Semua Boleh - A country of U-turns

atms-induced traffic jam at raffles place

A neighbouring country has been observed to have so many u-turns but not on the roads though; but in major political and investment decisions.

Examples of such u-turns:-
  • to sell the national cancer centre to a private company, then reversed
  • to build a s-shaped bridge, then stopped
  • to build one of the largest dam in this region, then stopped
  • to build an airport for budget flights, then reversed
  • politicians going independent yesterday and back to their incumbent party today
  • another gentleman said he will have enough support to take over the government on such such a day - the day came and gone
  • to charge higher petrol prices on foreign cars going into the country and then nothing
Do you know of other example?

Huh? Like this also can meh? Selamat pagi :)

On 26 Feb 2009, the government announced the increase in highway toll charges.

Just one day later, the government did a U-turn again subjecting itself to pressures from within its own "support" base.

Another sad day.
