it is budget day

on air at the moment is pak lah delivering his motion for the 2009 budget in parliament. Sound to be 'budget prihatin' as in his earlier part he has announced that free electricity will be given to those whose usage is below rm20.00 per month.

public transport has been taken care off and some new lines for LRT and also other modes of public transport being announced. Hoping it will helps in easing the jammed in klang valley.

some other measures has been table by such as the increase for allowances for pentioner (those served 25yrs and above) to a minimum of rm720. It do include the pencen terbitan. So, my mak mertua will benefit, sure a big smile if she come to know about it.

for smokers like myself, an increase is expected and has been said. It will cost 0.60cts more for a pack of 20. Better start thinking of quitting as more money needed to puff.

for the govt servants, thanks pak lah for announcing a month bonus for us though it will be given in two stages. Definetely it will ease us in preparing for the coming hari raya and new year.

selamat menyambut hari kemerdekaan yang ke 51. Happy Ramadhan for all my fellow muslim and family.
