Dr M's Heavenly Kingdom in Putrajaya, a symbol of dictatorship

UMNO LEADERS JUST LIKE TO WASTE PUBLIC FUNDS ON NON-PRODUCTIVE VENTURES. THEY JUST WANT A NAME, THIS WAS DONE BY ME AND OUR PARTY. AT THE END THE POOR RAKYAT WILL HAVE TO BEAR THE LOST WHILE DEPRIVING DESERVING PROJECTS THAT WILL UPLIFT THE PEOPLE.


Viktor Wong, Malaysia Chronicle

Putrajaya, the current administrative capital of the Umno-led BN federal government was a brainchild of former premier Dr Mahathir Mohammad. He spent billions of Ringgit developing the district and upgrading it into a Federal Territory as soon as the construction of the new capital was completed.

Then, he instructed the development of a Heavenly Kingdom within Putrajaya to symbolise the Umno-BN's decades of power by constructing monuments like the"Astaka Morocco" and the "Monumen Alaf Baru", which he claimed would attract visitors to his new capital.

The construction of the so-called Heavenly Kingdom within Putrajaya cost Malaysian taxpayers another RM41.0 million. But that's not all. There is also a further, say about RM400,000.00 annually, for maintenance and to upkeep the area on regular basis. Do all these benefit or bring any good to our people? No wonder the federal government says we are going to bankrupt soon.

This is what happens when monuments and huge structures such as these are constructed just to fulfill ego, greed, lust and fantasies of certain political elite. They think they are supreme and must be hoping that other lesser mortals will one day admire and worship them.

Actually, these monuments and structures do not really symbolize Umno or BN rule in our nation at all. Nor do they show how great a leader is or was once upon a time. They only underscore the true nature of how our nation has been totally abused and brutalized by 'dictators' past and present, who think nothing at all of using undemocratic means to bulldoze their way through.

Not only is FELDA at risk of going bankrupt, we can pretty much presume the entire federal government will be going bankrupt.

Finally, we do not know how many more white elephants there are out there, waiting to be exposed. But what we can be certain of is that there will be certainly way too many to describe .
