Aisehman,

Some people are better off just remaining quiet. the moment they open their mouth, they are just confirming their own stupidity. In Vellu's case, it's mere "duhh"ism... Katak di bawah tempurung, or better still, katak di bawah rambut palsu...

Hello Sami Vellu, why are you so extremely STUPID? Are you Form 3 material or what???

Pak Lah should do us all a favour and remove such Form 3 Ministers... Really, apart from his ganster tactics, I don't see Vellu having any real brains...

Can Stupid Vellu put a cut-off date that the govt WILL NOT collect anymore toll?

Duhh!!! Samy Vellu, shut the duck up, you are looking absolutely stupid everyday!

Our Samy Vellu wants to increase his bank balance - what else to do with the growing rate of inflation? He wants to save not only for his grand children but also for his great great grand children.

Samy Vellu-like intelligence? Oxymoron, if I ever heard one....an ox of a moron, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

If Samy Vellu is "tolol", what are you gonna call the people who put him there i.e. MIC members and Sungai Siput voters?

Like it or not we the rakyat must share the blame of putting idiots as our leaders. Worse is putting idiots as leaders to screw us the Rakyat!!!

Aiyooo... No... No... No...

Mr Samy Vellu is only a worker, makan gaji. cannot blame him ma... he is like a dog barking for his boss ma... where got fair blaming him ma.

of course lah a dog will bark at stupid people ma, in this case the people that chosen the gomen ma...

same stupid people also chosen the sleepy leader ma...

they the gomen ministers and big boss know that people are stupid ma... that is why they imposed high high toll charges ma... to wallop people money the easy way....ma..

so, itu australian journalist kata 'malaysia bodoh' got truth also ma....

so we all bodoh lah.... deserve bodoh big boss, so good lah...

yeah lah huhh!

Why is nobody asking SV to disclose the traffic projections for each and every one of these tolled highways at the outset?

This factor alone may clarify how much to charge and/or for how long.

As it is, these pay-as-you-go expressways are like shooting-fish-in-barrel monopolies sanctioned by our very own government.

Every time there is an increase, SV's standard birdbrained excuses are:-
a)to reduce the toll subsidy whilst quoting enormously hugh numbers that the government have to compensate the concessionaires.
b)our toll rates are the lowest in the region (yeah, right! Wanna apply the Macdonald index?).
and,
c)motorists have alternative 'free' routes (which I seriously doubt in some cases).

Any 'junior' minister can do this but SV, being who he is, feels that he can explain it better. Come to think of it, a parrot will be a welcome change. At least, if we call it 'bird-brain', it will be appropriate.

Perhaps, it is true that when your hair goes, so does your grey matter. And a toupee is a poor substitute for intelligence or virility or both.

Now, if somehow a bald parrot takes on SV in the next GE, it will definitely be a no-brainer. Umno will save a lot with just crackers and water.

If we look at this rationally (which means, most of Malaysia is excluded), tolled roads are not unusual. What is unusual is how "they" are selling the virtues of it to us. Singapore has tolled roads too, but it is used to control traffic. The Government builds the roads for all citizens to use, plus alternatives like good public transport if you don't want to pay toll. I can't quite say the same for us here.

Aren't Governments voted in to provide infrastructure such as roads to its citizens? In the past, we pay road tax for the right to use these roads. But of course, things have changed. The Government now outsources that obligation to a commercial entity, so using roads - a right which a citizen voted the Government in for - is now a business transaction. The marketing spiel? Well, the Government can't afford to build these fancy highways/roads and therefore if you want nice infrastructure in Malaysia, you pay a toll. The Government even outsourced their public transport system - which failed and had to be bailed out by, none other than the Government itself.

So my question is this. In order to achieve Vision 2020, does that mean the Government's greatest contribution is to "outsource" all these infrastructure development because they can't afford to do it themselves, but can afford to bail out if needed? And the cleverest thing a Government must do now, it seems, is to package the right words to use to the press so that we the citizens buy it?

At the rate we are going, our Government will soon become a "virtual" Government. Every responsibility of good governance and actual development is outsourced and they own nothing - but the right to turn on or off the tap. Let me guess, how soon before our dear Minister is none other than the hidden CEO of one of those commercial entities? Smells of Thaksinomics.

Aisehman, demo oge Kelante ko?

I cannot understand what Samy and others are talking about.The"Government" has to pay compensation to the highway operators and it is increasing the toll rates so that "the people" can share in the burden.Samy and his like talks as though "They" are the the "Government", doing the people a favour by the susidy paid.Dear Samy whether the "government"pay or the people pay, it is the tax payers money, the Government and the people one and the same. The funds are not the Ministers forking out of their pockets and from their inheritance. Please stop talking stupid and "think" whether there a way out of the idiotic agreements signed, thought out by people in the governmentwhose brains are located at their hindside.
Here is a solution,NATIONALISE" all such projects, highways, ipps etc etc and run them as State owned entities, unless the intention is to rob the people of the country to make a few cronies rich by continuing the present agreements with its onesided benefits.

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysians should embrace a charitable mindset and lend a helping hand to the poor at all times, not just during festive seasons, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said yesterday.

When you give higher toll rates, you help the government in collecting more funds. The people with cars, they can afford. You do not need to worry. When you pay higher water bill and electricity bill, it helps the government. When you agree to petroleum price hike and the removal of petroleum subsidy, you allow more funds to get into my pocket... oopps that was a mistake, please do not quote that reporters.

You see when we collect more money from the citizens, we have more funds to put into the 9th Malaysian Plan. That is the difference between me and my former mentor, the former premier. I ensure that we have more funds to do projects. In the end, the projects benefit me and my family. Oh, I mean the projects benefit the UMNO politicians... oh someone must be putting jampi on me. That is why we need to continue make use of the NEP to help the Bumiputera and continue to collect more funds from the people. The people are rich. They can afford another 30 cents to RM1 twice a day. Sedikit sedikit, lama lama jadi bukit. Hohohoho. This will be a merry christmas for me.
