July 15 - Debate : Anwar Vs Shabery Cheek!

It's big story, a debate “fuel duel” has been set up.

...Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek versus PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will face off over the recent fuel price increase.

And it may be shown live on television.

Debate organiser Agenda Daily has received confirmation from both men that they will participate in the debate at 9pm at the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka on July 15. The topic is “Hari Ini Membentuk Kerajaan, Esok Turun Harga Minyak.” (Form a Government today and reduce the price of oil tomorrow).

Ahmad Shabery said that he agreed to the debate as he felt that it was his responsibility to explain government policies to the people.

“This is an opportunity to inform the people of the many misleading and irresponsible statements being made against government decisions. I am ready for the debate,” he said.

COLA Diselaras Kepada RM500 Di Semua Negeri?

Kongres Kesatuan Pekerja-Pekerja di Dalam Perkhidmatan Awam (Cuepacs) mencadangkan agar kerajaan menyelaraskan Elaun Sara Hidup (COLA) pekerja awam kepada RM500 sebulan di seluruh negara.

Presidennya Omar Osman berkata ini bagi mengurangkan beban pekerja dalam menghadapi kenaikan kos harga barangan dan minyak yang semakin melambung.

Pada masa ini, pekerja sektor awam di Kuala Lumpur diberikan elaun sebanyak RM300 manakala di kawasan lain diberikan antara RM100 dan RM200 sebulan.

Omar berkata apabila keadaan ekonomi semakin pulih dengan harga barangan dan minyak menjadi stabil, kerajaan boleh mengurangkan jumlah elaun itu.

Kata Rakyat: eloklah tu.. sekurang-kurangnya kenaikan kadar cola ini dapat membantu kakitangan yang berpendapatn rendah.. selain itu diharap elaun perjalan (T&T) dapat la dinaikkan..
