Tis The Season To Pukul Habis?
By Syed Akbar Ali
Someone said that the Premiership of Dato Najib could also turn out to be a 'zaman pukul habis’. I will explain this at the end of this article. First here is something from Tun Dr Mahathir.
Tun Dr Mahathir is stirring up a real can of worms over at his Blog. Please read it here. I will reproduce the first part of what he has written.
Where has the money gone to?
"I reproduce here the payments made by Petronas to the Federal Government since 1976. That year the Government received RM300 million. The amount increased to RM2 billion in 1981. By 2003 it paid RM15.6 billion to the Federal Government.
The total from 1981 to 2003 is RM168.8 billion in 22 years.
From then onwards it increased from RM19 billion in 2004 to RM67.8 billion in 2009. The total for six years is RM253.6 billion.
I am sure the Government had spent the money wisely. It would be interesting to know what the RM253.6 billion was spent on."
