At the end of the day, politicians are all the same - superadmin - 06-15-2024 As Malaysians, what have we learnt about politicians, through their track record? Apparently, not much. See, they get away with saying one thing, and doing the complete opposite. Yet, even after falling for their rhetoric umpteen times, we still get upset and start a national dialogue about what they said and then did. The government raised the price of diesel this week by removing the subsidy they were giving. The move was to save the nation RM4.5 billion. From a national economy stand-point, it seems like a good idea, on paper. There seem to be many earnest supporters of this initiative. The Prime Minister, whilst announcing the decision to remove the diesel subsidy, said that it should not benefit the rich, and foreigners. He argued that now, only targeted sectors would truly benefit, and that the government will not be subsidising fuel for those who do not deserve it. - More -
