Month: April 2016

May Day Message By DAP secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 30.4.2016.

DAP calls for the minimum wage to be increased to RM1,200 monthly to be applied equally to both Peninsular Malaysia as well as Sabah and Sarawak. However foreign workers should not benefit from this ruling for at least 5 years to allow local employers, especially Small and Medium entreprises (SMEs), time to adjust.

With the rising cost of living and the extra costs posed by the implementation of GST, the present minimum wage of RM1,000 for Peninsular Malaysia and RM920 for Labuan, Sabah and Sarawak is too low. If government servants’ salary can also be adjusted to be higher than RM1,200 monthly, there is no reason why workers in the private sector cannot benefit.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2016年4月29日在吉隆坡发表声明：

我们对于马华和民政党内阁部长在独中统考课题上沉寂下来感到纳闷。魏家祥究竟有没有在最近几次的内阁会议提及独中统考课题？马华和民政党在国阵里协商了那么多年，为什么如今国阵政府在承认独中统考方面还是难产？

此外，砂拉越州政府虽然大事公布“承认独中统考文凭”，但是条件是必须拥有SPM马来文科优等。这种附带条件的“承认”，意味着独中生还是必须考取两种考试：统考文凭与SPM，才能申请成为砂拉越公务员。对独中生而言是双重考试的负担，这不是实质意义上的“承认”，简直就是不承认。 Continue reading “砂拉越政府，虽然口口声声说承认独中统考文凭，可是独中生在报考独中统考之余，还是得报考SPM。 为什么要让独中生那么累？”

Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Penang On 25.4.2016.

Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan is so desperate to chicken out of his own debate challenge, that he is now issuing a new challenge me to sue him in court for defamation. Rahman knows that if I sue him for defamation then he can easily use the excuse of sub-judice as the reason for not debating me.

We cannot forget that the RM2.6 billion donation scandal of the Prime Minister was declared sub judice merely because of a judicial review filed in court by the Bar Council. As a result of the RM2.6 billion donation scandal was declared sub-judice by the Parliamentary Speaker and no questions were allowed to be raised in Parliament.

Media statement by DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng in the state constituency of Murum in the hinterland of Bintulu on 23 April 2016:

As part of the accord with the PKR leadership, DAP has sacrificed the newly created seat of Batu Kitang (carved out from the DAP-held seats of Batu Kawah and Kota Sentosa) which was intended to be contested by Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen. DAP will give full support to the female candidate Voon Shiak Ni as announced by PKR deputy president and Selangor MB Datuk Seri Azmin Ali.

DAP also hails our first female Dayak candidate Rinda Juliza Alexander , who is contesting in Pakan against political giant, SPDP president Tan Sri William Mawan. We hope she can be a giant-killer. Continue reading “DAP will honour the agreement forged with PKR which will see DAP contesting a historic 30 seats in the upcoming Sarawak state election. The 30 seats will see more non-Chinese than Chinese-majority seats – 16 to 14.(en/bm/cn)”

民主行动党秘书及峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2016年4月22日在吉隆坡发表的文告:

民主行动党非常遗憾在砂拉越首长丹斯里阿德南肆无忌惮毫无道理的大肆禁足反对党政治领袖入境砂拉越的时候，首相署部长拿督斯里魏家祥还以禁止极端主义者入境是一项惯例为阿德南缓颊。

今天连温文尔雅雪兰莪州议长杨巧双也遭禁入境砂拉越，难道堂堂雪州议长也是极端分子？还有槟州两名行政议员拿督阿都马烈及阿菲夫医生日前也同样遭拒入境砂拉越，这两位行政议员又是哪门子极端分子？ Continue reading “魏家祥以禁止极端分子入境是砂拉越的惯例为阿德南强权下的极端政治手腕辩护，无疑证明马华领袖只能依附在巫统及国阵强权下唯诺是从。”

Kenyataan Akhbar Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng Di Komtar, George Town Pada 19.4.2016.

Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang kesal dengan sikap tidak profesional pihak Kementerian Pengangkutan yang cuba mengelak daripada bertanggungjawab ke atas skandal RM43 juta Tanjung City Marina dan kerja pemulihannya dengan menyalahkan Kerajaan Negeri.

Alasannya adalah masalah hak milik tanah dengan Kerajaan Negeri belum diselesaikan sungguhpun tapak Tanjung City Marina dimiliki sepenuhnya oleh Suruhanjaya Pelabuhan Pulau Pinang (SPPP) dan bukannya Kerajaan Negeri.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2016年4月19日在吉隆坡发表声明：

马华和民政党是否将在明天的内阁会议里提呈承认独中统考动议？砂拉越8名部长是否曾经在内阁会议表态支持承认独中统考？如果国阵不会承认独中统考文凭已成定案，我们希望马华和民政党不要再继续欺骗华社，直接承认自己无能为力，然后道歉。

教育部副部长拿督卡马拉纳登于2016后3月29日在国会发表“政府基于承认独中统考会影响国家利益和主权为由，而不承认独中统考”已经三个星期，马华和民政从来没有解释，到底独中统考关“国家利益和主权”什么事？ Continue reading “如果国阵不会承认独中统考文凭已成定案，我们希望马华和民政党不要再继续欺骗华社，直接承认自己无能为力，然后道歉。”

Kenyataan Akhbar Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng Di Komtar, George Town Pada 13.4.16

Pihak kerajaan negeri akan berikan kerjasama penuh kepada kerajaan persekutuan seperti pengambilan tanah dan kebenaran kerja untuk menjayakan projek jalan di bawah Kementerian Kerja Raya. Dalam jawapan bertulis kepada saya, Menteri Kerja Raya Datuk Sri Fadillah Yusof menyatakan bahawa 7 projek bernilai RM1.96 bilion telah diluluskan untuk 2016-2017 di bawah Rancangan Malaysia Ke-11. Akan tetapi hanya satu daripada 7 projek tersebut adalah projek baru iaitu projek jalan dari Jambatan Tuanku Abdul Rahman hingga Jambatan Merdeka Seberang Perai Utara dengan kos RM340.4 juta. Enam lagi projek yang disebut adalah projek sambungan. Sungguhpun begitu, kerajaan negeri ucapkan terima kasih kepada Kementerian Kerja Raya atas kelulusan projek ini dengan harapan lebih banyak projek jalan baru, dan bukan sambungan, perlu boleh diluluskan seperti Continue reading “Pihak kerajaan negeri akan berikan kerjasama penuh kepada kerajaan persekutuan seperti pengambilan tanah dan kebenaran kerja untuk menjayakan projek jalan di bawah Kementerian Kerja Raya.

Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister and DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 12.4.2016.

Whilst we are still waiting for Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Abdul Rahman Dahlan to return home for the debate he had challenged me, he has released 15 questions he intended to ask during the debate. Clearly this is his desperate attempt to distract attention from the fact that he had run away overseas after I had immediately accepted his debate challenge.

Unlike Abdul Rahman, I will not run away. But I will return the favour by also asking him 15 questions so that when he is enjoying himself overseas he can formulate his replies during the debate – if it ever takes place.
