It was an old news on Friday's newspaper as the government was proposing on subsidy cuts in food items, petrol, gas, toll rates, healthcare and education.
By implementing this subsidy cuts, the government is going to cut our throats as well.. Everyone is going to be infected by this move.. Even though, publics were warned by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, our country is going to be bankrupt in 2019 if the government continues to subsidy to us..
Oh my God.. It was a shocking fact.. We are suppose to move towards to Wawasan 2020 but before we are reaching the peak, we are already bankrupt a year before.. I am very disappointed..!! Is it true our country really going to bankrupt?? It sounds fishy.. We are currently developing and a lot of us are paying huge sums of tax money to the government..!!
If you were reading today's newspaper, the government is giving out 1 MILLION laptops to poor students.. It was a good move to increase the broadband penetration.. However, on the other hand, the government is wasting Million of Ringgits.. Just few days ago, we were told we are going to bankrupt, so the government supposes to be saving money.. Let I assume, one laptop is pricing at RM 1,500, hence RM 1,500 x 1,000,000 = RM 1,500,000,000.. Look at the number of digits..!! One Billion and Five hundred Million Ringgits..
In matter of fact, the government can use another way to increase the broadband penetration.. Since these laptops are targeting on students, why not upgrade the school's computer labs facilities.. This will increase the number of students using computer and internet in school.. Encourage the students to use internet in school, students would always come to school to online in return they wont go out involve with unhealthy activities.. Most importantly, be fair to all students.. It wouldn't be fair, if a poor income student brings a laptop to school while an average income student looks on it..
Another concern is how the government distribute the laptops to poor students?? Let say, one poor family has 5 children study in secondary school, so is it all 5 of them will get the laptops?? Sounds too good to be true..
