This is analogous to planting nice vegetables in front of the house and just because they are to nice to be eaten, we sell them to others and then purchase some cheap and rotten vegetables for self consumption.

The logic is what if we have already promised to sell our nice vegetables to others and others refuse to sell us their “rotten vegetables”? What is there left to eat? I still remember Mahathir saying that we close our doors when our currency was speculated by Soros. How can we close our doors when we are not the least bit self sufficient?

this will provide some transparency ….and perhaps confirm/reject the role Petronas played during the asian currency crisis….

In the 70’s – They didn’t love us, so keep quiet!
In the 90’s – They didn’t care about us, so stop complaining!
201?’s – They don’t need us, so get lost ???

As a direct result of what my own Chinese leaders (MCA ) did not bargain for their own skins right from the beginning, I was made one among many poor chinese victims of the NEP (not all Chinese are rich please!). And that was 1975.

Over these 32 years since I just don’t know how many more of poor Chinese & others have sufferred and how many more will suffer in the future.

We are still reaping the bad fruits of what MCA had earlier sow!

Don’t blame the Malays, we only have ourselves to blame.If MCA still don’t put their foot down now, what is your take of the future?

Like a badly run and loss making Company, the only way to find out what’s wrong and stop the losses is to change management.

If much of Petronas funds are invested overseas (but off balance sheet without being disclosed to us) how do we know whether they are well managed or otherwise? (Maybe we should ask its advisor, TDM). If I were not mistaken even Temasik does not disclose completely how its vast financial resources are invested…

But surely if govt does not follow DAP’s proposals, it can still use a portion of Petronas bumper profits to benefit us.

The last time, it withdrew a part of fuel subsidies on the justification of high oil prices which was supposed to generate an estimated RM4.4 billion per year to be spent on improving the public transportation system. (I don’t see it improved?) The withdrawal in fact caused a cost-push inflation across the board making it difficult for the middle and lower income groups.

Now compare this to the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ)’s fiasco. Here the government is prepared to effect with alacrity a bailout (though one off) (to the benefit of selected few not made to account) of RM 4.6 billion without a blink of an eye and yet had a such a toothache earlier to buffer us RM4.4 billion (for benefit of all) against the rise in oil prices.

No, I am not static.

No, I am not merely saying and not doing.

I am trying very hard.

The fact that management figures of Petronas is not beholden to public scrutiny makes it even more so.

Hoping that our next generation doesn’t need to endure what we going through or leaving the problem to the next generation to fix is totally irresponsible.

If we want the next generations to have a better life, then we ourselves have to do something about it NOW !!!

Dun regret or blame the next generations next time we get old and elderly and have to depend on them but they are too busy fighting for a living and can’t look after us.

You reap what you sow.

If you yourself is in Malaysia and incapable of migrating to another country, most likely your children would be here in Msia as well in the future.

If you yourself can’t get out of the country, how much chance does your children have ? You have to pray very hard that they are hardworking and have good academic results in this case.

On the other hand, if you yourself is a highly-educated professional or reasonably rich, then I would say you have nothing to worry about.
