Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak reminded Malaysian to be prepared to lose subsidies by government and pay more as government was experiencing heavy deficit due to fuel subsidy, higher health cost and poor repayment of education loans.

According to him, changed would be gradually, phase by phase in order not to shock the people. Quote:

“We have to condition the minds of the people first before doing any review.” […]

“These are among the financial challenges we have to deal with.”

When asked about healthcare system and higher education loan system, he was quoted as saying:

“The question now is whether we can continue with the present situation or have some sort of scheme.” […]

“Ideally, the outflow and inflow of these loans should be balanced. If these loans are not repaid, we will have to review the management of the loan system.”

See, this is the main problem in Malaysia. People in authority know the existence and roots of problems, but when comes to implemention, none becomes feasible.

I had lost my words, at least for the time being.

Or should I harbour and preserve my least hope on this?

What you think?
