MyKad lucky draw

On Tuesday, home affairs minister Radzi Sheikh Ahmad announced that the 'Jom tukar dan menang' lucky draw for MyKad (new IC) applicants be withdrawn. He said it was silly (actually he said rubbish) to reward people for doing what they are supposed to do. That's the problem with Malaysians ,if you want them to do something, offer something in return. Which is bloody unfair to law abiding citizens like me and you. The former minister (now natural resources and environment minister) Azmi Khalid said he will give a written statement soon on why the lucky draw was held. The third draw supposed to be held in November 2005, was postponed indefinitely, because the NRD announced a RM10 fine for late collection of their MyKad. The contest was overtaken by events, such as the Cabinet reshuffle in February 2006 and the minister Azmi had no intention to stop the contest. He left it to the discretion of the incoming minister Radzi. In Kangar, Perlis CM Shahidan Kassim asked minister Radzi not to be harsh. If he is not in favor of the previous minister's actions, just issue a statement to scrap the contest. Don't call it stupid or rubbish. Why, Datuk Radzi, after all you, Datuk Azmi and Datuk Shahidan are state brothers from Perlis. UPDATE : Datuk Azmi admitted that he had postponed the lucky draw and forgot to update his successor Datuk Radzi. His ministry officials had forgotten too. This minister must be having more pleasant things on his mind,other than just his job. (He just got married at that time to a hot tv personality.)
