My Notes On Anwar Ibrahim's Promise Of 20% Oil Royalty To Sabah

Posted: 13 Feb 2012 01:12 AM PST

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been quoted that he would increase Sabah oil royalty from 5% to 20%.

Other opposition leaders like Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan went even further by promising 50%. But in order to achieve this, Dr Jeffrey has to depend on Anwar's support if and when he becomes the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

As an MP from Sabah, I do not have any reason to reject such proposal. After all, Anwar wants to give more funds to Sabah. Or is it?

Unfortunately, I am painfully aware that Anwar has not been fully forthcoming in his proposal to increase oil royalty for Sabah.

Last year, in Parliament, I posed a question that if Anwar increased Sabah's royalty to 20%, could he guarantee that he would not reduce Sabah's existing percentage of allocation in his federal budget for 2013 or in the Eleventh Malaysia Plan?

I reminded the opposition that Sabah had been consistently given biggest percentage of allocation by the federal government both in the Malaysia Plans and its annual budget.

For example Sabah received RM20.3bil out of RM230bil in RMK9 and in First Rolling Plan of RMK10, Sabah received RM10.7bil out of RM98.5bil.

My concern is, while Anwar may increase Sabah's share of the oil royalty, there is no guarantee he may not reduce Sabah allocation in his federal budget 2013 or the 11th Malaysia Plan.

If that is the case, Sabah coffers may end up be the same or even worse off! That is why I asked for a guarantee. None of the opposition MP at that time stood up to reply to my argument.

Increase in royalty for Sabah, Sarawak, Trengganu and Kelantan would easily amount to more than RM10bil a year. (bear in mind Sarawak and Trengganu produce more oil than Sabah).

Anwar knows very well that the additional of  more than RM10bil given to the four oil producing states means RM10bil have to be taken away from the budget of non-oil producing states in West Malaysia.

I do not think Anwar dares to say to the people from the non-oil producing states, "I am sorry, I have to cut your allocation because I need to give more than RM10bil to Trengganu, Kelantan, Sarawak and Sabah!".

The people there will reject him and this is not acceptable to him since he needs their votes desperately to win Putrajaya.

It is then very likely that Sabah may be getting higher oil royalty but in the end will get lower overall funds from Federal Government under Anwar's Prime Ministership.

So far he has not given Sabahans a guarantee that this will not happen! 

You and me know that for every ringgit given to Sabah, Sarawak, Trengganu and Kelantan, that one ringgit must come from somewhere.

The money does not fall from the sky.

Some states must be willing to sacrifice their portion of the federal budget. Some projects in West Malaysia must be cancelled. The question is who and what needs to be sacrificed?

Or will Anwar spend less on security, health, education, infrastructure, public utilities, social etc given the fact he has to spend more on royalty?

Anwar must answer these tough questions so that people understand and convinced.

Remember, Anwar wants to maintain subsidies, refuses to increase taxes, is against higher government's debt and proposes spending more on royalties. How in the world is he going to juggle these finances?

And Sabahans still remember how Anwar as Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister consistently refused PBS' request for higher royalty. Will he now apologize for his "misguided" action?

Pakatan Rakyat has also said that "savings" or "proceeds" in billions of ringgit from their anti-corruption drive and renegotiation loop sided deals will be used to finance the increase in royalty.

As someone who sits in MACC committee, I hope they will succeed. Any effort to eradicate corruption must be supported and encouraged. I am sure Sabahans share the same view as mine.

But my concern is not about the effort to check corruption. It is more about Anwar's rationale to include  "savings from corruption eradication and renegotiating loop sided deals" as part of his government's revenue.

Can Anwar estimate how much yearly savings he gets from anti-corruption effort? Can he comfortably project such revenue with a high level of accuracy? Would it be sensible to use the figure to plan his national budget?

Can Anwar force those IPPs and highway toll concessionaires to renegotiate their agreements immediately after he swears in as Prime Minister? Or will he face prolonged and protracted battle which could take years to settle?

If yes, will his budget revenue projections fall short and hence disturb his spending plans including payment of additional royalty?

To be honest, I have never heard any government around the world using projected "savings from corruption" as the basis of preparing its national budget. That is utterly irresponsible. The budget will be in a mess.

Any "savings" due to anti corruption drive should be construed as "bonus" revenue, and should not be included in the estimation of government's budget revenue.

So when Anwar says he will finance the royalty increase from "corruption eradication savings", one has to be worried.

My view is if Anwar intends to stick to his promise, he has no choice but to eventually cut allocations meant for the non-oil producing states (Johor, Pahang, Melaka, N. Sembilan, Selangor, Perak, Kedah, Penang, Perlis and Wilayah Persekutuan). This is a very possible scenario!

Of course, the other alternative is to cut allocations to critical sectors like education, rural infrastructure, health and security across the board, which is equally a disastrous scenario.

Either way, the non-oil producing states and Malaysians in general, deserve to  know the facts. The next sitting of Parliament in March will be the best avenue for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to clarify to the nation. 


Failing which, I will be asking him directly because I do not want my fellow Sabahans to fall for trickery and deceptive political promise.

Lakonan PR

Semalam, Nik Abdul Aziz dengan telah menyuruh Anwar saman WSJ atas kenyataan menyokong keselamatan negara Israel sekiranya kenyataan beliau didapati diputar belit.

Saya melihat perkara ini sebagai satu lakonan sekiranya tindakan susulan tidak diambil oleh salah satu pihak.

Dalam Politik hari ini, banyak tindakan PAS sudah tidak lagi releven kepada perjuangan Islam, sebagai contoh terdekat, isu Hassan Ali yang telah dipecat disebabkan pertahankan akidah islam yang di permainkan oleh MB Selangor.

Dalam hal menyokong Israel pula, tiba-tiba kita lihat Nik Aziz bertindak mahu menyokong islam walhal sebelum ini, isu dalam negeri seperti Lina Joy murtad yang disokong Anwar tidak pula diendahkab oleh beliau.

Ada banyak lagi peristiwa yang melibatkan akidah orang islam terjadi sekitar 3 tahun ini, tetapi tidak dipedulikan oleh beliau kerana mahu mendapat sokongan daripada KAUM yang selama ini tidak menyokong PAS.

Suka saya nak ingatkan kepada PAS agar lebih prihatin dalam menjaga islam bersama, bukan hanya bertindak menjaga Islam seperti musim durian, nak berbuah baru nak jaga untuk mendapat hasilnya, islam bukan barang mainan untuk kamu.

Kalau DAP sanggup keluar dari negeri Kedah hanya disebabkan mahu pertahan kandang babi, PAS sepatutnya berani menarik keluar Selangor dari Pakatan, tetapi kalau pikirkan Selangor itu lubuk dana, setidaknya mereka nyatakan keluar PR dari Kelantan untuk menunjukkan betapa serius mereka menjaga Islam.

Saya menyeru kepada semua orang islam agar buka mata dan buka hati untuk melihat sejauh mana orang islam sudah dilacurkan oleh Anwar dan PR demi untuk mebdapat kuasa politik.

Sekian.

BANYAK JENIS KETAGIHAN DI MALAYSIA.

Posted: 20 Oct 2011 09:20 AM PDT

CHINA Press terbitan 28 Mei 2011 mengupas mengenai jenis-jenis ketagihan rakyat Malaysia di halaman C15.

Artikel bertajuk 'Ketagihan rakyat Malaysia ada banyak jenis' yang ditulis oleh Lee Rang disiarkan di ruangan perbincangan umum rakyat.

Laporan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) baru-baru ini yang mendedahkan rakyat Malaysia yang ke-10 tertinggi meminum arak adalah amat memeranjatkan.

Cuba kita fikirkan, bilangan penduduk negara ini tidak ramai dan ia turut dikatakan sebuah negara Islam tetapi satu pertiga rakyatnya meminum arak.

Bagaimanapun, banyak pihak yang meragui ranking yang diumum oleh WHO ini berikutan harga arak di negara kita dikenakan cukai sehingga menyebabkan harganya menjadi antara yang paling mahal di dunia. Terdapat juga kemungkinan sebahagian arak berkenaan diminum pelancong yang ramai ke negara ini.

Selain itu, ramai rakyat Malaysia ketagih subsidi, yang jika tidak dibasmi akan menjadi seperti penagih dadah yang teruk. Demi masa depan negara ini, kerajaan perlu menghentikan ketagihan ini dengan menaikkan harga barangan subsidi seperti gula dan minyak.

Jika orang awam rasa gelisah dan tidak tenteram, itu adalah reaksi semula jadi buat sementara waktu seperti yang dilalui penagih dadah. Jangan takut, apabila sudah biasa nanti, ia tidak akan apa-apa.

Sementara itu, banyak ketagihan lain yang dialami rakyat Malaysia yang berpunca daripada terlalu banyak keistimewaan yang diberikan. Contohnya ketagihan kroni, ketagihan tongkat, ketagihan rasuah dan ketagihan untuk menyelewengkan kuasa.

Terdapat juga ketagihan pihak tertentu supaya kerajaan mendukung mereka sehingga menyebabkan semua rakyat tidak boleh menggunakan kekuatan diri sendiri secara adil untuk bersaing.

Kerana ketagihan ini, kumpulan cerdik pandai menghilang diri ke luar negara, pelaburan asing semakin berkurangan dan kualiti kehidupan rakyat semakin mengundur ke belakang. Jika ketagihan ini tidak dibasmi, Malaysia akan muflis.

KETAGIHAN TERKINI:
