Harapan must address high cost of living, PM says after Cameron defeat
Following Pakatan Harapan's loss in the Cameron Highlands polls last Saturday, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today stressed that the government must address the high cost of living, especially for those living in rural areas.
“We have to know more about what they (people) are not happy about. We know that among the things that affect them is the high cost of living...
Tun is saying that the rural poor needs to be helped. What about the urban poor? They too need help.. maybe even more than the rural folks as the cost of living in urban areas are a lot higher, they have no land to plant their own food or rear livestocks, they have to pay rent, they are not skilled enough to earn money, some children have very little education, they live in cramp filthy places etc. The government should help all poor people regardless whether they are rural or urban. Don’t just help the rural ones because you need their votes.
Tun, what do you mean high cost of living doesn't mean anything for the rich compared to the poor? The high cost of living means everything for every single Malaysian citizen. Just because some or rich and most are poor, that doesn't mean it doesn't impact all. B40, M40 etc etc, all are still Malaysians and please don't criminalize the rich for the sake of poor votes. Address the issue at hand. Don't politicize everything just for the sake of getting votes or majority. You are chosen to take Malaysia forward. So please focus on solving issues and not vote mongering.
