Difference between a modest and greedy leader

Recently it was mentioned in the news that the newly elected MB of Penang, Lim Guan Eng had refused to move in to the official house because he does not want to spend RM100 000 of the rakyat's money.

This is what we would like to see in our leader. Not spending the public funds unnecessarily. Unlike some leaders who like to spend extravagant amount of the rakyat's money to fulfill their personal dream. Lets take a look at a few of the leaders in our country.









Abdullah Badawi, the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Bought a new jet not long ago.

Cost: RM200,000,000











Khir Toyo, former Menteri Besar of Selangor. Built an Exco Village at Shah Alam, consist of 10 bungalows and a clubhouse.

Cost: RM40,000,000











Zakaria Deroz (deceased), former assemblymen of Port Klang. Built his mansion at Port Klang without prior approval.

Cost: RM3,000,000











Nik Aziz, Menteri Besar of Kelantan. Refused to stay at the official house to save cost. Insist on staying at this wooden house of his.

Cost: Priceless!!

Yes, we really should. And i think anyone who wants to criticize the PAS government should really visit Kelantan before they make their judgement
