		<description>I still don't understand the issue. I can only ponder what it is about.
It is only celebrated once a year and so what's wrong with celebrating it with a big bang. We all like to celebrate after all the gloom in 1 year. It is still smaller than the PKFZ. I think the BN must also invite all the opposition to celebrate and jolly together once a year. Jangan kedekut la.
If there is corruption involve again, then call in the ACA. If found nothing, then make it even bigger next year and this time invite also foreign parliamentarians. Maybe throw in too a visit to all the YB's houses, palaces, business premises and show them what the celebration is all about. Mana ada malu. All honest decent gains from working a decent wage like all Malaysians.</description>

It is all about "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.</description>

		<description>Paya Menkuang had its own Merdeka Celebration and it did not cost the taxpayers anything. It even reflects the true spirit with all its ugly truths laid out.


They can spend RM100mil on the celebration and can't spend a small amount to better manage the pig farms, instead focibly shutting things down. The lesson here? Ugly truth, even in wrapped out in state forms, brings out ugliness in everyone.</description>

		<description>We donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t (oppose) the government helping the poor, but when (the poor can) stand up already, then we must let them freely compete,Ã¢â‚¬Â Cheng told a news conference.

     The problem is the more you have and the more you want and they have the power to take as much as they like and do not have to  account for it. The sky is the limit and in this case even after reaching the sky I do not think they will want to get out of the comfort zone to compete.

      So Mr Cheng, though you and me know that it is like asking for the moon, but you did it right to pass a message to them. We will now sit and watch their reaction and you can be sure those bunch of monkeys will feel like .Just watch how these envisage there will be some nasty words for you from</description>

		<description>Maybe that is Islam Hadhari he is practicing and so does all those supporting him. Why don't YB ask for other expenses rather than just for Merdeka celeb. eg. New Insurance scheme in Kelantan, milk scheme, free textbooks etc.? Maybe you'll get the same reaction?</description>

		<description>The 50th Merdeka really has little meaning, they are trying to praise what they have done but if you look at Singapore than everyone realise that they have done nothing worth in the pass 50 years!

I would say spend the money on a tree planting day will have more meaning and worth spending.</description>

		<description>Should we thank the fools who placed this administration into power?
http://the-malaysian.blogspot.com/2007/09/malaysian-chinese-businessmen-urge.html
...they acknowledged that affirmative action policies were also causing concerns. "We don't (oppose) the government helping the poor, but when (the poor can) stand up already, then we must let them freely compete," Cheng told a news conference. Many analysts say that the objective of the affirmative action policy has already been met and that the Malays hold a substantial amount of national wealth. The government denies that with both sides providing conflicting statistics to make their case. Cheng stopped short of asking the government to review its policies, stressing that "if we go into detail, we're going to quarrel."</description>
