Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 3.10.2012. <\/p>\n
The Failure Of The 2013 Budget To Announce The \u201cInevitable Increase\u201d Of Electricity Tariffs Proves BN\u2019s 3Ds Record of Deficits, Debts and Deception As Compared To PR\u2019s State Government\u2019s 3S Achievement Of Surplus, Sustainable Debt Reduction And Stern Action Against Corruption.<\/strong><\/p>\n BN\u2019s Budget 2013 is clearly an exercise in deception following the admission by Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Peter Chin in an interview with Sin Chew Daily yesterday that an increase in power tariffs in the future is inevitable due to climbing international prices of fuel. Even though Peter Chin did not reveal the time and quantum of the electricity tariff hike, he pointed out that higher electricity prices will encourage the public to save energy and switch to products with green technology. <\/p>\n Such an admission by Peter Chin is shocking as this should be included by any responsible government in the 2013 Budget. If a hike in electricity tariffs is inevitable, why then was this not announced in the 2013 Budget presented by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on 28 September 2012? <\/p>\n Such failure is clearly intended deception and proves BN 3Ds record of Deficits, Debts and Deception as compared to PR\u2019s state government\u2019s record of 3S of Surplus, Sustainable debt reduction and Stern action against corruption. BN\u2019s 2013 Budget of RM 252 billion can not mask a persistent record of deficits for the 16th year estimated at RM40 billion. <\/p>\n The last time this country ran a budget surplus was in 1997 when Anwar Ibrahim was still the Deputy Prime Minister. Neither can the 2013 Budget hide the fact that the Federal Government debt has risen to its highest level in history at RM502.4 billion or RM 17,000 for every Malaysian. And this RM 502.4 billion debt does not even include contingent liabilities estimated at more than RM 110 billion, that are not officially on the books. <\/p>\n In contrast PR state governments have not only recorded yearly surpluses but also reduced debt. For example Penang PR state government recorded the highest ever surpluses in Penang\u2019s history for each of the 4 years in power. Sustainable debt reduction was adopted and managed to cut down the state government debt by 95% or RM 600 million from RM 630 million in March 2008 to only RM 30 million by end 2011. <\/p>\n In contrast to PR\u2019s stern action against corruption, BN continues to approve programmes that benefits its cronies such as the RM 272.5 million was allocated in this budget under the Crime NKRA to \u201cIncrease Public Satisfaction on Police Performance\u201d. Instead of spending taxpayers\u2019 money to improve the police force and to reduce actual crime, the BN has decided to allocate this money for an empty public relations exercise that will only benefit politically linked consultants and advertisers. With this kind of mindset, it is even less likely that that the public will believe that crime is indeed coming down in our country.<\/p>\n Worse is RM 386 million has been allocated to set up an additional 57 KR1M stores in Sabah and Sarawak or RM 6.7 million per store. This allocation will likely benefit those who get the contract to operate these stores, namely Mydin. In addition, these KR1M stores will also likely drive many local retailers in Sabah and Sarawak out of business. <\/p>\n In 2012, Najib announced the setting up of 85 KR1M stores in Peninsular Malaysia with an allocation of RM 40 million. This works out to RM470,000 per store. For the 2013 Budget, the setting up of 57 KR1M stores in Sabah and Sarawak costs RM 386 million or RM 6.7 million per store, which is an increase of 15 times in the cost of one KR1M store of RM 470,000 in Peninsular Malaysia. <\/p>\n Can BN justify spending RM6.7 million just to set up one KR1M store to sell basic necessities like sugar, rice and salt or are the KR1M stores also selling luxury goods like designer handbags, gold and diamond jewellery?<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n —-BM Version —<\/p>\n Kenyataan Akhbar Oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP dan Ahli Parlimen Bagan Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 3.10.2012.<\/p>\n Kegagalan Bajet 2013 Untuk Mengumumkan \u201cPeningkatan Tidak Dapat Dielakkan\u201d Tarif Elektrik Menunjukkan Rekod 3D BN iaitu Defisit, Hutang (Debts) dan Penipuan (Deception) Berbanding Pencapaian 3S Kerajaan Negeri PR iaitu Surplus, Pengekalan (Sustainable) Pengurangan Hutang dan Tindakan Tegas (Stern) Terhadap Rasuah.<\/strong><\/p>\n Bajet 2013 BN secara jelasnya mempraktikkan penipuan ekoran pengakuan Menteri Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air, Peter Chin dalam temubual bersama Sin Chew Daily semalam bahawa peningkatan tarif tenaga di masa depan adalah tidak dapat dielakkan ekoran peningkatan harga bahan api. Walaupun Peter Chin tidak mendedahkan masa dan peningkatan besar tarif elektrik, beliau menyatakan bahawa harga elektrik yang tinggi bakal menggalakkan umum jimatkan tenaga dan bertukar kepada produk teknologi hijau. <\/p>\n Pengakuan sebegini oleh Peter Chin adalah mengejutkan kerana ia sepatutnya termasuk dalam Bajet 2013 pihak kerajaan bertanggungjawab. Sekiranya peningkatan tarif elektrik adalah tidak dapat dielakkan, kenapa ia tidak diumumkan dalam Bajet 2013 dibentangkan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pada 28 September 2012? <\/p>\n Kegagalan sebegini dengan jelas adalah penipuan terancang dan menunjukkan rekod 3D BN iaitu Defisit, Hutang (Debts) dan Penipuan (Deception) berbanding pencapaian 3S Kerajaan Negeri PR iaitu Surplus, Pengekalan (Sustainable) pengurangan hutang dan tindakan Tegas (Stern) terhadap rasuah. Bajet RM 252 bilion BN 2013 tidak boleh menutup rekod anggaran defisit berterusan sebanyak RM40 bilion untuk tahun ke-16. <\/p>\n Kali terakhir negara memiliki bajet surplus adalah pada 1997 apabila Anwar Ibrahim masih merupakan Timbalan Perdana Menteri. Tidak sama sekali Bajet 2013 dapat menyembunyikan fakta bahawa hutang Kerajaan Persekutuan telah mencapai tahap tertinggi dalam sejarah dengan RM502.4 bilion atau RM17,000 untuk setiap warga Malaysia. Malah RM 502.4 bilion jumlah hutang ini masih tidak termasuk liabiliti kebergantungan yang dijangka lebih dari RM 110 bilion secara tidak rasmi dalam buku. <\/p>\n Berbeza dengan Kerajaan Negeri PR yang bukan hanya merekodkan surplus tahunan dan juga pengurangan hutang. Contohnya, Kerajaan Negeri PR Pulau Pinang merekodkan surplus tertinggi dalam sejarah Pulau Pinang pada setiap tahun bagi tempoh 4 tahun pemerintahan. Pengekalan pengurangan hutang diambil dan diurus untuk mengurangkan hutang Kerajaan Negeri sebanyak 95% atau RM 600 juta daripada RM 630 juta pada Mac 2008 kepada hanya RM 30 juta pada penghujung 2011. <\/p>\n Berbeza dengan tindakan tegas PR dalam menentang rasuah, BN terus memberi kelulusan program-program yang memberi manfaat kepada kroni-kroni mereka seperti peruntukan berjumlah RM272.5 juta yang diperuntukkan dalam Bidang Utama Keberhasilan Negara (NKRA) di bawah pengurangan kadar jenayah bagi \u201cMeningkatkan Kepuasan Awam terhadap Prestasi Anggota Polis\u201d. Daripada menghabiskan wang pembayar cukai untuk memperbaiki anggota polis dan mengurangkan jenayah sebenar, BN memutuskan untuk menggunakan peruntukan tersebut bagi menjalankan praktis perhubungan awam kosong yang hanya memberi manfaat politik kepada para perunding dan pengiklan berkaitan. Dengan pemikiran begini, ia seolah-olah memberi gambaran kepada umum untuk percaya bahawa kadar jenayah kian menurun di dalam negara kita. <\/p>\n Lebih memburukkan adalah sebanyak RM386 juta telah diperuntukkan untuk mewujudkan tambahan 57 Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia (KR1M) di Sabah dan Sarawak atau RM6.7 juta untuk sebuah kedai. Peruntukan ini mungkin akan memberi manfaat kepada mereka yang memperoleh kontrak untuk mengendalikan kedai-kedai tersebut iaitu Mydin. Di samping itu, kedai-kedai KR1M juga berkemungkinan menyebabkan peruncit-peruncit tempatan di Sabah dan Sarawak untuk gulung tikar.<\/p>\n Pada 2012, Najib telah mengumumkan pembinaan 85 kedai KR1M di Semenanjung Malaysia dengan peruntukkan berjumlah RM40 juta. Pembinaan sebuah kedai menelan belanja RM470,000. Bagi Bajet 2013, pembinaan 57 kedai KR1M di Sabah dan Sarawak menelan kos RM386 juta atau RM6.7 juta untuk sebuah kedai, iaitu peningkatan kos sebanyak 15 kali ganda berbanding RM470,000 kos sebuah kedai KR1M di Semenanjung Malaysia. <\/p>\n Bolehkah BN menjustifikasikan perbelanjaan RM6.7 juta hanya untuk menubuhkan sebuah kedai KR1M yang menjual barangan keperluan asas seperti gula, beras dan garam atau kedai-kedai KR1M juga menjual barang-barang mewah seperti beg tangan berjenama, emas dan permata berlian?<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n —-mandarin version —<\/p>\n
