Koh Tsu Koon Should Be Constructive By Delivering On His Promise Of A New RM4 Billion Investment In A Global Excellence Centre By A US Company Instead Of Trying To Politicise And Sabotage The Greater Penang Masterplan(GPM)

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 11:26 PM PDT

Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 15 June 2011.

Koh Tsu Koon Should Be Constructive By Delivering On His Promise Of A New RM4 Billion Investment In A Global Excellence Centre By A US Company Instead Of Trying To Politicise And Sabotage The Greater Penang Masterplan(GPM).

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon should be constructive in his role to help Penang by delivering on his promise of a new RM4 billion investment in a Global Excellence Centre by a United States company instead of trying to politicise and sabotage the Greater Penang Masterplan (GPM). Koh had announced on May 16 2011 that Prime Minister Dato Sri Najib Abdul Razak would be revealing an extraordinary investment by an American company in Penang when Najib visited US last month.

Koh claimed that he played a major role as an adviser to the American company in making its decision to invest RM4 billion to set up a Global Excellence Centre in Penang. However to-date there is no news and concrete evidence of this new RM4 billion investment in a Global Excellence Center by the American company.

The Penang state government would appreciate Koh's efforts to deliver on this important RM 4 billion promise, which would spur innovation and the growth of Penang as a hub of research and development. Instead of delivering on his RM4 billion promise, Koh has launched an attack against the State government for not delivering our Penang Blueprint.

I had explained that the Penang state government had completed our preparation for our Penang Blueprint but had decided to shelve it to work together with Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala on the GPM. The GPM is an initiative by Najib to make Penang the third megapolis in Malaysia.

Like the Penang Blueprint, the GPM is an all-encompassing report that covers not just industry and the economy but also ordinary people and sustainable living. As a historic collaborative effort by the state and federal government, the GPM demonstrates that the state government can have a mature working relationship with the Federal government for the benefit of the people of Penang.

To demonstrate our sincerity, the Penang state government had shelved the completed Penang Blueprint so that joint discussions and inputs can be freely given from both sides in private, unhindered by political pressures and without any one party imposing their views on the other. For the GPM to work, it must not come only from one side but a genuine collaborative effort from both sides. Unfortunately this sincerity from the state government has been used by Koh to attack the state government for failing to deliver the Penang Blueprint.

Koh clearly sees the GPM as a threat to his efforts to take back Penang and is therefore trying to politicise and sabotage it. The Penang stage government does not want to play political games on the GPM as it can affect the future of 1.6 million Penangites.

For this reason, much as we are tempted to call Koh's political bluff by challenging Koh to resign by producing and making public the Penang Blueprint report, we have refrained from doing so. Exercising our responsibility to governing Penang well and in a mature manner is more important than scoring political points to prove that Koh is lying.

After all, Koh's performance or non-performance during his tenure as Penang Chief Minister was already decided by the people of Penang in the 2008 general elections. However to prove Koh wrong, the state government invites him to view our Penang Blueprint report at my office. Regrettably Koh has not made this appointment to view the Penang Blueprint report when he can do so but has chosen to continue to attack the state government politically and try to sabotage the GPM.

The Penang state government will release the Penang Blueprint report after the GPM is finalised.

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang pada 15 Jun 2011 di Komtar, George Town.

Koh Tsu Koon Sepatutnya Lebih Konstruktif Dalam Mengotakan Janjinya Berhubung Pelaburan Baru Bernilai RM4 Bilion Dalam Penubuhan Pusat Kemerlangan Global Oleh Syarikat Amerika Syarikat Daripada Cuba Untuk Mempolitik Dan Mensabotaj 'Greater Penang Masterplan' (GPM).
________________________________________________________________

Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon sepatutnya lebih kontruktif dalam memainkan peranannya bagi membantu Pulau Pinang dengan mengotakan janjinya melalui pelaburan baru sebanyak RM4 bilion melalui penubuhan Pusat Kecemerlangan Global oleh syarikat Amerika Syarikat daripada cuba untuk terus mempolitikkan dan mensabotaj isu "Greater Penang Masterplan" (GPM). Koh telah mengumumkan pada 16 Mei 2011 bahawa Perdana Menteri, Dato Sri Najib Abdul Razak akan mendedahkan mengenai pelaburan luar biasa oleh sebuah syarikat Amerika Syarikat di Pulau Pinang ketika lawatan Najib ke AS bulan lepas.

Koh menegaskan bahawa beliau memainkan peranan penting sebagai penasihat kepada syarikat Amerika Syarikat tersebut dalam membuat keputusan berhubung pelaburan sebanyak RM4 bilion untuk menubuhkan Pusat Kemerlangan Global di Pulau Pinang. Walau bagaimanapun, sehingga kini masih tiada sebarang berita dan bukti nyata berhubung pelaburan baru sebanyak RM4 bilion untuk membina Pusat Kemerlangan Global oleh syarikat Amerika tersebut.

Kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang akan menghargai usaha Koh untuk mengotakan janjinya membawa pelaburan sebanyak RM4 bilion, yang mana akan memacu kepada inovasi dan pertumbuhan Pulau Pinang sebagai pusat penyelidikan dan pembangunan. Di sebalik janjinya untuk membangunkan pelaburan sebanyak RM4 bilion itu, Koh telah melancarkan serangan terhadap Kerajaan Negeri berhubung penyampaian 'Penang Blueprint'.

Saya telah menerangkan bahawa Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang telah menyiapkan laporan 'Penang Blueprint' tetapi memutuskan untuk bekerjasama dengan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Idris Jala untuk GPM. GPM adalah inisiatif daripada Najib untuk menjadikan Pulau Pinang sebagai bandaraya megapolis ketiga di Malaysia.

Seperti 'Penang Blueprint', GPM bukan hanya merangkumi sektor industri dan ekonomi tetapi juga memberikan kelebihan kepada rakyat dan kehidupan yang mapan. Bagaikan ikatan bersejarah iaitu kerjasama antara Kerajaan Negeri dan Kerajaan Persekutuan, GPM mendemonstrasikan bahawa Kerajaan Negeri boleh menjalin hubungan kerjasama yang matang dengan Kerajaan Persekutuan demi kepentingan rakyat Pulau Pinang.

Bagi membuktikan ketelusan kita, Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang telah mengenepikan 'Penang Blueprint' yang telah disiapkan lebih awal supaya perbincangan bersama dan pandangan dapat diberikan secara bebas oleh kedua- dua pihak secara peribadi, tanpa halangan oleh tekanan politik dan tanpa dipengaruhi mana-mana parti dalam membuat keputusan. Bagi membolehkan GPM dilaksanakan dengan jayanya, ia tidak boleh datang dari satu pihak sebaliknya kolaborasi yang tegar perlu diwujudkan antara dua-dua pihak. Malangnya ketelusan dari Kerajaan Negeri telah digunakan oleh Koh untuk menyerang Kerajaan Negeri bahawa gagal dalam penyampaian 'Penang Blueprint'.

Koh melihat GPM sebagai ancaman terhadap usaha untuk merampas semula Pulau Pinang dan oleh itu cuba untuk mempolitikkan dan mensabotaj perkara tersebut. Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang tidak mahu terus bermain permainan politik berhubung GPM kerana ia akan menjejaskan masa depan 1.6 juta rakyat Pulau Pinang.

Atas sebab itu juga daripada terus termakan dengan permainan politik Koh, kita boleh mencabar supaya Koh letak jawatan dengan hanya membentangkan laporan 'Penang Blueprint' kepada umum tetapi kita menahan dan tidak berbuat demikian. Bagi kita, mempraktikkan tanggungjawab kita dalam mentadbir Pulau Pinang dengan lebih baik melalui cara lebih matang adalah lebih penting daripada mendapat markah politik dengan membuktikan bahawa Koh berbohong.

Lazimnya, prestasi Koh secara langsung atau tidak ketika beliau memegang jawatan sebagai Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang sudah ditentukan oleh rakyat Pulau Pinang ketika pilihanraya pada tahun 2008. Namun untuk membuktikan Koh adalah salah, Kerajaan Negeri mempelawa Koh untuk melihat sendiri laporan 'Penang Blueprint' di pejabat saya. Sayangnya Koh tidak pernah membuat sebarang temu janji untuk melihat laporan 'Penang Bluerprint' ketika beliau boleh berbuat demikian sebaliknya memilih untuk terus menyerang Kerajaan Negeri dan mempolitikkan isu ini serta mensabotaj GPM.

Kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang akan mengumumkan laporan 'Penang Blueprint' sebaik GPM diputuskan.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2011年6月15日在槟城乔治市光大发表的声明:

许子根应该有建设性地履行他早前说的"美国公司注资40亿令吉在槟设立环球卓越中心"的承诺,而不是企图政治化及破坏大槟城蓝图计划。

首相署部长丹斯里许子根博士应该扮演他建设性的角色,协助槟城履行他所说的"美国一家公司注资40亿令吉在槟设立环球卓越中心"的承诺,而不是企图政治化及破坏大槟城蓝图计划。许子根在2011年5月16日宣布,指首相拿督斯里纳吉将会在上个月到访美国时,作出重大宣布,并称这投资是由一家已在槟城设厂的美资厂家所注资的。

许子根当时声称,他在有关公司决定注资40亿令吉在槟城设立一个环球卓越中心的过程中,扮演着顾问的重要角色。无论如何,截至目前为止,尚没有任何消息或确凿的证据证明真的有这项美资厂40亿令吉环球卓越中心的新投资。

这项40亿令吉投资,将会带动槟城在革新及成为研发中心的发展,因此槟州政府将很感激许子根在实践这项承诺上所作出的一切努力。可惜,许子根不只没有实践他这个40 亿令吉的承诺,反之,他还对州政府展开了一系列的攻击行动,只因州政府没有公开槟城发展大蓝图。

我已经三番四次作出解释,州政府早已完成了槟城发展大蓝图的准备,不过因为要让步给和联邦共同合作的大槟城蓝图计划而搁置了槟城发展大蓝图,以便能诚恳地与首相署部长拿督斯里依德利斯 共同草拟一份大槟城蓝图,把槟城打造成马来西亚第三个大城市,也是首相纳吉的努力之一。

与槟城发展大蓝图一样,大槟城蓝图是一个囊括各领域,包括工业、经济、市民及永续生活的报告。大槟城蓝图计划历史性的联邦与州政府合作的努力显示,州政府为了人民的利益,可以与联邦政府建立成熟的合作关系。

为了展示我们的诚意,槟城州政府搁置了已完成的槟城发展蓝图,以便在不受政治压力、没有任何一方施压另一方的情况下,私下共同讨论及收纳双方的意见。要让大槟城蓝图运作,单方面的努力是不足够的,它需要双方面真诚的合作才能推动。遗憾的是,州政府这方面所展示的诚意,却被许子根作为攻击州政府不公开槟城发展大蓝图的理由。

很明显的,许子根把这项大槟城发展蓝图计划,视为他欲夺回槟州政权的威胁,所以才试图政治化及破坏这项计划。槟州政府不会在大槟城蓝图计划上玩弄政治,因为这将会影响 160万槟州人民的未来。

为此,我们其实可以直接提供及公开槟城发展大蓝图,进而借此就许子根的政论述,挑战他辞职,但是我们忍住不这么做。以成熟的态度行使我们管理槟州的责任,比证明许子根撒谎来捞取政治筹码来得重要。

许子根在任槟州首长的期间,到底有没有表现,相信人民已在2008年的全国大选中作出了决定。 然而,为了证明许子根是错的,州政府诚邀他到我的办公室阅读我们的槟城发展大蓝图。遗憾的是,他迄今都没有与我的办公室约定翻阅槟城大蓝图的时间,反而选择继续政治化地攻击州政府,企图破坏大槟城蓝图计划。

只有在大槟城蓝图计划定稿后,槟州政府才会公开槟城发展大蓝图。

No-show on minimum wage bill

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 12:23 AM PDT

Source :- Free Malaysia Today

Kay Wee Tan | June 13, 2011

The minimum wage bill was introduced more than a year ago but Parliament continues delaying debating the bill.

KUALA LUMPUR: The minimum wage bill which was scheduled to be discusssed in Parliament did not happen again.

Earlier, Human Resources Minister Dr S Subramaniam had said the bill will be tabled today but again it was a no-show.

Klang MP Charles Satiago said, "The minimum wage bill has been proposed for almost one year. But the government continues delaying debate on the bill. And this is worrying."

The government fiexed the poverty line at RM720 but 34% of Malaysian workers are earning less than RM700.
Workers whose income is below the poverty line will be facing difficulties due to inflation and the increase in the prices of essential goods.

"Besides the workers, the rising numbers of single mothers too will be affected and they will soon be living in poverty." said Persatuan Sahabat Wanita Selangor (PSWS) president Irene Xavier.

Former president of Malaysia Trades Union Congress Syed Shahir Syed  Mohamud said that the number of urban people living below the poverty line is also increasing.

"There is no point in being proud about our economy and GDP while citizens are living below the  poverty line."

 


Push decent wages, not minimum wages

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 12:21 AM PDT

Push decent wages, not minimum wages

Members of a roundtable on minimum wage today proposed that the government set up a Decent Living Wages Council to replace its planned National Minimum Wage Council.

Klang MP Charles Santiago, who helped put together the roundtable, said it is important to move away from the minimum wage description as it could be used as an excuse to set unreasonably low wage levels.

He explained that if the council stays focussed on minimum wage, there is nothing to stop the government from imposing wage levels that are on par with the average national poverty level.

pakatan cij parliament pc 131108 charles santiagoCharles took the example of security guards, whose basic salaries range from RM700 for those in urban areas to RM500 for guards working in rural areas.

He said if the focus stays on the minimum wage, it would defeat the purpose of having such a council as they could simply decide to take the current maximum wage level as the standard minimum wage.

“…This is nonsensical, because they already receive that salary. That’s why we propose for the council to instead focus on decent living wages,” he said at a press conference in the Parliament lobby.

The roundtable recently proposed a “reasonable minimum wage of between RM1,500 to RM2,000 to assist the estimated 1.35 million Malaysians who earn a monthly salary of under RM1,000.

Government not serious

Charles also hit out at the government for not including its minimum wage council proposal in this Parliamentary meeting, despite Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Idris Jala’s announcement that the council would be set up by the end of this year.

Charles said setting up such a council will “take a long time”, but pointed out that the bill is not listed on the Order Paper for this 10-day Parliamentary meeting.

“If the government is serious, the bill should have come to Parliament today so we can debate it in this meeting. This is very regrettable because the Human Resources Minister (Dr S Subramaniam) said the bill will be tabled this month.

“The public and civil societies have no idea about the contents of the bill. It is clear the government is not taking parliament seriously on minimum wage,” he said, adding that he hopes the bill will be tabled as soon as possible.


DAP: Where is Bill on minimum wage?

KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — The DAP wants the government explain why Parliament has not tabled a Bill on a minimum wage for this session, charging that it had reneged on its promise that the Bill would be presented for debate this month.

The party's Charles Santiago said today the Bill should have been presented during the current parliamentary session, but the Order Paper showed otherwise.

According to Santiago (picture), Pemandu chief Datuk Seri Idris Jala had last week said the government would enact a minimum wage policy by the end of this year.

"If that is the case, then the Bill should have come to Parliament today so that debates can take place. The government has also said that the Bill will come this month to be debated.

"This shows that the government is not serious on a minimum wage. We need to debate the Bill, need time for civil society groups to offer their suggestions," he told reporters today.

The Klang MP said the government-proposed National Wage Consultative Council should be renamed "Decent Living Wage Council."

Santiago said a "decent" minimum wage for workers in the country should be between RM1,500 and RM2,500, and that this would help reduce the debt of workers as well as tackle subsidy cuts.

Primer Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak aims to increase Malaysia's gross national income to RM1.7 trillion by 2020 from RM660 billion for 2010.

His administration has targeted this year to implement a minimum wage policy, but has faced resistance from employers who worry it will hamper business.
