After reading and listening to countless ceramahs about both PR and BN manisfesto, i thought of wanting to do my own wish list of what i hope the new ruling govt is able to achieve for a better malaysia.
1)Economy
Help to reduce the spiral cost of living, cost of house,
cost of car, cost of petrol. Especially housing, which you spend your whole
life paying for it.
Scrap the Kedai
1Malaysia, Sarapan 1 Malaysia, we don’t need government to spend money to do
something that create unfair competition to existing business owners. Instead,
we should scrap out monopoly and under table business and let the market
compete fairly and freely. Look at Digi,Maxis,Celcom competition, at the end,
benefit the customers.
If Proton and MAS cannot compete, govt should not pump money
to bail them. Let other companies that can provide good service with cheap
price do the job.
2)Public Transport
Better public transport to reduce jam, more integrated bus-lrt
route, easier access to public transport info, e.g. bus route made available on
line, on bus stop, timely bus arrival, helpful website or mobile apps.
Increase the existing cabin size of LRT and MRT or add more
trains.
3)Education System
Tamil and Chinese school should be recognized and given
appropriate govt funds. But need to ensure BM and English is mandatory subject
and also acts as a passing requirement. Should learn from each other, e.g. Chinese
School good with maths. E.g. The Chinese schools association should teach other
school how to teach better in maths. Each school can remain their own identity
but more interaction should be done also. E.g. Indian school visit Malay school
during hari raya event. Cultural exchange summer camp program etc for the youth
to learn and appreciate each other’s culture.
Free govt uni level education. Entry to uni must be passed
the merit. Ensure timely the quality of lecturers and relevance of subjects. We
must improve and move up the global education ratings. Organize internship
program for uni student so that easier for them to find employment. I think
eventually all our govt uni should use English as the teaching language. Else
our students can only compete locally, cannot compete with the world.
Scholarship given based on merit. Each time you hear news of
straight A students unable to get scholarship, you think these smart student
will work in Malaysia? We must secure local talents, then only we can continue
more to attract oversea talent. The US and Singapore is a good example , a country
that attract talent, because it is based on merit. You need good talents to run
a good country.
English for Maths and Sains. Let’s face it, how much would
you practise sains and maths in BM in workplace?
4)Educating Public
Eradicate biases knowledge->sarawakian don’t leave on
tree, Kelantan Chinese under PAS rule no place to buy pork.
Must teach public about the truth of May 13, must learn and move on,
don’t forever plague the people.
National Day parade should be celebrated at Sep16 instead of
31Aug.
Educate public on good financial habits.
4)Security and safety.
Increased salary of policeman to reduce the need of kopi-o.
Train them and equip them better so that they can have a faster response time.
Army expenditure must be justified. Too many cases of
brainless and over the top army purchase.
Add street lights where required and make sure to fix it
quickly if spoiled.
Increase police patrolling. Heavier crime punishment and
better enforcement.
Educate public on crime prevention. E.g. when going out for
house for long holiday, when walking alone in street or car park…etc
5)Orang Asli status and rural development
They too are a part of Malaysia but have been neglected from
the main stream for too long. Mainstream media only potrays Malays, Chinese,
Indian.
More rural development projects. Access to water, electricity,
school, medical, build roads, setup agriculture. This beside helping the rural
people, it also create more job opportunities, so that not everyone would need
to look for job in KL. A well-managed farmer in US can earn more salary than an
average office worker.
6) Increased oil royalties to state
The oil producing state like Terengganu, Sarawak remains among
the poorest state in Malaysia. The increased royalties must be handled properly
and declared public of its expenses, priority should be given to help the poor.
By helping the poor means teaching them to fish and providing them the fishing
equipment, not giving them the fish to eat only.
7)Environment Issues
More recycle center and bin collection, educate public,
encourage private sector on green initiative project, shut down dangerous
plant, lynas and raub, those excessive damps in Sarawak. Enforcement on illegal
logging, the fines from the illegal logging should be use to plant back more
trees.
Planting back more trees = reduce floods. To improve irrigation
system in flood prone areas. Better if can prevent, rather than bearing the cost
of the flood damages.
8) Government Admin
More transparent, show public the breakdown figures to
implement new projects. Get public feedback before proceed to any big project.
More efficient, improve govt servant speed, get rid of lazy
BN culture
More accessible, e.g. when road got hole, call,sms,email launch complain, quickly fix
it! e.g. take picture of road hole, email to local council.
All minister must declare their assets!
Say No to racism… minister that said something racist should
be suspended and fine. Take out forms that require you to fill race.
A minister must have certain qualification or job experience
in that particular field, e.g. education minister must have degree in
education, been a teacher/headmaster before etc…because in BN, we see too many minister
talking non-sense.
Should have more debate among governing and opposition. Like
the TV broadcast in USA. So that both parties policy will be brought forward to
the public and justified and also do let public ask question.
Government should find ways of not relying too much on
foreign labour. E.g. encourage usage of advance machinery in construction and
factory areas to reduce foreign labour.
All projects must be declared to public and done in stages.
E.g we cannot suddenly announce to take out all tolls. The toll staff need time
also to find jobs.
Of course, all the said above would be meaningless if we don't go to vote ourselves. so guys and girls, remember to vote!
