Let them share your pain.<BR/>It pains me too to see such financial raping; yet in today's headlines a family of 5 perished in a fire resulting from their inability to pay for electricity.

Port Klang further awarded Kuala Dimensi to build 2ooo lots of covered car parks, a 4 star hotel and office building at a area where nobody is working.A road was build to connect to West Port at an inflated price of over $3oo million. All these led from an overpriced land of $1 bill to the cost balloning to $4.6 billion ringgit. Surely the chieftains at port klang and Ministry of Transport has a lot to answer. <BR/>What saddens us is $4.6 billion fiasco is not carried in the main papers but bloggers being condemned captures the headline.<BR/>I am not pissed Captain, but I am sad and I cry for my country. This is what we got to show after 50 years of independence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986492775396304922.post-90266528180723805602007-07-26T23:06:00.000+08:002007-07-26T23:06:00.000+08:00zorro:anon:many thanks for the feedback.zorro:<BR/><BR/>anon:<BR/><BR/>many thanks for the feedback.The Ancient Marinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577426604578337113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986492775396304922.post-11872341585633976952007-07-26T22:01:00.000+08:002007-07-26T22:01:00.000+08:00Captain, your post on this suject with more detail...Captain, your post on this suject with more details is in the Sun paper today 26 August pg 25.

Port Klang then gave the same company, Kuala Dimensi, contract to developed the land. The total contract given without tender is worth 3.6 billion given out to the same company Kuala Dimensi. The project is now a failure and the goverment has to pay back the loan taken by port klang without goverment approval in the first place.In other words we the public are paying $ 4.6 billion ringgit whilst people in Port Klang and Ministry of Transport can now retire happily ever after.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986492775396304922.post-24945326791416275772007-07-25T15:20:00.000+08:002007-07-25T15:20:00.000+08:00Hi Tony:Mat Salo:Daylight robbery involving local ...Hi Tony:<BR/><BR/>Mat Salo:<BR/><BR/>Daylight robbery involving local politicians, I believe.
