After Antarctica, next study tour - Las Vegas?

YOURSAY ‘The team is going to see whether kangkung can thrive there.’

PSM queries Terengganu MB's role in Antarctica trip

Pemerhati: Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Said and the other jokers from the tropics actually want to have a holiday at the taxpayers’ expense at a cold place, which is very expensive to go to.

How ironic that the MB who commits serious environmental crimes in his state is leading a delegation for a 15-day holiday in Antarctica to pave the way for a research station to study climate change.

If Malaysia is really keen on some sort of scientific research then all it needs to do is send the scientist/s involved in the research.

Poor Citizen: Why not build a research station in Terengganu to monitor the yearly floods in the state and try to solve the flood problems. It will saves lives.

Vijay47: I have to admire the menteri besar's proactive attitude which ignorant people do not seem to understand or appreciate.

Simple - the Terengganu research team is going to Antarctica to see whether kangkung can thrive there so that the state government can set up a government-linked company (GLC) in that neck of the woods.

Then from an icy region they will make a study of agricultural activities in the desert terrain of Las Vegas, London, and Paris.

Not Smart: With the drastic effects of global climate change, Terengganu is expecting snow soon. Don't forget that Noah also built a big boat when he got the message from God of a disastrous flood. Maybe the MB could have had a dream.

If they want to go on holiday under the pretext of ‘Lawat Sambil Belajar’ scheme, choose a more realistic destination, and don't show your stupidity.

When Penang leaders visited China, there were so many public queries from MCA and Gerakan. How about this trip where there’s totally no justification on spending taxpayers monies?

Podeh: Is the grinning Ahmad Said going to enforce the ‘Allah’ ban in Antartica? PSM Youth does not understand the mission's research; if not a gala time in the Antarctic at the taxpayers’ expense, what the hell did I become a politician for?

EvenSteven: We parachuted some of our soldiers to conquer the South Pole to put Malaysia on the world map. Idiots like Roald Scott and Robert Falcon Amundsen did it the hard way by trekking. Way to go, man, LOL (laugh out loud).

Hang Babeuf: If you don't like it here, or people here don't like you much any more, migrate! Antarctica seems an excellent long-term option for all the Umno has-beens and saki-baki. A grand revival of ‘Operation Cold Storage’!

Don't be mean, let the MB have his ticket to Antarctica, one-way - as usual (but this time ungrudgingly) at the rakyat's expense.

Fair&Just: Hopefully the Antarctic takes a liking to the members in the entourage and grant them permanent residency.

Michael Ng 34f2: Do you know how expensive is a trip to the Antarctica? Just go and check with your travel agent. A really opportunistic free holiday. What an excuse!

NH Gong: Who knows, he might be able to communicate with the penguins and discover some secrets of survival in hostile waters. The talents of Umno people are unlimited, with endless possibilities.

Ontoi: This has nothing to do with research. They don't have the expertise or brains to undertake these studies.

On their return, they will google for information and the group will present it as their research paper. An already frozen brain does not work in Antarctica.

Terengganu MB to lead working visit to Antarctica

Taiji: What a joke! The roof-collapsing state is having a learning trip to Antarctica? Maybe it will be more appropriate to study how to grow kangkung on ice there.

I think it is more of a leisure trip than a learning tour. Please don’t waste our rakyat's hard-earned money.

The Reaper: Yes, please tell them how many more trees will be chopped down in Malaysia to contribute to climate change.

Ally Meme: I am sure he is going to bring back billions of US dollars in investments by the citizens of Antartica. Well done!

Anonymous #41463424: What joint research? It does not even snow in Malaysia. A pure waste of taxpayers’ monies so that they can go ‘makan angin’.

MockingYou: Negeri sendiri banjir, dia pulak gi Antarctica. Agaknya nak buat ice kat sana kut so that banjir kat sini surut.

Sodom Me Sodom You: I agree with Mocking You. In the midst of rakyat Terengganu suffering in waist-high waters, the MB and friends are going to study about snow?

What is the matter with these idiots? Our PM and wife would probably join them for a ski holiday.
