But I suspect few people would want to read such a “boring” article. And so I spiced it up - with good reason though.
The trigger for writing this was Transport Minister Anthony Loke’s recent announcement that there would be no more road safety campaign launches.
This, he said, was to save funds, as each launch event costs RM200,000 for souvenirs, food, tents, etc.
I applaud his desire to cut down on such frills – which many officials use to boost their neo-feudal ego and status.
But how will the money saved be used?
