If u’ve been following citizen nades’s collumn on the sun, u’ll probably know how much of our taxpayer’s hard-earned money has probably been flushed down “somebody’s” infinite bottomless pocket. Take for example this paragraph:
“If the National Sports Council (NSC) pays RM10 million annually for a daily sports programme over television, how much are taxpayers paying on a daily basis?
Working on 52 weeks, it costs RM192,307.69 a week or RM38,461.54 a day. Working on 25 minutes of the programme, taking away five minutes for the commercials, it cost RM1,538.46 per minute assuming the programme is aired on weekdays. So much for them dollars, but let’s talk a little bit of sense. Ask any advertising professional worth his or her salt and the answer would be: Something is not right.
Does the NSC need such a programme? What are its benefits? How many people watch the programme and in advertising jargon, how many rating points does it enjoy? Does it help enhance the standard of Malaysian sports? Who made the decision to enter into such a deal? Did thought go into this before a decision was made or was it signed so that certain quarters can benefit?
In short, they are asking: “what is your return on investment?”

If u asked the question, “10 million for what show? how come I never heard of it?” then ur on the right track wtf. The whole deal just does not make sense, spend so much of our money on a show that the general public has no idea it even existed in the first place. It definitely failed to serve as a purpose to ‘encourage’ youths to be participate in sports loh, coz we never heard of it before in the first place @*^#%!@.
And then there’s the infamous ‘send-some-kids-to-the-UK-to-be-trained-by-some-angmoh-and-become-world-class-football-players’ mumbo-jumbo. It cost us a several dozen million ringgit and the outcome is nilllllll, is our malaysian football youth team world famous after going to UK and living in a HOTEL for A FEW MONTHS, if im not mistaken they were given pocket money oso wtf. All using OUR money, the tax payer’s everyday hard earned money paid in tax to our beloved government wtf im so patriotic see wtf. Aih I won’t get into details coz it would take lots of time to backtrack and dig up old articles about these issues. But if anyone is interested in knowing more about our country’s corruption and especially public waste of funds I strongly recommend to read THIS column. Bookmark it or something lah it updates every Monday and Wednesday, not for the faint hearted wtf.
On a slightly related note, the fight for more scholarship continues, now it reached the parliament dei. Truth be told, are what they’re doing a futile attempt? Which minister would risk their position and reputation to help these potential doctors/lawyers/scientists/artists/businessmen of the future leh? Does helping these students provide them any political mileage or advantages? Don’t think so… But come to think of it, if they are now breeding a generation of students, especially those who tried to get scholarships but failed to, that have no hope or faith in our government’s ability to be equal to all races and people from different social economic background, then we’re basically breeding a new generation that will not support the current government rite? maybe that’s also one of the reason for this year’s march general election results perhaps. Young people who has been discarded by the government, are now standing up to fight for their rights by voting against the government, and in another 5 years, who knows?
Fwah so random, Imma trying to talk politics n shitz yo so plz forgive mua for the noobness in mua punya writing wtf. omg im getting more and more random better stop now i’m getting more random ideas as i type wtf.
