		<description>Dear Max2811,

My point is very simple. Sometimes, those who play with racial sentiments are the loudest condemning others. Jugding from what these people wrote, there are nothing good what UMNO or Govt did. 

UMNO is ridiculed by people like you who claimed Govt's policiues only benefitting UMNOputras. You should check the lists of those receiving scholsrshiups. You would be surprised that they come from varied spectrums.

Several years ago, Dr Mahathir tried Wawasan School concepts. Expectedly, Lim Kit siang and DAP scared The Chinese that it was a ploy to eradicate vernacular schools. 

I do agree with suggestions on a more efficient public transport. What I do not accept is venomous attacks hidden behide freedom of expression</description>

		<description>One of the goals of this hefty price increase in petrol is to encourage PR MPs and state assemblymen to cross over to BN - to become a member of the BN elite who enjoys free transport (state maintained car).</description>

		<description>Dear Mr. Shamshul,
If the country has been governed by capable ppl and not racists and bigots, our country would have been so much better. Well positioned to face any global price increase. 

If our currency has been stronger, it will make imported things cheap. If our transport system has been better, less ppl will need cars. If our education system has been fair, no bright Msians would have to go overseas to study.

But if you still say the Gov. is very fair already in giving citizenships to non Malays/Muslims, vernacular schools to Chinese and Indians, then I have nothing to say to you. Because you are part of the political system that has impoverished the nation.

Yes, the price increase is inevitable. But we could have been in a better position to face it. Not like now when most of the country's riches go to the pockets of UMNObrats like you.</description>

		<description>Dear Shamshul,
With the spiraling increase and world records on the global crude oil price , the subsidy was unsustainable. The government is caught between a rock and a hard place. The early GE12 preceding the announcement of the increase is inevitable otherwise the UMNO led government may not even got that simple majority. The PM has to be brave for taking this unpopular measures which is bringing it to his knees. 

What is the government doing in encouraging the people to use alternative fuel and vehicles that uses less fuel ? In EU , they were company tax cuts and other incentives to use hybrid and diesel power cars so as to reduce the reliant on petrol fuel.
Is the government going to encourage the use of more diesel cars here which is cleaner and more environment friendly and most importantly gets 50% more mileage to the litre.
For starters, the government can do away with those exorbitant road tax and company tax for diesel and hybrid cars.
How much effort has our government put into our national car industries in developing these technologies.
In fact most major car manufacturer has their diesel variant and their production is expected to overtake their petrol cousins soon.
In the US, General Motors is closing 4 of its 4x4 and SUV vehicles plants. They already foresee the slowdown on these vehicles.

How much of the saving in subsidy is plough back into transports and utilities companies to soften the impacts on the poor and needy ? The rebates, will it be open to abuse ?</description>

		<description>One of the advice for PM is to spend wisely the saving derived from the removal of subsidies. Please just look at the budget and find out where most of the money goes.  Look at the expenditure on transfers to statutory bodies, GLCs, good for nothing development banks like Agro bank, bank industri, infrastructure banks, this tabung and that tabung. At least fuel subsidies go directly to the people. Other expenditure by the govt go to all the cronies like Shamshul Anuar may be.</description>

		<description>Dear Bumi non Malay,

I refer to your posting with regards on DAP had invited Muhyiddin and Tunku Razaleigh to join DAP. If that invitation had ever taken place, there is nothing to stop these 2 people to join DAP.

But the pricing can be political suicide. They will likely be seen as becoming allies of a political party that interests clashes with that of the Malays. These 2 gentlemen won on UMNo's ticket. Should they join DAP( God forbid) , they should vacate the seats. Then , as goes the Malay's saying " Baru tahu langit tinggi rendah".

With regards to "Godfather's remarks, perhap I should enlighten you on the much abused "Umnoputras". Who are they? Well, for a start kindly do check the lists of those who received scholarships . They includes many MPS froms PKR, PAS not to mention thousands of vernacular schools who are funded by the UMNO led govt. Yes, sir. The very vernacular schools that maybe your children are studying there. You know these types of schools are actually a rarity in this planet. How come you allow separate schools, my Canadian, Indonesian,  Thai and Singaporean friend asked me  . 

As for Reform Malaysia, perhaps you could advise the govt on how to find RM56 billion to cater for subsidy. If you are able to provide the fund or any reasonable solution to stop the ever increasing global oil price, you can be assured PM Abdullah will implement your "advices".</description>
