DAP is shocked by a Bernama report that RM100 million was allocated for the event that was criticised by art activists.<\/p>\n<p>DAP suspects that the Bernama report is false and Datuk Seri Rais explain the actual amount spent. It is difficult to believe that the government can be so reckless as to allocate RM100 million for the 2011 Artistes Day event when 27 million ordinary Malaysians are hurting from rising prices caused by BN\u2019s subsidy cuts.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nLast year, when tabling the Budget 2011, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak announced a RM200 million allocation for the purchase of creative products, such as high-quality locally-produced films, dramas and documentaries.<\/p>\n<p>If Datuk Seri Rais Yatim is sincere about promoting arts, then he need only allocate RM2 million not for a one-day event like Artists Day but a month-long event in the George Town Heritage Fest beginning in July by international and local artists. George Town Heritage Fest is held to mark its selection as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 7.7.2008. <\/p>\n<p>Festival Director Joe Sidek has turned the George Town Heritage Fest into one of the few internationally-rated festivals in the country that demonstrates not only the best of all the cultures in Malaysia but also by foreign talents. Hopefully Datuk Seri Rais will allow his love of art and culture to prevail over partisan politics and promote this important Festival.<\/p>\n<p>LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Malay translation &#8211; <\/p>\n<p>Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang merangkap Setiausaha Agung DAP, YAB Lim Guan Eng pada 12 Jun 2011 di Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jika Datuk Seri Rais Yatim Ingin Mempromosikan Seni Kemudian Ia Perlu Tidak Menghabiskan RM100 Juta Tapi Hanya RM2 Juta On The Heritage Festival George Town Bulan-Long Dengan Malaysia Dan Pelaku Antarabangsa.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan Datuk Seri Rais Yatim perlu menjelaskan alasan membuang-buang RM100 juta untuk 2011 Artistes Day pada tarikh 29 Mei yang mendapat respon yang hangat dari aktivis seni. DAP terkejut dengan laporan Bernama bahawa RM100 juta diperuntukkan untuk acara yang dikritik oleh aktivis seni.<\/p>\n<p>Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim harus menerangkan rasionalnya pembaziran wang sebanyak RM100 juta untuk sambutan Hari Seniman pada 29 Mei yang telah menerima maklum balas yang hangat di kalangan penggiat seni. DAP begitu terkejut dengan laporan Bernama bahawa RM100 juta telah diperuntukkan untuk acara tersebut sehingga menimbulkan kritikan daripada para penggiat seni.<\/p>\n<p>DAP menyangkakan bahawa laporan Bernama tersebut adalah tidak benar dan harap Datuk Seri Rais boleh menjelaskan jumlah sebenar yang telah dibelanjakan. Sukar untuk mempercayai bahawa kerajaan begitu cuai ketika memberikan peruntukan RM100 juta untuk sambutan Hari Seniman 2011 ketika 27 juta rakyat Malaysia biasa menderita dengan kenaikan harga barang disebabkan oleh pemotongan subsidi oleh BN.<\/p>\n<p>Tahun lepas ketika pembentangan Belanjawan 2011, Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak mengumumkan peruntukan sebanyak RM200 juta untuk pembelian produk kreatif seperti drama, filem dan dokumentari yang bermutu tinggi.<\/p>\n<p>Sekiranya Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim ikhlas untuk mempromosikan kesenian, beliau hanya perlu memperuntukan RM2 juta, bukan untuk acara satu hari seperti Hari Seniman tetapi sambutan Festival George Town selama satu bulan bermula bulan Julai yang melibatkan seniman tempatan dan antarabangsa. Festival George Town ini diadakan sempena pemilihan sebagai Tapak Warisan Dunia UNESCO pada 7 Julai 2008 yang lalu.<\/p>\n<p>Pengarah festival, Joe Sidek telah membawa Festival George Town heritage menjadi sebagai salah satu festival antarabangsa yang akan menyaksikan bukan hanya persembahan kebudayaan di Malaysia tetapi juga di kalangan bakat asing yang terbaik. Di harap Datuk Seri Dr Rais membenarkan kecintaan beliau terhadap kesenian dan kebudayaan mengatasi fahaman politik dan sekaligus mempromosikan festival ini.<\/p>\n<p>LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Chinese Translation &#8211;<br \/>\n\u69df\u5dde\u9996\u5e2d\u90e8\u957f\u517c\u6c11\u4e3b\u884c\u52a8\u515a\u79d8\u4e66\u957f\u6797\u51a0\u82f1\u4e8e2011\u5e746\u670812\u65e5\u5728\u5409\u9686\u5761\u53d1\u8868\u7684\u6587\u544a\uff1a<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u82e5\u83b1\u58eb\u96c5\u4e01\u771f\u7684\u8981\u63a8\u5e7f\u827a\u672f\uff0c\u90a3\u4ed6\u6839\u672c\u4e0d\u9700\u8981\u82b11\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\uff0c\u53ea\u9700\u6ce8\u8d44\u533a\u533a\u7684200\u4e07\u4ee4\u5409\uff0c\u5728\u957f\u8fbe\u4e00\u4e2a\u6708\u3001\u6709\u9a6c\u6765\u897f\u4e9a\u53ca\u56fd\u9645\u8868\u6f14\u8005\u53c2\u4e0e\u7684\u4e54\u6cbb\u5e02\u8282\u5e86\u5373\u53ef\u3002<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>\u65b0\u95fb\u3001\u901a\u8baf\u53ca\u6587\u5316\u90e8\u90e8\u957f\u62ff\u7763\u65af\u91cc\u83b1\u58eb\u96c5\u4e01\u5e94\u8be5\u89e3\u91ca\uff0c\u4e3a\u4f55\u4ed6\u4e8e5\u670829\u65e5\u4e3e\u884c\u3001\u827a\u672f\u754c\u53cd\u5e94\u5e73\u5e73\u76842011\u5e74\u827a\u672f\u8282\u82b1\u8d39\u4e86\u65741\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\uff1f\u884c\u52a8\u515a\u5bf9\u300a\u9a6c\u65b0\u793e\u300b\u62a5\u5bfc\uff0c\u6307\u8fd9\u9879\u83b7\u5f971\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u62e8\u6b3e \u7684\u6d3b\u52a8\uff0c\u5df2\u906d\u53d7\u827a\u672f\u6d3b\u8dc3\u4efd\u5b50\u7684\u62a8\u51fb\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u884c\u52a8\u515a\u8d28\u7591\u300a\u9a6c\u65b0\u793e\u300b\u7684\u62a5\u5bfc\u662f\u9519\u8bef\u7684\uff0c\u5e76\u5e0c\u671b\u83b1\u58eb\u96c5\u4e01\u80fd\u591f\u89e3\u91ca\u771f\u6b63\u7684\u8d39\u7528\u6709\u591a\u5c11\u3002\u5f88\u96be\u76f8\u4fe1\u653f\u5e9c\u4f1a\u9c81\u83bd\u5230\u57282\u5343700\u4e07\u540d\u767e\u59d3\u906d\u53d7\u56fd\u9635\u524a\u51cf\u6d25\u8d34\u53ca\u9762\u5bf9\u901a\u81a8\u4e4b\u82e6\u7684\u5f53\u513f\uff0c\u4f1a\u4e3a\u4e86\u4e00\u4e2a2011\u5e74\u827a\u672f\u8282\u800c\u62e8\u51fa1\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u7684\u6b3e\u9879\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u53bb\u5e74\uff0c\u5f53\u9996\u76f8\u62ff\u7763\u65af\u91cc\u7eb3\u5409\u5ba3\u5e032011\u5e74\u8d22\u653f\u9884\u7b97\u65f6\uff0c\u5ba3\u5e03\u4e862\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u7684\u62e8\u6b3e\uff0c\u4f9b\u91c7\u8d2d\u521b\u610f\u4ea7\u54c1\uff0c\u5982\u9ad8\u7d20\u8d28\u7684\u672c\u571f\u7535\u5f71\u3001 \u7535\u89c6\u5267\u53ca\u8bb0\u5f55\u7247\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u82e5\u62ff\u7763\u65af\u91cc\u83b1\u58eb\u96c5\u4e01\u771f\u5fc3\u8981\u63a8\u5e7f\u827a\u672f\u7684\u8bdd\uff0c\u90a3\u4ed6\u53ea\u9700\u8981\u62e8\u6b3e200\u4e07\u7ed9\u805a\u96c6\u56fd\u5185\u5916\u827a\u672f\u5bb6\u3001\u95f9\u8db3\u6574\u4e2a7\u6708\u4efd\u7684\u4e54\u6cbb\u5e02\u8282\u5e86\uff0c\u4ee5\u5e86\u795d2008\u5e747\u67087\u65e5\u4e54\u6cbb\u5e02\u6210\u529f\u5165\u9057\uff0c \u800c\u4e0d\u662f\u82b1\u8d39\u4e861\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u4ec5\u4f9b\u4e00\u5929\u7684\u827a\u672f\u8282\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u4e54\u6cbb\u5e02\u8282\u5e86\u7684\u8282\u5e86\u603b\u76d1\u4f50\u897f\u8fea\u5df2\u7ecf\u628a\u8fd9\u9879\u5e74\u5ea6\u8282\u5e86\uff0c\u6253\u9020\u6210\u5176\u4e2d\u4e00\u9879\u56fd\u5185\u5c11\u6709\u7684\u56fd\u9645\u7b49\u7ea7\u8282\u5e86\uff0c\u4e0d\u53ea\u662f\u5c55\u73b0\u51fa\u9a6c\u6765\u897f\u4e9a\u6700\u4f73\u7684\u6587\u5316\uff0c\u4e5f\u83b7\u5f97\u6d77\u5916\u827a\u672f\u5bb6\u7684\u53c2\u4e0e\u3002\u5e0c\u671b\u62ff\u7763\u65af\u91cc\u83b1\u58eb\u96c5\u4e01\u4f1a\u4e3a\u4e86\u4ed6\u6240\u559c\u7231\u7684\u6587\u5316\u827a\u672f\u8d85\u8d8a\u653f\u6cbb\uff0c\u5171\u540c\u63a8\u5e7f\u8fd9\u9879\u91cd\u8981\u7684\u8282\u5e86\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u6797\u51a0\u82f1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister And DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 12 June 2011.
