A promise for all Malaysians?

So I was busy burping after a heavy breakfast of nasi lemak and browsing the Star Online when I came upon this news article:

Promise of affordable living by Abdullah

KUALA LUMPUR: Affordable food and clothes, homes, cars, education, medical treatment and even communication services – that is the promise to all Malaysians by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

“The ordinary people must be able to enjoy and afford these six items at a reasonable price and only then will there be a meaning to us striving to achieve developed nation status,” Abdullah said in launching the National Consumer Day celebrations at Bukit Jalil here yesterday.

“Such a status is not only meant for those who have the means. A developed nation must be for all.”

I was like, "WHOA!" and then I went "WOOT!"

Pak Lah is thinking about the people man! THE PEOPLE! THE RAKYAT!

The news article continues:

The Prime Minister in emphasising his assurances made these comments on the six item:

FOOD and clothes:

“There should be adequate supply of food and clothes which are reasonably priced.”

Homes:

“House prices cannot be too expensive as everyone should be given the opportunity to own affordable homes or rent them at affordable cost.”

Cars:

“Consumers should also be able to buy cars at reasonably low prices because it had become a necessity for most people today.

“Otherwise, public transportation services should be of high quality and the cost should remain low.”

Education:

“It should be affordable so that it will not prevent the poor from improving their lot.”

Medical treatment:

“There must be cheap and quality drugs and not expired ones. The cost of treatment must also be affordable.”

Communication services (including Internet connection):

“Every Malaysian must be able to enjoy such modern services,” he said.

Right on Mr. Prime Minister sir! Straight to the point! BRAVO!

So when can we start seeing some changes?
