Press Statement by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 26 June 2013.<\/p>\n
Wreaking Political Vengeance Will Only Wreck Malaysia\u2019s Aspirations Of Transforming Into A High-Income Developed Economy By 2020 If There Is No Focus On Economic Structural Reforms Centered On Malaysia\u2019s Comparative And Competitive Advantage As Well As Diversifying Our Growth Sectors. Malaysia needs to accelerate structural reforms to ensure that its economy remains diversified and dynamic. The challenge will be whether the present BN Federal government can implement sound economic policies or will still be a captive of its mindless anger at becoming a minority government following the loss of its popular vote by winning only 47% against 51% for PR in the recent general elections.<\/p>\n The vindictive action of the Melaka state government in closing down the Jonker Walk night trading center in revenge for losing seats in the last general elections does not augur well for responsible economic policy-making and nation-building. Any failure to unite but seeks to further divide and discriminate Malaysians will only cause further damage to Malaysia\u2019s economy filled with rampant corruption evidenced by the highest illicit outflow of funds per capita in the world and the disturbing rise in federal government debt from RM 266 billion at end 2007 to RM 502 billion at end 2012.<\/p>\n BN\u2019s focus on wreaking political vengeance will only wreck Malaysia\u2019s aspirations of transforming into a high-income developed economy by 2020 if there is no focus on economic structural reforms centered on Malaysia\u2019s comparative and competitive advantage as well as diversifying our growth sectors. This short-sightedness can be seen by BN\u2019s refusal to leverage in on existing world-class and internationally accepted manufacturing clusters in Penang such as electrical and electronic, medical devices and aerospace.<\/p>\n Instead the BN Federal government appears to be focusing on political partisanships by neglecting states with comparative and competitive advantages such as Penang, by pouring money in building up from scratch manufacturing clusters in states other than PR. This had contributed to high-tech manufacturing declining and commodities increasing as a share of Malaysia exports.<\/p>\n As the World Bank advised, to reach its goal of becoming a high-income nation, Malaysia will need to continue building skills and institutions that will support further diversification towards higher productive investments through improvements in human capital. Policies such as allowing only those working in the Iskandar Region the benefit of the flat 15% personal income tax rate is discriminatory and must be extended throughout nationally.<\/p>\n Lim Guan Eng Kenyataan Media Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Lim Guan Eng, di Komtar, George Town pada 26 Jun 2013.<\/p>\n Politik Dendam Hanya Akan Menghancurkan Aspirasi untuk Melaksanakan Transformasi Negara kepada Ekonomi Membangun Berpendapatan Tinggi Menjelang 2020 jika Tiada Tumpuan Kepada Reformasi Struktur Ekonomi Terhadap Kelebihan Daya Saing dan Komparatif dan juga Mempelbagaikan Sektor Pembangunanan Negara.<\/strong><\/p>\n Bank Dunia adalah tepat apabila menjangkakan ekonomi Malaysia berkembang pada kadar 5.1 peratus pada 2013 dan 2014, maka wujud keperluan untuk mempercepatkan reformasi struktural bagi memastikan kerencaman dan kedinamikan ekonomi negara. Menurut Bank Dunia kebergantungan berlebihan kepada komoditi seperti minyak mentah, gas asli, getah dan sawit yang kini mengalami kejatuhan harga, berbanding pembuatan telah memberikan tekanan terhadap kadar pembangunan bagi negara pengeksport komoditi seperti Malaysia Cabarannya sama ada Kerajaan Persekutuan Barisan Nasional mampu melaksanakan dasar ekonomi ini atau masih terperangkap dalam kemarahan kerana menjadi kerajaan minoriti akibat kehilangan undi popular dengan memenangi hanya 47% pada pilihan raya umum yang lalu.<\/p>\n Tindakan dendam Kerajaan Negeri Melaka yang menutup pusat kegiatan perniagaan malam Jonker Walk sebagai balasan kerana kekalahan banyak kerusi dalam pilihan raya yang lalu tidak mencerminkan pembuatan dasar yang bertanggungjawab dan pembinaan negara-bangsa. Kegagalan menyatukan rakyat dan malahan kelihatan semakin memecah-belahkan serta mendiskriminasi warga Malaysia hanya akan memburukkan ekonomi negara yang sedia sarat dengan korupsi termasuk kadar aliran keluar wang negara per kapita tertinggi di dunia. Di samping peningkatan hutang negara yang menakutkan daripada RM266 billion pada hujung 2007 kepada RM502 billion pada akhir 2012.<\/p>\n Fokus BN terhadap politik dendam ini hanya akan menghancurkan aspirasi untuk melaksanakan transformasi negara kepada ekonomi membangun berpendapatan tinggi menjelang 2020 jika tiada tumpuan kepada reformasi struktur ekonomi terhadap kelebihan daya saing dan komparatif dan juga mempelbagaikan sektor pembangunanan negara. Sikap dangkal ini dapat dilihat melalui keengganan BN untuk memanfaatkan klauster sedia ada di Pulau Pinang yang bertaraf antarabangsa dan diiktiraf dunia seperti dalam sektor elektrikal dan elektronik, peralatan perubatan dan industri ero-angkasa.<\/p>\n Sebaliknya, Kerajaan Persekutuan Barisan Nasional kelihatan memberi tumpuan kepada politik kepartian dengan mengabaikan negeri yang memiliki kelebihan bandingan dan berdaya saing seperti Pulau Pinang, dengan mencurahkan wang dalam membina dari awal infrastruktur asas di negeri selain negeri PR. Tindakan ini mengakibatkan pembuatan berteknologi tinggi menurun dan meningkatkan kebergantungan kepada komoditi sebagai bahagian eksport Malaysia.<\/p>\n Sebagaimana yang dinasihatkan oleh Bank Dunia, bagi mencapai matlamatnya menjadi negara berpendapatan tinggi, Malaysia harus terus menggilap bakat dan membina institusi yang menyokong kerencaman ke arah pelaburan dengan pulangan tinggi melalui peningkatan modal insan. Dasar seperti membenarkan hanya mereka yang bekerja di Wilayah Iskandar menikmati kadar cukai peribadi pada kadar rata 15% adalah suatu tindakan diskriminasi dan sepatutnya di perluaskan ke seluruh negara.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n —-Mandarin Version —<\/p>\n \u69df\u5dde\u9996\u5e2d\u90e8\u957f\u6797\u51a0\u82f1\u4e8e2013\u5e746\u670826\u65e5\u5728\u69df\u57ce\u4e54\u6cbb\u5e02\u53d1\u8868\u58f0\u660e\uff1a<\/p>\n \u5982\u679c\u6211\u56fd\u518d\u4e0d\u4f9d\u636e\u6211\u56fd\u7684\u6bd4\u8f83\u4f18\u52bf\u548c\u7ade\u4e89\u4f18\u52bf\u8fdb\u884c\u7ecf\u6d4e\u7ed3\u6784\u6539\u9769\u3001\u8ba9\u7ecf\u6d4e\u9886\u57df\u66f4\u52a0\u591a\u5143\u5316\uff0c\u53cd\u800c\u4e00\u5473\u8fdb\u884c\u653f\u6cbb\u62a5\u590d\uff0c\u8fd9\u53ea\u4f1a\u7834\u574f\u9a6c\u6765\u897f\u4e9a\u6210\u4e3a\u9ad8\u6536\u5165\u5148\u8fdb\u56fd\u76842020\u5b8f\u613f\u3002 \u9a6c\u6765\u897f\u4e9a\u9700\u8981\u52a0\u5feb\u7ed3\u6784\u6539\u9769\uff0c\u4ee5\u786e\u4fdd\u5b83\u7684\u7ecf\u6d4e\u4fdd\u6301\u591a\u5143\u53ca\u6709\u6d3b\u529b\u3002\u6211\u4eec\u7684\u6311\u6218\u662f\u56fd\u9635\u8054\u90a6\u653f\u5e9c\u662f\u5426\u80fd\u591f\u6267\u884c\u6709\u6548\u529b\u7684\u7ecf\u6d4e\u653f\u7b56\uff0c\u8fd8\u662f\u5b83\u8fd8\u4f1a\u56e0\u4e3a\u5728\u5927\u9009\u8f93\u6389\u591a\u6570\u7968\uff0c\u53ea\u83b747%\u9009\u7968\uff08\u6c11\u8054\u83b751%\uff09\u6210\u4e3a\u5c11\u6570\u7968\u653f\u5e9c\uff0c\u800c\u7ee7\u7eed\u88ab\u6124\u6012\u51b2\u660f\u8111\u888b\u3002<\/p>\n \u9a6c\u516d\u7532\u5dde\u653f\u5e9c\u5173\u95ed\u9e21\u573a\u8857\u4ee5\u62a5\u590d\u5b83\u4eec\u5728\u5927\u9009\u8f93\u6389\u8bae\u5e2d\uff0c\u8fd9\u5b8c\u5168\u5bf9\u7ecf\u6d4e\u653f\u7b56\u5236\u5b9a\u53ca\u56fd\u6c11\u5efa\u8bbe\u65e0\u76ca\u3002\u5982\u679c\u6211\u4eec\u4e0d\u56e2\u7ed3\uff0c\u800c\u662f\u8981\u5206\u88c2\u53ca\u6b67\u89c6\u9a6c\u6765\u897f\u4e9a\u4eba\uff0c\u8fd9\u53ea\u4f1a\u7834\u574f\u6211\u56fd\u5df2\u7ecf\u9762\u5bf9\u4e25\u91cd\u8d2a\u6c61\u95ee\u9898\u7684\u7ecf\u6d4e\uff0c\u6570\u636e\u663e\u793a\u4ee5\u4eba\u53e3\u6bd4\u4f8b\u8ba1\u7b97\uff0c\u6211\u56fd\u7684\u975e\u6cd5\u8d44\u91d1\u5916\u6d41\u5168\u4e16\u754c\u7b2c\u4e00\uff0c\u800c\u8054\u90a6\u653f\u5e9c\u7684\u503a\u52a1\u4ece2007\u5e742660\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\uff0c\u589e\u52a0\u52302012\u5e745020\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u3002<\/p>\n \u5982\u679c\u6211\u56fd\u518d\u4e0d\u4f9d\u636e\u6211\u56fd\u7684\u6bd4\u8f83\u4f18\u52bf\u548c\u7ade\u4e89\u4f18\u52bf\u8fdb\u884c\u7ecf\u6d4e\u7ed3\u6784\u6539\u9769\u3001\u8ba9\u7ecf\u6d4e\u9886\u57df\u66f4\u52a0\u591a\u5143\u5316\uff0c\u53cd\u800c\u50cf\u56fd\u9635\u90a3\u6837\u4e00\u5473\u8fdb\u884c\u653f\u6cbb\u62a5\u590d\uff0c\u8fd9\u53ea\u4f1a\u7834\u574f\u9a6c\u6765\u897f\u4e9a\u6210\u4e3a\u9ad8\u6536\u5165\u5148\u8fdb\u56fd\u76842020\u5b8f\u613f\u3002\u56fd\u9635\u653f\u5e9c\u7684\u77ed\u89c6\u53ef\u4ee5\u4ece\u5b83\u4eec\u4e0d\u613f\u610f\u63a8\u52a8\u69df\u5dde\u73b0\u6709\u4e16\u754c\u53ca\u56fd\u9645\u5316\u7684\u5236\u9020\u4e1a\u4e2d\u5fc3\u5982\u7535\u5b50\u7535\u6c14\u3001\u533b\u7597\u53ca\u822a\u7a7a\u822a\u5929\u3002 \u6b63\u5982\u4e16\u754c\u94f6\u884c\u6240\u5efa\u8bae\uff0c\u5982\u679c\u8981\u6210\u4e3a\u9ad8\u6536\u5165\u56fd\u5bb6\uff0c\u9a6c\u6765\u897f\u4e9a\u9700\u8981\u80fd\u591f\u652f\u6301\u591a\u5143\u5316\u7684\u6280\u672f\u53ca\u673a\u6784\uff0c\u5e76\u901a\u8fc7\u6280\u672f\u53ca\u63d0\u5347\u4eba\u529b\u8d44\u539f\u671d\u9ad8\u4ea7\u91cf\u6295\u8d44\u8fc8\u5411\u3002\u4e00\u4e9b\u4f18\u60e0\u653f\u7b56\u5982\uff1a\u5728\u4f9d\u65af\u5e72\u8fbe\u7ecf\u6d4e\u7279\u533a\u5de5\u4f5c\u4eab\u6709\u6700\u9ad815%\u4e2a\u4eba\u6240\u5f97\u7a0e\u662f\u6b67\u89c6\u6027\u7684\uff0c\u5fc5\u987b\u5728\u5168\u56fd\u63a8\u884c\u3002 <\/p>\n \u6797\u51a0\u82f1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Press Statement by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 26 June 2013.

\nThe World Bank was spot-on when it said that whilst Malaysia’s economy is set to grow by 5.1 per cent in 2013 and 2014, the country needs to speed up structural reforms to ensure a diversified and dynamic economy. The World Bank said that over-reliance on commodities such as crude oil, natural gas, rubber and palm oil whose prices have dropped, rather than on manufacturing has put pressure on growth rates on a commodity-exporting country like Malaysia.<\/p>\n
