Me and my raving thoughts again.

You know when I hear the about all these politicians going back and forth doing their damnest to stay in power I get the terrible feeling that they are not doing anything for the people except focusing only on staying in power!

I'm just curious here, the Human Resources Minster says there are plenty of jobs available.
Where are these jobs available at sir?

Lets just take an example, in senawang there are many factories. Many of which are affected by the economic down turn.

Many are cutting no of working days and even workers are going. So far I do not see any jobs available for these newly retrenched employees.

Are the jobs available I KL? Shah Alam? Nilai? Ok let's just say Nilai has jobs available.
There retrenched workers many are operators holding salaries of RM500 monthly to RM600
These people are mainly from around Senawang area they take these low paying jobs because they live close by it's easier and cost effective to get to work.

Now suddenly they may need to get a job in Nilai that pays may be RM500 a month and they get the extra expenditure of additional transport cost.

Is it better to take this job or not?

I am just wondering because the RM500 a month has to cover petrol/ transportation cost (I can bet you they will use their own transport because public transport it totally screwed up and if they want to keep their new job they will need to be on time to work!) house rent / home loan payments, electric bills, phone bills, kids expenses then food and the RM 500 will be reduced due to EPF & SOCSO which I do not recommend cutting down.

So do you think the money they earn is enough when it was never enough in the 1st place?
You know what I think will happen? I think they will run into debt because they will be unable to pull through the whole month!

Now I know people will say it's easy to talk and complaint only.

Well I have a suggestion for the government:
Here goes: Start paying the retrenched workers a monthly allowance until they get reasonable jobs. Take on their house rent / home loan payments so they do not fear having no home to live in. Give the people free electricity & water so the people do not live in darkness when the electricity is cut because they do not have income to pay the bill (at least until times get better). there's more suggestions but I'll just leave it at that 1st.

You see I hear lots of talks about this stimulus package and that stimulus package in the millions! And all your stupid games of cat and mouse with the oppositions are extremely childish during these tough times when the people are suffering! I have no trust that your 'Stimulus packages' will do anything for me!And I'm quite sure most of it will go into some peoples' already big fat pockets! To make it bigger & fatter.

You want to govern us? Well, governing also means supervising. Supervision also mean care. So, go do your real job and take care of the people!

p/s And I don't give a damn if you are BN, UMNO, DAP, Pakatan, Pas, Keadilan either these is what I think of all of you right now! You all need to focus on the most important thing right now and it's not your posistions! Your positions will be fine if you do your job by the people!
