Yesterday around 5 pm, Po Kuan told me that the Parliament would sit until 11 pm, wow ! At that particular moment, it was Agriculture minister’s turn to take on the stage. According to Po Kuan, many were shooting questions regarding subsidies or assistance given by Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) or Lembaga Peladang Kebangsaan (Nafas). However, those are beyond the reach unless if you are an Umnoputras, she added.

I asked her about the free fertilizer given by federal government, with a Dacing logo on it. Po Kuan was somehow suprised to learn that I have acually seen it before. Yes, I did. I have seen it a few times when I went to lepak in our Lake Gardens in KL with a woman (my mom lah, idiot!). Workers there throw the fallen leaves into empty sacks such as this.

Po Kuan told me that she had never seen it before, only heard it from Mohamad khalwat Sabu in the House, in the good old days when there were 32 Barisan Alternatif MPs. Therefore, I have been searching for its picture, and found it in the RSF Freedom Blog. It was given to him by his little bird, Wong PY.

So you have it, Skim Baja Padi Kerajaan Persekutuan. Without these free fertilizers, there won’t be enough rice for all of us. As it signifies, yes, we are living in the grace of Umyes. It can’t be the other way round. Bersyukurlah !

YB Fong Po Kuan, MP for Batu Gajah, has moved into her new home in the blogging world. Alvin must be frustrated, as Bob failed to inform him that you can use Wordpress here in Blogsome for free, and instead made him bought his own domain and hosting :-P

Po Kuan’s entries are really fantastic. A lot of everyday problems have been disclosed, especially the red tapes and bureaucrazy of our Cemerlang, Mohd Isa Gemilang, Khairy Jamaluddin Terbilang govermnent. Things that marhaens like you and me can relate to.

Yes, you know what I wanted to say. Exactly ! I just wanted to say, Po Kuan’s blog is much more interesting than that of her *Thank you for parachutting on us* tauke, whom the expired medicine labelled as “expired medicine“. I first thought Kit’s blog would be a mahligai of kenyataan akhbars. I was proven wrong. It was actually mostly commentaries on currents events, cuma, written in kenyataan akhbar style :-)

As I have said earlier, voters do know that things such as human rights, press freedom etc are somehow important too, but they failed to contextualize it into how are they going to suffer, due the absence of these rights. By raising the everyday local issues, it will be easier for laymen to realise how are they exploited by the rejim kuku besi. So politicians, make your priorities right !

Selamat naik umah baru, Po Kuan !
