3 for 3 ?

So, it was recently announced the governments proposal for the GST is postponed.

This comes after the cancellation of the tiered fuel system and the reintroduction of the RPGT late last year.

As far as I can see, things aren't looking good for the current administration. The infamous Khir Toyo came out saying that our PM is smart for trying new things and postponing them after listening to the voices of the Rakyat.

While I do agree with the concept of new ideas to help, especially the lower income groups, what I don't understand is suggesting something that even a common person can tell you is a crazy idea. Even the MyKad is not perfected. I can't find one person who agreed that the tiered fuel system would have been a good idea. How much time and money went into that?

Toll Traffic...

Now that I work in Glenmarie, I have to use the toll twice a day and there is something that baffles me. The queue at the cash lane.

I don't get it. Fine, if you want to argue that the SmartTag cost about 100 bucks to get, I understand. But as far as I know, the Touch N Go card is virtually free. Why don't more people just get that?

I save AT LEAST 20 minutes of travelling time by not paying cash and using a SmartTag.

Surely the queue can't be caused purely by people wanting receipts or not having enough on their Touch N Go?

Molotov-ing and Stonings...

Are you guys nuts ?

Seriously, what does this damage accomplish? You're angry over the use of a word Allah? I can relate to the anger if people were using it wrongly or in an insulting manner but because just because a non-Muslim is saying it?

So, that means you should result to violence? And that does what for you? Push you up to a higher plane? You think your God is pleased at your actions?

I read a comment that I thought was very spot on from a buddy of mine :

"Burn a church, burn a mosque, burn a temple, burn a gudwara, heck burn it all, label it a 1Malaysia excercise. Muhibbah eh? Then you'll all be even. Job done."

What the hell is going on...
