Be that as it may be, recently he changed a few signs here and there (to reflect a new government??), costing half a million. It was NOT one million, just half a million okay? But belt-tightening measure spending money just to change unnecessary signs?
His cabinet (and DAP) colleague Anthony Loke was by far more efficient, saving RM38.5 million in dissolving SPAD.

But before I could send Anthony an email to congratulate him on his belt-tightening measures, he cancelled all unpaid automated enforcement system (AES) summons (3.1 million cases) prior to August 31 this year, that is worth RM465 million.
Wow, RM465 million - that's almost half a Billion ringgit.
