Open Letters To President Obama#1, #2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you just imagine how wasteful is the Najib's administration. After wasting Ringgit 77 million just to be "equals" with President Obama, now another million or so wasted on a non existing "first lady".
Sibu voters, now you understand why we, the common layman are always poor, bad infrastructures, flooding, inadequate utilities supply, schools in deplorable condition, lack of higher education opportunity, etc. all because umno is telling us the Government has no money.
Take a look at this report and see how your money was spent on Najib's

PETALING JAYA, 11 May 2010: A recent two-page spread in the New York Times, costing thousands of US dollars and featuring the prime minister's wife, was placed on behalf of the Malaysian government.
In an e-mail response to questions from The Nut Graph, the New York Times said: "The advertisement was placed by an ad agency on behalf of the Malaysian government."
The response from New York Times executive director of community affairs and media relations, Diane McNulty, reveals that the ad was not placed by private individuals, as suggested by the last line in the ad's congratulatory message.
McNulty, however, declined to disclose how much the ad cost, saying the company never discusses the cost of an individual ad as there are many variables and rates involved. These include the kind of schedule the ad purchaser has with the company, as well as the advertising category it falls within.
However, research on previous full-page ads taken out in the New York Times suggests that the cost of such advertisements ranges from US$180,000 to US$230,000. This amounts to between RM580,000 and RM740,000 for a one-page ad.
A two-page colour spread such as the one featuring Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor is expected to cost far more....
The ad welcomed Rosmah as Malaysia's "First Lady" to New York, and carried the message: "In recognition of your effort to promote peace, harmony and understanding among the people of Malaysia and your courageous acts in making a difference to the lives of people and children around the world. Malaysia is proud of you."
Full report here.
You cannot be wrong by voting PR/DAP but if you allow umno to remain in power there cannot be any bright future for Malaysia, umno will suck and spending the rakyat's money like nobody business.
PR/DAP is not 100% perfect but is surely 100% better than umno. BN exist in name only, all the component parties including SUPP are just umno's puppets without any power.
