Speech By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng To The Penang Diaspora In Hong Kong Released In Komtar, George Town On 5.9.2013<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister can only convince the public of his sincerity and necessity of raising RON 95 petrol prices by 20 cents to save annual subsidy costs of RM 3.3 billion by also implementing open competitive tenders and fighting corruption which would save RM 51 billion annually. Without accompanying measures that demonstrates the Federal government\u2019s commitment against corruption, the public would easily see through such fake sincerity and counterfeit necessity to cut costs.<\/p>\n
Why should the people, especially lower-income groups, bear the pain of paying RM3.3 billion annually in increased petrol prices if no action is taken against those political bandits who steal the nation of RM 51 billion annually? In the PR 2013 General Election Manifesto, based on the experience of fiscal responsibility and fighting corruption by the PR state governments in Penang and Selangor, at least 25% annual savings can be obtained from government procurement contracts.<\/p>\n
The annual budget surpluses in Penang, the increase in asset reserves by 50% and the reduction of the Penang state government\u2019s debt by a record 95% attests to the effectiveness of integrity steps ranging from open competitive tenders to public declaration of assets. With an estimated RM 201 billion in Federal government procurement contracts annually, the minimum 25% savings would amount to RM51 billion.<\/p>\n
Why is the BN Federal government being \u201cpenny wise, pound foolish\u201d by not focusing on the RM 51 billion in potential savings that benefits only the few rich cronies instead of forcing 28 million Malaysians to bear the pain of RM3.3 billion from the petrol price increase? Instead of responding to such simple logic, the Federal government would try to divert attention away from the inescapable conclusion by playing up racial, religious and extremist sentiments.<\/p>\n
Such racial and extremist tactics are used successfully by BN to avoid dealing with the 4 real problems of Malaysia namely, crime, corruption, rise in indebtedness of governments and individual households as well as the declining educational standards, productivity and skills of Malaysian labour force. In Hong Kong, many investors and analysts identify these four main issues have made Malaysia less attractive or even less competitive.<\/p>\n
Reducing crime is not that difficult if the BN Federal government is willing to let the police fight crime instead of monitoring opposition leaders. Presently only 10% of the police force are involved in crime investigation work. If that proportion is increased to 50% of the total police force, I am certain police omnipresence will be able to defeat criminals in Malaysia.<\/p>\n
BN claims the Federal government\u2019s debt is 54% of the GDP. However this does not include guaranteed government debt which would increase total Federal government debt to 70%. If the 70% debt to GDP ratio is high, household debt is higher at 83.5% of GDP. Such addiction to debt is symptomatic of the fiscal recklessness of borrowing to spend its way out of our country\u2019s problems. The Federal government should show leadership by example to individual households by reducing its dependency of debt.<\/p>\n
The Federal government has also failed to invest in the future by investing in quality education. Many high technology knowledge-intensive foreign investors lament about the poor and declining quality of our workforce at all levels, especially the poor command of English. With BN\u2019s fixation on mediocrity instead of a culture of excellence, on political quotas rather than performance and on empty rhetoric rather than concrete action, Malaysia risks being left behind by not only high-tech foreign investors but also our best talents leaving to other countries like Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
The Penang state government is boldly offering a model where performance is prized above political background, where concerted efforts are made to attract quality educational institutions at all levels, where a honest and competent government in partnership with both the private sector and civil sector as well as a livable city that is safe, clean, green and healthy can provide a solution to these four problems.<\/p>\n

\nUcapan Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng Kepada Diaspora Pulau Pinang Di Hong Kong , Diterbitkan di Komtar, George Town Pada 5.9.2013
\nHanya Dengan Melaksanakan Tender Terbuka Yang Berdaya Saing Dan Membanteras Rasuah Akan Menjimatkan RM51 Bilion Setahun, Membolehkan Perdana Menteri Membuktikan Keikhlasan beliau Atau Membenarkan Tuntutan Palsu Menaikan harga RON 95 sebanyak 20 sen bagi menjimatkan kos subsidi RM3.3 billion setahun. <\/p>\n
Perdana Menteri hanya boleh meyakinkan orang ramai akan keikhlasan beliau dan keperluan menaikkan harga petrol RON 95 sebanyak 20 sen untuk menjimatkan kos subsidi tahunan sebanyak RM 3.3 bilion dengan turut melaksanakan tender terbuka yang berdaya saing dan melawan rasuah yang akan menjimatkan RM 51 bilion setiap tahun. Tanpa langkah-langkah yang menunjukkan komitmen Kerajaan Persekutuan terhadap rasuah, orang ramai akan dengan mudah mempersoalkan keikhlasan kerajaan dan melihat tuntutan untuk mengurangkan kos sebagai palsu.<\/p>\n
Mengapa rakyat, terutamanya golongan berpendapatan rendah, perlu menanggung penderitaan membayar RM3.3 bilion setahun kerana peningkatan harga petrol jika tiada tindakan diambil terhadap penyamun politik yang mencuri RM51 bilion setiap tahun daripada negara ini? Dalam Manifesto Pilihanraya Umum Pakatan Rakyat 2013, berdasarkan pengalaman tanggungjawab fiskal dan memerangi rasuah oleh kerajaan negeri PR di Pulau Pinang dan Selangor, sekurang-kurangnya penjimatan 25% setahun boleh dicapai daripada kontrak perolehan kerajaan.<\/p>\n
Lebihan bajet tahunan di Pulau Pinang, peningkatan rizab aset sebanyak 50% dan pengurangan hutang kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang dengan rekod 95% membuktikan keberkesanan langkah-langkah integriti dari tender terbuka yang berdaya saing kepada pengisytiharan awam aset. Dengan anggaran RM 201 billion kontrak perolehan Kerajaan Persekutuan setiap tahun, penjimatan minimum 25% akan berjumlah RM51 bilion.<\/p>\n
Mengapa kerajaan Persekutuan BN bersikap berkira pada satu sisi tetapi membenarkan pembaziran yang besar pada sisi lain dengan tidak memberi tumpuan kepada potensi penjimatan RM 51 bilion yang memberi manfaat kepada hanya beberapa kroni kaya dan bukannya memaksa 28 juta rakyat Malaysia menanggung RM3.3 bilion daripada kenaikan harga petrol?Bukan sahaja Kerajaan Persekutuan gagal melaksanakan logik mudah ini, mereka sebaliknya cuba mengalihkan perhatian dari kesimpulan yang tidak dapat dielakkan dengan memainkan perkauman, sentimen agama dan pelampau.<\/p>\n
Taktik perkauman dan pelampau digunakan dengan jayanya oleh BN untuk mengelakkan daripada mendepani 4 masalah sebenar Malaysia, iaitu, jenayah, rasuah, peningkatan hutang kerajaan dan setiap isi rumah serta penurunan taraf pendidikan, produktiviti dan kemahiran tenaga buruh Malaysia. Di Hong Kong, ramai pelabur dan penganalisis mengenal pasti empat isu utama ini yang menjadikan Malaysia kurang menarik atau kurang berdaya saing.<\/p>\n
Mengurangkan jenayah tidak begitu sukar jika kerajaan Persekutuan BN bersedia untuk membenarkan polis memerangi jenayah dan bukannya memantau pemimpin pembangkang. Pada masa ini hanya 10% daripada pasukan polis yang terlibat dalam penyiasatan jenayah. Jika jumlah ini meningkat kepada 50% daripada pasukan polis keseluruhannya, saya pasti polis akan dapat menumpaskan penjenayah di Malaysia dengan lebih berkesan.<\/p>\n
BN mendakwa hutang Kerajaan Persekutuan kini 54% daripada KDNK. Walau bagaimanapun ini tidak termasuk hutang dijamin kerajaan yang akan meningkatkan jumlah hutang Kerajaan Persekutuan kepada 70%. Jika hutang 70% kepada nisbah KDNK adalah tinggi, hutang isi rumah adalah lebih tinggi pada 83.5% daripada KDNK. Kebergantungan sedemikian kepada hutang adalah kesan pinjaman fiskal melulu sebagai jalan keluar mudah dari masalah negara kita. Kerajaan Persekutuan perlu menunjukkan kepimpinan melalui teladan kepada setiap isi rumah dengan mengurangkan pergantungan hutang.<\/p>\n
Kerajaan Persekutuan juga telah gagal untuk melabur untuk masa depan tanpa melabur dalam pendidikan yang berkualiti. Banyak pelabur asing dalam bidang teknologi tinggi berintensifkan pengetahuan merungut tentang kemerosotan kualiti dan penurunan tenaga kerja negara ini di semua peringkat, terutamanya penguasaan lemah Bahasa Inggeris. Dengan penetapan piawaian BN pada tahap cukup makan semata-mata dan bukannya budaya kecemerlangan, kepada kuota politik dan bukannya prestasi dan retorik kosong dan bukannya tindakan konkrit, Malaysia berisiko ditinggalkan bukan sahaja oleh pelabur asing berteknologi tinggi tetapi juga bakat terbaik kita yang berhijrah ke negara-negara lain seperti Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
Kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang berani menawarkan model di mana prestasi adalah lebih penting berbanding latar belakang politik, di mana usaha dibuat untuk menarik institusi pendidikan yang berkualiti di semua peringkat, di mana sebuah kerajaan yang jujur dan cekap melalui perkongsian dengan sektor swasta dan sektor awam serta sebuah bandar yang selamat, bersih, hijau dan sihat boleh memberikan penyelesaian kepada empat masalah yang disebut di atas.<\/p>\n
