We're tax payer


I was appalling to know the status of my application for car permit last night. The buyer of my car permit told me that the application is still pending after couple weeks. He shared a insider news with regard to delaying car permit. He is close to a former army general who is currently take a top position of one resourceful division. He said, currently our civilian government busy with the peace making mission to ethnic minority group. In exchange of halting weapons, the government have to provide thousand car permits to those group who sign peace treaty. Previously, all ethnic fighting group are using illegal cars for their internal transport. After making peace agreement with government, they may not be able to ride such illegal cars on the roads and demanded the authority to give them free car permits. So, the government provide them car permits more than what they need so that they can resell extra permit to generate funds to raise their region's development projects.

As a result, the government hold the application of car permit by tax payers who are sea job and shore job workers like me. If the news is right, it's not a correct move because the authority should have known who deserve such permit more. We paid income tax for government's development. The ethnic groups were fighting government forces for centuries for their political believe. They occasionally purposely destroy public infrastructures to cut government's reinforcement to frontiers. Regardless, their destructive activities are not welcomed by all people who love peaceful life. But now, suddenly after they signs on cease-fire agreement, they are being given several opportunities by government. I don't jealous with the situation that favour ethnic group. But I want authority to understand our feelings.

It's not definitely right to halt our permit application without reason to pave a way for ethnic car permits. Since there are a lot ethnic fighting groups, the government will not afford to use double standard on this issue. Once they give one ethnic group, others may also raise their chance. Then the government will find it difficult to handle. At the same time, pressing the civilian who are not trouble-maker is not wise. It should be level play ground unless tax payers are getting more chances. Such rumors will make our permit attract no buyers. At the end of the day, we're going to be suffer from the wrong movement of authority. As a member of public, I just want to expect for a fair justice generated by our civilian government. The government should not give promises easily if they are not realistic. It's better keep quiet than giving smell of waves to people. In the long run, people will condemn such unfair activities. In general, our political and office holders should keep their words as it'll make them different from the rest.
