Don't confuse the public and sabotage investigations

The police as reported are considering investigating the webportals and blogsites medical report allegedly issued by Pusrawi Hospital. (refer: POLICE: Website's report an attempt to sabotage investigations, confuse public)

Medical reports are confidential documents and it is a fact that someone had committed this crime of secrecy. Therefore the police will have to investigate this heinous act. The police will not allow such criminal and disgusting act to be committed by people who may claim their act is done in the name of justice and divine virtue.

This revelation may upset the sodomy investigation process and confuse the public, and upset the positions of the parties implicated. So far every effort were made to give the public very clear picture of what is happening but the blogs and webportals keep revealing informations that contradicts the good efforts and causes anxieties to all parties. Now we have a totally flabbergasted public and they may blame the police and the government for such contradictions and ambiguity.

The government is gravely concern about this issue and hope that all parties will restraint and not cause more unnecessary contradictions and make the work of our loyal police force more difficult and onerous. The people must trust the government and the police; if they placed their confidence and trust in them, then the government will be able to uphold its integrity and excellence.

As an initiation towards the promotion of the common good of the people, the Barisan Nasional government will be launching community programmes to help people reduce their energy use and adopt other cost-saving habits.

These include more use of public transport and developing edible home gardens under the federal government's Bumi Hijau campaign.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi told BN menteris besar and chief ministers this at a meeting yesterday. (Refer: BN states to promote cost-saving habits)

Although the energy price will be increased soon due to the fact that TNB's profit had dropped 70%, the government will make sure that such inflationary pressures would not burdened the people beyond their threshold. The government understands the plight of the people when it increased the price of fuel and reduce the subsidy by some 40-60% but that was inevitable and beyond the control of the government as the price of crude oil had ballooned at the same hike caused largely by speculative trading and hedging by the Western economies.

The government is now promoting the Bumi Hijau campaign to help the people learn how to grow their own vegetables and fruits in their own garden. As for those who stays in flats and apartments and do not have own garden, the government is studying ways to help them grow vegetables inside their bedroom and toilets.

With regard to high fuel prices, the government will promote better public transport that do not consume fuel such as bicycled-bus services, mass giant-rickshaws services. The government will also organize campaigns to encourage the people to walk to work as a form of exercise to better their health and at the same time save fuel cost, parking and toll charges. The government have also advised the state governments to use Mercedes Benz only for foreign dignitaries and functions. The state government must show respect to foreign dignitaries and VIPs and it will not be good for them to be transported by Perdanas (which occasionally breakdown on its journey as observed)

As addition, in order to make the people feel better and brighter, the government will be organizing more promotions and campaigns to keep explaining to the people (until they fully understand) about all these uncontrollable situations. To ensure the total success of these campaigns the government have allocated many millions for the roadshow. It is hope that all these roadshows and campaigns will help to alleviate the peoples' suffering.
