Lousy and Incompetent Servants !!

Four short paragraphs!!

That is the end result of a full day of cabinet meeting yesterday presumably centered around Rafidah, AP and Proton. Jeff posted the same question to readers "You... satisfied with Rafidah?". The Prime Minister Department has issued the said statement in order to deter Rafidah from giving idiotic remarks that will further damage the government's image.

The statement further explains that the National Automotive Policy (NAP) will be announced next month after further scrutiny by a committee under the PM's office. So, Rafidah is out of the picture this time, it must have been a big turn-off for her!

Coming to think of it, is the whole controversy surrounding Mahathir, Rafidah, Proton and AP a big sandiward staged by the government with a helping hand from Mahathir in order to further postpone the NAP? I mean why does a retired old man would want to participate in a "bruhaha" involving a GLC that he has no interest in? Shouldn't he be spending the rest of his life with his family and grand-children?

The postponement of NAP shows how incompetence of our cabinet members and the Malaysian government as a whole. NAP was supposed to be announced early this year, and yet it has been postponed again and again. If you think about it, the whole AP episode may as well a strategy taken to cover the incompetence of our so-called policy makers.

The latest episodes is only an addition to a long list of incompetent track record of our government, which includes:

• Failed mega government projects borne by tax payer's money (Bakun dam, Navy petrol boats, hospital with fungus)
• Rampant corruption in all government departments
• Corrupted police force and ISA
• Uncontrolled development into green lung area
• Failure in privatisation of public utilities (muddy water and interrupted power supply)
• Over protective and bailing out of various GLCs with public funds
• Racial sentiments cultivated at every political meetings and gathering
• Miserable state of public transport system and traffic planning
• Ever changing education policy
• Sad state of affairs in public universities
• Rising unemployment rate among graduates
• Questionable justice system
• Questionable policy in awarding public scholarships
• Discriminative policies in all sectors
• Twisted meritocracy system
• Rising crime rates, drug addicts and HIV cases
• Return of NEP (as if it has stopped in any way)
• Independence of universities and UUCA
• Brain drain (and in some cases done intentionally)
• Rising inflation rate
• Gap between the rich and the poor
• Poor penetration of broadband internet
• News censorship and media monopolization by political parties
• and the list goes on and on and on

Knowing the above, why are we, the tax payer, continue to hire such incompetent people to serve us? They are public servant! They should kow-tow to us as their boss! Instead, we as the employer are made to suffer from their incompetence (not to mention the latest pay rise!).

I call for pay-cut (not RM1 pay cut mind you!) to all cabinet members on grounds of negligence and incompetence!
