					<description>As the rebates offered by the government is not only insufficient but inadequate, the government should seriously consider other measures that can help the poor directly.How about direct cash payments to those who do not own motor-bikes not to mention cars?They are going to be very much affected by inflation as a direct result of the big decrease in oil subsidy.Socal welfare payment is in order if the government do care for the poor!</description>

					<description>Talk abt tax rebates to car owner!
On 04/06/2008, Trade Minister said our fuel price wouldn't have any 'adjustment', and to newly fuel subsidy scheme (cash rebate by postal order) was executed on Apr08 till Mar09, hereby would like to ask and query HIM:

- Renewed my road on May08 before hefty fuel price, am I entitle for the tax rebate:RM625.00?

`YES`, with any further term &amp;amp; conditions, such as: &quot;(1)renew my 09-road tax in advance? (2)wait and collect it when I renew 09-road tax?&quot;. How soon can I collect it, on the spot...3days...7days...or month by months...or year by years, update and given us same accuse:&quot;it is a standard procedure&quot;? Will you act as Chief Minister of Penang, Mr. Lim Guan Eng, follow his CAT system to minimize unnecessary suspicious such as corruption, low performance, &amp;amp; etc.?

`NO`, stop lying and cheating me, plsss...! Show me your sincerity and trustworthy, to rebuild (barangx2 naik)BN reputation!


Previously I was others' brand fuel user; when I knew and understood BN'ptronas fuel subsidy scheme, and started to use brand.P fuel for my car, to show my appreciation! However, from now on, everything is different and changed to Shell! Why...?

Hopeless and dissatisfy the day after PM announced BN.ptronas should lower and depreciated fuel subsidy in order to 'cut cost' for future development plans! Look at international fuel market price, daily increasing to USD100++, what's a 'millions or billions' profit to Bn.ptronas, congratulation!

BN.ptronas &amp;amp; PM Ministry Cabinet, hereis my suggestion:
-I'm 45L car owner, no matter how best is the tax rebate scheme, even deducted the amount of RM625.00 /year and no change on 2008 road tax amount of RM90.00, I still 'force' to extra pay RM1,200.20 per annum!
-Don't talk abt others, action on anti-corruption 1st! Smart and proper plan on M'sian benefits, such as public transportation system and daily f&amp;amp;b expenses, don't waste our MONEY!
-Consider on NGV subsidy scheme, and encourage car owner to start installing and using NGV system? Why not implementing and subsidy on NGV system? 
Do you know that, simple calculation shown that: even NGV system installation might be 1k++, however, monthly -yearly will save up 'certain amount : my car can saved up RM2-3k per year!'. I think this is an alternative solution me (or all car owner?)! As YOU said, 'cut-cost'!
With only one condition, try to authorize multi-brand company to provide similar product-&amp;amp;-services in order to prevent and minimize 'traffic jam'.

MP. Fong, I'm not sure is it possible to bring topic of 'subsidy on NGV system, especially on installation and maintenance' to Parliament? It might be more helpful and benefit to us, M'sian!

Warmest regards,
TQ.</description>

					<description>Changing lifestyle is only applicable to Middle-class rakyats.

How about the low income group? Even before the rice and fuel cost  increase, they had hardly survived - how can the incompetent Cabinet of Pak Lah/BN expect them to change their life styles? From eating plan rice  3 times a day to 1 time in three days ?


How much the government expected to save? RM40 billion? But what is the opportunity cost for that?

Negative Impact from drastic/abrupt increase of fuel price by 40% /63%

1.Poor families facing the threat of starvation

2.People lost purchasing power -domestic consumption plummeted, and at the end affect the business communities too from poor sales/less or no profit.-even face closure

3. When business become bad, government too will lost revenue from corporate tax

4.Cost of doing business in Malaysia become much higher -companies need to pay higher salaries to workers to enable them to survive.  Effect - Increase in price of goods produced-both for local consumption and export markets- we lost competitiveness vis-a-vis other countries.(less revenue from export)

5.Closure  of companies because of unbearable cost of doing business will cause many people lose their jobs

6.High  unemployment rate will lead to higher crime rate in the country. Various social problems will surface.

So how much Malaysia loss by BN government wanting to save RM40 billion?  Probably  RM900 billion.

It is wise to save RM40 billion(while the government still have other choice)  to lose RM900 billion? The RM40 billion saved 'for development purpose' probably instead used to solve the greater loss and problems that it generated from this wrong move.

IT TOOK US HALF A CENTURY TO BUILD MALAYSIA AS OF TODAY, BUT AN UNWISE ACTION BY THE 'NOT SO WISE' BARISAN NASIONAL LEADERS HEADED BY PAK LAH MAY DESTROY THE NATION WITHIN  SIX MONTHS</description>

					<description>Why would Badawi do such unpopular move? I only fear for the problem might be bigger than we can imagine. I can only be thankful that I'm at Arkansas and not Malaysia. I only fear for my aunt and her family. Her husband makes about RM1000 per month only and they have 4 kids. How can they survive with this amount? What about the low income family living in KL, Penang, and JB?

I only hope BN will learn from their mistakes and will try to stop the corrupt practices.</description>
