Ismail Sabri, his Finance Minister & the Auditor General's report : We Didn't Start The Fire

is the smash hit from Billy Joel's 1989 best seller album Storm Front, the American rock singers 11th studio album.

STORM fronts swirl every year, the Auditor General releases the Auditor General's report.


THE latest report tabled in Parliament before it took a break for the GE 15, specifically names seven states (Johor, Melaka, Perak, Perlis, Penang, Sabah and Sarawak) were given Opinion Without Reprimand.


BASICALLY, these are potential red flags, hence caretaker Prime Minister Ismail Sabri if he indeed is for reforms will do more good than harm to train his guns on the civil service to root out any hanky panky rather than to READ : Have BN candidates be vetted by the religious department

HERE is a suggestion to the Prime Minister, how about weekly vetting by the religious department on the top civil servants, district officers ect ect, to be posted on their websites for the public to comment on


We didn't start the fireIt was always burning, since the world's been turningWe didn't start the fireNo, we didn't light it...


HERE is one dumb suggestion and an interesting one.  The dumb one first, can we just park 70 per cent of  Government expenditure in a Fixed Deposit in Qatar or Kuwait? READ : REAL interest rates in Qatar and Kuwait stand at between 20 per cent to 21 per cent


FAILING which,. Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul should anwser, why he did not include some form of Goods and Service Tax measures in his proposed Budget 2023.

THOSE aspiring to replace Zafrul as Finance Minister such as Mohammed Hassan, Johari Abdul Ghani and Rafizi Ramli should outline now rather than latter how they intend to raise net government revenue from the current LAUGHABLE returns.
