Ah, the Auditor General's Report

Also in contention was the RM2.94 million spent by the ministry in the promotion and publicity of National Youth Day 2012.

The report notes that RM1,111,927 was spent just on promotion and publicity while another RM1.6 million was spent on paying the K-Pop artistes UKiss, and Teen-Top and Dal Shabet.

The ministry also spent RM42,500 for 17 units of "robot-themed boards", RM42,466 for the accommodation of journalists and a hi-tea reception at the Marriot Hotel in Putrajaya, and another RM107,500 for bloggers to promote the event.

It has been noted as "high expenditure" by the auditor-general.

Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin assured action will be taken against those who waste tax payer's money.

HD says: I still remember the previous audits on an agency within the ministry...

    KBS, seems to always be in the limelight, whenever auditors reports are out most of the time - sadly for some bad and sick reasons.
    Why are these bad and sick activities are being repeated, year after year?? Are they simply shameless,? knowing that the public will eventually come to know.
    Why are they still doing it, and what is the gov 's stand??
    Are they simply closing their eyes and ears and letting such sickness(misuse taxpayers money) to continue??

    It comes to show how, badly cultured are we when comes to governance - repetition at the highest order.
    Who should be blamed for all these - our politics or the man on the street??
    For me, its obviously the political doctrine that we practice, are the main reasons for losing one's pride and dignity by doing so.

    Well, lets wait and see, what is to come out off all these findings, and how the people at the top going to address the issues - looking forward anxiously as taxpayer.

From 'Mr P' to 'Kemelut Dalaman BAM': Four chapters of 'mesej Whatsapp layang'

Image
Surat layang , or rather ' mesej Whatsapp (or some will pronounce as Wasup) layang '. That was what I received this afternoon from a number that is not registered on my phone. The sender identified him/herself as " ahli yg memerhati tingkah laku BAM " (Badminton Association of Malaysia). The four chapters were titled as:  'Siapa dia Tan Sri BAM "Mr P"' Perletakan Jawatan Presiden BAM 'Siapa Tengku Zafrul' Kemelut Dalaman BAM There were many allegations to which the sender justified as not " fitnah " but " hakikat apa yg berlaku ". The four chapters highlights Mr P's "connection kuat ", goes into why Tengku Zafrul was named as the incoming BAM president, and takes issue with the establishment of 'Yayasan Badminton Nasional' and Akademi Badminton Malaysia. The writer (unsure if the sender is also the writer) also wrote that ' majority in the Council dalam BAM semua tak berani buat laporan sebab tak

Ramlan saga - Part 3

UPDATE (May 23, 2012: 12.06pm): Dilema JKR, 'dua' ketua pengarah - this was brought to my attention. Read here for more. ----- I first wrote about the effort to remove National Sports Institute director general Dr Ramlan Aziz in March - as seen here . Then I wrote about the same subject again early May . I was invited to be a guest for this week's Kafe Sukan but had to decline as the recording was done on Sunday - the same day I left the country. Apparently Ramlan's predicament was discussed. Despite receiving numerous SMS-es - for and against what was discussed - I will refrain from commenting as I have yet to view the show. I have also been told there are efforts to get certain people to replace Ramlan. To me that is secondary. I have still not obtained the answers to these questions; 1. According to the NSI Act, only the minister can hire or fire the director general. Has the minister issued such a directive? 2. According to the country's Lab
