BN\u2019s Economic Transformation Programme(ETP) Has Failed To Win The Corruption War, Improve Transparency And Accountability By Failing To Prevent The Slide In Malaysia\u2019s Competitiveness By Six Rungs From 10th In 2010 To 16 In 2011. <\/p>\n
BN\u2019s much vaunted ETP has shown signs of failure when it is unable to prevent the slide in Malaysia\u2019s competitiveness under the Institute of Management Development (IMD) 2011 World Competitive Rankings to fall by six rungs from 10th in 2010 to 16 this year. Clearly the ETP has neither succeeded in winning the fight against graft nor in improving accountability and transparency. <\/p>\n
Even Transparency International has expressed concerns that corruption has either worsened or stagnated with Malaysia Corruption Perception Index is now at a low-time low of No. 56 in 2010. In 2002 Malaysia was at an all-time high of No.33.
\n
\nMalaysia\u2019s CPI score in 2010 was trimmed slightly from 4.5 the year before to 4.4 out of 10, with 10 being the least corrupt, putting the country on par with Namibia and Turkey. Malaysia inability to fight corruption is due to its stubborn refusal to adopt international best practices in good governance such as open tenders, performance-based and stern action against corruption and financial malpractices. <\/p>\n
Corruption was estimated to have cost Malaysia RM28 billion annually and some have even estimated US$100 billion have been lost since the 80s. It is not surprising that the severity of the problem was exposed by the Washington-based Global Financial Integrity report that nearly RM 888 billion of illicit money was secretly taken out of the country over a nine year period from 2000-2008. Much of the illicit money can be traced to corruption and criminal activities. <\/p>\n
Many of our greatest losses in our financial scandals goes unpunished. In fact the whistle-blower is not protected by subjected to the highest risk of punishment. Sometimes those responsible for being part of the scandal can even challenge and threaten to sue those trying to clean up. <\/p>\n
With the 1st quarter 2011 GDP growth slowing down to 4.6% from the 4.8% fourth quarter 2010 growth, it is a big challenge for the ETP to achieve the projected 6% annual growth for 2011. Three areas must be addressed if the ETP is to have any desired impact to improve competitiveness.<\/p>\n
Apart from corruption and failure to punish the corrupt, Malaysia\u2019s competitiveness has also been affected by the brain drain of our human talents and poor broadband connectivity. Malaysia has poor broadband service and low broadband penetration rate of less than 50%. Coupled with more than 2 million Malaysians from the best and brightest migrating overseas since Merdeka, Malaysia\u2019s slide in competitiveness is expected and unsurprising. <\/p>\n
Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 19 May 2011. <\/p>\n
———– Malay Translation ————- <\/p>\n
Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, YAB Lim Guan Eng pada 19 Mei 2011 di Kuala Lumpur. <\/p>\n
Program Transformasi Ekonomi (ETP) Kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) telah gagal dalam memerangi gejala rasuah, memperbaiki ketelusan dan akauntabiliti berikutan kegagalan mempertahankan kedudukan daya saing Malaysia dari anak tangga ke 10 pada tahun 2010 ke tangga 16 pada tahun 2011. <\/p>\n
ETP yang menjadi kebanggaan Barisan Nasional telah menunjukkan tanda- tanda kegagalan apabila gagal mempertahankan kedudukan daya saing Malaysia di bawah Institut Pembangunan Pengurusan (IMD) dalam daya saing antarabangsa 2011 apabila jatuh 6 anak tangga dari tangga ke -10 pada tahun 2010 ke tangga ke- 16 pada tahun 2011. Jelas sekali ETP tidak berjaya untuk memenangi perang melawan rasuah mahupun memperbaiki ketelusan dan akauntabiliti. <\/p>\n
Malah Tranparency International turut menyatakan keprihatinan bahawa rasuah bukan sahaja telah memburukkan tetapi juga telah membawa Indeks Persepsi Rasuah (CPI) Malaysia ketika ini ke tangga yang rendah iaitu di tempat ke- 56 pada tahun 2010. Pada tahun 2002, Malaysia berada di tangga ke- 33. <\/p>\n
Indeks Persepsi Rasuah (CPI) Malaysia pada tahun 2010 menurun sedikit iaitu daripada 4.5 pada tahun sebelumnya kepada 4.4 daripada mata penuh 10; di mana markah 10 adalah paling rendah rasuah, menjadikan Malaysia setaraf dengan Negara Namibia dan Turki. Ketidakmampuan Malaysia memerangi rasuah adalah disebabkan penolakan keras untuk melaksanakan amalan terbaik antarabangsa dalam corak pemerintahan seperti sistem tender terbuka, penilaian berasaskan prestasi dan tindakan tegas dalam melawan gejala rasuah dan pengurusan kewangan yang salah. <\/p>\n
Amalan rasuah dianggarkan bernilai RM28 bilion setahun dan ada yang menganggarkan sebanyak US$100 telah hilang sejak tahun 80-an. Hal ini tidak menghairankan apabila permasalahan ini telah didedahkan oleh Washington melalui laporan Global Financial Integrity bahawa hampir RM888 bilion wang haram telah dipindahkan secara diam-diam ke luar Negara sejak 9 tahun lalu iaitu dari tahun 2000- 2008. Sebahagian besar wang haram dikesan melalui kegiatan rasuah dan jenayah. <\/p>\n
Kebanyakan kerugian besar dalam skandal kewangan dibiarkan tanpa sebarang hukuman. Bahkan whistle-blower tidak dilindungi untuk berdepan dengan risiko hukuman yang berat. Kadang kala mereka yang bertanggungjawab dengan skandal masih boleh mencabar dan mengancam untuk mengambil tindakan kepada mereka yang cuba membersihkannya. <\/p>\n
Selain daripada rasuah dan kegagalan untuk menjatuhkan hukuman kepada pesalah rasuah, daya saing Malaysia juga telah dipengaruhi oleh pemikiran sempit daripada bakat luar dan perkhidmatan jalur lebar yang lemah. Malaysia mempunyai perkhidmatan jalur lebar yang rendah dengan capaian internet yang kurang daripada 50 peratus. Ditambah dengan lebih daripada 2 juta rakyat Malaysia yang terbaik dan bijak telah berhijrah ke luar Negara sejak Malaysia mencapai kemerdekaan, kedudukan daya saing Malaysia adalah seperti yang telah dijangka dan tidak mengejutkan. <\/p>\n
