More promises

More promises

From Pikiran Rakyat

The election is over. Now, people are waiting for deliverance of the promises the campaigners have made. I remember how officials used slogans like Berseri-Bersinar (smile and glow), or something of that kind.

The above method is very appealing to the people. One way to deliver people's expectations is to put every promise down in writing during House sessions, pin it at the entrance of the House, pin it behind every member's chair, and if necessary even stick it to their cars.

We might economize on expenditure this way and it might be possible that foreign comparative studies are no longer necessary. Study trips to villages should suffice. We would economize enormously on expenditure and thereby be able to buy all SEA Games stickers to relieve the people from the burden of buying the stickers.
