Official Silly Act (OSA)

Looks like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon, so why not me? Here's my RM2m worth...

Why would any minister disclose 'official documents' that will show how naive (read stupidity, selfishness, ....fill in the blanks) they were in their negotiation, legal acumen, financial wrangling. So the easy way out - OSA. (My acronym for Only Safe Avenue, Only Silly Administrators).

Now if the toll operators were really not making profits, I propose the government takes over all the toll operations. I am sure the toll operators would rush to hand over a loss making concern. The government would save on the subsidies (I read somewhere, every 3 years toll hike). Abolish road tax and setup a petrol tax. The more you travel, the more you contribute.

Pros and cons of a petrol tax, that's for another day.
