The defining disasters of recent Malaysian history \u2013submarines, missing jet plane engines, APs, IPPs, bailout- are to an amazing extent Barisan Nasional disasters.<\/p>\n

It is no coincidence that scandals of Zakaria Mat Deros proportions have continued to flourish while Malaysia\u2019s sluggish economy continues to flounder. BN conveniently blames the global economy, Soros, Jews, or any other scapegoat. When will they accept responsibility for the atrocious misdeeds committed on their watch?<\/p>\n

For years, alternative voices have cried foul over the outrageous mismanagement of taxpayers\u2019 funds. For generations, unrepentant government appointees have continued to enrich themselves and cronies \u2013 at taxpayer\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n

As these warnings went unheeded, Malaysia continues to suffer the consequences of a \u201cpenny wise and pound foolish\u201d government.<\/p>\n
