While people are bombarding and protesting against the BN/UMNO government over the steep hike in fuel price and the impending electricity tariff hike in July. The Menteri Besar of the Kedah (PR/PAS) State government went on a 10 days trip to Egypt and came back with a grand idea that he would form a joint committee with the Al-Azhar University, not to improve the economic conditions of Kedah but to improve students' proficiency in the Arabic language. Seemed that he is more worried about the students and those with Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia qualification, had failed in their studies in Egypt owing to poor command of the language. Read here . Thought this is the job of the Education Ministry? What next Mr. Menteri Besar, Sir? Wouldn't it be better the money you spend on this trip be use to help some very poor Kedahan.
I don't know, but I believed that because of the wastages and leakages and BN government mismanagement, the poor and the average incomes Rakyat have to bear the burden! So I would expected the Kedah MB should be more prudent and know his priorities. Much that I like this very 'seducing' news report about Anwar promises , that he will roll back fuel hike if PR assume control of the federal government. I would like to believe what Anwar promised but what if the PR leaders start the lavish spending, mismanage the wealth of the country and making the Rakyat suffer even more after assuming the control of the federal government. Is there any difference...
