Attacks Karpal? raise the toll rates?

Haih. as im watching Buletin Utama this night, the headline shows there ; UMNO Youth mob attacks wheelchair-bound Karpal outside Parliament. whats up? if u do read, or else watch tv i think u knew what is going on with Karpal Singh and his harsh statment toward the UMNO youth. "Pemuda UMNO hantar peluru. Pemuda UMNO c****a." (damned or inauspicious) a day ago. pergh. it sounds very rude. but, Karpal did that to show Malaysia how he got mad after received 2 bullets and blackmails. okay stop. critically think of it.

“It is typical Umno Youth wanting to act like a hero all the time. We have condemned their behaviour so many times, but they only keep getting bolder. The going is really getting tougher by the day.” - KeADILan information chief Tian Chua.

“This is the pinnacle of insolence. We are fed-up with promises that action will be taken and we don’t just want any investigation, we want an assurance from the Speaker that the sanctity of this Parliament will not be destroyed.” - Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.

Thats some reasons on why the UMNO youth was aimed. Personally i think, this political scenario are becoming worst in every single day. everybody keep pointing finger to each other. but, if these situation is not professionally curb, the worse case scenario that will happen is cold war that will effect Malaysian in various fields. For me, im afraid if the black historical day, May 13th 1969 occur again.

The next thing was, Malaysia hikes toll rates by as much as 33% on five major highways. check this up!

1. For the North-South Expressway, users will have to pay an extra 0.86 sen per kilometre, or about 5 percent more.
2. Sprint Highway, the rate at the Pantai toll plaza will increase by 50 sen to RM2, up by 33 percent. At the Damansara toll plaza, the rate will be raised by 30 sen RM1.30, up by 30 percent.
3. Ampang Elevated Highway, the rate will rise by 50 sen or 33 percent to RM2.
4. Sungai Besi Highway, toll will be increased by 10 sen or 7.7 percent to RM1.40.
5. New Pantai Expressway, the toll will be raised by 40 sen or 25 percent to RM2.

Its a burden to all peoples that frecuently use highway as a first alternative way to go work. look, Works Minister Mohd Zin Mohamed said the government paid RM245 million in compensation to concessionaires to waive the toll hike for last year." its should rise on January 1st 2008. but, i think, in 2008, we have a national election. to maintain THEIR majority vote, the goverment hold this raising price of tolls until now. but now, when we are suffering the global economy crisis, the gov sebuk sebuk wanna rise it. dushh.

For those who are known as VVIP, VIP, or else org-org atasan, they officially get a monthly allowances on road, a car etc. for us, citizen are the one who will be suffering the effects. think about it guys.
