WHAT ELSE IS NEW-THE WHOLE COUNTRY UNDER BN IS A MESS INFESTED WITH CORRUPTION & MISMANAGEMENT RIGHT FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM!!!! QUOTE: The recent survey conducted by Sabah Umno Youth that Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia (KR1M) in the state is selling products at prices higher than the market price as reported by a local daily has been a shock. “This survey discovery is shocking because the Federal Government has promised Sabahans and Sarawakians cheaper goods in the 2013 budget with the opening of 57 KR1Ms in East Malaysia. “The Budget presented in 2012 allocated RM87 million for set up these 57 shops, costing an average of RM1.53 million each!,” said Tony Pua in a recent statement. As a comparison, in the 2012 Budget, RM40 million was allocated to subsidise Mydin to set up 85 KR1M stores in Peninsula Malaysia, where each store will average RM471,000, he said. He pointed out that there was already a massive difference of RM1.06 million for each store set up and asked why it cost a extravagant RM1.53 million to set up a simple KR1M grocery store? The above does not yet include a separate RM279 million budget for a “price standardisation programme” to ensure cheaper goods in East Malaysia, out of which approximately RM100 million is allocated for Sabah. UMNO members, he said, have themselves discovered that the goods sold in KR1M were actually more expensive that other shops which received no subsidies, incentives or support from the Government.
