Alor SeTAR has lost its STAR....again!!!

Alor SeTAR has lost its STAR again....gone to Eternity maybe, this time. LOL!!! Politicians in Alor Setar while their time playing with STARS! Four years ago, it was changed to give it a more modern feel... reach for the star, go for glory, blah, blah, blah..... now it's back to the old name again. BN comes into power...they change name. PAS comes into power...they also change name. What difference? Same bag of stuff!

Plus this PAS Menteri Besar is super into putting up his face everywhere. You see his face plastered all over the town on these small advert boards or banners. Guess this has something to do with the MB's pic not allowed in Federal Buildings. So, he's making sure that people know his face.... not that it matters to most people, I think. But sure is a waste of money. It's like he wants to be recognized. Hardly an attribute of a person who wants to serve in the name of God, right? But then again, who is to fault that....only human. He's only as human as us also. 8) So, can't really blame him to want to plaster his face all over town so that he be recognized, right?

The name change....more money will be spent changing all the signage. Money which can be better spent on other things. But I suppose this will 'menjana ekonomi' for those people in the signage industry. After all too, MIER has readjust their forecast for our economic growth next year. Recession is expected to hit us mid of this year! 8(

As a city, Alor Setar has not seen any improvements under this new state gahmen also. In fact, ever since Alor Setar became a city (since the BN gahmen time), there has been a deterioration of service... Rubbish is collected less frequently; grass is not cut so regularly.....roads also not that well maintained. In name we have a Mayor, but in practise he has hardly brought any improvement. And PAS hasn't done much either, from the looks of things. Money now (and before) was spent on all those study tours overseas to learn how to better manage the city, I supposed. 8(

So, will there be another change of name if the gahmen changes again??? Politics.... PAS...BN...most their politicians seem to come out from the same bag! .... at least where this former of city of STARS is concerned.
