Do you want to go to London for a holiday and can't afford it?
Well, there is an easy and free solution to that. Just sign up for the army and you may get to be sent to England with free food, free lodging and plenty of free time to tour the whole of England at the government's...nay...more like, at our (the taxpayers') expense!
Oh, wait! I'm sorry, the offer is only valid for those eligible to join the Royal Malay Regiment and from the looks of it, the offer has been snapped up. It was reported by Bernama here.
Shucks! No free two-month holidays for the rest of us unlucky ones... :'-(
Our government just can't help but spend our money on frivolous things like sending our army personnel to guard, of all things, Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace and the Tower of London.
Eh, I thought you all very pandai to sneer at the Western culture but now it is perfectly alright to spend our money, RM1.9mil of it to be exact, to send our army there?
What, pray, are they going to learn there? Learn to dress in 'ceremonial temperate dress' and strut around holding M16s? Yes, I am sure they will learn a lot from that two month stint there, NOT!
Sometimes it really do boggles the mind at how the government fritters away our money.
