Small Talk: Steven's Expressions is politically-neutral. Don't assume that I'm backing up whichever side because I'm atas pagar. Really.
It's not like I'm having the privilege to travel in the Benz, right? Gonna blog bitch about arriving to school late soon. Very soon.
By the way, read more updates on Perdana Vs Benz at the bottom of this post.
I'm not gonna comment much because I'm leaving all those to the readers. Let's see what happened from the initial stage to how the saga looks like now.
Starting neh.. Datuk Ahmad Said - the Menteri Besar of Terengganu, almost gave the PM and Deputy PM a heart-attack when he announced the purchase of 14 (fourteen) Mercedes Benz E200 Kompressor cars to replace the Proton Perdana for the excos.
Datuk Ahmad Said - Terengganu's Menteri Besar
He then explained it. Saying that "In the long run, Mercedes cars are cheaper to maintain and could also save us fuel costs."
Deputy PM, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak beh kuar (in Hokkien - tak boleh tahan) and insisted that 'all ministry senior officials and state government excos must use national cars instead of foreign vehicles'.
Fuh! Then eeeeeeeeeeeeveryone also mau keppo about the matter. Fry it big like frying char kuey teow. Tok lor.. Let them tok.. See what can they do other than tok tok tok..
The national car producer also buey tahan liao. Change all Perdana to use Benz, mana boleh ini macam??! Kenot lah humiliate national car like that. Tak boleh tak boleh. Cepat cepat check, how come Ahmad (Said) said the maintenance fee so pharking expensive?? Then, they said no warranty claimed wor! Apa macam??
Haiyo.. Susah lah ini macam.. Ahmad said maintenance many expensive; National car company said boh koh neng lah!! (impossible lah).
That time Mr PM diam diam ubi berisi still. Terengganu state excos happy lah. Can naik E-Class wor. Gimme ten Happy also not that happy leh..
They happy happy, someone tarak happy. Because ACA lai liao lor... Last time they happy, now ah...don't know liao lu~
Tak habis happy lagi, Mr PM finally tunjuk belang a little - ajok Ahmad Said to tok. Just when Ahmad Said was seen grining his way out of the office (after tokking with the PM) whilst announcing that the purchase of Benz is OK, our beloved PM belit a little.... Terengganu excos must use Perdana wor...
Said OK. Then tak OK. Hauken! (China Press, July 26th headline)
Apa ini macam? So potong steam lah... (for the YBs lah, not me)
Then he also mentioned that the Benz will only be used for foreign VIPs. Aiseh, how many VIPs will visit Terengganu sangat? Fourteen Benz leh. You think Bean's car ah?
Eh eh ehhhhhh..!! Got lah. Menteri-menteri from all around Malaysia will start visiting Terengganu liao. Because can naik brand new E-Class leh! Sape tak mau??
Brilliant idea man! Tabik Mr Ahmad Said. Tabik sprrrrrrrrrring!! This is how Visit Terengganu 2008 can be successful, unlike the previous Visit Malaysia '07 (yg tak jadi jadi tu..)
But then... Who cares?
Terengganu Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage Committee chairman Datuk Za'abar Mohd Adib's arrived at the Malaysian Flora Fest 2008 on Saturday in his new Mercedez-Benz despite the PM's decision that the Mercedez would only be used by foreign dignitaries. -TheStar.com.my
You tell me lah. Who cares?
People bising here, people over there also mau change car.. Change to Toyota Camry wor.. Eh, have to pay royalty to Terengganu lah. Copy our idea leh.. Mana boleh ini macam weh... People change they also want to change.
Not only Perdana's maintenance in Terengganu was expensive, in Perak also damn expensive leh. How come ah?? Because RM2.70 per litre ah?
ACA, seng muk lah. Buat kerja. Hehehe...
Eh, tak habis cerita lagi tu.. Mr Idris (ex-Terengganu Menteri Besar, also, Datuk Ahmad Said's predecessor) said want to sue Terengganu Government wor. Used to be his government, right? Wah.. Are you thinking what I'm thinking??
But why sue, you asked? Because 'his reputation as Jerteh assemblyman has been smeared due to the statement,' mentioned his assistant. What statement pulok??
Statement regarding the maintenance cost of his Perdana lor.. The Terengganu MB said RM235,123.08 was used to maintain Idris' Perdana. But then the EX-MB said nolah, where got! RM131,449.83 only lah..
And so, he said he MIGHT sue the gahmen. How ironic.
I wonder what will be come out at The Star Online tomorrow. "Ahmad Said says sue ma sue lor" as headline??

***Updates added on July 27th***
ohmee Gawd!!
He's forgiving and forgetting! Aww... That's so sweet of him. Let's give our ex-Terengganu MB a big kiss. *muacksss*
Meanwhile, we will have plenty of shows to watch as the saga goes on. TV3's movies also not this interesting. Seems like someone's working now. Spanco is going down, I suppose?
RM 80-pharking-million to maintain the gahmen's Perdana cars ah? Siao eh!! Better keep that money to send me to space lah...
Proton also start working liao. And when they start working on the case, someone will eat the dead cat. See? One of the Terengganu dealers hits the jackpot. Sell fake spare parts du..don't pray pray.. Sell to the gahmen some more leh! Wah.. Book the wrong casket man...
And I bet it's not over yet.
Because of Datuk Tony Fernandes, now everyone can fly. And because of Datuk Ahmad Said, everyone also wants to change car.
The MB should have filed and registered the patent and idea of 'changing gahmen's fleet of official cars'. If not ar, now he can earn extra pocket money to get a new private Mercedes liao.
See? Terengganu changed, Selangor also want. After that, Penang also gatal hati.
So who's next?

***Second Update on July 27th***
Well I hope someone won't feel like a foolish donkey when he reads this.
So what's next? Another talk with the Terengganu MB? I don't know~

Someone is in trouble. Deeeeep trouble! ***Updated on July 28th***
On behalf of the excos of the State of Terengganu, I'd like to express my heartiest gratitude and gratefulness towards the ACA for the ACA flers are doing their job, and at the same time, indirectly 'forces the state excos to use the Mercs', because the ACA seized eight of 16 Perdanas from the excos.
What to do? Use Mercs lah! I just spotted one of the 14 Mercs in town today. Damn classy man. Maybe I should have dreamt to be a state exco huh?
Naah.. I still prefer flying.
Ehh ehhh!! Mercs for use of foreign VIPs only, right?? Izit whole nation or only in Terengganu? If it's the latter, then cepat cepat invite the Chelsea players here, can sit brand new E200 leh..
A ride in the brand new Mercedes Benz E200 sedan after the time-wasting game against the
The Chelsea flers will fly back to London and tell alllllllllll their friends and families how great Terengganu is, and I bet they'll come back again and *puff* lots and lots of income!! And *double puff* more Mercs on their way!!
Who knows we might see a banner dedicated to Terengganu state reading "Visit Terengganu today and experience the best Mercs ride in town!" on Chelsea FC's website? Okay, maybe they might come out with even more creative sentences.
Or maybe not.
Then the players can keep enjoying our satays and become as fat as the
Oh shit I'm going out of the topic, why wouldn't anyone pull me back to shore?
Anyway, the ACA arrested three buggers who are being suspected as the culprits behind the RM1.07 million maintenance bill for Proton Perdana owned by the Terengganu gahmen.
See? I told you someone's not gonna be happy.
And thanks to Datuk Ahmad Said, someone's getting into deep shit. As my friend once mentioned, "Actually, there are two sides for everything. It depends on how we judge it."
LOL. love this post!
