KUALA LUMPUR, 7 Okt: Pakatan Rakyat sependapat elaun ahli Parlimen bukan keperluan utama untuk dinaikkan sebaliknya kerajaan harus menekankan integriti Parlimen itu sendiri. Mengulas belanjawan 2012 yang dibentangkan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak petang tadi, ahli Parlimen Kubang Kerian, Salahuddin Ayub berkata, kerajaan seharusnya menekankan aspek ketelusan Parlimen untuk memerangi salah tadbir negara. |
OCT 7 — The expectations were high for a pre-election budget where Datuk Seri Najib Razak will stamp his “reformist” credentials. It is for the prime minister to put into action the various reform pledges made in his cornerstone policy blueprints — the New Economic Model (NEM), Government Transformation Programme (GTP) and the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP).
However, the announcement of the budget left much to be desired as little has changed beyond tweaking the budget of the previous financial year. Instead what is perhaps the most worrying is that Malaysians are like the proverbial frog in hot soup — where the frog does not realise the soup is slowly but surely reaching boiling point.
