IPP subsidies cannot be removed, says Soi Lek - Yahoo! News
http://my.news.yahoo.com/ipp-subsidies-cannot-be-removed-says-soi-lek-090445069.html
KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 — The government cannot remove billion-ringgit subsidies for independent power producers (IPPs) as it is tied up in agreements with them, MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said today.
The DAP has said that the Najib administration would only spur inflation by removing the diesel super subsidy before cutting “big opium” gas subsidies worth RM19 billion for IPPs and commercial power sectors.
“Because the government is tied up in a lot of agreements, this cannot just be abolished like DAP says or (Datuk Seri) Anwar (Ibrahim) says,” Dr Chua told reporters today.
“Then Malaysia will be seen by the world as a government that does not honour its agreements. That’s wrong,” he added.
He said some of the agreements were due to lapse and the government could then start negotiations.
Anwar said yesterday that the multibillion-ringgit federal gas subsidy granted to IPPs through “lopsided agreements” would hamper Malaysia’s ability to curb rising inflation.
The opposition leader said the subsidy had not translated into lower electricity tariffs for consumers as Tenaga Nasional Bhd was contractually bound to buy the power at a premium that the IPPs generated.
Dr Chua said today that the government would negotiate its various agreements with IPPs in stages as their contracts had various dates of expiry.
“Some are (signed) 15 years ago, some are 20 years ago,” he said. “So when the time comes for the agreement to lapse, that’s when the government starts negotiating.”
Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob reportedly said the government would announce the decision on controversial subsidy cuts next week, even as pressure mounts for it to call off the exercise amid growing inflation.
Pakatan Rakyat has warned that “haphazard” cuts to subsidies may raise the price of food by as much as eight per cent this year. This would bring the people back to what Anwar described as “the pain of 2008.”
Despite their unpopularity, Putrajaya is expected to ram through the subsidy cuts, having given broad hints last week of the move.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has said the government expects the subsidy burden to double from RM10.32 billion to RM20.58 billion this year.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said fuel subsidies were “like opium” to the economy, and would have to be gradually cut as the initial bill of RM11 billion had soared to RM18 billion this year owing to escalating crude oil prices.

Main Page - FreeMind
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Uses of FreeMind
Current users of FreeMind use it for the following purposes:
Keeping track of projects, including subtasks, state of subtasks and time recording
Project workplace, including links to necessary files, executables, source of information and of course information
Workplace for internet research using Google and other sources
Keeping a collection of small or middle sized notes with links on some area which expands as needed. Such a collection of notes is sometimes called knowledge base.
Essay writing and brainstorming, using colors to show which essays are open, completed, not yet started etc, using size of nodes to indicate size of essays. I don't have one map for one essay, I have one map for all essays. I move parts of some essays to other when it seems appropriate.
Keeping a small database of something with structure that is either very dynamic or not known in advance. The main disadvantage of such approach when compared to traditional database applications are poor query possibilities, but I use it that way anyway - contacts, recipes, medical records etc. You learn about the structure from the additional data items you enter. For example, different medical records use different structure and you do not have to analyze all the possible structures before you enter the first medical record.
Commented internet favorites or bookmarks, with colors and fonts having the meaning you want.

You just need the PC connected to Internet, provide a ID and Password, then you can control their PC.

DEALING with INSULT (forwarded email)
One day Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."
Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"
The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."
The Buddha smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."
"If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy."
The young man listened closely to these wise words of the Buddha. "You are right, o Enlightened One, "he said. "Please teach me the path of love. I wish to become your follower."
The Buddha answered kindly, "Of course. I teach anyone who truly wants to learn. Come with me."
Beautiful Quotes
If you are right then there is no need to get angry
And if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.
Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,
Patience with self is confidence, and
Patience with GOD is faith.
Never Think Hard about PAST, It brings Tears...
Don't Think more about FUTURE, It brings Fears...
Live this Moment with a Smile, It brings Cheers.!!!!
Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to make us or break us,
Choice is ours whether we become victim or victorious !!!
Search a beautiful heart not a beautiful face.
Beautiful things are not always good
but good things are always beautiful.
Remember me like pressed flower in your Notebook.
It may not be having any fragrance
but will remind you of my existence forever in your life.
Do you know, why God created gaps between fingers?
So that someone who is special to you, comes and fills those gaps by holding your hands forever.
