Perutusan Hari Raya Aidilfitri 1435 DAP Oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP Dan Ahli Parlimen Kawasan Bagan Lim Guan Eng Di Kuala Lumpur Pada 27.7.2014.

Salam Aidilfitri saya ucapkan kepada umat Islam di mana sahaja berada serta selamat bercuti kepada semua rakyat Malaysia. Kepada mereka yang bertugas pada 1 Syawal ini, khususnya anggota keselamatan negara kita, saya luahkan rasa syukur atas kegigihan dan pengorbanan mereka untuk menjamin keselamatan dan kesejahteraan kita semua.

Sesudah berpuasa selama sebulan sepanjang Ramadan, inilah masanya umat Islam riang gembira menyambut ketibaan Hari Raya. Namun kemeriahan Aidilfitri kali ini sudah tentu diinsafi dengan tragedi yang menimpa Malaysia.

Saya bagi pihak DAP ingin sekali lagi merakamkan rasa kepiluan dan kesedihan serta doa kami kepada keluarga dan kenalan mangsa-mangsa tragedi MH17 yang ditembak jatuh di Ukraine baru-baru ini. Dan juga MH370 yang masih kehilangan di Lautan Hindi.

Press Statement by DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 16 July 2014.

Finance Ministry Must Explain Whether 1 Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) Will Go Bankrupt Or Even Insolvent If They Continue To Rely On An Asset Revaluation Gain Of RM2.7 Billion To Record A Profit Of RM 778 Million And Ignores The Rise In Total Debts To RM 42.3 Billion That Nearly Matches Its Total Assets Of RM44.7 Billion?

The Finance Ministry must explain whether 1 Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) may go bankrupt or even insolvent if they continue to rely on an Asset Revaluaton Gain of RM 2.7 billion to record a profit of RM 778 million and ignores the rise in total debts to RM 42.3 billion that nearly matches its total assets of RM 44.7 billion? When 1MDB finally submitted its much-delayed accounts for FY2013 ended March 31to the Companies Commission of Malaysia, after having changed auditors, 1MDB revealed once againthat it cannot make money without creatively manufacturing a paper profit from land revaluation.

1MDB’s after tax profit of RM778.2 million (on revenue of RM2.6 billion) for FY2013 was the result of a land revaluation gain of RM2.7 billion, without which 1MDB would have lost RM 1.8 billion. The same trick was played out for financial year 2012 when 1MDB recorded an after-tax profit of RM 44.2 million, only after making gains of RM 569.9 million from revaluing its land assets.

Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng in Komtar, George Town On 13 July 2014.

During my recent tourism mission to Hong Kong, I observed that many economies that successfully transformed themselves into a high-income developed economy, share common critical success factors(CSF) with Hong Kong. Amongst the common CSFs are rule of law, open markets, good governance, Integrity in leadership, focus on building and retaining human talent, a livable city that is clean, green safe and healthy; as well as building democratic institutions that respects diversity and human dignity.

Also there is a similar institution like the ICAC in Hong Kong to fight corruption effectively. Penang can learn, emulate and adopt the same CSFs to achieve our vison of becoming an international and intelligent city that is developed with a high-income economy. However, Penang aspires to have our own unique and special identity. We do not want to be a carbon copy of Seoul, Hong Kong or Singapore.

Press Statement by DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 9 July 2014

Tan Sri Muhyiddin And BN Are Exploiting The Imaginary Threat Of Non-Malays And Non-Muslims As A Bogey To Instil Fear Into Malays And Muslims To Distract Attention From The Real Issue Of Rising Prices And Favoured Treatment Of BN Cronies Such As Rice And Independent Power Generation At The Expense Of Public Interest.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and BN are exploiting the imaginary threat of non-Malays and non-Muslims as a bogey to instil fear into Malays and Muslims to distract attention from the real issue of rising prices and the favoured treatment of BN cronies on essential commodities and services such as rice and Independent power generation at the expense of public interest.

Press Statement by DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 8 July 2014

How Can Tan Sri Muhyiddin Threats’s Of Another May 13 Incident Be Merely A Reminder When He Assigns Blame Only To Non-Malays And Non-Muslims By Stating That Muslims And Malays Continue To Be Insulted?

The nation was first shocked by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s threats that Malaysia could see another bloody May 13 incident if no efforts were made to preserve inter-ethnic harmony, especially when Malays and Muslims continue to be insulted. The nation was shocked a second time when UMNO leaders, MCA President Liow Tiong Lai and Gerakan President Mah Siew Keong tried to whitewash Muhyiddin’s threats by callously and casually dismissing it as merely a reminder.

How can Tan Sri Muhyiddin threats’s of another May 13 incident be merely a reminder when he assigns blame only to non-Malays and non-Muslims by stating that Muslims and Malays continue to be insulted? Muhyiddin’s threats can only be considered a reminder if he does not single out any group or community. However, by identifying Muslims and Malays as the injured party by being continually insulted, Muhyiddin is clearly making a threat.

Press Statement by DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 6 July 2014

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has shocked the nation in threats published by UMNO’s mouthpiece Utusan Malaysia that Malaysia could see another bloody May 13 incident if no efforts were made to preserve inter-ethnic harmony, especially when Malays and Muslims continue to be insulted. By blaming the non-Muslims and non-Malays if there is to be death and violence in any future May 13 riots, Muhyiddin is first dehumanizing them should there be any violence on non-Muslim and non-Malays.

Such inflammatory remarks is not only irresponsible but shows that Muhyiddin is only fit to be a role model for right-wing NGOs like Perkasa and Isma as a bigot and extremist but completely unfit and unqualified to be a Deputy Prime Minister for all Malaysians – Malays, Indians, Chinese, Ibans and Kadazans. Muhyiddin has unfortunately built a reputation as a poster boy for Perkasa and Isma when he renounced Prime Minster Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s now discredited propaganda of 1 Malaysia by stressing that he is a Malay first and a Malaysian second.
