Where Does The Buck Stop?




  • KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak hopes telcos can recur a preference to levy a 6% assign upon prepaid mobile users. . . He pronounced he received a lot of reactions from a public as good as a preference was an without a friend one. . . He pronounced a preference to levy a taxation was not done by a Finance Ministry.
.

The preference to levy a 6% taxation assign was not done by a Finance Ministry. Ok. But a Telcos have been a highly regulated industry. Somewhere along a line, a preference was still done by a Government of Malaysia. Which Ministry is in assign of a Telcos? Isnt it a Ministry of Information, Communications as good as Culture? Why didnt a Ministry of Information as good as Communications hoop this matter in a some-more efficient manner? Please stop flitting a buck. Asyik categorical tai chi saja.

.

Lately, a Government keeps creation (in this box allowing) without a friend or ill thought decisions. Then when a things hits a fan, a Government behind pedals aka flip flop. This is unequivocally not good for a Government's image. What happened to Pemudah, Pemandu or whoever? Hisap candu ke? This miss of correct Government routine creates hundreds of thousands of people angry. Maybe this is unequivocally a desired outcome. Make a people indignant so which a Government becomes unpopular. Musuh sudah masuk dalam selimut. Kita masih tidur lagi.

.

Now i! f this 6 % assign is postponed or cancelled, a Telcos have been starting to be dissapoint as well. (I goal a Government does not have to sensitively "reimburse" a Telcos for a detriment of income from this 6% surcharge - using a taxpayers money. That will become an additional scandal.)

.

Last week there was an additional serious flip wave by a Government. Here is a news :


  • School train operators call off planned strike

  • GEORGE TOWN: The Federation of Malaysian School Bus Drivers Association has called off a nationwide set upon which was set for this week after a Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) allowed them to have use of buses aged 30 years or more.

  • SPAD has extended a period. The routine to have these vehicles taken off a roads will only take effect in 2013, he pronounced yesterday.
.

So come 2013 you have been starting to have 32 year aged propagandize buses upon a roads? you agree you cannot have 32 year aged schoolbuses upon a roads. But isnt there a some-more practical as good as workable method to solve this problem? First you threaten a train owners. Then they threaten back. Their threats have been some-more genuine (they have some-more muscle) since if they cannot equates to to get brand brand brand brand new buses inside of a set time frame, it equates to they wouldnt get brand brand brand brand new buses. Its as simple as that. So they would rather go upon set upon since they do not have anything to remove anyway. (Old train tak boleh pakai, brand brand brand brand new train canno! t afford . So to go upon set upon is a 'no loss' option for them).

.

So a Government says 'Ok you will carry over this for an additional dual ! years'. Another flip flop. And in a routine youhave done thousands of propagandize train operators angry. You have hundreds of thousands of parents anxious as good as indignant too. Then you flip wave - ok lah, kita carry over lagi dua tahun.

.

Why didnt a Government unequivocally sit down as good as speak to a train drivers? Surely they would have voiced an opinion as good as a Government could have explained things improved as good as additionally implemented this preference much better. Dont speak down to people lah. If you ada otak, afterwards to an extent, you can speak down to people - they wouldnt mind so much. But when you yourself have been so blur, dont know what to do, afterwards please dont speak down to people. Talk to them. Ask a people 'This is a genuine problem. So what do you think?' What do you suggest?'

.

Unfortunately, by a time a Government flip flopped, they already done thousands of propagandize train drivers angry. Its as well late. Do you think they have been starting to vote for you as well?

.

Prior to which a Government messed up a Hire Purchase Act. For dual months a sales of cars fell by a floor. Used automobile dealers close down - some henceforth - since a Government imposed a brand brand brand brand new amended Hire Purchase Act. Sales of used cars additionally start sales of brand brand brand brand new cars. When people cannot sell their aged cars, they wouldnt buy brand brand brand brand new ones. Proton suffered outrageous losses too.

.

So after formulating chaos for dual months, a Government backpedalled again. They had to carry over a doing of a amended Hire Purchase Act. Here is aged news:

.


SHAH ALAM: Certain aspects of a doing of a Hire Purchase Act (Amendment 2010), which came into effect final month, will be looked during again.

Domestic Trade, Co-operatives as good as Consumerism Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob pronounced Thursday among a issues which could be reviewed was a order for a offered celebration of a used car to compensate RM90 for a car inspection imposed by Puspakom Sdn Bhd, prior to a car could be sold

.

The 6% assign by a Telcos will have a few million mobile phone users upset. The propagandize train failure done thousands of train operators as good as hundreds of thousands of parents upset. The Hire Purchase Act failure done hundreds of thousands upset.

.

Not to be left out a Government (in this box a same Ministry of Information) additionally done a reporters as good as Bloggers dissapoint by perplexing to flesh by a Media Council. This many without a friend Media Council thought was written to 'control' a Alternative Media. Thats us a Bloggers.

.

When there was a fuss, it was changed to a "Media Consultative Council". Finally after a exhilarated meeting, this thought ! as well has been shelved. Another flip wave by a Government - though not after creation reporters as good as Bloggers questionable as good as dissapoint with a Government.

.

Saya nak tanya sikit : which part of Charles Bronson's "Death Wish" dont you folks understand? Pasal apa Kerajaan kita suka sangat nak bunuh diri?

.

Here is a picture of President Harry Truman of a United States. Truman was important for saying'The Buck Stops Here'. He had a sign sitting upon his list (you can see it in a picture) which pronounced exactly which 'The Buck Stops Here'.

.



In a aged American Wild West, people used to lie during personification poker. To cut down upon a cheating, all a gin rummy players in a game would take turns to deal out a cards (and not only a single person). They would place a blade whose hoop was done of 'buck bone" (deer antlers) as a 'marker' in front of a player whose turn was subsequent to deal a cards. (If he cheated maybe they stabbed him with a knife?). This was called 'passing a buck'. Later, this "buck handled" blade was replaced by a American china dollar. Hence a American dollar became well known as 'the buck'. To! day even in Malaysia you contend 'ten bucks' or 'twenty bucks'.

.

Later 'passing a buck' came to mean something else - refusing to take shortcoming over something. In local Malay-Chinese "tai chi". Or to blame someone else for one's own shortcomings. When someone is 'passing a buck' it equates to he does not want to take a responsibility.

.

This is where Harry Truman done a difference. As a President as good as CEO of a nation, he said'The Buck Stops Here'. Meaning - a complete republic is his responsibility. He wouldnt be "passing a buck". We can discuss if Truman unequivocally delivered upon this guarantee or not. But for certain he done a strong statement, which put his complete Government machinery upon a toes. The sire stops with a Government.


In a country, where does a sire stop? Or does it keep galloping away?
