How this country is fcuked by a bunch of hypocrites?

For the past few days, our homeland has been continuously shattered by undreamed of and unimaginable reality.
Let me tell you why.
Joke #1.
A whopping RM792,325.20 was spent by the Government for the use of executive jets by PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his deputy Najib Tun Razak between Feb 24 and March 7, which is during the campaign period.
Stuck in the traffic jam? Well, go pay toll then!
Joke #2.
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Maximus Ongkili said that the Government paid RM39.11mil for the Angkasawan space programme, with RM16.8mil was born by the ministry and RM22.28mil by government-linked agencies.
Not impressed with the most expensive teh tarik, roti canai and sambal belacan in the world?
Well, do you think the Government cares?
Joke #3.
Agriculture and Agro-Based Minister Mustapa Mohamed urge the people to reduce rice consumption in view of high-rise food prices.
Not enough rice to go around? Well, go eat potatoes then!
Not good enough?
Here comes the bomb!
The Information Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek said his ministry is planning to set up blogs to disseminate information and to receive feedback on current issues.
He added that the ministry would also hold dialogue with bloggers who were considered "critical" by the Government.
Interestingly, while the statement was only made less than 24 hours ago, Malaysia Today news portal webmaster Raja Petra Kamaruddin charged under Section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act for publishing "seditious article" on April 25 on his blog.
While this is totally and definitely a new level of arbitrary decisions here and there all together, it’s pretty fair for one to presume that this has to be a case of the nastiest hypocrite government in the history of our nation.
Now, it’s about time the world putting Malaysia under microscope, with the internet-blocking giant China seemingly a saint out of nowhere.

RM700,000 is indeed a huge sum of money. But i suppose it’s the same for leaders from other nations too to fly on private jets? Well, isnt it not? Maybe it’s for safety reason, especially so for the elections.
But saying that, maybe they should think of other cost-friendly AND safe ways to travel next time.
in relation to wasting taxpayers money, if you want to take into consideration that our Agong and Kings also have "jet-setting" lifetyles for sure. Because it is indeed taxpayers money too. I hope nobody’s going to touch on that one? (blasphemy blasphemy!)
Tricky right?

So the government’s intended engagement with the bloggers is to send them to jail?

Since when has the utterances from the Gomen been commensurate with consistencies from the viewpoint of logic and semantics? They’re only been pronounced robotically from the pathetic MSM like sacred truths.

In a way the BN government are even nastier than the North Korea/Cuba/Myanmar government. At least these government are not hypocrite, they just do the evil stuff without cover-ups. They know the people are not that dumb like the Malaysians who can so easily buy into their stories.

sandyow,
u missed the whole point, they are not the PM or DPM or government after the parliament was dissolved so they should not abuse goverment property & tax payers money for campaigning. In the US, Bush have to pay for his travel on Air force one or chopper during the election campaign! stop thinking that they are so special and deserve to abuse our money like they own them!
