The highway toll hike announced recently would surely further burden the rakyat and further enrich the highway concessionaires. It is common knowledge that the agreements with most of the highway concessionaires are grossly one-sided and given without due tender and mostly to cronies of the government. A cursory study of the personalities involved in these companies would prove their close connections with certain strong personalities in the government.

I am indeed disturbed reading various reports on China’s Ambassador to Malaysia Huang Huikang on his recent visit to Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur and his speech made there.

COMMENT No country in the world calling itself a democracy uses all government facilities and institutions to blatantly campaign for it in elections.
