Malaysia's Tourism Minister is again in a news. This time, spending a cool RM1.8 million upon 6 Facebook pages to foster tourism. The webpage designer must be an overnight millionaire.So blatant is a discrepany which even her colleagues in BN smelt blood as good as rushed to take advantage of her mishap. UMNO leaders, in particular, went for her. Sad to say, it appears which if you have been from MCA - as prolonged as not from UMNO - you have been game.
But if your name is Rosmah, not a trill or a cheep will come out from these macho men including Nazri Aziz, a apportion in a Prime Minister Najib Razak's Department.
Corruption Fighters as good as Defenders of Public Expenditure
It never fails to amaze Malaysians how twisted a UMNO fairness-measurement index is. Assuming which it even has one, which is. But it seems which some people can never be guilty - until as good as unless they fall from grace as good as can no longer strengthen themselves. Then a vultures will swoopi in. Such is a culture in a BN, generally trainer UMNO.
So it came as no warn when Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin rushed in to get his piece of cake, so to speak. He told reporters upon Thursday which a Cabinet would seek an reason from a hapless Yen Yen over a expenditure. Ominously, he warned which if a tourism ministers reason was not satisfactory, a government competence examine a matter.
I consider a Cabinet will ask for a finish inform from a (tourism) apportion tomorrow as good as she can insist a basement of a expenditure. The reason has already been since in Parliament but if people have b! een paya ble afterwards we! can ask for a minute report. We have zero to hide generally when it involves open expenditure, Muhyiddin told reporters.
Strange which he did not notice Yen Yen had clarified a RM1.8 million was for a full social media campaign as good as not for a 6 Facebook pages. Normally, they do try to defend any alternative a bit, but perhaps Muhyiddin as good as UMNO have changed tack as good as right away see themselves as Corrupton Fighters.
Whichever, a many interesting indicate a DPM referred to as good as should not be allowed to forget is that, "We have zero to hide generally when it involves open expenditure.
Surely then, Najib as good as wife Rosmah must be a initial to be grilled upon this "public expenditure". Was open income used in their recent Kazakhstan outing which includes a 200-strong entourage. Were there additionally personal guest amongst a environment specifically flown in upon open output to attend a 22-year aged Nooryana's engagement party?
Why a stand in standards? How to be Corruption Fighters when there have been stand in standards? Obviously, Muhyiddin as good as UMNO have still many to learn prior to they can talk about clarity as good as probity with conviction.
In prohibited soup
Meanwhile, Yen Yen must be carrying excited days. She may have laughed during a DAP as good as felt contemptible for them. But maybe now, they have been laughing back during her, contemptible to say. Initially, the headlines was a pages were developed during a cost of RM300,000 apiece, which barely takes an experienced web designer about a full day, if since all a right images, report as good as peep videos. To date, a Facebook page has about 31,000 fans. The stipulate was since to Impact Creations Sdn Bhd with a upkeep package of dual years.
How many does it cost to capture fans to your Facebook? Harakahdaily - launched a Facebook page ! final ye ar but spending a single cent, as good as currently it boasts a pool of some-more than 170,000 fans flourishing by a hour.

Rasa h MP Anthony Loke as good as Tangga Batu MP Idris Haron had demanded which a Tourism apportion clear a cost, as good as asked for a minute breakdown. It seems a stipulate included beautiful design, layout, peep programming, coding, testing, debugging, uploading, rising of application, complement server deployment, maintenance, growth of database from contests, campaign government as good as monitoring, as good as online advertisement as good as fans recruitment.
Facebook is giveaway to a public. Anyone can develop a page or pages in Facebook. One can additionally publicize for free. Literally, any a single can utilise a hundred pages or some-more in Facebook to publicize their products giveaway of charge. A simple Facebook page takes as little as 15minutes to complete.
Why would any a single wants to compensate RM1.8million for 6 pages? It would substantially go down in story as a many costly web pattern in Facebook. Currently Facebook has around 600 million users. The service, which is provided free, generates a income out of online advertisements upon a user pages.
The six Facebook pages have been Cuti-Cuti 1 Malaysia, Citrawarna 1Malaysia, Karnival Jualan Mega 1 Malaysia, Kempen 1Malaysia Bersih, Fabulous Food 1 Malaysia as good as Festival Pelancongan Seni Kontemporari 1 Malaysia.
RM1.8mil? Let us help
Anthony pronounced it was strange which a Tourism ministry had no a single who could conduct a Facebook page as good as had to resort to appointing a company for such an unreasonable amount. Rembau MP Khairy Jamaludin additionally lent his voice to a criticism, saying which he has 2,013 fans who 'like' his page as good as a pattern is zero fancy, as good as uses a same template.
You need RM1.8 million to run Facebook pages as good as ap! plicatio ns? A six-year-old can begin a Facebook page," a dumbfounded Loke told reporters. "If Datuk Seri Ng Yen Yen has problems removing people to assistance begin Facebook pages, DAP headquarters can assistance her out, you have people who can develop the! se thing s during no cost."
Yen Yens reply was to ridicule DAP, accusing it of being stuck in an antithesis genius as good as "always twisting" a contribution as good as telling lies about a BN.
Anthony was not amused. He vowed to board a inform with a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission if Yen Yen could not offer a minute explanation.
Specialist not generalistAt 65, Yen Yen is no open duck although her looks confute her age. She is additionally no bimbo as good as was a tip tyro from Kuala Lumpur's important Victoria Institution. Her dad wanted to marry her off during 17 but her silent took her side as good as a rest is history. Starting off with a Bachelor of Medicine as good as Bachelor of Surgery or MBBS from a University of Malaya, a Kelantanese lass of prolonged ago solemnly wound her way in to a grand lady of MCA politics.
She is often targeted by antithesis lawmakers, who subject her for her legendary spending sprees which includes a Shanghai Expo Pavilion as good as allegations which Tourism contracts were since to companies linked to her family members. Also in focus have been her high travelling expenses as good as costly but null as good as void campaigns during international debate exhibitions.
Even her former celebration boss, ex-MCA president Ong Tee Keat had demanded which she insist her travelling costs. During a period 2009 to 2010, Yen Yen had racked up travelling expenses of RM3.25 million for 1! 6 abroad visits. That averages out to be around RM200,000 per visit for very short as good as frequently overnight stays only.
She additionally took offense during being marked down a "tourist minister" rather than a Tourism apportion and arguing which her critics could not hope to assimilate her since she was a "specialist" whilst they were "ge! neralist s.
Really, it does not go down good with a public, at a time when a country is confronting subsidy cuts, as good as a cost of living is sharpened sky-high. Electricity as good as water-bills have been additionally sharpened by a roof, as good as you have a Minister allegedly spending which kind of pornographic amount for 6 Facebook pages which many people have been able to build upon their own for free. At RM10,000 a page, it would have been obscene, not to mention RM300,000 a page. That smells downright fishy.
But it is even some-more infamous if a integrate as rich as good as wealthy as a Malaysian initial integrate did unequivocally attend their daughter's engagement celebration using taxpayers money. Not usually would which make them guilty of abuse of power, crime as good as graft, but good as good as truly honourable of being laughed during as being "cheapskate", "freeloaders" as good as "no class" as they were accused of when a headlines initial broke out early final week.
