Front page of today the Sun paper reports:
Kuala Lumpur: The government will spend RM160 billion on people-centred projects that will bring tangible benefits and improve the quality of life...
Projects that are not people-centred under the original plan will be put on hold ... These include the RM2 billion Penang Monorail and RM1.5 Penang Outer Ring Road...
Najib said the federal government was not punishing the voters for voting the Pakatan Rakyat.
These 2 projects were planned for Penang by BN government, now they are saying that these 2 projects are not priority and not people-centred. I cannot fathom the logic why the 2 projects are not people-centred since they are improving the transportation in Penang. Now they say they want to use the money for rural roads!
Any way 3.5 out 0f 160 billion is only 2% of the total budget. What more they are adding another RM30 billion to the budget (after 40% of fuel hike!) They are now giving RM1 billion to Sabah since SAPP wanted to give our PM a vote of no confidence.
The people had spoken, yet they have not heard. Looked like we need to speak louder in the next election.
