Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hellraiser" data-source="post: 438955" data-attributes="member: 1657">thanks for your response and your efforts in highlightening the good work that our government is doing.  all said and done, i still feel there is more that our government can do. let's not compare if other governments are also filled with corruption, nepotism and all things negative. we should set an example for the world for a clean and transparent government. other governments are also accountable and it is not surprising to see whole governments or individual ministers resign over even a small fiasco. this is something i don't see here which leaves me to think that our government is accountable but not responsible. again, this could be the culture of our local politics which can tranlate also to being minister for life. again, as a malaysian citizen, it is my wish to see malaysia a country run by the book. enough of lawatan sambil belajar...enough of bailouts...enough of PKZ scandals (surprised no one mentioned this)....enough of proton having several layers of cronism and inflating the cost of spares and the car....enough of hiring consultants which cost a bomb and the rakyat's money....enough of money politics.... lemme share some facts, imports related to GLC's and government projects must go via local MTO's (multi modal transport operators) who do not have the international network and similar to business atas angin. here, the international forwarder imports on behalf and the local MTO bills the government 100-200% (sometimes more) than the actual cost. MTO's were initially created to cut cost but the above is far from it. who losses in the end...taxpayers in my opinion. as a malaysian, i would like to see more accountability and not just lip service. as a country with much resources, the benefits should be channeled more evenly to the rakyat and not to individual group pockets. i am not happy with the current scenario because i sincerely think malaysia can do much better. maybe my expectations are high and i don't think there is anything wrong with having high expectations of our government.  and yes, cost of living in indonesia is higher. this is what happens where there is much corruption where the cost is later passed on to the rakyat. not sure about the rental bit but similar to the phillipines, indonesians pay yearly rentals in advance, not the monthly we have here. should you have any enquiries re indonesia, do let me know. cheers!</blockquote>
