RM13 Billion Additional Spending Or 8% Increase Over And Above 2011 Budget Of RM 163 Billion For Only First Half Of 2011 Highlights That Subsidy Cuts Were Caused By The Failure Of BN To Control Spending And Cut Down Waste (En/BM/Cn)

Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister And DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 15 June 2011.

RM13 Billion Additional Spending Or 8% Increase Over And Above 2011 Budget Of RM 163 Billion For Only First Half Of 2011 Highlights That Subsidy Cuts Were Caused By The Failure Of BN To Control Spending And Cut Down Waste.

The tabling of a Supplementary Supply Bill in Parliament yesterday seeking RM 13 billion of additional spending for only the first half of the year due or 8% increase over and above the 2011 Budget of RM 163 billion, highlights that subsidy cuts were caused by the failure of BN to control spending and cut down waste. The people are also paying the penalty for BN's failure to control spending when drastic subsidy cuts of sugar, electricity, natural gas and diesel have not brought about any improvements in our budget deficit.

The biggest additional spending is to cover transfer payments of RM 6 billion under Treasury. The social sector accounted for the second largest quantum of RM3.62 billion.

Fishermen and consumers are asking the question why there is no improvement in government finances when they have to pay more now for diesel, sugar and other basic commodities. Has the government not said that subsidy cuts are necessary to cut down expenditures that the government can no longer afford?

The failure to make any cuts in gas subsidies from Petronas of RM19 billion yearly has only increased public unhappiness, when the greatest beneficiaries of these RM19 billion annual gas subsidies are Indpendent Power Producers(IPPs). Up to end 2010, Petronas has extended about RM 131.3 billion in gas subsidy to both the power and non-power sectors.

The greatest beneficiaries of the RM 131.3 billion gas subsidies are IPPs who also benefit from a guaranteed buyer through the compulsory Power Purchase Agreement signed by TNB. In 2009, TNB received RM 5.4 billion in gas subsidies, IPPs RM7.3 billion and the non-power sector RM6.8 billion.

Normally TNB would not be raising electricity tariffs with such huge subsidies. But the RM5.4 billion subsidies enjoyed by TNB were offset by being forced to purchase power they do not need at high prices that only profits IPPs, This has caused Malaysia to record a reserve margin that is the highest in the world of 52.6% in 2010.

A think-tank had estimated that IPPs would have to charge 80% higher than their Singapore counterparts if natural gas were sold to them at market rates, due to their bloated and inefficient cost structures. Research for Social Advancement (Refsa) estimated that local IPPs would need to raise their average prices 3 times from the present 25 sen/kWh to 74 sen/kWh if subsidies were removed. In comparison, Singapore power producers charge 41 sen/kWh.

Malaysia is having the worst of both worlds due to BN's bad governance. By reducing subsidy, there are inflationary pressures causing prices to rise and hurting the poor. And yet subsidy cuts do not improve efficiency and competitiveness nor cut down budget expenditures as the IPPs are still allowed to enjoy gas subsidies. The only losers are 27 million ordinary consumers who are not IPPs. Perhaps BN needs a strong reminder whether it is the IPPs or ordinary Malaysians that determine the direction and destiny of the country.

Kenyataan Akhbar Oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Dan Setiausaha Agung DAP, Lim Guan Eng Pada 15 Jun 2011 di Kuala Lumpur.

Perbelanjaan Tambahan Sebanyak RM13 Bilion Atau Peningkatan 8 Peratus Dari RM163 Bilion Bagi Setengah Tahun Pertama Belanjawan 2011 Menunjukkan Faktor Pemotongan Subsidi Adalah Disebabkan Kegagalan Barisan Nasional (BN) Untuk Mengawal Perbelanjaan Dan Mengurangkan Pembaziran.

Pembentangan Rang Undang-undang Perbekalan Tambahan di Parlimen semalam yang memohon peruntukan tambahan RM13 bilion untuk setengah tahun pertama tahun ini atau peningkatan 8 peratus ke atas Belanjawan Tahun 2011 sebanyak RM163 bilion menunjukkan bahawa pemotongan subsidi adalah disebabkan oleh kegagalan BN untuk mengawal perbelanjaan dan mengurangkan pembaziran. Rakyat terpaksa menanggung hukuman daripada kegagalan BN untuk mengawal perbelanjaan apabila pemotongan subsidi gula, elektrik, gas asli dan disel dilakukan secara drastik dan tidak membawa kepada sebarang peningkatan terhadap defisit belanjawan kita.

Perbelanjaan tambahan terbesar ialah sebanyak RM6 bilion untuk bayaran pindahan di bawah kementerian kewangan. Sektor perkhidmatan sosial pula mencatat perbelanjaan kedua terbesar iaitu sebanyak RM3.62 bilion.

Para nelayan dan pengguna terus menyoal mengapa masih tiada sebarang pembaharuan dalam sistem kewangan negara apabila mereka terpaksa membayar lebih sekarang untuk penggunaan disel, gula dan kegunaan asas yang lain. Adakah kerajaan pernah mengatakan bahawa pemotongan subsidi adalah perlu untuk mengurangkan perbelanjaan yang kerajaan tidak mampu ditanggung lagi?

Kegagalan untuk membuat pemotongan subsidi gas daripada Petronas iaitu sebanyak RM19 bilion setahun hanya akan mewujudkan rasa tidak gembira umum, apabila penerima keuntungan terbesar tahunan sebanyak RM19 bilion subsidi gas adalah Penjana Tenaga Bebas (IPP). Sehingga akhir tahun 2010, Petronas telah meluaskan sebanyak RM131.3 bilion dalam subsidi gas untuk sektor tenaga dan bukan tenaga.

Penerima manfaat terbesar daripada RM131.3 bilion subsidi gas sudah tentulah IPP yang turut menerima manfaat daripada jaminan pembelian melalui Perjanjian Pembelian Tenaga yang ditandatangani bersama dengan TNB. Pada tahun 2009, TNB menerima RM5.4 bilion untuk subsidi gas, para IPP menerima RM7.3 bilion dan sektor bukan tenaga sebanyak RM 6.8 bilion.

Lazimnya, TNB tidak akan menaikkan tarif elektrik dengan subsidi yang sangat besar ini. Tetapi RM5.4 bilion subsidi yang dinikmati oleh TNB akan diimbangi oleh desakan untuk membeli janakuasa yang tidak diperlukan dengan harga yang tinggi yang hanya menguntungkan para IPP. Ini telah menyebabkan Malaysia mengalami margin simpanan elektrik yang tertinggi di dunia iaitu 52.6% pada tahun 2010.

Para pemerhati menjangkakan bahawa para IPP akan mengenakan caj sebanyak 80 peratus lebih tinggi berbanding caj yang ditawarkan oleh Singapura sekiranya gas asli yang dijual kepada mereka mengikut harga pasaran, disebabkan lambungan harga dan ketidakcekapan kos penstrukturan. Pusat Penyelidikan Untuk Kemajuan Masyarakat (REFSA) menganggarkan bahawa para IPP tempatan perlu menaikkan caj purata sebanyak tiga kali ganda iaitu 25 sen/ kWh kini ke 74 sen/ kWh sekiranya subsidi dimansuhkan. Sebagai perbandingan, bayaran tenaga kuasa Singapura adalah 41sen/kWh.

Malaysia memiliki prestasi terburuk di dunia disebabkan oleh pentadbiran buruk Kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN). Dengan pengurangan subsidi, desakan inflasi akan menyebabkan kenaikan harga barang dan membebankan rakyat miskin. Tambahan pemotongan subsidi tidak akan meningkatkan kecekapan dan daya saing mahupun mengurangkan perbelanjaan kerana para IPP masih dibenarkan menikmati subsidi gas. Yang tewas pastinya 27 juta rakyat Malaysia yang bukannya barisan IPP. Mungkin BN memerlukan seseorang yang boleh mengingatkan mereka bahawa sama ada para IPP mahupun rakyat Malaysia yang akan menentukan hala tuju dan masa depan negara.

槟州首席部长兼民主行动党秘书长林冠英2011年6月15日(星期三)于吉隆坡发表文告:

政府在在今年上半年增加130亿令吉附加预算,或相等于增加2011预算8%,证明了国阵削减津贴的理由,源自开源节流的失败。

政府昨日在国会提呈法案,为政府上半年的支出追加马币130亿令吉预算,等同于本年度预算1630亿令吉的8%,此举显示,国阵开源节流失败,以致于还要削减津贴,让人民承担国阵开源节流失败的恶果,当白糖、电费、天然气、柴油的津贴都被政府砍掉以后,竟然都无法为政府预算案赤字带来丝毫进步。

在追加的预算当中,最大比一笔支出是财政部的60亿令吉,社会领域则占第二,达到36亿2000万令吉。

渔民和消费者要问的是,为何政府在砍掉柴油、白糖以及种种民生必需品补贴之后,财务状况竟然没有丝毫进步,政府不是说因为政府无法再继续负担庞大津贴,所以削减津贴势在必行吗?

国油每年190亿令吉天然气补贴的最大得益者就是独立发电厂业者,政府不砍这190亿恐怕只会导致民愤。截至2010年为止,国油已经为能源或非能源领域提供了1313亿元的天然气津贴。

这1313亿天然气津贴的得益者为独立发电厂,他们从国能签下的强制能源购买合约底下获益。2009年,国能得到54亿天然气津贴,独立发电厂73亿,非能源领域则是68亿。

正常而言,国能不会在享有如此高额津贴的情况下提高电费。但是,却因为被迫向独立发电厂高价购买不需要的电源,导致54亿津贴通通付诸流水。同时导致马来西亚的备用电量在2010年高居全球榜首,达到52.6%。

义腾智库(Refsa)估计,以我国独立发电厂现有臃肿、效率低落的成本结构来看,即使把天然气以市价卖给新加坡的独立发电厂,我国独立发电厂的售电价恐怕还是会比对方的高出80%。该智库估计,假设政府取消天然气津贴,国内独立发电厂将会把现有的电价提高三倍,从每千瓦25仙提高到每千瓦74仙;相对而言,新加坡的能源业者只会索取每千瓦41仙的费用

在国阵糟透了的治理底下,马来西亚陷入凄惨状况,一方面削减津贴,但同时又有通膨压力导致物价上涨,让穷苦百姓苦上加苦。而且,削减津贴并没有提升政府的效率与竞争,也没有转预算赤字为收入,因为独立发电厂依然坐享天然气津贴。唯一的输家就是2700万普通消费者。我们或许需要再度提醒国阵,独立发电厂业者与普通百姓之间何者才能决定这个国家的方向与命运。

物价涨薪水不起百姓受苦 工人集会促拟最低薪金法

Posted: 15 Jun 2011 08:03 PM PDT

Source: Merdeka Review

 

作者/本刊翁慧琪 Jun 15, 2011 04:09:39 pm

【本刊翁慧琪撰述/苏晓枫摄影】政府迟迟不落实最低薪金制,人民又为物价高涨所苦,约60人今天到国会抗议,并呈备忘录予人力资源部,促政府马上草拟《最低薪金法令》,以便工人可享有最低马币1500元的薪水。

受 压迫人民阵线(Jaringan Rakyat Tertindas,JERIT)和马来西亚社会主义党(PSM)今天在国会号召集会和提呈备忘录给政府,促政府马上草拟《最低薪金法令》(Akta Gaji Minima),他们也非议政府欲设立的全国薪金咨询理事会无法确保落实最低薪金制。

社会主义党财政西华拉占(左图)表示,他们 今天希望提交备忘录给首相纳吉、在野党领袖安华、人力资源部部长苏巴马廉(S.Subramaniam)、马来西亚劳工与外劳国会连线 (Malaysian Parliamentary Caucus for Labour and Migrant Workers),以及后座议员委员会。

西华拉占指出,政府所提出的全国薪金咨询理事会,没有权力、只是研究和给政府建议,没有执法权力,所以无法确保能够真正实行最低薪金。

副主席莎拉丝华迪(M.Sarasvathy)则强调,员工所冀望的最低薪金至少可达马币1500元,而非低于贫穷线的目标700元。她希望,政府能够尽快实行,而非让人民观望已经执行最低薪金制超过十年的邻国,我国的贫富悬殊却只有逐渐扩大。

他们在记者会后,把备忘录递交给在野党的代表人民公正党总秘书赛夫丁(Saifuddin Nasution)以及马来西亚国会劳工与外劳阵线的代表古拉(M.Kulasegaran)。两人稍后也递交了备忘录给人力资源部的代表。

两组织不满物价飙涨和基本设施费用扬升,生活费水涨船高,但是员工薪资却没变,指责这对人民不公平,因为物价上升而薪资照旧,人民如何生活下去。

他们在文告中表示,政府有意逃避责任,草拟《全国薪金咨询理事会法案》而非拟定《最低薪金法令》,所以他们认为政府实际上是为来届大选演戏兼搞噱头。

集会一度受阻

大约上午10时15分左右,马来西亚人民之声(Suaram)协调员娜莉尼(E. Nalini)和马来西亚社会主义党全国总秘书兼加影市议员阿鲁茨万(S.Arutchelvan)等20人,聚集在通往国会路(Jalan Parlimen)的路口。

他们遭警方挡下,阿鲁茨万向金马警区警长卡迪(Karthik W.)表示,他们之前已经致函给国会的议长,要求10名成员入内呈交备忘录,不过卡迪说明自己只接到指示,国会仅允许两人入内。

阿鲁茨万过后联络马来西亚社会主义党(PSM)党中央委员兼和丰区国会议员杰亚古玛(Jeyakumar Devaraj)说明情况。

在上午10时30分左右,社会主义党和受压迫人民阵线所带领的近60名代表们开始喊口号,抗议政府没有落实《最低薪金法令》,反而有意实行《全国薪金咨询理事会法案》(Akta Majlis Konsultasi Gaji)。

他们站在路旁一边喊口号一边举起白布和纸皮,抗议道"物价涨!薪水不起!"、"我们要什么?最低薪金制!"、"部长富贵!员工穷困!",手上则拿着要求"最低薪金1500元"、"不要与员工玩政治"、"国阵骗员工"等布条。

上午10时50分左右,杰亚古玛带着多名民联国会议员徒步到国会路的路口,与众人会合,同时表明会带着10名代表进入国会递交备忘录。

木 威区国会议员国会议员倪可汉、瓜拉雪兰莪国会议员朱基菲里(Dzulkefly Ahmad)、巴生国会议员查尔斯圣地亚哥(Charles Santiago)、武吉干当国会议员尼查(Nizar Jamaluddin),以及峇吉里区国会议员余德华,引领社会主义党财政西华拉占(Sivarajan)为首的10名马来西亚职工总会(MTUC)、马 来西亚学生与青年民主运动(Dema)代表进入国会。

虽然一度在国会大门前被阻,但是经过国会议员与保安人员交涉后,他们才顺利进入,并在国会走廊召开记者会。

称六月提呈但不见踪影

政府曾承诺在六月提呈《全国薪金咨询理事会法案》,以设立制定最低薪金制的咨询理事会,然而这个法案并没有在本次国会会期排期提呈。

民主行动党巴生国会议员查尔斯圣地亚哥(Charles Santiago)早前在记者会上表示,如果政府真的有意要落实最低薪金制,相关法案理应在今天提呈国会,以便能够在这次的会议辩论。 【点击:薪金理事会法案未见踪影 民联议员质疑政府诚意!】

人力资源部长苏巴马廉分别曾在今年二月五月提及,将在六月之前和本次国会会议向国会提呈《全国薪金咨询理事会法案》,以取代《1947年薪金制定理事会法令》。

另外,首相署部长兼表现管理和传递单位(PEMANDU)行政总裁依德利斯(Idris Jala)亦曾在四月间表示,最低薪金的课题预计在今年年杪前有解决方案,然而,此事迄今"只闻楼梯响"

【本刊翁慧琪撰述】政府曾承诺在六月提呈《全国薪金咨询理事会法案》,以设立制定最低薪金制的咨询理事会,然而这个法案并没有在本次国会会期排期提呈,民联国会议员质疑政府落实最低薪金制的诚意。

民主行动党巴生国会议员查尔斯圣地亚哥(Charles Santiago,右图)表示,如果政府真的有意要落实最低薪金制,相关法案理应在今天提呈国会,以便能够在这次的会议辩论,然而第12届第四季第二次国会会议中提呈二读的法案,却不见相关法案的踪影。

圣地亚哥说道:"这很遗憾。因为人力资源部曾经多次表明,称有关法案将在这次会议提呈,以能够辩论。这显示政府没有把公众的意见加入这课题,并且没有透明度。"

人 力资源部长苏巴马廉(S.Subramaniam)分别曾在今年二月和五月提及,将在六月之前和本次国会会议向国会提呈《全国薪金咨询理事会法 案》(Akta Majlis Konsultasi Gaji Minimum Negara),以取代《1947年薪金制定理事会法令》,首相署部长兼表现管理和传递单位(PEMANDU)行政总裁依德利斯(Idris Jala)亦曾在四月间表示,最低薪金的课题预计在今年年杪前有解决方案,然而,此事迄今"只闻楼梯响"。

圣地亚哥强调,制定最低薪金制或适当收入工资的法案很重要,可是此事谈论了接近一年之后,却始终没有提呈,以致国会议员和公民社会对这法案可说是概念全无。

他解释,相关法案必须先在国会通过,才会设立理事会,而理事会将决定工资是属于全国、区域或领域,以及工资数额,必定需要不少时间,眼看如今剩下不到五个月就到年杪,恐怕政府实际上并没有认真看待此事。

适当工资至少1500元

另一方面,查尔斯圣地亚哥表示,根据过去一年的物品和燃油涨价,以及考虑到过去15年,薪金成长率仅有2.6%,他们建议适当收入工资应该介于1500元至2000元,以让人民能够维持生活。

根据世界银行的报告,34%马来西亚人的家居收入低于700元,低于贫困线的763元。

我国目前设有全国薪金理事会(National Wages Council),但在过去数年都没有任何成果。政府过后筹划设立由政府代表、雇主、员工和独立人士组成的全国薪金咨询理事会(National Wage Consultation Council)。

不过,圣地亚哥认为,该理事会应该称为适当收入工资(Decent Living Wage Council),并尽可能避免使用最低薪金(gaji minima)。

他指出,我国需要《适当收入工资法案》,当中分为三个部分:食物、非食物和储蓄,而若要调整,就要考虑通货膨胀和平均收入等问题。

职工会已争取60年

同时出席记者会的马来西亚职工总会(MTUC)前主席赛沙希尔(Syed Shahir Syed Mohamud,右图)也强调,我国为经济发展自豪,但是不少人民的收入却是低于贫困线。

他对于首相署部长依德利斯的说法,持悲观看法且不抱信心,"因为这薪金问题已经不是新课题,如果看看职工总会过往的斗争,这薪金制已经争取接近60年"。

他提到,我国有135万员工的收入是低于1000元,可是生活水平上升让他们难以过活,有者可能贷款过活或采取任何行动解决生活问题。

他呼吁人力资源部看重薪金制,不以政治角度看事情,而是考虑人民的生活。

Keadaan jalan masuk ke Persatuaan India Kedah berada dalam keadaan yang sangat tidak diselengerakkan sejak beberapa tahun ini.Jalan pun berlubang-lubang dan di sebelah tepi jalan sangat penuh dengan semak dan tumbuhan sehingga parit pun penuh dengan sampah-sarap.Aduan telah diterima beberapa kali dari pihak KIA dan orang india kepada saya beberapa bulan yang lalu dan saya pun sudah merujuk kepada pihak yang bertanggungjawab.Demi menjaga imej dan kebersihan saya mengambil keputusan untuk memberi sumbangan sebanyak RM2000 supaya jalan yang rosak ini diperbaiki sementara menunggu bantuan kerajaan supaya tempat ini dapat dilihat dengan lebih elok dan bersih tanpa jalan berlubang lubang .Saya sebagai ADUN Kota Darulaman YB Lee Guan Aik, bersama dengan S.Thannimalai (President Persatuan kaum India Kedah ) meronda dan melihat kerja-kerja pembaikan jalan di sini pada pagi ini, 9/6/11.


哥打達魯阿曼州议员李源益局绅和Dr.S. Thanimalai (吉打印度公会主席)巡视修路工程。这条小路是印度公会主要进出道路,此道路路面破洞出出,危害驾驶人士的生命安全,本人收到来自多方面的书信投诉,所以拨出为数2000零吉作为维修这条小路的费用,毕竟需要重修整条小路的工程所耗的款项很多,所以此次所维修的范围只是涉及补洞,希望此次的道路维修工程可以暂时解决掉当地居民及印度公会的问题。

New 1,000MW Power Plant: Where's the Transparency?

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 06:03 PM PDT

Just as the rakyat is simmering over the lopsided deals Independent Power Producers (IPPs) have been enjoying over the past decades, Malakoff Bhd has announced on Bursa Malaysia yesterday that the Government's regulatory body, Energy Commission (EC) has awarded the concession to build a new 1000MW coal-fired power plant in Tanjong Bin, Johor.

Based on various media reports, prior to the award of the new concession, the Energy Commission chairman, Tan Sri Ahmad Tajuddin Mohd Ali revealted that the commission had sought proposals from 2 power plant operators to construct the power plant, the other IPP being Jimah Energy Ventures Sdn Bhd.

The question on the rakyat's mind today is, why did the EC invite proposals from only 2 IPPs instead of conducting an open tender to all existing IPPs as well as new potential IPPs in the country? It is obvious that only through a transparent and competitive tender exercise, can the commercial and industrial sector, as well as the man-on-the-street enjoy the most efficiently produced electricity at the lowest possible price.

Malakoff Bhd, a subsidiary of MMC Corp Bhd owned by powerful and influential tycoon Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary already operates Southeast Asia's biggest coal-fired IPP at the existing 700MW power plant in Tanjong Bin, and has now been awarded the concession to build an even bigger plant.

In the light of extensive public interest involved in the deal, the Government through Energy Commission or the Minister of Energy, Water and Green Technology, Datuk Peter Chin must immediately disclose the full details of the concession. In addition, it is crucial for the Government to show why the Malakoff proposal was preferred over the Jimah Ventures proposal.

The Najib administration must prove that the Prime Minister is indeed sincere when he claimed "he is fighting for the people" and not "on the IPP's side". The Government must answer question as to how much the coal-powered plant will be subsidised by the Government, the electricity rates to be charged to TNB as well as any formula for future adjustment of tariff rates.

The Prime Minister must also answer to the public and business community why he has repeated broken his promises to hold open and competitive tenders for the biggest projects to be awarded by the Government, such as the RM53 billion MRT, the RM628 million Matrade International Convention Centre, the RM25 billion KL International Financial District and now, Southeast Asia's largest IPP coal-fired power plant.
