Dah jadi sedara syaitan!

In NST today, Page 4:

Another landmark is coming up in the federal administrative centre to embody the contributions of the country’s prime ministers.

The RM40 million Mercutanda Perdana will give Malaysians an insight into the national ethos framed by the four past prime ministers as well as the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.[...]

Note: The project is going to be funded by donation from public and private parties.

Then read this, on Page 9:

No electricity, no treated water and a 12-hour walk along a rutted 40km trail to reach civilisation — all part of the job for three teachers posted to remote SK Sungai Magandai.[...]

What keeps the three teachers going is the satisfaction of imparting knowledge to children who had been deprived of education until a school was built there in 1996.[...]

"When we came here there were no teachers' quarters. We had to put up at the dilapidated Balai Raya in this village," he said. Later, the three teachers moved to a hostel built by a group of volunteers in 2002 for children who would otherwise have to walk several hours to school.[...]

Takde kerja lain, tahu nak habiskan taxpayers' money aje! Ni dah kira membazir tahap khinzir buta nie! Padehal banyak lagi benda baik & bermanfaat yang boleh dibuat dgn RM40 juta tuh!
