RM1.5 tril national debt: Shouldn’t unity government be trimming spending, bonuses, f

[superadmin]

WOULD any company continue to be generous with bonuses (ie year-end bonus in addition to a separate Raya bonus) or throw Raya open houses across three opposition states (Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu) regardless of how lavish they are when they are in RM1.5 tril debt?

Likewise, human rights advocate Charles Hector is also baffled by the fact that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim further dished out a total of four toll-free days to make this year’s Raya – the first under his unity government – a truly memorable one.

“If Anwar and the government managed to convince Malaysia’s toll operators to not collect toll for the Raya period, that would have been great,” Hector penned in his latest blog. “But now it seems that the government has to bear about RM93 mil to implement the four-day ‘Rahmah’ toll initiative.”
