PETRONAS delivers; what are other GOCs doing?

I refer to the article written by Chan Kok Leong, Sharon Tan & Chua Sue-Ann, with title "Petronas the biggest contributor to government coffers" dated 19 October 2009 at the following link:

GOC = Goverment-owned Company

Should Malaysia depends heavily on PETRONAS to deliver

While PETRONAS should be allowed to continue making profits from oil and gas industries, the Government should focus on GOCs involved in other sectors by executing profitable ventures, curbing unnecessary expenditures, eliminating "non-compliances" at the highest management level and adopt best practices to ensure maximum returns.

Having PETRONAS to contribute 99.93% of dividend to the Government (based on 10% dividend), which is equivalent to RM30.00b, there's practically nothing to worry about PETRONAS' capability to deliver.

What should the Government worry about? Yes, too much dependency on PETRONAS as source of income. And, what should we do in order to get more from other sectors?

From an agricultural nation, to an industrialized nation, we are moving backward with great reliance on natural resources.

With so much hope on PETRONAS to maintain the national economic growth, anyone can say that Malaysia's economy is not that robust.

For those who are looking for a conventional and steady stream of income, you may want to opt for AHB (syariah-compliant, tax-exempt and payable net of zakat).

Yuran Sekolah 2016 - Kenaikan Luar Biasa

Tahun 2016 bakal mencatat sejarah baru bagi para ibubapa yang akan menyediakan anak-anak untuk sesi persekolahan. Jumlah wang yang diperlukan akan meningkat sekurang-kurangnya 10 peratus akibat kenaikan harga buku tulis, buku kerja, pakaian berlogo sekolah dan barang-barang tambahan seperti kad perpustakaan, fail pelajar dan sebagainya. Kenaikan ini bukan dalam kawalan pihak sekolah atau kerajaan kerana barang-barang ini dibekalkan oleh pembekal swasta, yang menjadikan GST dan kenaikan kos logistik (tol, elektrik, dan lain-lain) sebagai alasan. Belum termasuk tambang bas sekolah lagi. Kenaikan 10 peratus itu adalah sangat konservatif. Berjimat cermatlah dalam berbelanja. http://www.utusan.com.my/berita/wilayah/2-000-murid-terima-bantuan-persekolahan-8232-bernilai-rm60-000-sumbangan-tabung-haji-1.174935

Buying a new bike

Traffic in KK is getting worse from time to time. Not only expensive house rental and food, the cost for getting to work is also increasing. I am seriously considering buying a bike... Still haven't made up my mind yet, a typical bike or a scooter? Scooter looks more elegant and easier to handle. However, expect higher CAPEX and OPEX. Typical bike looks not so stylish, but should meet the intended purpose i.e. getting to work. Based on these arguments, I prefer scooter to typical bike :) Waiting for the right time, then just go the the shop and grab one... no more thinking. This one looks nice: Joymax 250: yet to find the dealer and OTR price. Huge luggage box works for me. The 12L fuel capacity is good for a non-stop 300km-journey.
