Words condensed in "Ifs"


Points To Points (15)
                             Words condensed in “Ifs”

          What a irrational hike it is!  Imagine 4 times hiking in 14 months.  No wonder, it has triggered our pent-up anger and frustration into screams, shouts, shrieks, shrills, squeaks and squeals.  But these screams, shouts, shrieks, shrills, squeaks and squeals have condensed now into the conditions “Ifs”.
          If so as you said, this 4.4 billion of money saved from oil subsidy every year will be used to improve the road system and other structures, we, people will definitely appreciate and feel grateful for the work done.  But please remember Sarawak, the oil producing state.  Besides, improving the road system and infrastructures, do endow ‘teeny-weeny privilege’ to us being an oil producing state.  Remember don’t let the problem of shortage of oil to repeat in the oil-producing state, Sarawak again.
 Don’t make me pin-point to you an analogy about a cow being reared in place A but milk is ‘harvested’ to feed those in Place B again and again.  The scenario of oil matter just conjures this analogy naturally in the mind of every rational Sarawakians, of course, with the exceptions of some.
          If so as you said, this 4.4 billion of money saved from oil subsidy will be well-spent, please keep accountability of this money.  Make sure that you are not tempted to fill the bottom pit of those spoilt rotten industries like Malaysian Airline System, ailing national car industry and many and many irresponsible and wasteful government agencies. 
Teaching the ethics of independence is to make them learn the ‘virtue of responsibility‘ and follow the ‘law of accountability’.  Hence transparency in governance is a must to prevent yourselves from falling prey to your own weaknesses.  Let there be no more chance for the heads to become indulgent and lustful in management and their lives.  Let us poke at and check on you regularly.  Remind yourselves that it is “the government of the poeple, for the people and by the people” (the basic principles of democracy).  Adhere to the rules strictly to ensure the proper running of the government. 
          If so as you said, this 4.4 billions of money saved from oil subsidy every year will be well-spent, make sure that you really “practise as you preach”.  Just to remind you our education system needs enough investment to develop our human resources that are vested with the power to bring prosperity or downfall of our nation. 
On behalf of the people in Sibu, Sarawak, I plead for a university spacious, well-staffed and well- administered  enough to make us feel proud through and through.  Don’t make us feel envy of those universities with big big campus in Australia, New Zealand and even some of universities in Taiwan which are just too marvellous to describe.  I don’t know how hundred hectares the university of Tong Hai in Taiwan occupies.  Oh dear!  We want a university of that standard in Sibu. 
We, Sibuans have paid so much tax from the number of the trees we cut down for years and years and we should have accrued enough wealth for a university of international standard.   Don’t ever lavish our money on luxurious and unnecessary structures that may look appealing and stimulating but serve not much purpose for the general well-being and welfare of our people.  Please help us to save ‘cash-flow’ for education in other places (at least 88 million) (Correct me if i am wrong ) from Sibu.
          If so as you said, this 4.4 billions of money saved from oil subsidy every year will be well-spent,  we shall feel comforted and relieved.  However,  do exercise some check on the oil companies for indiscriminate exploiting and plundering and lustful for spilling full of profit.  Then, they indulge the money in sponsoring such luxurious pastime like Formula 1 car racing.  Alamat!  What a curse!  What a shame!  Don’t squander our resources for superb standard of and luxurious life for some.  Strive to ensure the substainable development.  How long do you think people can endure the indulgence and lust of the few rich at the expense of the poor?  Convey the survey to find out how wasteful, lustful, indulgent and exploitative these rich people are. 
          If so as you said, this 4.4 billions of money saved every year will be well-spent, good, good, good.  However, the hike in oil price results in downturn effect of prices of other things go a ‘hiking’ too, please accept the conditions as natural as you said that oil in the world market rises and so definitely our country needs to increase the price of the oil.  Therefore, what a fuss you make when the business operators of all kinds want a hike, too.  You allow the oil companies full monopoly of price rise at their will and why and why and many thousand whys the rest of the business operators are suppressed for some price increase, too. 
          You always allow conglomerates to manipulate the prices at free-will but you suppress the small and medium business operators for the slight increase of the price or fee to sustain their operation.  It is too authoritative and dominating for fair-play of the game.  The price of houses is increasing all the time.  The oil companies are earning to the bursting and bursting full.  Yet the bus companies or school bus operators only seek for a minimum increase of fee, you fuss and fume, fume and fuss to suppress them.  What kind of economic policy is this?  I think we need to make a study of this,  if possible to review it with more developed countries like Singapore, Hong KongAustralia, Japan, England and the like to seek some justification.
          If it is natural for the hike in oil price, it is even more natural for the rest of businesses to increase the price.  The oil companies always earning to the spilling still lust for the bursting profit and what do you fume for small and medium business operator to maintain a standard of profit? 
          The word “If” is a conditional word to ponder with wisdom.  The condensed word “if” either blossom into words of appreciation and gratitude or burst like an nuclear bomb as a result of desperation.  The consequences of the negative impact is just too overwhelmingly diestructive beyond any imagination.  In other words, the angry, frustrated and desperate people are prepared for the worst.  When death is no longer a threat, what can really hold them back?
          If so as you said, 4.4 billions of money saved every year will be used for development, don’t forget to improve the medical service in our country so that any illnesses that our ministers and their loved ones and the rich people contract do not have to travel long distance to other countries with advanced medical facilities for treatment.  In this way, we can prevent cash-flow to other countries and a loss of our foreign currency.  Hence, build and set up the high standard of medical service reachable for every citizen in this country. 
          If so as you said, 4.4 billions of money saved every year can be channelled for more useful development, do take care of the poor and helpless.  Help them to help themselves gradually.
          To conclude my viewpoint, my last advice is be fair to every living soul in this country.  If God means “Love and Justice”, check if the practices are well-done for God’s sake.  We people want decent living conditions and an appropriate standard of living.  Though you may say, “Human desires know no bound.”,  the overall people know their bounds and means of survival in this material and technological oriented environment.  We people don’t want the scenario of protest and hatred in our neighbouring countries like the Philippines, Indonesia and now Thailand  to ‘brew’ here.  We hate disharmony and disruption of any kind as we don’t want to get hurt in any manner.  To end my point, I recommend you a book “A Tale of Two Cities” to enjoy and the history of French revolution to recall.  “To protect the rich and bully the poor” will have very terrible consequences to face sooner or later.  Don’t view my words threatening in any way and don’t categorise me as a “terrorist” because I am so open and straightforward to let you know the truth of the truths as I can’t suppress myself not to tell the truth.  (If i am wrong, please correct me.)   We,  simple and ordinary people, quest for a happy, meaningful and fulfilling life but we need the means and the conducive environment to realise our dreams and hopes.  May our wishes be granted in a fair and democratic way.
