The latest news that the B.N controlled federal govt will by-pass Pakatan Rakyat State govts in allocating federal funds is a tell-tale sign that the incumbent govt has not moved away from their old habits.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister Dept, Datuk Mohd Johari Baharum had the gall to say that 'So far we have found that the mechanism used in Trengganu is the most suitable for these states'.I would have thought that the lesson learned in Trengganu that led to the change in the Menteri besar would still be fresh in every one's mind . yet we have here a smart Deputy minister trying to coral the 'wang Ehsan ' money meant for state development to a one similar what Idris did to the 'wang Ehsan' money in Trengganu.
Perhaps he had in mind another Monsoon cup along the coast of Port Klang with a budget of $300 million.
If this is not another way of channelling State developement funds for crony sponsored projects then I dont know what it is.
Looks like old habits die hard. Contracts for mega projects will be given out via federal funds to UMNO cronies thus by-passing opposition controlled States of Pakatan Rakyat.And why not.? They have been doing it in Kelantan and Trengganu and now they will extend it to the other Pakatan Rakyat States.Looks like the good times are coming back again.
