Cutting Allowance! Burden Sharing?

The slashing of allowances and limitation on paid holidays take effect on July 1. Even the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister will not be spared this new ruling.

For the paid holidays, Cabinet members will not be allowed to claim for more than a week’s holiday.

Crazy! I have no idea before that our Cabinet members can enjoy “unlimited paid” holiday. You can travel anywhere, anytime and all these will be paid by peoples’ money. I can’t imagine that after you all getting the salary from peoples and you still can enjoy this benefit. Crazy! Waste! Why should we all bear your cost! Now, the PM said that they are still allowed to travel to South East Asia. Bullshit! I cannot hide my anger anymore. A lot of peoples could not even have their changes to go oversea in their whole life. Our cabinet members could still enjoy this benefit. After all, our DPM still brave enough to say that the government shares the burden with the Rakyat. Again, bullshit! Cutting entertainment fees is called sharing the burden. What about giving up your salary? Useless MCA now asked for abolishing toll and road tax. I just wonder whether they are inside the government or not… but anyway, no hope for them, not even a single hope to them. Of course, don't expect too much from our current "wasteful" government...
