You will NEVER see this kind of news in Malaysia
(From a Melbourne newspaper)
Don't the RAKYAT, who pays all kinds of taxes, deserves to know what the KERAJAAN is doing with their hard-earned MONEY? Alas, ALL the major local media are owned by the government. You will ALWAYS hear GOOD things on ANYTHING that the government is doing. It's ALWAYS the "MALAYSIA BOLEH" excuse. Apa pun BOLEH lah...
It's really sad... RM95,000,000... 95 million ringgit of the RAKYAT's money goes into sending someone to space, for what??? I mean, seriously, that kind of money, could have been more wisely distributed to many of our SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, PUBLIC AMENITIES, ROADS, UTILITIES, POLICE FORCE, and the desperate list goes on and on and on... If some of those people in the committee that agreed to spend that 95 million had actually stepped into some of our schools and hospitals... *shakes head*
How come we've never heard about our rich and developed neighbour, Singapore doing anything like this? With less people, and even lesser land and natural resources, it really makes one wonder, why Singapore is FAR ahead of Malaysia in many areas, especially in the area of accumulating wealth. WHAT went wrong? Or rather, what went RIGHT?
Probably, there could have been a LONG TERM PLAN for a space program, something that could give Malaysia a good return for the money invested, if not now, maybe some years later. If you read the government-controlled local media, did you come across any such plan? "Oh, he will not be the first and only" (Another 95 million or more gone)
And that so-called "good-looking" guy that they chose to go into space... he hardly could complete his Masters program well... I'm sure his HUKM university-mates could testify to this... Just listen to him talk... like what Jamie said - prepubescent! How come none of the real, top scientists in our nation get chosen for this job? Because they are not "good-looking"? Or is it because they had migrated already to other countries? Hmmm...
Sigh... I'm NOT trying to defame my nation, my country of birth. I do love Malaysia for so many things... peace, harmony, free of natural disasters, the variety of food, language, race, religion, freedom of worship, and so many more things... so I AM THANKFUL for what I have now... It's just that sometimes, I wish the leaders of this nation could have been more prudent and wise in spending the RAKYAT's hard-earned money. Guess I gotta pray more for them...
Will things ever change, Lord?
