RM50,000 loan for moonlighters.

A Sure Way to Botch the Delivery System.

I totally oppose this new scheme. It's crazy.

We've heard of teachers playing truants because they want to concentrate on increasing their side income. Both their subsatantive job and their business need their full attention.

Now this. Its a sure way to the dog house for our country. How are the civil servants to be effective in their job if they have to worry about managing their business. If they can borrow 50K, they will make sure that they can pay it back. And their job will surely take the back seat.

The government has been introducing various measures to lighten the burden of the people after the nation was shocked with the 40% increase in fuel prices. We cannot continue introducing piece-meal solutions like this without considering the negative impacts it will cause.

The raising of fuel prices was a costly mistake. It would be even costlier if we had to destroy the civil service too.
