Political & Corruption

I think this quote is very meaningful for all loving Malaysians

"Without political corruption in the upper classes... the blatant plundering of the people by the corrupt gentry would never take place,"

"Without the weakness and stupidity of the lower classes, they (the corrupt gentry) would not be able to build their fortresses founded on social injustice."

Cabinet considering RM800mil Parliament building in Putrajaya - from The Star Paper

The goverment told us that subsidy to be cut if not country will go bankcrupt by 2015 , GST coming soon and all this signs told us the country is facing doomsday and yet the BN Goverment of the day, have the guts to tell us they are building a new Parliment building

In fact asking us to tighten our belt here and there ...... when the public ask for more pedestrian bridge, more schools and so forth.....they told us no money ....what the heck is this people thinks of the BN goverment on their 1Malaysia concept

All cleaned out after leaving wallet in the wash

PETALING JAYA: A mechanical engineer had RM200 literally “washed away” when the print on his new RM50 notes disappeared after he accidentally left his wallet in the laundry.

Yeoh Jit Shiong, 25, was shocked to find that the damaged notes were almost unrecognisable on Saturday evening.

What remained were the security threads and watermarks.

Faded notes: The four new RM50 notes that were decolourised after they were left in the washing machine by mistake.

“The printing was completely washed off, including the serial number.

“What’s surprising is that an old RM50 note that got washed along with the new notes wasn’t damaged at all,” said Yeoh.

“If an old RM50 note can withstand being in a washing machine, why not the new RM50 note, which is supposed to be an improved, upgraded version?” he asked.

Yeoh had withdrawn RM300 in RM50 notes from an ATM in USJ earlier in the day.

He said the notes from the ATM were new and genuine.

“I used RM50 to pay the cashier at a petrol station, who validated it with a bank-note detector.

“With the serial numbers washed off, how am I going to take the notes back to the bank for an exchange?”

How can this happen?? This is a serious matter as it concern the security of the Malaysia monetary ....I just can't get it how this could happen ...
