The AP Hipocrisy

According to the Star, our MPs have denied selling their personal APs. What irks me more is the fact that members of Parliament are accorded this priviledge despite our having a national car! Putting the 2 together, my conclusion is neither complimentary nor kind... and I believe many would take a more sinister view of such an arrangement. How many more will fall at the expense of one?

Pot calling a Kettle...

From a reader's perspective, it was interesting to read the Star's Article on UMNO Youths poking fun at the Minister's expense. While I can understand the resentment, it is apparent that these same "youths" do not understand the crux of the matter.

Coupled with the call for a return of the NEP, there was a general displeasure at how the APs were given to a privileged few; as opposed to spreading it among other "worthy" persons. The fact of the matter is that AP as a principle is erroneous and open to abuse. In an age where the leadership is preaching transparency and opposing graft, such practices should be abolished and a more (I am tempted to say equitable but it would be wrong) effective method implemented to allow and control the inflow of foreign vehicles.

If indeed the anger is an extension of envy, and delegates have not demonstrated anything else but, the end result is cosmetic and only serve another flock of privilege birds.
