YOURSAY 'Why should the gov’t give what belongs to the rakyat to YPN?'

YPN replies to allegations against 'Patriot' plates

Ipoh PP: As I see it, all Yayasan Patriot Negara Malaysia's (YPN) answers on the Patriot number plates are mere bull.

Why can't the Road Transport Department (RTD) auction these numbers off and let the sales proceeds go to government coffers in the first place?

Why should the government give this out to YPN? YPN is just taking away what belongs to the rakyat.
          
Mafeeah: Utter rubbish, YPN. Indeed, why not get RTD to conduct the auction and then use the money for road safety programmes since our road fatality record is not that good. Doesn't that sound more patriotic?

ACR: Enough with this rubbish. Just on two allegations: Allegation 1: How much of the RM10 million sales would RTD get?

Allegation 2: RTD is the sole authority to issue number plates in the country. Notwitstanding whose idea this was (and it is a harebrained one), would not RTD make the money for itself if it had conducted its own auction like what it had done in the past?

Why is this not a loss for RTD with YPN coming into the picture?

Overlord: If YPN had obtained the rights of selling the Patriot plate numbers using open tender and it is transparent in the first place, this crap would not have come out.

Direct negotiation with such a huge profit whereby the average plate number is only RM100, and with previous transactions history showing just the sale of the first 20 numbers can make at least RM1,000,000, this is just another piece of Umno logic.

Justice Pao: Next up, they will have 1MDB number plates to help reduce their debts with minimum bid for '1MDB 1' at RM10 million and a direct hotline to the Prime Minister's Office for special deals.

This should help raise the billions needed for 1MDB. After that, '1Malaysia' car number plates, 'Wira Negara' plates, and so on.

They should be able to raise enough money to pay 1MDB's interest payments.

Turvy: What about I propose this - the PM may not have thought of this but I have - I would like to let his office out at night and on weekends when the PM and his staff are not there.

The rental earned would be mine, because the PM never thought of the idea.
          
Supercession: What's so patriotic about earning millions for zero work, and at the expense of the rakyat? -Mkini
