Change Lifestyle to Curb Inflation- PM

It amused me that our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had to call upon Malaysian to change lifestyle to curb inflation. He made the statement in an interview with Japanese media in Tokyo. Interestingly on the same day it was also revealed in the Selangor state assembly that the wives of the former Barisan National state leaders ( Balkis ) made extreme expenses on

1. Use of Sports Facilites RM158,000
2. Batik Clothing for members & husbands RM128,000
3. Souvenir books RM49,000
4. Sports programme RM100,000
5. Deepavali & Hari Raya celebrations RM200,000
6. Sports uniforms RM100,000
7. Food for sports event RM30,000

I would suggest that the above advice should be directed to all BN leaders to change their lifestlye not to spend unnecessarily and not to the Rakyat who are actually living through their means from the high cost of petrol,rice and household products.They should follow the good example set by YAB Lim Guan Eng, the Chief Minister of Penang who not only refuse to stay at the CM residence but also fly in economic class.(reported in my earlier blog).

All those wasteful spending on Mega projects which does not really benefit the Rakyat should be stop. It was also reported that there are now many white elephant projects in Selangor which are hardly utilise like the Shah Alam Stadium and the 3C Complex in Subang Jaya.
