BN Manifesto for GE 13

Ah...Finally the BN manifesto is out! Well, it is as below:

http://manifestopru13.com/bahasainggeris.php

In general, I think that the manifesto is more detailed compared to past GE as Pakatan now has a more comprehensive manifesto. However, it is also still pretty vague. And its money galore: more BR1Ms, etc etc. 

Also it exposes some hypocrisies here and there. Also the failure to give a definite numbers to certain proposal (leaving it open to the extend that '1' is an achievement). Also for the PR1MA home programme, a million homes in 5 years? It's a bit far-fetched and the fact that it will be priced 20% below market price leaves it open for debate (for 500k houses). If prices surge, it will also be painful to the potential house seekers especially those just in the job market. 

Of course BN has put in some figures on road contructions, etc, but it is just not enough. A lot of wishy washy things up in the air (not to say that Pakatan manifesto has no holes in it) and you have been the goverment for more than 50 years. Some of the issues should have been solved donkey years ago and not trying to solve it now. 

Now, it really boils down to the fact that the BN only listens a little to the people only after the last bashing they got from the rakyat. If they had won 2/3 last round, sorry. No handouts, no listening and probably they will say ,'you gave us the mandate, now YOU listen to ME'. 

So folks, please if you intend to keep BN in power, just give them the same number of seats or lower so that they will work harder.
