"We have calculated that on average, a family can buy groceries such as 10kg of rice, 5kg of cooking oil and other essentials per month with RM41.60. That means they have enough to buy food for 12 months with the RM500 BR1M" - PM Najib
If what Malaysia's PM Najib had been quoted to have said has a grain of truth, we could lend Jim Cameron of UK lots of money to tide things out and he wouldn't have to sell military choppers to India!
And with that kind of background noises, Malaysia's opposition,from Pakatan Rakyat, is really offering Liberty, Equality and Freedom Fraternity (Liberté, égalité, fraternité) in their proposals for the imminent general elections, the GE13.
Have a look at what they're offering!
