Comment & Analysis :: Talking Points - By Ho Kay Tat
Making every ringgit count
....Over the past five years, the government has been spending more than it was earning....
This means it has been relying more and more on borrowed money to keep it going.
....But aside from the amount of money spent, another facet to government spending that ought to receive more attention than it has been getting is the quality of the spending.
Is money being spent on the right things in a most efficient and cost-effective manner?
Are we building something merely for the sake of building so that contractors get their contracts?
This is as important as the amount of money that we pour into projects.
....Sources say that in the hurry to pump-prime the economy, the government had over the past three to four years approved too many projects.
It is understood that there are over 300 letters of intent waiting to be executed.
....While it is good that the government is trying to ensure that money is not spent on unnecessary things, it is equally important for it to take steps to ensure where money has to be spent, it is spent properly.
The Sun so far has proven to be what a newspaper should be.Tell the truth!,expose the filth! so we the malayan could be well informed on what the hell is this govt doing.I wish one day,there will be one Malay newspaper could be like that...good luck uuhh?
