None of the 11 goodies benefit me, KANASAI.
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dished out 11 “goodies” in conjunction with his 100th day as Prime Minister yesterday.
The measures were both people-friendly and, in some cases, solutions to longstanding grievances.
The “goodies” are:
> a 20% discount for motorists who pay toll 80 times a month via Smart Tag or Touch ’n Go from Sept 1;
> some 44,000 low-cost houses in Kuala Lumpur to be sold to existing tenants;
> a 50% discount on licences for petty traders in the Federal Territory;
> a RM150mil allocation for entrepreneurs, and another RM15mil specifically for young Indian businessmen;
> another 3,000 taxi permits to be approved soon;
> expediting birth registrations in Sabah and Sarawak;
> clearing the backlog of citizenship applications;
> improving access to basic utilities in rural areas;
> reducing the cost to obtain a B2 motorcycle licence (under 250cc);
> setting up a new trust fund, Amanah Saham 1Malaysia, for investors aged above 18; and
> various measures to be announced soon to curb crime and corruption
