The Killing Field Part 2 : Langgeng dan bahagia dalam dunia kepura puraan

NOT since the days, of the first trial of Anwar Ibrahim had I come across a newspaper article with so much half truths in it ,that the entire integrity of the editorial board had been tarnished by a stroke of a pen.

YES, the adults will laugh at it, the children will throw stones at it and worst still doge shall gather from all across Malaysia, just to bark at it . 


LEMBU punya Susu, Sapi punya Nama, is  the term that best comes to my mind, as to who in Malaysia prevented a food crisis in 2008.

IT was the then Prime Minister Najib Razak who prevented the crisis and certainly not Bernas, which was supposed to absorb the losses but washed it's hands off, forcing Najib Razak's Government  to subside the purchase of foreign rice into Malaysia. READ : Looking Back at the ST15 RICE, Was this a subsidy to help the poor buy cheap rice or was it a subsidy to benefit Bernas directly?


THE government eventually had to kill the ST15 Rice , which BERNAS was tasked to manage READ : But there were too many leakages in the Bernas managed scheme that Parliament demanded that this can't go on.

SO the only time when the shit hit the fan, ie that being in 2008, Bernas not only wet its pants but the Government had to buy dispers for Bernas as well READ : to the tune of a RM750 per tonne subsidy for millers such as Bernas to process the ST15 Rice.

BERNAS sleeps on the job and yearly gets RM600 million to so call manage the country's rice needs but the moment there was trouble in 2008, who had to step in ? The Government of Malaysia.

FAST forward 15 years, to present day 2023, only for us to learn what out kindergarten teachers thought us is actually the gospel truth ; a leopard never changes it spots. READ :To the rescue for Malaysia, is the government's own Lembaga Pemasaran Pertanian Persekutuan (FAMA) and NOT the cash rich BERNAS

SO why are all of us still playing Santa Clause to a bum like Bernas???
