**The following post was forwarded to me and I am reproducing here in toto , courtesy of Lita."Guess how much this 'IPOH' signage cost?
According to Malaysian Insider, Ipoh City Council confirmed that a total of RM800,000 was spent on 2 of these giant signs.
That's RM400,000 per sign. Or RM100,000 per letter.
The Pakatan Rakyat (PR) ex-state govt said that the palace proposed the signs (and proposed 4 signs rather than the current 2). PR rejected it. BN usurped the state. Signs were then built and RM800,000 changed hands.
Look... I'm no construction engineer or signage expert, so I'm just pulling assumptions out of my ass. But I'm pretty sure RM800,000 can put a lot of stuff on the slope of those hills. Even if these signs were made of virgin marble, it wouldn't cost that much. Heck.. even if they were made from virgins, it wouldn't cost that much.
So, I'm asking. PR should be asking. The people of Perak should be asking...

WHO WAS THE CONTRACTOR WHO POCKETED THE RM800,000? IS HE LINKED TO THE PALACE OR ANY POLITICIAN?
HOW MUCH LESS WOULD IT HAVE COST UNDER A COMPETITIVE TENDER?"

Day light highway robbery!!!
This matter was hightlighted sometime back. Why is the MACC silent on this. Argh! biasa lah!. Refomasi!!!!
The signages inside is made of solid gold with diamond.. but coated with white paint outside perhaps... :-)
As usual, the standard operating reply from MACC will be No Transgression. That means no case. That means all's well that ends well. End of the story.
You guys do not get it.You see the sign itself may have cost 1% of the figure. The 99% of the cost is recovered over time because the Goodwill that the sign will create is 100 time more than the actual cost of RM800,000.
This Goodwill thing is used by many governments around the world to get into projects that have no justification. And when the books do not balance then by crative accounting the acoountant will come up with this idea to give Goodwill its value. There you have it the books are now balanced and we can go on to the next project. Ramalx
hey, dat's NOT the end of the 800k yet, some more got 'up keeping & servicing ' monthly lagi till...till
the end time !!
This 800K is small pittance for the state mah! Small amount will appear in print BUT those billions and thousand of hectares given to connected people CANNOT be exposed. There are kept in files under " official secret acts " and remain a secret from others but an open secret amongst their goons.
We must make a difference when we ever vote again in Malaysia. Get only those who are for the people and work for all.
According to Malaysian Insider, Ipoh City Council confirmed that a total of RM800,000 was spent on 2 of these giant signs,that is why this is famous.

Splendidly done is better than comfortably said.
Distress ferments the humors, casts them into their adapted channels, throws bad redundancies, and helps species in those secretive distributions, without which the body cannot subsist in its vigor, nor the incarnation act with cheerfulness.
