MARIAM MOKHTAR SAYS... [Deputy Education Minister Mary] Yap said that free education would not be appreciated and was tacitly implying that people only appreciate the true value of things they pay for themselves. If this is the case, the largess of the taxpayer bestowed upon the self-styled First Lady of Malaysia (FLOM), to fund her jet-set lifestyle and her massive entourage of sponging freeloaders, must be stopped. The ministerial spouses and their hangers-on must be made to pay for their own flights, meals, hotels and extra baggage allowances. Many families have taken second mortgages, pawned the family jewels and sold off ancestral land to fund their children’s education because they want to free their children from poverty. If free education is denied to Malaysians, then the unnecessary expenses of FLOM and the Umno-putras must cease. Malaysians are not ungrateful. Yap should tell Datuk Seri Najib Razak to stop giving away money and sacks of rice just before an election. She should tell him that freebies are never appreciated!
