Malaysia will be going bankrupt in 9 years. Nine FREAKING years and the government is going to spend RM8 mil on a stupid palace for the King? What's wrong with the current palace? Isn't it good enough as it is?
If they are talking about refurbishing the palace. YES I get it since it has been around for so long, some refurbishing work should go on to maintain the comfort and livability of the palace for our dear King. But a new RM8 mil palace? What's the rationale behind this action? Don't tell me the palace is not big enough, grand enough or magnificent enough to be lived in by out dearest King!
Talk about "conserving" heritage buildings, so what are they going to do with the "old" palace then? Making it into another heritage muzium that does not help generate income that contributes to the Malaysian economy?
One of the reasons provided by the government was "the palace used to be a private residence and the government aquire it and made it a palace". The Bukingham palace has been there for 307 years and it used to be a private residence of some sort as well, yet I don't see Queen Elizabeth asking for a new palace!
Our government do love building new official buildings aye? I wonder why... Oh maybe it's due to "inflation"! The new "cost" should have increase a lot since the RM4 mil budget was costed 5 years ago. (@_____@)"
