kelate~
the domino effect (cost push effect) will come soon after the hike on the petrol!!!BN=Barang Naik sure want to see rakyat suffering from the tsunami on the consumer daily goods… :(hope this 16 sept WIND OF CHANGE GIVE HOPE TO RAKYAT!!! trace back and sell their (those corrupted government officer) oversea properties and asset and bring back to MALAYSIA FOR ALL THE RAKYAT!~anok kelate~
When sleeping beauty sleeps at parliament/function.. the price went up slowly till RM1.92When he woke up, then he raised till RM2.70 coz he realized, he lost a lot of confident from people after the election and need people to support him financially so he can grow his power again..When all his konco konco woke up too by August, he will raised till RM4.00 per litre again so that the money can contribute to his konco and masuk poket..Damm u sleeping beauty.. u go sleep forever in ur coffin la.. dun wake up better…
I was driving by KLCC this afternoon and noticed a few FRU trucks and a water cannon stationed by the road. I’m sure they’re there to intimidate any would-be demos/protest by the rakyat.On the other hand, I didn’t hear of any planned demo there, besides the July 12 one; any readers out there would like to enlighten us.
Choo Keong,What time is the 12th July meeting? Can make it in June instead of July?
Sdr/SdriThank you so much for all of your comments. I do value all of them. I do appreciate the standard of our discussions, which have been very educational for me and others. Lets not allow the BN cybertroopers to distract us and destroy our goals for nation building.At this stage, I do not know the timing of the protest on 12th July. As soon as I got the information, I shall post them here. One of the measures that the PM has announced yesterday to ease the burden of Malaysian, was Government’s cost-cutting, which would include reducing overseas travel and the government officials involved. What a statement by the PM. The PM is the the only government official traveled overseas the most since he took over the premiership from October 2003. Do you agree that this is the statement of the year! The PM should also reconcile his above statement with the so-called “Working Visit” early June 2008 to Vancouver and Berlin by a group of officers from DBKL and Ministry of Federal Territory, and others, which was led by Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur and Zulhasnan, the Minister of Federal Territory. It is more than a 10 days long trip. If the PM really believe in what he was talking then the 10 days overseas visit should be restricted to a few officers from DBKL only as they are the officers responsible for administering KL. This Vancouver/Berlin trip was more of a holidays trip rather than working. This “holidays trip” is most scandalous to say the least. From the above facts, it is crystal clear that the PM is a master of political rhetoric. The government should not increase the petrol price because the petrol subsidy is one of the few subsidy that directly reach the ordinary rakyat, whereas other sO-called subsidies never reached the rakyat but the BN politicians, whom the BN government always classify as “RAKYAT”. A 41% price hike is an extra heavy burden to the rakyat, who have already been suffering from the non-performance of the BN government, which is led by incompetent PM and Ministers, who sway one thing one day and do another thing the following day. Please take note that all the PM’s public statement is only good for less than 24 hours. Examples: On 121-02-08 the PM said “Parliament will not be dissolved.” Parliament was dissolved on 13-02-08. On 04-06-08 the PM said ” No petrol price increase until August.” At 5 pm on 05-06-08 the PM announced 41% price hike for petrol. I just do not understand why was there a necessity for a PM to lie for less than 24 hours.Please remember BN stands for “BARANG NAIK”. If you want change for the better, VOTE for PAKATAN RAKYAT FOR A NEW DAWN FOR MALAYSIA. So please remember to turn up in full force on 12th July to express our disapproval of the policies of Barang Nail Party. Have a pleasant weekend to all.
May I remind everyone the Parliament is still simple majority consisting of BN. The Cabinet who met about the petrol price increase also consisted of BN ministers making that decision. This government is a Marcos-government. By the way, Badawi is the most travelled PM in Malaysian history. Cool huh.
