Pakatan: One-off handouts not enough to help poor


Pakatan Rakyat MPs are sceptical that the slew of one-off cash handouts announced in Budget 2012 would be beneficial for the lower-income group and pensioners.

Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng welcomed the move but opined that the amount of handouts to senior citizens was insufficient.

"It is better if they were given RM1,000 as suggested in the Buku Jingga (Pakatan's shadow budget document)," he said when met at the Parliament lobby.

Pakatan Governed States have proven that they rule and administer the State Govt more prudently and they are SERIOUS about tackling and curbing Corruption.

Pas MB YAB Niz Aziz has not taken an inch of land,money or encourage Racism to stay in power. This is the hallmark of a Pakatan Govt in action. Imagine a Pakatan Federal Government in power - Malaysia will reach New Heights of Sucess as they are committed to ending Corruption, Racism & Injustice in Malaysia.
