		<description>I like the questions. But I am sure that I will not like the answers from the Ministers because they tell a lot of stories with no real answer.

I want to hear what the Minister of Finance is going to say about Air Asia owing airport tax RM65 million and MAHB was sleeping all the time. The CEO of MAHB should be sacked for sleeping on his job. 

The other one good question is on advance purchase of Air Asia plane tickets. The government must come out with some safeguards to ensure that in the event that Air Asia collapses, those who have purchased the tickets in advance will be protected.  I do not want to see the government using rakyat monies to bailout the situation.

The government must take note that many low cost airlines in the other parts of the world have collapsed and members of the public had to suffer.  Therefore, with the example at hand, the government must device a scheme to protect the public and to ensure no bailout!

I am very concerned about BAILOUT private companies. Rakyat monies are for  the use of the rakyat and not for bailing out of ailing companies.</description>

		<description>Why were the two Taiwanese given citizenship or permanent resident status for that matter. They are so many locally born Chinese friends of mine are still awaiting for citizenship. I heard that these two Taiwanese are also indirectly involved in the Malaysain Tourism Board call centre via the company knwon as Daro Worldwide and the Biofeed (Venturepharm).

I was also told that the Ministry of Science will be paying out a large sum of monies to Venturepharm at he end of May 2009.  I hope that the Ministry will hold on the payment until a thorough check is made on the so-called research to be undertaken.  

I also hope that the Minister of Tourism will also look into the involvement of Daro Worldwide sdn bhd in the call centre. 

They all smells!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  YB Wee, the wya you framed the questions, you seemed to know the answers already.  Good job. YB, please whack them nicely in Parliament.</description>

		<description>YB, you actually has come so far and gone thru so much. Thank you for being there for us. 

Beliau pernah berperanan penting di Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP), namun selepas kegagalannya untuk cuba menggulingkan Lim Kit Siang, beliau disingkirkan daripada DAP. Beliau membawa para penyokongnya untuk menubuhkan Parti Demokratik Malaysia (MDP) dan bertanding dalam Pilihanraya Umum Malaysia 1999 dan Pilihanraya Umum Malaysia 2004, tetapi tidak pernah memenangi apa-apa kerusi. Sejak penubuhan partinya, beliau menjawat sebagai Ketua Setiausaha partinya, pemimpin yang tertinggi dalam parti ini. ( from Wikipedia)</description>

		<description>Lee wee tak, saya tak rasa supply chain yang panjang cari untung mungkin. Tapi AP yang kurang dan mahal salah satu sebabnya, kerana tak banyak syarikat tempatan yang ada AP, kalau adapun untuk mereka yang tidak tahu menggunakan hanya mencari keuntung diri sendiri dan juga syarikat asing yang tidak dibenarkan produk mereka dijual dimalaysia hanya kerana mereka tidak bersetuju dengan 30% pegangan bumiputra.</description>

		<description>I am looking forward to know what is the government going to say about taking measures to protect members of the public from getting into unnecessary troubles when buying plane tickets in advance. We have have seen many low cost airlines collapsed, the most recent one was Oasis in Hong Kong. 

Once the airline collapsed the passengers who have paid for tickets in advance will suffer. So the government must have a mechanism to avoid such problems. 

More importantly, there must not be a bailout using the rakyat monies in the event that the airline is in trouble. 

I like the questions that will make the government to be on their toes.   

Thank you YB.</description>

		<description>I have heard that the Taiwanese named in the question is a smooth operator and she always use nominees to operate. She loves Malaysian government because the Malaysian government is blind and could not see anything further than their nose. 

I hope that the government will investigate into this Taiwanese woman and all those nominee companies like those named in YB Wee&#039;s question. The government should also look into the maintenance contract of Malaysia House, which is owned by Malaysian government, in Hong Kong.

This is a serious matter. Malaysians should not allow Taiwanese to take us a for a ride and then laugh at us.

Thank you YB Wee.  You have done a great job.</description>

		<description>Dear YB,

[&#039;Beer sale ban infringes rights&#039;

Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim with Teresa Kok during the Beer Ban
Meeting this afternoon.
SHAH ALAM (May 21, 2009) : A dialogue today on a move by some local authorities in Selangor to stop retail outlets from selling beer and other alcoholic drinks reignited old arguments -- that such an order infringed the rights of non-Muslims and that other measures should be used to stop Muslims and minors from buying and consuming such products.

Several quarters, including assemblymen and local councillors, spoke up strongly against sale restrictions during the dialogue between state officials, non-governmental organisations and stakeholders like wholesalers, hypermarkets and retail outlets. 

It was held to address problems arising from instructions from local authorities to retail outlets selling these products and protest from groups calling for a ban on the sale of alcohol in some areas.

State executive councilors Teresa Kok, Dr Hasan Ali and Ronnie Liu, who were at the dialogue chaired by Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, did not offer views but merely listened to the arguments. The issues will next be deliberated at the next executive council meeting on Wednesday.

What triggered the matter was a letter from the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) to retail outlets on May 13 stating that the sale of all alcoholic drinks including beer will not be allowed in Sections 1 to 25 in Shah Alam as the majority of those living in those areas are Muslims.

The ban of sale of beer in such stores also covered outlets in Bandar Baru Sungai Buloh (Section U20) and TTDI Jaya (Section U2).

It should be noted that beer is a social drink that does not require specific licensing for sale, unlike hard liquor.]

Cheers</description>

saya juga percaya, &quot;supply chain&quot; negara kita mungkin terlalu panjang maka mungkin terdapat terlalu banyak untung &quot;orang tengah&quot; yang boleh menaikkan harga.

apakah pendapat saudara?</description>
