of the palace & parliament..

salam.

can anyone tell me why they (read: ubn) are building a new palace? and the cost has doubled too. it's now +-rm800,000,000 to build the palace. what's the rationale, actually? the construction is on-going at the moment.
the new parliament building, supposedly to be located in Putrajaya, is more or less the same amount. which means they are spending at least RM1.5 billion to build two buildings . the irony of it all is that it is the people money they are using to foot the bill but we, the masses, are not allowed access to either one. ridiculous, don't you think so?
to make matter worse, they said yesterday that they have to cancel the scholarship for students who wish to do their masters program overseas due to financial constraint.
what shit are they talking about? at one end, you spend so much money for the sake of a few selected people but on the other end you cannot even allocate a meagre sum for the betterment of the younger and future generation.

simply put, (to me, la!) they are trying to con the masses in broad daylight, with the assumption that the masses are a bunch of stupid assholes, and can be fooled everytime and anytime.

guess they are digging their own grave come the next GE. insyaAllah.
