When Ramunia the public company could be mistaken for Gardenia the private company known for bread ‘good enough to eat on its own’, it shows the level of debate we have in Parliament. Came across this interesting or should it be hilarious exchange in: yang ditanya ramunia bhd. yang dijawab roti gardenia Nurul Izzah Anwar
‘To err is human, to forgive is divine’ was what we learned in school. But there were many instances of custodians of public funds who made ‘big mistakes’ leaving no doubt there were abuses of power and likely criminal breaches of trust. Buying unusually large stakes in certain public companies is something beyond what they were supposed to do.
In other instances, where contracts were signed in favour of concessionaires instead of the public, something is definitely wrong with our state of governance.
What we need are people who have ‘integrity, integrity and integrity’ when it comes to managers of public entities . As trustees of public funds, their first principle should be 'public interest comes first', not like what happened in the last Selangor state government, where the state development companies looked after the wives of state representatives instead, and ordering a Rm1.5million company car for the chairman, who happened to be the Chief Minister!
How should we judge a government?
In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!
"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain
Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham
"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan
