A younger, slimmer and much more believable Rafizi Ramli told us years ago, that VIEW : UMNO lost power because it cut subsidies, but should we even be bothered about that, since most of us are not politicians.
THE answer is YES and NO but definitely not a MAYBE.
AT this stage of the political calendar, with GE 16, a bit too far away, we should not have politics as a major consideration, what more READ : with even PAS supporting the move, in what looks like a major split with Bersatu.
YET, we should be damn angry with the diesel subsidy abolishment, but not for the reasons that are coming out from podcast such as Keluar Sekejap.
WE, should be mad as hell, because there is another side to all these subsidy abolishments, which the Government has not kept its end of the bargain .
MALAYSIA, you should be asking Rafizi Ramli where is the promise to end monopolies such as rice monopolies, or the abolishment of the rent seekers dream , the approved permit business for automotives and mobile phones?
WHERE is the good governance promised to Malaysians that would have automatically disqualify Hannah Yeoh's READ : husband to rake in millions of Ringgit in a scheme that heavily involves two layers of government subsidies.
NO where in sight. We should be angry but not for the wrong reasons, and that's the bottom line to this story.
