Selangor MB's Broom Award

They say a new broom sweeps clean, I hope the person who receive this will use the broom.

.

.

Yesterdays The Star reported that the Selangor MB gave out Broom Award to 2 persons for under performance in collecting Tax (below 50%). Today the newspaper report that Cuepacs (Malaysian Civil Servant association) Unhappy, MP’s question Award. .

.

Comments, I use to look up to the Selangor MB, as it was reported that he followed his enforcement people in the middle of the night, Frankly I lost faith in him with the Datok Z case of the Istana in the Low Cost area, and the Satay Restaurant. This will help me to recover a bit of faith in the BN government. .

.

My issuers with this .

This type of poor performance in the Public sector at the very least you get reprimand, in most companies the ball is set rolling for you to get sack, to self resign, or evidence of wrong doing. A pay cut, No bonus, No increment will definitely be on. .

.

. Getting a Broom I would not mind that at all, and for the others to defend the people / department that got the broom, well all I can say is Malaysia Government Boleh. I say this to the Selangor MB Do More, Give out more brooms, Still poor performance “start on cutting pay” then “reprimand” then “Sack them” then results will start showing, .

.

I say this to Cuepacs and the MP’s .

.

This is the Real Malaysia Boleh, Any thing also Can, Buck up, Improve, Some one is daring enough to helm the change for the better, for H---- sake support him

if you do not want to get the broom, work harder! Any one care to comment

Penang Chief Minister, Please follow suit, you may get my vote during the Next election. I still stay at Tanjung Bungah.

Cost of Living

Looks like we are in for another round of price increase soon. I am still feeling the effects of the last price increase. Fuel prices will be increasing soon, (a newspaper report say) to RM 2.50 per liter from the current rate. That I am sure will cause prices for all goods and services to go up, especially hawker food. Toll is also going up soon. Even if the price do not go up, the portion size is reduce to compensate, as such instead of one portion is enough, one portion is now not enough.

.

.

Then the ppl in power will advice again, “buy essential good, buy wisely and cheaper items only. “ well we have been hearing that for a few times now, for those who have listen to the advice the first time, it may make the difference, but how many time can a person cut down.

.

.

The last time this was said, I was already down to buy house brand goods, from the hypermarts. Do you notice the House Brand items, while cheaper do not measure up to the normal brands. (Note: I am not talking on the premium brands) it is either smaller in size, or the quality sucks. .

.

Need some better advice then that. Anyone care to give suggestions or even location where one can get cheaper goods.

.

.

Well what can one do to decrease cost of living now a days? .

.

1. I compare and find which hypermart give me more bang for the RM, in general which is cheaper and to buy from that one Hyper mart only I will not travel to multiple places to get the items I need as that would result in spending more in petrol, then I try to cut down trips to hyper marts and purchase in bulk, down to twice a month, and trying to go to once a month.

.

.

2. Cut down trips in general, no joy ride trips, go to work and then back in the most direct and non jam road, leave earlier or later to avoid jam. No weekly trip for recreation or cinema. Accelerate Slowly, anticipate slow down, so do not step on accelerator etc . My Wira 1.3 aeroback manual, gives me around 300km to 350 km for RM 50 now.

.

.

3. Just purchase a Electrical Saver Devise, which claims to cut down electricity by 30%, (I hope) for just RM40 via lelong, at the local Hypermart it cost RM200+ (different brand though) will blog on it and see if it works. Currently electrical bill is around RM65 – RM 80 monthly. 30% of that will be RM15. so hopefully bill will come in at RM50 to RM65.

4. Do not use Air Con, only Fans. .

5. Am trying to purchase items such as clothing’s via internet, Just purchase 2 pants, took 1 month, for it to arrive, the guy ran out of stock, for RM40 each, quality is just not there. I think purchasing trough Internet may cut down you cost, just that it is too much guess work, you cannot examine quality over the net, and scams make me vary. .

.

Well it will definitely affect my blogging, Food cost more, Petrol Cost more, so less food reviews, I have not even started on my Travels side so now no traveling.
