Price Hike: Mind Boggling Justification

I have to confess, one can never stop feeling being amazed (or amused?, I am confused), by the justifications made  by the people in power whenever there is a price hike, when they increased the price of sugar, they claimed that they have the well being and health of the people close to their heart, less sugar is better, so indirectly they are forcing the rakyat to lessen sugar intake (OMG, and you doubted them, shame on you...wink...wink).When they increase the water tariff, it was done to save mother nature, too many people wasting water unnecessarily, ( isk...isk...what a noble intention, could be considered for the Nobel Prize). So they are left with no other choice, but to increase the water tariiff to force you to use water wisely (what a master plan! Bravo!).Now they are increasing the electricity tariff,the numero uno of Malaysia is saying that, that Government is doing this with a heavy heart (yeah...very heavy heart), the reason is too much wastage because the price is low (why, dont believe ah?). He further claimed (without blinking his eye, I felt so...),  if the country continues to impose imposing low tariff rates, malaysia will not be able to develop alternative energy as this require higher cost, and that if the current rates are retained, they will not provide profit for the investors in the alternative energy sector (Wow, what a marvellous master strategist we have spearheading our country, Why,? You dont think so?). I feel so touched....we are all short sighted, our leaders on the other hand are far sighted (in fact very very far sighted)

Sometimes I wonder where they get all the spin doctors from, Mars or Pluto?...damn they are good....(or the rakyat make them look good?).(p/s spin doctors  are rare breed that are most sought after (about the same as British Bulldogs or Tibetan Mongrels) that can spin good news to look like bad news..vice versa).....
adios for now.....a.h.baharom
