Muhyiddin has asked us to ignore the PERC report, calling it a nonsence. Interestingly the government has to shoulder a burden of proof that we are not falling into instability or fast becoming a butt of joke.
1) We bought buses are not road worthy. The operator of RapidKL spent RM93 million to buy over 1,294 used buses from two bus companies in 2003, only to have most of them consigned to the scrap heap two years later. Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd bought the buses from DRB-Hicom and Park May Bhd in 2003 but 1,139 of the buses were deemed unfit for operations and were de-commissioned in November 2005. No wonder the hype about improving public transport in Klang Valley.
2) We bought fighter jets which had killed more pilots on training than on combat missions.
3) We established public institutions which cannot understand the concept of separation of power and public integrity.
4) We bought naval ships which will never be allowed to sail.
5) Now, we bought a submarine which cannot dive. Malaysia’s first submarine, a European-made Scorpene delivered last September, has developed problems that make it unfit for diving, Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said today. The KD Tunku Abdul Rahman sailed into a grand reception last year as the first of two commissioned from French contractor DCNS and Spain’s Navantia for a total of 3.4 billion ringgit.
Muhyiddin needs a lesson on Malaysia. Care to help educating him on our failings?
