How BN Government Was Responsible For Our Angkasa-One

February 29, 2008

Remember the country’s pride when Russia helped send the first Malaysian, Syeikh Muzaphar Syukor, into space? I was one of the optimistic people who thought that this project could perhaps inspire kids to be more interested in Science subjects, and hopefully, one day, Malaysia will not need to depend on other countries to send OUR astronaut into space. That’s what I tell people anyway.

But putting that optimism aside, since we are in the full swing of elections, and we are of course concerned with fiscal responsibility in government, let’s look at how this deal with Russia came about. Back in the early 21st century, probably in 2003, I don’t recall, the BN Government put in an order for 18 Sukhoi figher jets from Russia. Total cost (don’t hold your breath): RM 3.4 billion. Let’s look at that in another way, so that you can appreciate the fact that, you, and your next ten generations will probably not even come close to seeing this kind of money in your bank accounts: RM 3,400,000,000.00.

Part of this weapons deal was for Russia to help train and send a Malaysian into space. The cost of the space trip or the total discount given is not known to me, so let’s just give the BN government a break and ass-u-me it was free, ok?

So, here are the facts: Under a weapons deal, the Russians will help a Malaysian get into space. All the BN government had to do, was buy the god-damned planes from Russia. The BN government is just doing what it knows best, mainly: finding creative ways to use the people’s money.

So today, I read that Najib had said the following, taking credit where credit was certainly not due:

Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today launched a verbal salvo against opposition party PAS.

According to him, the Islamic-based party, which uses the moon as its symbol, only looks good from the outside.

“They are looking at the moon but highest they can go is up to the top of coconut trees. We, on the other hand, have gone to outer space.

“We will suffer if PAS comes out as our leader,” he was quoted as saying by Bernama at a function in Kedah.

We should buy one of these space-glasses for our Angkasa-two. This one should only cost us RM20 million.

I truly wonder sometimes, what BN has really achieved besides throwing money to gain achievements, and claiming that it was all due to their own efforts.

Najib says the darndest things!
