im compelled to post my friends comments on the previous post i posted.
i cant deny the truth behind her words especially given the situation our nation is facing today...after 50 years of independence shouldnt we look back and see how our country is really doing?
from nawar...
Glid,I do agree the government is spending massively on unnecessary stuff.I'm sorry to say but even sending the astronauts is such a waste.Why?Because they should have sent someone with more background in outer space.Not doctors for God's sake.I'm sorry it's rude but what doctors can do about it?Maybe yes they learn something but they won't benefit that much.And what will they do then?Just touring around?I know the programme has benefited Malaysia in some ways with some deals but still.
Heard about the new Istana Negara RM400 million?Hah,that's another waste.Do you know why they wanted to build a new one?
Bak kata Menteri Tol tuh,balairong kecik sgt.
It amused me so much u know.
But then again,I think I'm wasting the government's money as well.Jalan sana sini gune duit government.Thanks to somebody who actually pointed to me that it's not right to use the tax payers' money for our own leisure.Do you think so?
Bukan apa,I've been attacked by someone yg ckp,budak2 overseas nih duk blaja jauh,pehtu gi jalan2 gune duit rakyat.Yg rakyat kat mesia nih,susah payah carik duit nak bayar tol naik (it affects my dad by the way),minyak naik,minyak masak pun br naik,sumer pun naik die x ingat.Aku terus terdiam.Huhuhuhu.Maybe we should we play our parts too?

True. I agree wholeheartedly with the comment.
The entire astronaut fiasco raises the fact that when it comes to accomplishments, our government is more into extravagance than actual substance. Quantity over quality. Who cares what the astronauts get out of it? Malaysians get to say 'hey, we sent astronauts to outer space, and well now isn't that impressive?' So the country gets another claim to fame and admittedly, we all share a tinge of pride knowing that we've managed to join other advanced countries in terms of major triumphs. The aftermath, what comes after? Who even thinks that far, right. Hmmph. Doctors are overglorified in Malaysia! Qualifications aside, maybe someone with extensive credentials that are actually related to astronomy would prove to be a more solid investment for the future of space travel in Malaysia. The extent of how much this could benefit the citizens has been compromised, in attempt to provide a little grandeur, by coming up with astronouts that are also (wow!) doctors. Lucky us, our professionals are really diverse when it comes to expertise. How ironic.
And as for 'jalan sana sini'? I prefer thinking of it as an experience. Travelling might be a more leisurely form of activity compared to studying our asses off in the country/place they sent us, but the learning doesn't have to stop, right?
I guess I'm just as guilty as the rest of us when it comes to spending scholarship allowance for trips to visit friends here and there. It's likely I have ended up splurging every once in a while too. Have I actually gained something from it all? That's left to personal opinion. I'm inclined to believe that we all do.
We owe it to ourselves to be the insightful, discerning individuals that they picked to send abroad.
We owe it to those tax payers (my dad included too) to be something more, not yet another of the governments many failings.
So as long as you know in your heart that it's not all in jest, whatever people say and all their criticism really can't be taken to heart. We are aware of how screwed up things have become back in our beloved homeland and we want to make an active effort to change it.
Thats surely a start, right.
