Last 20 years = RM30 million

9th MP = RM46 million (but not specifically mentioned in the 9th MP)

Last week = RM20 million (is this part of the RM46 million?)

Additionally Rm16.2 million for partially aided schools (is this part of the RM46 million?).

If we total up everything, we get  Rm112 million for the last 20 years and up to end of 9th Malaysian Plan (2010). We can round it up to Rm150 million for those ad-hoc expenses and allocations. So, Rm150/22 years = RM6.8million per year.

after all the brouhaha over KIMMA joining PPP, now we know KIMMA have a crisis. a person who claims to be President and who was kicked out of KIMMA is the one who made the initial statement.

KIMMA has made its stand that it is ‘100% Muslim party” and would only join UMNO. But isn’t UMNO for Malays only? Why not join MIC? 😆 I mean you can be an Indian and still be a Muslim, no? But you definitely can’t change from an Indian into a Malay overnight. It would take few generations, I guess. » Read more: KIMMA not joining PPP says real president
