BASICALLY, what I am trying to say is the guy can't count lah.
CONSIDER the following ; sometime around August 7 and August 6, READ : Anwar Ibrahim announced an increase in the Padi Price Subsidy Scheme (SSHP) rate from RM360 to RM500 per metric tonne of padi production.
S0 basic maths will tell you that last year, the minimum per tonne the paddy farmer was getting was RM1285 + RM360: RM1645 per tonne. At no time were they getting RM1700 per tonne last year.
SO instead of crediting Anwar Ibrahim for the extra RM55 ringgit per tonne the paddy farmer will now be receiving, what does Mohammad Sabu, the Agriculture Minister rushes out to do? READ : . PADI FARMERS ARE STILL GETTING RM1,700 PER TONNE, WITH RM500 SAYS MAT SABU.
WITH a senior minister like this on the prowl, you don't need enemies or even an opposition in Parliament to paint you in a bad light..
