Do I Feel Empowered?



I'm not sure. Are you? The incredible ease at which I submitted by income tax returns last month left me feeling truly empowered. Like having sex, the feeling subsided after logging out off the e-Filing website. Reality struck back - the BN gov't will continue to ensure that our tax money is not well-spent and will enrich the few. The soaring cost of food and fuel, the many tolled roads, the increase in crimes, the unstoppable waste of taxpayers money, the ever churning datukship industry - I'll never feel empowered. Perhaps that's how it feels to be impotent, too.

Who will ever be held accountable and prosecuted for the over RM50 mil waste of public money on the failed e-Village project in Dengkil? Will taxpayers be able to get back the RM500 mil burnt in InventQjaya in Cyberjaya? Can MDeC answer what happened to taxpayers money in its investment arm, Meitech Development Sdn Bhd and the investments and subsidiaries such as Optica Fiber Technologies MSC Sdn Bhd, Knowledge Worker Exchange Sdn Bhd, e-commerce application service provider (ASP) GO2020.com MSC Sdn Bhd? Perhaps Datuk Arif Nun and Dr Muhammad Ghazie Ismail can explain.
