PM - Pensioners are in tears and wont let go his hands

Now that the euphoria of the durian runtuh of the 2012 budget has abated, let us now get back down to earth and face reality. Undoubtedly this is a buy election budget, as evidenced by the speed the PM took to the streets (in this case the rural areas) to gauge the reaction to his durian runtuh. Peopel say that self praise is no praise. However our spoilt child PM doesn't seem to learn from this, as he goes round praising himself by saying that wherever he went people, especially the elderly "had welcomed him with warm handshakes, with some “not even wanting to let go”. In Ijok, he said, pensioners whom he had sat next to during breakfast had “tears in their eyes” when they thanked him for remembering them in the Budget 2012. My, my, such emotions, and when these pensioners convert the 2% out of their meager pension into cash, their tears in their eyes will be tears of grief. As someone mentioned the 2% increase for those whose pensions falls below RM 600 would probably get him another banana leaf rice. A better offer would be to stagger or tier the annual increase rate, such as giving those below RM1000 , an increase of 6%, above RM1000- 4% and those above RM2000, 2% 
Finally, if the PM is receiving such warm reception over his budget offer wherever he  goes, then he should immediately dissolve parliament and call for a fresh mandate. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.
