DAP insists that all top SPM scorers should get an overseas Public Service Department (PSD) scholarships and not 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) grants to study in local public and private universities in the interests of fairplay, reward performance based on excellence not mediocrity and demonstrate the country\u2019s commitment to retain our human talent.<\/p>\n
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz announced yesterday that 500 special education grants would be disbursed by 1MDB to the rejected applicants. The scholarships to public universities would be worth RM7,500 a year and scholarships for study of critical courses in private universities would be worth RM15,000 a year while grants for non-critical courses would be worth RM7,500.<\/p>\n
At the same time, DAP condemns the BN government for failing to uphold transparency and accountability by making public the detailed results of all those who were awarded overseas scholarships. MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek has still not explained why MCA Ministers failed to fulfil Chua\u2019s promise to award all top SPM scorers with PSD overseas scholarships. Chua would do well to read the article by his predecessor Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat in Malaysiakini that BN\u2019s failure to award overseas PSD scholarships equally to all SPM top scorers has reflected negatively on BN.<\/p>\n
Instead of responding to MCA\u2019s failure that even his predecessor Ong had criticised, MCA is trying to distract attention by attacking the Penang PR state government for lying that Penang does not have enough money to provide scholarships to top students. MCA claims that Penang has vast wealth to spend on overseas scholarships because Penang came out top in investments with RM 12.2 billion in 2010. <\/p>\n
If MCA can not differentiate between foreign and domestic investments with revenue then MCA does not deserve to be part of government. Investments are held by the private sector to spend to generate jobs and economic growth, not revenue for the state government to spend. Perhaps all MCA leaders should undergo a basic course of finance. Further the Penang PR state government is still trying to clean up years of BN\u2019s misrule and abuse of power in the state that caused RM230 million in losses to Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai(MPSP) until MPSP became practically bankrupt and the Tang Hak Ju land scam that costs the state RM40 million. <\/p>\n
Despite these revenue constraints, Penang PR has continued to award loans at local public universities to all deserving Penang students equally. Penang PR has also increased the primary and secondary school grants(not loans) to poor students. DAP pledges that unlike Barisan Nasional (BN), all deserving top students in the country will be awarded the same scholarships if Pakatan Rakyat (PR) wrins control of the federal government. <\/p>\n
This pledge to award overseas scholarships equally to all top students is necessary to win Malaysia\u2019s future by escaping the middle-income trap to become a high-income economy with USD15,000 per capita income. Malaysia would be sending a wrong message if we reward mediocrity instead of excellence, do not have a level-playing field that is fair to the best and brightest and allow the brain drain to continue. The time has come to invest our resources in the future by spending tens of billions of ringgit on human talent instead of squandering it on corruption and white elephant projects likes the RM 5 billion 100-storey Menara Warisan. <\/p>\n
Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister And DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng In Penang On 7 June 2011. <\/p>\n
—– BM Translation—-<\/p>\n
Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang merangkap Setiausaha Agung DAP, Lim Guan Eng di Pulau Pinang pada 7 Jun 2011<\/p>\n
DAP berkeras menyatakan bahawa kesemua pelajar cemerlang SPM sewajarnya diberi biasiswa pengajian luar negara Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA) dan bukannya jaminan biasiswa pengajian \u20181Malaysia Development Berhad\u2019 (1MDB) yang menawarkan pengajian di universiti awam tempatan dan universiti swasta tempatan sebagai langkah untuk berlaku adil terhadap pelajar tersebut, ganjaran sewajarnya berdasarkan prestasi cemerlang dan bukannya kepada pelajar yang mempunyai pencapaian sederhana serta menunjukkan komitmen negara mengekalkan tenaga kerja mahir dan berbakat. <\/p>\n
Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz mengumumkan semalam, 500 geran khas pengajian akan diberikan oleh 1MDB kepada pemohon (JPA) yang gagal. Biasiswa bernilai RM7,500 setahun adalah untuk pengajian di universiti awam tempatan manakala bagi pengajian di universiti swasta tempatan dalam pengajian atau bidang kritikal akan diberikan biasiswa bernilai RM15,000 setahun dan RM7,500 bagi bidang lain. <\/p>\n
Pada masa yang sama, DAP mengecam tindakan Kerajaan BN kerana gagal untuk menegakkan prinsip ketelusan dan kebertanggungjawaban dengan mengeluarkan butiran atau maklumat terperinci pelajar-pelajar yang telah mendapat tawaran biasiswa pengajian luar negara. Presiden MCA, Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek masih berdiam diri dan tidak memberi sebarang kenyataan berkaitan kegagalan menteri-menteri MCA untuk memberi biasiswa pengajian luar negara kepada kesemua pelajar cemerlang SPM. Chua sepatutnya membaca artikel oleh Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat dalam Malaysiakini yang menyatakan bahawa kegagalan BN memberi biasiswa pengajian luar negara JPA kepada kesemua pelajar cemerlang SPM tersebut telah memberi tanggapan yang negatif kepada BN. <\/p>\n
Kegagalan MCA dalam mendapatkan biasiswa tersebut yang juga turut dikritik oleh mantannya, Ong, sepatutnya menjadi isu tetapi sebaliknya MCA cuba mengalihkan perhatian umum dengan membuat serangan terhadap Kerajaan PR Pulau Pinang yang dikatakan menipu bahawa Pulau Pinang tidak mempunyai dana yang mencukupi untuk memberi biasiswa kepada pelajar-pelajar cemerlang. MCA mendakwa Pulau Pinang mempunyai dana yang cukup besar untuk diberikan sebagai biasiswa pengajian luar negara memandangkan Pulau Pinang telah mendahului senarai pelaburan tertinggi pada tahun 2010 dengan nilai RM12.2 bilion. <\/p>\n
Sekiranya MCA tidak mampu membezakan antara pelaburan luar negara dan pelaburan dalam negara dengan pendapatan, maka MCA tidak layak untuk menjadi sebahagian daripada jentera kerajaan. Pelaburan yang dimiliki oleh sektor swasta adalah untuk mencipta peluang pekerjaan dan pertumbuhan ekonomi, bukan menjana pendapatan Kerajaan Negeri untuk berbelanja. Mungkin para pemimpin MCA perlu menghadiri kursus asas kewangan. Tambahan pula, Kerajaan PR Negeri Pulau Pinang masih lagi cuba untuk membetulkan serta membersihkan penyalahgunaan kuasa dan salah laku sehingga menyebabkan kerugian berjumlah RM230 juta yang terpaksa ditanggung oleh Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai (MPSP) sehingga memaksa MPSP muflis secara praktikalitinya dan isu skandal tanah Tang Hak Ju yang menyebabkan Kerajaan Negeri terpaksa membayar RM40 juta.<\/p>\n
Walaupun pendapatan terhad, Pulau Pinang masih lagi memberi pinjman kepada pelajar cemerlang universiti awam tempatan di Pulau Pinang yang layak mendapatkannya. Kerajaan PR Pulau Pinang turut menambah peruntukkan (bukan pinjaman) kepada pelajar-pelajar miskin sekolah-sekolah rendah dan menengah. DAP berjanji bukan seperti BN, bahawa semua pelajar cemerlang layak mendapat biasiswa pengajian yang saksama sekiranya Pakatan Rakyat (PR) menang pilihanraya akan datang dan mengambil alih pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan.<\/p>\n
Janji untuk memberi penghargaan biasiswa pengajian luar negara kepada semua pelajar cemerlang secara saksama adalah keperluan dalam memastikan Malaysia tidak berada dalam lingkungan \u2018middle-income\u2019 atau berpendapatan sederhana sebaliknya menjadi negara yang berada dalam lingkungan berpendapatan tinggi dengan pendapatan per kapita USD15,000 pada masa hadapan. Malaysia akan memberi gambaran yang salah sekiranya kita memberi penghargaan kepada pelajar yang sederhana berbanding pelajar cemerlang, tidak mempunyai ruang keadilan dan kesaksamaan kepada pelajar yang menonjol dan cemerlang serta secara berterusan membenarkan para cendakiawan dan cerdik pandai berhijrah. Masanya telah tiba untuk kita melabur usaha dan tekad kita untuk masa hadapan dengan membelanjakan puluhan bilion ringgit dalam melahirkan tenaga kerja mahir berbanding menghabiskan wang ringgit untuk rasuah dan projek-projek \u2018gajah putih\u2019 seperti pembinaan Menara Warisan seratus tingkat yang menelan belanja RM5 bilion. <\/p>\n
