Making Malaysia Great Again

After the announcement of RM1 Trillion debt owing to the IMF, Malaysia has taken steps to cancel some mega projects and proceed frugally with government expenses, and at the same try to encourage spending by removing GST.

A "Tabung Harapan" was launched 3 days ago (translated as (the) "Hope Fund"), to invite any willing Malaysian to contribute any amount that could help pay back some of the debt our country is riddled with. Funds may be remitted via this Maybank account numbered 5660-1062-6452 (please do check that the recipient should be named as "Tabung Harapan Malaysia" before confirming the transaction).

As a Malaysian, I honestly would like to believe that the politicians running the country this time is in it for truth, transparency, justice... and all things good (although as usual my views are too ultra-rosy and not terribly realistic). This time, for the children of Malaysia, for the citizens of Malaysia and for the future of the country we will do the right thing. Because we can and we should.

That's my take anyways. There will be opportunists here and there, but I do hope that there are more good people than opportunists this time around. Even if they merely are a simple majority or even one-third of the ruling government, I have faith that we can make something of this country of ours.
