Mercedez Benz only for foreign VIP

Omg, today news paper came out that the 14 Mercedes E200 Kompressors can only be used for foreign VIP. They used RM3.43millions to bought cars and leave it and stand by for the foreign VIP. The problem is how often foreign VIPs go to Terengganu?

At the beginner the Menteri Besar(MB) claimed that the maintenance fees for Perdana V6 was RM235,123.08 and it was INCORRECT. Now they claimed that it was miscalculated by a clerk.
Omg, how can a MB get a figure from a clerk and shout in front of all media? This is ridiculous. The actual amount is RM131,449.83. Idris (former MB) may sue Terengganu Govt, so the govt may need to compensate another "figure" to Idris.

From the above, we can tell that our govt say/do something before verify it. In another way, they trust their own staff 100% and never suspect them. Or perhaps they made the mistake and now just simply claim to someone... Our govt love to apologise... and apologise = case closed

"Proton Perdana V6" VS "Toyota Camry" VS "Mercedes"

Everyone talking about the official cars for state executive councillors.

At the beginning, Kuala Terengganu state government placed a deposit for a high-end Mercedes-Benz.Then nation gov made noise on it and claimed that there is no special order for a Mercedes-Benz S class for the "Menteri Besar".

Kuala Terengganu state gov claimed that they had paid RM235,123.08 to maintain the Proton Perdana V6 Executive used by former Terengganu Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh from 2004 to this year. (Utusan Malaysia reported)
WOW!!! RM235,123.08 ?? Paid so much money only to maintain for 16 cars? Must be hidden story at the behind...

ACA (Anti-Corruption Agency) has started a probe into the alleged high costs of maintaining the 16 Proton Perdana V6 Executive cars. ACA Officers at 24th July 2008 visited the State Secretariat and State Treausury at Wisma Darul Iman here to question senior officials over the issue.Hopefully, they can really do something on it. If i'm not mistaken, I heard that ACA only has around 4% of success rate.

Today, Selangor Government is now hinting that they may choose the Toyota Camry as the official cars for its state executive councillors.Ronnie Liu (State executive councillor for Local Government, Studies and Research) said that Mentri Besar has not made a decision but he feel there won't be any objection as the Toyota Camry is much cheaper than the Mercedes.
Haha... so funny... no objection because they are going to purchase a car which is cheaper than
Mercedes that purchased by Kuala Terengganu State Gov.

However, personally i think Toyota Camry is a good car and i think the petrol consumption should be cheaper than Perdana V6.

Road Block = Traffic Jam = Waste of Petrol

This morning when I was on my way back to office as usual. Then I heard from radio said that a lot of places have road block and I thought it shouldn't be any from my way to office. However, it was so jam. Normally I only need about 45 minutes to arrive office, but today it took me about 2 hours to reach office. It was ridiculous to set road block in order to stop people for gathering.

In terms of economy, it was wasted of man power, it was wasted of time, it was wasted of money, it was wasted of petrol and it was nothing benefit to citizens. Just read online newspaper, they even claimed it was so successful to stop people gathering by setting more road block early in the morning.

In terms of politic, they should think why people want to gather and not stop people to doing it with road block. With road block it is only make all the citizens hate them even worst.

Actually it was started since end of June, in Cheras area there were road block everywhere. They were only close 3 lanes out of 4 or 2 lanes out of 3. So there was only left 1 lane for all the cars during the weekend. (Jalan Cheras) They were there only chit chatting and just past all the cars without checking.

Setting road block with a st*p*d reason: "catch criminal" and yet no car was stopped and being checked during the road block. So how they "catch criminal"?

Sushi Zanmai Again!! Haha !!

Yesterday night, we went to Mid Valley for a movie and we have about dinner at Sushi Zanmai again! Haha! We felt so satisfied after every dinner at Sushi Zanmai. We love it.
