Why grunt and grumble about the living condition in Malaysia

Hi
Cyber space is crowed with junk condemning the Malays and how the country is run

It is indeed very sad, very sad that Malaysia is such a terrible place to live in!
To keep it short, if Malaysia is such a disgusting place, then may I suggest alternative places for you immigrants to seek refuge;
China
India
Bangla maybe to suggest a few etc
 
Go back to your forefather's country of origin, I am sure it is either Indian or China.
 
In these countries and many more in Africa you will find life a bliss so why stay here and be unhappy.
 
In these countries like India and China you will find all the pleasures of life you seek!
So why stay here, and grumble when you can have the best, without;
  • I have to pay an extra RM50 for each credit card.  
  • GST (goods and services tax). Again, how does that benefit me?
  • I have to pay for security guards because the  police are hopeless.
  • I have to install filters because the water supply is dirty. 
  • I have to watch satellite tv because the government broadcasts crap.
  • Many kids have to go for tuition or to private schools because the government schools are bad.
  • We have to pay IPPs (independent power providers) because the government cannot provide consistent electricity.
  • We have to pay Indah Water to clean up the sewers. 
  • We have to pay tax on foreign cars because Mahathir wants to keep his dying local car industry alive.
  • Most have to drive because the government cannot provide good public transport.
  • We have to pay to sustain the government's affirmative action policies.
  • We have to pay for private health care because the public hospitals are crowded .
 Why do you have to put up with;
  • 1. The Bank Bumiputra twin scandals in the early 1980s saw US$1 billion (RM3.2 billion in 2008 ringgit)
    2. The Maminco attempt to corner the world tin market in the 1980s is believed to have cost some US$500 million. (RM1.6 billion)
    3. Betting in foreign exchange futures cost Bank Negara Malaysia RM30 billion in the 1990s.
    4. Perwaja Steel resulted in losses of US$800 million (RM2.56 billion). Eric Chia, was charged with corruption for allegedly steering US$20 million (RM64 million) to a Hong Kong-based company
    5. Use of RM10 billion public funds in the Valuecap Sdn. Bhd. operation to shore up the stock market
    6. Banking scandal of RM700 million losses in Bank Islam
    7. The sale of M.V. Agusta by Proton for one Euro making a loss of €75.99 million (RM 348 million)
    8. Wang Ehsan from oil royalty on Terengganu RM7.4 billion from 2004 – 2007
    9. For the past 10 years since Philharmonic Orchestra was established, this orchestra has swallowed a total of RM500 million. Hiring a kwai-lo CEO with salary of more than RM1 M per annum !!
    10. In Advisors Fees, Mahathir was paid RM180,000, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil (women and social development affairs) RM404,726 and Abdul Hamid Othman (religious) RM549,675 per annum
    11. The government has spent a total of RM3.2 billion in teaching Maths and Science in English over the past five years. Out of the amount, the government paid a whopping RM2.21 billion for the purchase of information and computer technology (ICT) equipments which it is unable to give a breakdown. Govt paid more than RM6k per notebook vs per market price of less than RM3k through some new consortiums that setup just to transact the notebook deal. There was no math & science content for the teachers and the notebooks are all with the teachers' children now.
    12. The commission paid for purchase of jets and submarines to two private companies Perimeker Sdn Bhd and IMT Defence Sdn Bhd amounted to RM910 million.
    13. RM300 million to compensate Gerbang Perdana for the RM1.1 billion “Crooked Scenic Half-Bridge”
    14. RM1.3 billion have been wasted building the white elephant Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) facilities on cancellation of the Malaysia-Singapore scenic bridge
    15. RM 100 million on renovation of Parliament building and leaks
    16. National Astronaut Programme - RM 40 million
    17. National Service Training Programme - yearly an estimate of RM 500 million
    18. Eye on Malaysia - RM 30 million and another RM5.7 million of free ticket
    19. RM 4.63 billion, ’soft-loan’ to PKFZ
    20. RM 2.4 million on indelible ink
    21. Samy announced in September 2006 that the government paid compensation amounting to RM 38.5 billion to 20 highway companies. RM 380 million windfalls for 9 toll concessionaires earned solely from the toll hike in 2008 alone.
    22.. RM32 million timber export kickbacks involving companies connected to Sarawak Chief Minister and his family.
    Bailouts –
    23.. Two bailouts of   Malaysia Airline System RM7.9 billion. At a time when MAS incurring losses every year, RM1.55 million used to buy three paintings to decorate its chairman's (Munir) office. 24. Putra transport system bailout which cost RM4.486 billion.

    32. APs scandal had been going on year-after-year going back for more than three decades, involving a total mind-boggling sum of tens of billions of ringgits.
    33. Alienation of tens of thousands of hectares of commercial lands and forestry concessions to children and relatives of BN leaders and Ministers worth tens of billions of ringgits.
    34. Travel around Malaysia and see for yourself how many white elephants like majestic arches, roads paved with fanciful bricks, designer lamp posts, clock towers, Municipal Council buildings that looks more like Istanas, extravagant places of worship, refurbishment of residences of VIPs, abandoned or under-utilised government sports complexes and buildings, etc! Combined they could easily amount to the hundreds of billions of ringgits!
    35. Since 1997, Petronas has handed out a staggering 30 billion ringgit in natural gas subsidies to IPPs who were making huge profits. In addition, there were much wastages and forward trading of Petronas oil in the 1990s based on the low price of oil then. Since the accounts of Petronas are for the eyes of Prime Minister only, we have absolutely no idea of the amount.

 
It is not enough you have been given a place to make money, study (free at that, most of the time), find peace and harmony, a roof to live under, in most case wonderful places to live in, pray in whatever way you want to, money to spend, the freedom of communication through the Internet, and a place to shit!
You want more, so the best for all, is for you to go back to where you originated from.
