Bajet

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

So everyone has got their own say on the 2012 Budget presented yesterday in the Parliament. In any budget presented by any respective government of the day, there will be good and bad points.

So whatever that is deemed to be right, nobody should condemn it, just because they are on the opposite party. Vice versa, the ones on the same boat ought to not be a yes man, so that the boss will be pleased with his actions.

I have yet to analyse experts' reviews on this matter, and so many have you too.

So how do you tell whether this a good or a bad one?

One has to compliment the liberalisation of the government sectors. Pay rise, no new tax and this and that, we are thankful to God and the government.

What many find as troubling is the number of one-off packages. Scary. Do we actually have the means to implement this?

Do we always need to give the fish, rather them teaching how to fish?

If this RM500 is finished, are we back to square one, complaining that cost of living is very high? If there was to be another course of war in Iraq, will the people be denied the right to complain the rise is petrol price?

While I am thankful for the goodies, I cannot help but think that this is an Election Budget. My prediction is middle of next year, a couple of months after all of these goodies have been distributed.

Fingers crossed, but I think my prediction could be right.

Till next time lads,
assalamualaikum
