Woah... Relax. There's nothing serious about my comment. You should read the link that I've provided earlier then you can relate to what I've said. Relax lah... And next time, please don't pass judgement about other people being patriotic or whatsoever. If you want to express your opinion, just express it. No need to judge other people. We are not here to judge. Ok, bro?
PETRONAS is looking into changing the dividend payment structure to the Govt. from a fixed amount to profit-based percentage. Seems fair enough although profit can be "manipulate" by expenditure. What I've said earlier is just something that passed my mind - it was not meant to be serious in one way or another.

Understood. I read the link as well and I agree with what the writer wrote. I mean PETRONAS is the golden goose and at the rate the Government is milking the cash in terms of Taxes and Dividends, we are going to kill the golden goose. We need to make sure that Petronas is able to survive longer for the next generation and if the government is taking 75% of the profit, there won't be any cash to do all the things necessary to ensure the company can survive for another 40-50 years.
The thing is, our government operating cost (that's the civil servant salary and perks and all those rents they have to pay for all the buildings and all the bonuses and the new remuneration scheme they are implementing for the civil servant) are so high that politically, Najib will never agree to it. Who is going to pay for the operating cost? And why in the hell do we have 1.2 million civil servants?
That's another discussion altogether.
Hi guys,
For me personally, i agreed with Petronas's doing and would like to see what's happen next to the gov...
The gov has been siphoning/songlap profit of Petronas.
Even lends money to TNB and feeds money to government....
Can i say if takda petronas takda la negara kita ni yang masyhur?
Seniors, dont flame me please....
