We had had our Satu Siti concert on the National Day, though nobody knows what is the correlation between Siti and Independence day that necessitate the subsidised Istana Budaya rental and one channel in Astro only to repeat the recording of the concert throughout hari raya.

And now Malaysian will have its own 1Malaysia F1 team in their palate by 2010.

I really am disturbed hearing this announcement made by our dimwitted prime minister.  His reasoning for having this team, which will be partly funded by taxpayers money through investment in Proton, is to give spill-over benefit to the business of Proton, Naza and AirAsia.

I would say that this is a blatant abuse of taxpayers money by the government, which in the first place should be properly channelled to projects that benefited the people, and mind you that Proton, Naza and AirAsia are not people, but 3 large corporations owned by capitalists. Oh Najib, please do not bull us when Khazanah is already in the course of disposing its share in Proton.

It seems that the ever unpopular government does not to care to stay in power in the next general election. I bet if the Pakatan Rakyat win the next general election, the juak-juak would simply create havoc in the country saying that the PR is ‘pemecah perpaduan’ and it’s only the juak-juak that can maintain the unity of the people. What a load of crap! (SB please close your eyes on this!)

I can still remember in an interview with Hassan Merican (check theStar 14/2/09), the Star asked him on the amount of money spent on F1. He said "It does not matter on how much we spent, but a study made by UM revealed that the economy benefited by the amount of RM1.5b during the week of Malaysia F1 in 1999". Hell yes, I am pretty sure that the amount spent is way more than RM1.5b that he declined to reveal the figures.

I personally have no issue that Petronas has its own F1 team, afterall it is just another corporation trying to advertise itself. But for the country of Malaysia to have its own team to help corporations the likes of Naza and AirAsia is pretty bizarre as there are so many people in Malaysia who eat siput babi as a source of protein, and thousands of Malaysian need to face the battle of squeezing themselves in KTM commuter on a daily basis to earn a bit of rezeki for the family.

Time is running out. Please register yourself with SPR to book yourself an electoral voting right. On which party to cast your cross/vote, you decide!

p/s: What a coincidence. An LRT has derailed at Bandaraya station this morning at 8a.m. resulting in thousands of passengers stranded at various LRT stations on their way to work, with no alternative bus being provided. SHAME ON YOU BARISAN NASIONAL. F1 kunun…bangang la juak-juak ni.
