他们会减税?

十月已逝,十一月莅临。全国大选的日期更近了!各政党也在鼓角齐鸣备战。选民因为有选票特别会受到候选人的垂青!但也是因为有票,候选人口齿伶俐善为说辞而令选民左右为难不知票该落谁?

竞选时间,听了在台上候选人的演讲,选民的情绪很容易波动。那些靠政治吃饭的政客似乎会让人民相信他们就是人民的英雄,人民救星,支持他胜出明天会更好。

政客靠着一张嘴儿活,他们是训练有素的骗子,专业骗子也!对他们的诺言,如果没有“听其言,观其行”详细思考,我们很容易被他们骗!很多例子可佐证他们骗话连篇,就举他们最近为了抗拒国阵政府的2018年年度财政预算案。

在他们的预算案,他们提出了种种的减税和调整人民最低每月的RM1500的薪金建议。这蜜糖甜品的建议很吸引人可说是令人响往但如深入分析,它简直就是当老百姓是笨蛋!在他们掌管的槟州和雪兰莪州的两届中,也是说从2008年2016年,不管是往日的民联政府还是现今的希盟政府,它们有否为他们属下官员包括劳力者制定最低每月的RM1500薪金?希盟政府有否调高门牌税,执照费,泊车费等等?

希盟的槟州政府为了增加收入,连水费都调高多达四次,你们想希盟执政中央,他们会减税?

Future continuous Tense Vs Future perfect tense

许多人对未来连续时态(Future continuous Tense) 和 未来完成时态(Future perfect tense)不大有把握因为这两个文法与未来有关而迷惘了。 “未来连续”是指在未来某段时间,有某个动作在进行或举行。英语说是duration持续时间。

例如 1:明天我会在在公司开会。

明天是未来,开会需一段时间来进行,所以,用英语说成: I will be having meeting tomorrow in the company.

例如 2:你跟朋友说你身体舒服,等下你会去看医生。

等下是未来,看医生需要时间,你可说:I am feeling not well and will be visiting a doctor later.

未来完成时态(Future perfect tense)是指某一个工作或动作预算在未来的某段时间完成。

例如 1:我的公司将会把这个工程在明年三月建好。

明年是未来,完成是预算中的期限。你可这样说: My company will have completed this construction by next March.

例如 2: 如果现在我们开始上路,我们可以在五点抵达他的家。

五点是未来的时间,抵达他的家是完成了的路程。英语是:If we start our journey now, we will have reached his house by 500pm.

九皇大帝圣诞期间售卖的斋饭素菜的价格

农历九月初一到初九,配合九皇大帝的圣诞,槟岛多个斗母宫寺庙张灯结彩很隆重的迎接这圣日的到来。九皇大帝的信徒们也很诚恳在这九天的庆典日子持素吃斋来对神明表达谢意和感恩神明的照顾。信徒们有的持素九天或最后三天或最后一天,就视个人的工作环境或情况。

问一问,为了方便选择在家外吃斋的信徒们,你们吃的安心吗?在路边的应时而设的斋菜素食的摊档吃后付钱时,你们是否是心甘情愿的付出摊格工作人员向你要的那个价钱呢?也许你甘也不敢说只好把怨气吞下因为有人告诉你在斋戒时作出投诉会冒犯神明,你会因此被“扣分”!与人争论是犯戒啊!你只好逆来顺受,任人鱼肉了。哦!有人说吃素时不可有争执!

是谁告诉你在斋戒时如有不平,不可投诉!这是那门的逻辑?那一门的道理?这道听途说的胡说八道根本是不经大脑!就因为我们吃斋者的逆来顺受的心态,卖斋饭素菜者,敢敢漫天开价,杀你一杯普通的饮料三令吉,一碟比平常还差的经济饭要你十五令吉!卖熟食面者不单起价还光明正大的在其档的牌子前写着:“人手不足,排队自助”。这不是双重起价吗?涨价了还要排队自己拿!难道看不出这牌子的另一个演绎就是:“生意太好,不能服务”。但有人说吃素时心中不可有怒气,不可有争执,会冒犯神明!又是有人说!

九皇大帝圣诞期间售卖的斋饭素菜几乎贵的离谱,但有人说不要紧一年一次,只要吃了平安就好。啊!又是有人说!到底是谁说?没人知道! 吃斋可是修行啊!修行提高智慧,但你付了不符合食物的质与量的价钱,是没智慧的。售卖价格便宜素食的摊口多的很,你为何跑去那漫天开价的摊口用餐呢?更糟的,你在摊口碰到友人埋怨价格时,你还安慰他说:“不要紧,一年一次嘛!” 吃了多年竟然吃不出智慧,难道找不到价格便宜的摊格吗?为何还要自找苦吃甘愿自投罗网被人宰割?为何九皇大帝的圣诞完毕,就投诉多多,难道不明白黄逾打黄盖,一个愿打,一个愿挨的操作?干嘛发牢骚?无论如何,你还是会明年再度光顾那漫天开价的摊格吧!

Flawless government ????

It is said that people living in Penang are safe. Why? The reason is one and simple because there is no traffic accident and no traffic congestion on the road.

But according the news reports, there have been fatal accidents and daily traffic congestion ? Is the assertion correct ?

Yes, the assertion of no traffic accidents and no traffic congestion is true. It is because the roads were built and designed by the previous government , therefore, the present government should not be held responsible. Additionally, vehicles are of locally made and from the BN government and even the imported cars on the roads are approved by the BN government. So it is unfair to blame the Pakatan Harapan government.

The Pakatan Harapan government has been giving all sorts of excuses whenever there are mishaps and accidents. They will never admit their mistakes so if there are fatal accidents they may twist and turn the fact by redirecting to the Federal government or previous government. They never do wrong.

槟城人最幸运!

槟城人最幸运因为槟城在希联政府的执政管理下变得很安全。这里没有车祸,没人在道路因车祸而丧命.

可不是吗? 道路是前朝政府国阵建造的,构造的,如果有车祸,该与现任的政府无关!车辆是国阵政府的产品,不是希联政府的产品,不能把车祸转于希联;如果是入口车辆发生车祸,那是国阵政府批准的进口车,也与槟城的希联政府扯不上任何关系!

槟州足球队在大马联赛中参赛的十二队伍中排名最后。 这也不能怪槟州希联政府因为足球场地是前朝政府国阵建造的,槟州足球协会也是前朝政府国阵成立的。

所以,槟城人要真正活在无前朝政府国阵的影响和影子下,只生活在希联政府的环境下,还须多年啊!

Press statement by Peter Bellew

The following are the press statement by Peter Bellew

Outgoing Malaysia Airlines Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Peter Bellew held a special press conference, yesterday (22nd Oct 2017 ) and his press conference transcript is as follows:

Thank you for joining me on a Sunday. I just wanted to clear up a few issues that have arisen over the last few days. This is a personal response and not on behalf of Malaysia Airlines corporately. I hope to answer some questions I was asked overnight.

I am incredibly grateful to my colleagues in the Malaysia Airlines family who have worked so hard with me over the last 2 ½ years. Wonderful people. Able to deal with the most difficult situations with strength and faith. Not one person I have asked over these years to give the extra effort has refused. My family and I are thankful for the welcome and hospitality we have received in our time in Malaysia. This is a wonderful country. It is with sadness that I will leave but with great hope for the future of this very special airline.

I apologize for not being able to fulfill my contract. For education and family reasons my wife and kids went Balik Kampung in July. I thought I could manage it for a year or two but I need to be with my family. I am sorry. I resigned this day two weeks ago. It was a very difficult thing to do. Really. At that time I had not signed for a new job. Khazanah and our Chairman did everything possible to get me to stay. They could not understand why I would leave.

I got an offer to return to Ryanair who have some well publicized challenges right now. This is my old family in Ireland. It is Ireland’s greatest company. I will move from being CEO to COO. They need me to help. Negaraku. That is your special word. That is how I feel. Negaraku. I have a duty to do it. When I was asked on 27th Sept would I go to Ryanair I said no. But a week later the call came and in life we can really never say never. I am looking forward to being close again to my family and friends 14 hours away in Ireland.

The news broke about Ryanair last Sunday in the UK Sunday Times. Ryanair waited until Tuesday to make a stock exchange announcement.

There have been news reports about Khazanah interference. Let me be clear. Khazanah is a Malaysian investment company linked to the Government. They have been incredibly supportive to me personally and corporately. There has been no interference. I cannot thank them enough for accelerating our transformation. Tan Sri Azman could not have been more supportive. Terima kasih Khazanah.

There have been reports that I am leaving due to political interference. That is completely untrue. The Dept of Transport have been more than helpful and Minister Liow has been extremely fair in the treatment of all airlines in Malaysia. The Dept of Tourism and Tourism Malaysia could not have done more for Malaysia Airlines in the past year and do a tremendous job globally. Minister Mustapaha from MITI is maybe the most effective Minister I have met in my lifetime. The Prime Minister has not interfered in any way. He has encouraged me at every step.

There are reports that I am leaving because of aircraft orders. That is completely untrue. 100% incorrect. Not a shred of truth in that statement. There was no political interference in MAB decision to buy Boeing or Airbus. MAB needs more widebody planes and less narrow bodies. Simple. The Chairman and I brought the MOU to the Prime Minister in Washington and he witnessed the MOU signing. It all came from MAB.

Malaysia is an amazing country. 60 years of peace. Incredible economic growth. Unique racial and religious harmony. Turn on a tap and there is clean water. Superb education. I have never seen anyone hungry. Abundant natural resources. A vibrant culture. There was some great vision from Government over the last 40 years to build Malaysia. And a leader in 1981 did some great things for his country.

But Tun Mahahtir is completely wrong. 100% wrong. No one connected with him has ever been in any contact to check. I have had no interference from anyone on anything. NO interference. I just want to Balik Kampung. Simple I am Balik Kampung. Negaraku. Back to the people I love. Simple.

I have read every book I could find on MAS. Tan Sri Aziz did a particularly good one. I have read Tun Mahathir’s biography and his books of letters. Tun Mahathir highlights in his own book his failures on MAS that led to its downfall. In fact across 200 pages in his own book he completely contradicts himself.

On page 711 he states "The company had been doing well when it was sold to Tajuddin in 1994 and his acquisition of Malaysia Airlines had been seen as a coup."

On page 533 he states "Tajuddin was elated over his purchase. He wanted to swap his Malaysian Helicopter shares for MAS shares. The Government rejected his plan and asked that he pay in cash instead, which forced him to borrow RM 1.8 billion. I do remember wondering how Tajuddin would be able to buy the airline."

But Tun Mahathir contradicts himself on page 711 of his own book saying, "He had attempted to to buy his stake in MAS through Celcom shares and he would not have had to spend a sen. In the end, however, he had to borrow a lot of money to buy the shares. Had I known this I would have put a stop to the acquisition."

In his own book on page 533 he states that he knew it was debt that was unsustainable.

Page 796 he highlights his bitterness when Tun Badawi did not appoint him as advisor to MAS. The damage goes back to 1994 and debt.

Malaysia Airlines is special. Not just an airline but one of the earliest symbols of the vibrancy of this amazing country. People who have never flown in their life love it. Most of the country hopes it will thrive and be the Pride of the Nation again. I wish Captain Izham and the Malaysia Airlines family all the best for the future.
