This is similar to Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye's chairmanship of the NS program. These chairmen has no authority and they are paid to lend legitimacy to a scheme to steal the taxpayers money. It is the reverse of many private sector companies appointing prominent Malays as chairmen to gain favour for their listing status and/or government approvals, licences or contracts. But at least private sector companies do not steal from the tax payer in most cases and if they do, at least they are more subtle in their schemes. Clearly the three chairmen were paid to close both eyes to what was going on and that explains why they were not able to answer the simplest of questions. They have no authority and were paid generous allowance and benefits to turn the blind eye. They learned all these from their UMNOputra masters and the thinking is since UMNO is doing this and on a bigger scale, why shouldn't they as a BN component party member do the same thing? They have sold their souls to the devil and also sold out their non Malay brethens. As for the PAC, less said the better. It is a rubber stamp body existing just to whitewash Govt. scandals. What I cannot understand is why DAP's Dr Tan Seng Giaw, as Deputy PAC Chairman, remains silent on all these PAC scandals and investigations. By doing so, is he agreeing with their findings or is he also practising the same thing as all these "chairmen"?

They suggested keeping track of any scandals occuring within/by the government. I suggest that a database be built and all relevent improprieties be logged. The details and status of investigations if any are carried out should all be recorded. People involved in the scandals and investigations should be stored as well. Outcomes and results of investigations into scandals should also be logged. When the new government comes into power all these can be investigated impartially if they were not already done so. People can then be called into account. I suggest the DAP assemble if they have not already done so and IT team to look into this very doable project. I also suggest that all material stored in the database be put online for the nation to view. Come election time the current rotten government cannot sweep away all the injustices they have commited. They will be called to account. I agree very strongly with the suggestions given by

Conclusion : If you choose to contribute 8%, you will end up paying more income tax to the government, which will make the government richer. Finance Minister Najib said this measure is meant to boost up the slow-down market, but from this example wee see that the money does not go into the market. Instead the money goes direct into the government's pocket through the greater amount of income tax that we will have to pay. Obviously this measure does not help the market at all.
