DAP confirms that a PR meeting comprising of DAP, PKR and PAS top leaders were held in DAP Headquarters in the evening of 10 October 2011(en/cn).

Posted: 12 Oct 2011 07:01 PM PDT

The PR meeting reaffirmed the common policy stand of the three parties as contained in the PR Common Policy Framework 2009, Buku Jingga 2010 and PR Joint Statement 28th September 2011 that hudud is not the common agenda of PR for the forthcoming general election, which will also be the policy basis of PR after the next general election. Any change of policy can only be reached by common consensus with the agreement of all the three parties.

The Enakmen Kanun Jenayah Syariah II Negeri Kelantan (1993) was discussed at the meeting. At the meeting, DAP stressed the party's consistent stand in not agreeing with the hudud law and explained that the hudud law is not in line with the Federal Constitution. The meeting concluded with both DAP and PAS agreeing to disagree on the hudud law.

As the hudud law is not mentioned in the PR Common Policy Framework or in Buku Jingga, it is therefore not PR policy. Only policies mentioned in the Common Policy Framework, Buku Jingga or agreed to by all 3 parties will be implemented in a PR government.

Amongst DAP leaders present were National Chair Karpal Singh, Lim Kit Siang and myself; PAS leaders present included PAS Deputy President Mat Sabu, Secretary-General Mustafa Ali and Kelantan EXCO members whilst Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim, PKR Deputy President Azmin Ali and Perak PKR Chair Dr Mohd Nur Manuty represented PKR.

民主行动党秘书长兼巴眼区国会议员林冠英于2011年10月12日于吉隆坡发表声明:

民主行动党确认,民联三党即行动党、公正党和伊斯兰党高层领袖已于2011年10月10日傍晚,在民主行动党总部举行民联会议。

民联会议再次确定三党的共同政策立场,即依据民联2009年共同政纲、2010年小橙书及2011年9月28日民联联合声明,伊斯兰刑事法将不会是民联在来届大选的共同议程,而上述三份文件也将是民联在来届大选的政策基础。任何政策的改变,必须在三党同意、达致共识的情况下才可以落实。

民联在会议上讨论了《1993年吉兰丹伊斯兰刑事法令二》。在会议中,行动党强调我们的坚定立场,即不同意推行伊斯兰刑事法,并说明有关法令违背联邦宪法。上述会议也总结,行动党和伊斯兰党在伊斯兰刑事法的课题上,双方都同意彼此可以有不同意见(Agree to Disagree)。

由于伊斯兰刑事法并不在民联共同政纲或小橙书内,因此,它不是民联政策。只有在共同政纲、小橙书或三党同意的政策,才会在民联政府内推行。

出席民联会议的行动党代表为:全国主席卡巴星、林吉祥及我本身;伊斯兰党代表为其署理主席末沙布、总秘书慕斯达法阿里、吉兰丹行政议员,而公正党代表为拿督斯里安华、署理主席阿兹敏、霹雳州主席莫哈末奴尔。

BN’s 2012 Election Budget Relies On Deficit Spending And Borrowed Loans To Give Money To The People That Has Still To Be Repaid By The People(en/bm/cn)

Posted: 12 Oct 2011 01:55 AM PDT

Unlike PR State Governments That Funds Aid To The Poor From A Surplus Budget, BN's 2012 Election Budget Relies On Deficit Spending And Borrowed Loans To Give Money To The People That Has Still To Be Repaid By The People.

Whilst giving out cash aid to the poor and Malaysians are welcome, questions are raised as to where the Federal government is going to find the money, when even Petronas is expected to contribute only RM28 billion next year or RM2 billion in dividends less as compared to 2011. The numbers just do not add up when the Federal government still expects revenues to increase from RM183 billion this year to RM186 billion next year despite the lower dividend payments from Petronas.

Unlike PR state government that funds cash aid to the poor from a surplus budget, BN's 2012 Election budget relies on deficit spending to buy votes. Many economists have warned that the 2012 Budget risks committing the country to the path of unsustainable spending at a time when the global economic outlook appears to be a recession.

Dr Marie-Aimee Tourres, a senior research fellow at the faculty of economics and administration at the University of Malaya, said that the budget’s “goodie strategy” was not linked to any productivity commitment. Clearly this Election Budget is designed to please voters. At the same time, DAP does not find any measures to combat corruption or plug leakages so that resources can be released for public benefit.

For this reason, the Federal government's target of reducing the budget deficit from RM45.5 billion this year to RM43 billion in 2012 or 5.4% to 4.7% of GDP is unlikely to be reached. Revenue collection is overly optimistic and may result in higher federal government debt to fund the deficit spending.

The Federal government debt to GDP(Gross Domestic Product) ratio has increased yearly from 53.1% in 2010, 53.8% in 2011 and 54.8% in 2012. Federal government debt rose by 12% in 2011 to RM456 billion from RM407 billion in 2010. To ensure debt sustainability, the Federal government has imposed a 55% ratio to GDP rule. This 54.8% ratio to GDP by 2012 hovers dangerously close to the 55% Federal government debt to GDP rule.

More worryingly, Bank Negara's Annual Report 2010 revealed that Malaysia's household debt at end of 2010 was RM 581 billion or 76 per cent of GDP. Malaysia has the second-highest level of household debt in Asia, after South Korea.

The Malaysian household debt service ratio was 47.8 per cent in 2010 or almost half of a household's income goes to repaying debts. A debt service ratio of more than 33% would be considered unhealthy. As a rule banks would not lend money to those whose total servicing of interest exceed one third of their income. Clearly Malaysians are becoming an indebted nation with the Malaysian government leading the way by giving the people money from borrowed loans.

This is one essential difference between BN and PR state governments. PR does not give money to the people from borrowed money, which ultimately has still to be paid by the people. PR state governments give money from budget surpluses where the people or their children are not required to repay back in future.

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP dan Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng pada 12.10.2011 di Pulau Pinang.

Tidak seperti kerajaan-kerajaan negeri Pakatan Rakyat yang memberikan dana bantuan kepada golongan miskin melalui lebihan bajet, bajet pilihan raya BN untuk 2012 bergantung kepada defisit perbelanjaan dan pinjaman kewangan yang akhirnya perlu dibayar oleh rakyat.

Walaupun bantuan wang tunai kepada golongan miskin dan rakyat Malaysia dialu- alukan, timbulnya persoalan di manakah Kerajaan Persekutuan akan mencari wang apabila Petronas dijangka hanya akan menyumbang dividen sebanyak RM28 bilion pada tahun ini ataupun RM2 bilion kurang berbanding tahun 2011. Jelas bahawa unjuran Kerajaan Persekutuan bahawa pendapatan akan meningkat daripada RM183 bilion tahun ini kepada RM186 bilion tahun depan adalah tidak munasabah memandangkan dividen daripada Petronas dijangka berkurang.

Tidak seperti Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat yang memberikan bantuan tunai kepada golongan miskin daripada lebihan bajet, bajet pilihan raya BN 2012 pula hanya bergantung kepada perbelanjaan defisit untuk meraih undi. Ramai pakar ekonomi telah memberi amaran bahawa risiko bajet 2012 membawa negara kepada perbelanjaan yang tidak mampan kerana dibelanjakan ketika ekonomi dunia mengalami kemelesetan.

Dr Marie-Aimee Tourres, seorang felo penyelidik kanan di fakulti ekonomi dan pentadbiran Universiti Malaya, berkata bahawa bajet ‘buah tangan’ ini tidak dikaitkan dengan mana-mana komitmen produktiviti. Jelas Bajet Pilihanraya ini direka untuk meraih pengundi. Pada masa yang sama, DAP tidak dapat nampak sebarang usaha untuk memerangi rasuah atau ketirisan dalam pengurusan sumber negara.

Atas sebab itulah, sasaran Kerajaan Persekutan untuk mengurangkan defisit bajet dari RM45.5 bilion tahun ini kepada RM43 bilion menjelang tahun 2012 atau 5.4 peratus kepada 4.7 peratus daripada KDNK mungkin tidak dapat dicapai. Pungutan hasil adalah terlalu optimistik dan boleh menyebabkan peningkatan hutang Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk membiayai perbelanjaan defisit ini.

Ratio hutang Kerajaan Persekutan kepada KDNK (Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar) telah meningkat setiap tahun daripada 53.1 peratus pada tahun 2010, 53.8 peratus pada tahun 2011 dan 54.8 peratus pada tahun 2012. Hutang Kerajaan Persekutuan pula telah meningkat sebanyak 12 peratus pada tahun 2011 kepada RM456 bilion daripada RM407 bilion pada tahun 2010. Bagi memastikan kemampanan hutang, Kerajaan Persekutuan telah menetapkan nisbah 55 peratus kepada KDNK. Justeru, nisbah 54.8 peratus kepada KDNK menjelang tahun 2012 ini sangat berbahaya kerana sudah menghampiri 55 peratus peratus kepada KDNK.

Lebih membimbangkan, Laporan Tahunan Bank Negara 2010 mendedahkan bahawa hutang isi rumah Malaysia pada akhir tahun 2010 adalah sebanyak RM581 bilion atau 76 peratus daripada GDP. Malaysia mempunyai tahap hutang isi rumah yang kedua tertinggi selepas Korea Selatan.

Nisbah bayaran hutang isi rumah rakyat Malaysia adalah 47.8 peratus pada tahun 2010, yang bermakna bahawa hampir separuh daripada pendapatan isi rumah digunakan untuk bayaran hutang. Secara umum, nisbah bayaran hutang yang melebihi 33 peratus dianggap tidak sihat. Bank juga mempunyai syarat tidak akan memberi pinjaman jika lebih daripada satu pertiga daripada pendapatan mereka digunakan untuk bayaran hutang. Jelas rakyat Malaysia telah membentuk negara yang banyak berhutang, terutamanya apabila Kerajaan Malaysia memberikan wang yang diperolehi daripada pinjaman.

Ini adalah satu perbezaan antara BN dan Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat. Pakatan Rakyat tidak akan memberikan wang kepada rakyat daripada wang yang dipinjam di mana pada akhirnya, rakyat masih perlu membayar wang tersebut. Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat memberi wang daripada lebihan bajet di mana rakyat atau anak-anak mereka tidak perlu membayar balik wang pada masa akan datang.

民主行动党秘书长兼巴眼区国会议员林冠英于2011年10月12日发表声明:

民联政府在拥有预算盈余的情况下发放援助金给穷人,而国阵却是借钱来派钱,打肿脸皮充胖子,在开销赤字、欠债的情况下,派钱给人民,最终还是要由人民来还债。

我们欢迎政府发放现金援助给贫穷人士和马来西亚人,问题是,联邦政府去哪里找钱?就连国油也预算明年只能掏出280亿令吉或20亿令吉的股息,比2011年更少。尽管国油股息降低,联邦政府却预算政府税收将从今年的1830亿令吉增加至明年1860亿令吉,这让人无法理解。

民联政府在拥有预算盈余的情况下发放援助金给穷人,而国阵却是借钱来派钱,打肿脸皮充胖子,在2012年预算赤字的情况下,派钱买票。很多经济学家已经发出警告,在全球经济看来没有好转之际,2012年预算可说是冒着国家开销无法持续的风险。

马大经济与行政学院资深研究员玛丽亚艾美说,预算案的"糖果策略"与生产力没有联系。很明显地,这是为了讨好选民的大选预算案。同时,行动党也找不到联邦政府决心肃贪或防止疏漏的借施,让资源基于公众利益而发放。

因此,联邦政府看起无法达致削减赤字的目标,他们本来算计把今年的财政赤字455亿令吉减少至2012年430亿令吉,或是国民生产总值的5.4%减少4.7%。联邦政府对税收的估计过于乐观,可能导致联邦政府为了弥补开销赤字,而欠下更多债。

联邦政府债务对国内生产总值的比例逐年增加,2010年为53.1%、2011年为53.8%及2012年为54.8% 。联邦政府的债务也从2010年的4070亿令吉增加12%至2011年4560亿令吉。为了维持债务可承担能力,联邦政府规定债务比例不能超过国民生产总值的55%。2012年的债务对国内生产总值的比例却是54.8%,徘徊在联邦政府所订下的债务限制边缘。

更令人担忧的是,国家银行2010年度报告揭露,截至2010年底,马来西亚的家庭债务高达5810亿令吉,或占国民生产总值的76%,成为亚洲国家债务第二高的国家,仅次于韩国。

2010年马来西亚家庭偿债比例为47.8%,或者说近乎一半的家庭收入是用来还债的。偿债比例若超过33%都是不健康的现象。按章行事的银行往往不会把钱借给那些债务占收入超过三分之一的贷款者。很明显地,随着政府带头借钱来派给人民,马来西亚人已经成为负债累累的国民。

这便是国阵与民联州政府的根本差别。民联政府不是借钱来派钱,因为这样最终还是要叫人民来还债。民联政府是从财政预算盈余中,拨款发放给人民,人民及他们的子子孙孙无需在未来还债。

“三天打鱼两天晒网的工作进度”,怡保市政厅加承包商把人民当傻瓜。

Posted: 12 Oct 2011 08:27 AM PDT



图:行动党与厂商和使用者对"三天打鱼两天晒网的进度"和缺乏安全实施的桥梁工程表示抗议。黄文标(左1),林碧霞(右4)。

怡保华林市孟吉头桥梁工程从今年5月中开始进行,道路封闭至今已5个月。但工程因没有良好规划导致7月中停顿没有动工,民主行动党因此"三天打鱼两天晒网的进度"与当地厂商和交通使用者向怡保市政厅深表不满。

参与抗议的行动有行动党德彬丁宜区州议员黄文标,万里望区州议员林碧霞,党要,厂商和当地工作的人士。厂商也告知行动党代仪士他们有前往市政厅追问有关工程的来龙去脉,但市政厅职员却以是电线问题,如果不满可以自己出钱处理。嚣张的工作态度,加上工程无言无辜停顿和带来生意上的损失。实在令厂家对市政厅表示失望。

黄文标指此耗资5百万的建桥梁工程,在关闭道路1年期间,中途却可以因长时停顿而给承包商白领薪水?这不单让厂商和道路使用者不公平,对地方政府乱花纳税人的钱也是错误做法。如果工程顺利市政厅根本不需拿1年时间来关闭道路,让承包商游手好闲。在先进国要是发生这种事政府是要赔钱给经济上损失的厂商。所以当局因该关注此事并马上指示承包商完成工作,不然就需作出赔偿。

林碧霞表示她在霹雳州议会有通过书面问题来得到有关工程的来龙去脉,但是州议会却没有回答此提问。这令人感觉有关当局黑箱作业刻意隐瞒工程细节。对于目前工程地点交通使用者冒险使用,又没有安全告示牌和围栏,显示市政厅和承包商没有关心人民的安全。这种不负责任的心态因该受到各方的谴责。

MAS Must Sell Firefly To Protect Competition

Posted: 12 Oct 2011 01:30 AM PDT

Under the share swap signed on August 9 2011, AirAsia's main shareholder Tune Air Sdn Bhd will swap 10 per cent stake in the budget carrier for 20.5 per cent share of the ailing flag carrier in the agreement called a "Comprehensive Collaboration Framework."

The situation in MAS was so bleak that the Finance Ministry had in Parliament last week argued that the government had no choice but to go ahead with the share swap between AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines (MAS) to allow the national carrier to move forward, especially since the latter made losses of RM770 million for the first half of this year.

There were many critics, especially from the Barisan Nasional backbenchers had argued that the deal is against national interest. The Member of Parliament for Kinabatangan and BN Backbenchers deputy chairman had for example likened the deal to "ikan bilis makan ikan jerung", where "small fry" Air Asia should not be allowed to swallow up "big fish" MAS.

The critics seem to have forgotten the fact that Air Asia has overtaken MAS in terms of stock market capitalization on Bursa Malaysia since October 2010. The gap has since widened to the extent that Air Asia is now worth RM8.8 billion practically double the size of MAS at only RM4.5 billion.

The key issue in the exercise is not the fact that our national interest in MAS has been compromised. The real concern for the rakyat is the fact that the public interest will not be protected with the share swap between the 2 key domestic airlines in the country.

Over the past 10 years since Tune Air took over the management of Air Asia from DRB Hicom, Malaysians in nearly all major cities have enjoyed spectacular benefits from the competition created with MAS. The prices for domestic and regional flights were reduced by more than 50% allowing travel for millions of Malaysians resulting in exponential increase in domestic tourism as well as hundreds of millions of ringgit in travel expenses.

The competitive scene however, changed drastically when the share swap took place resulting in the creation of a collusive duopoly which will naturally seek to protect the interest (profits) of each other, instead of being dictated by market forces to lower prices.

Since the swap is now a fait accompli, there is little or no likelihood of reversal. Hence what is more important will be the actions of the Government moving forward to ensure that competition is protected in the Malaysian airline industry.

Pakatan Rakyat has in its Alternative Budget for 2012 called for the break up monopolies and block cartels so as to ensure lowest possible market prices for ordinary Malaysians. In line with the Pakatan Rakyat agenda, I have called for the Government to compel MAS to sell its budget air service, Firefly Sdn Bhd to the highest available bidder in my speech to debate the Budget for 2012 yesterday in Parliament.

This will ensure that competition and real alternatives are available to ordinary Malaysians when seeking to travel domestically and regionally especially in the budget sector, which allows more people to fly. Competition in the airline industry had benefited Malaysians and our economy immensely over the past decade. Therefore competition must be preserved, cartels and collusions crushed to ensure that all Malaysians and our economy continue to benefit.
