Dissolution Of Parliament For The 13th GE But Not The State Assemblies
Things are not looking good for the Prime Minister after presenting his 2011 budget. I wonder whether he walks through the budget with his consultants that prepared it or just simply read them without full understanding of it, in Parliament.
Take a look at the Prime Minister response to the great resistance of the 100-storey Warisan Merdeka tower.
Datuk Seri Najib Razak denied today that it was his idea to build the controversial 100-storey Warisan Merdeka tower in the heart of the capital, saying instead the project had been proposed by Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB).
There are so many flaws in this one sentence alone. Let me point them out to you.
a) How can he denied it when he already presented it in Parliament. It does not matter whose idea it was but as a leader he must be held responsible because he accepted it without any consultation with others. If he disagree with the proposal, why then he allocated a budget for it.
b) A project still under proposal means it has yet to be agreed or approved by the Government, so why allocate such a huge budget when the project may not be granted approval eventually. Thus, it means that the PM had accepted the proposal without consulting the public and his “People First” means nothing anymore.
c) Who owns Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB). This is what PNB is after paying a visit to it’s website:
With fund under management totaling about RM150 billion, the PNB Group is the country’s leading investment institution with a diversified portfolio of interests that include unit trusts, institution property trust, property management and asset management.
with it’s board of trustees as follows:
Chairman
YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd. Najib bin Tun Hj. Abdul Razak
Deputy Chairman
YAB Tan Sri Dato’ Haji Muhyiddin bin Mohd. Yassin
Y.B. Dato’ Mustapa bin Mohamed
Y.B. Dato’ Seri Haji Ahmad Husni bin Mohamad Hanadzlah
YABhg Tun Ahmad Sarji bin Abdul Hamid
