Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng And MP For Bagan In Kuala Lumpur On 16.10.2013.<\/p>\n
In Failing To Stop Corruption, The Prime Minister Must Explain Plans To Cut State Subsidies, Broaden Its Tax Base And Manage Spending ‘Prudently’ To Avoid Malaysia\u2019s Credit Rating From Being Cut By Fitch Ratings.<\/strong><\/p>\n Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak must explain how he plans to cut state subsidies, broaden its tax base and manage spending ‘prudently’ to avoid Malaysia\u2019s credit rating from being cut by Fitch Ratings. Fitch Ratings had cutMalaysia\u2019s credit outlook from stable to negative in July, citing rising debt levels and a lack of budgetary reform.<\/p>\n At 53.3%, Malaysia’s debt-to-gross domestic product(GDP) ratio is the highest among 12 emerging Asian markets after Sri Lanka. With government guarantees, the government’s credit exposure was 70.2% of GDP as of the end of the second quarter, up from 66.6% a year earlier. Malaysia household debt to GDP ratio is even higher at 83% as at 2013, up from 66.7% in 2004, the second highest in Asia.<\/p>\n Is Najib talking about further increase in petrol, sugar and food prices when he talked of cutting state subsidies? Is Najib going to implement open competitive tenders to cut down crony capitalism when he talked of managing spending prudently?<\/p>\n Promises of managing spending prudently is meaningless when no action or punishment is meted out against those responsible for the excesses, wastage and financial wrongdoings amounting to RM6.5 billion that were highlighted in the 2012 Auditor-General Report with a negative impact on the economy.<\/p>\n When Najib talks about broadening the country\u2019s tax base, is he talking about imposing Goods & Services Tax of 7% that Minister in the Prime Minister Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala announced would bring in RM27 billion a year? This would cost each of the 28 million Malaysians an additional cost burden of an average of RM1,000 a year.<\/p>\n Najib has a responsibility to clarify what he meant, especially when the BN Federal government has failed to fight corruption until Washington Post printed an article of Malaysia as the world champion of corruption. Even renowned financial analyst Jesse Colombo wrote in the Forbes online magazine that Malaysia economic bubble will burst due to Malaysia’s high government and household debt.<\/p>\n Interestingly, Colombo said that plans to build the tallest building in Southeast Asia, the 118-story and RM5 billion Warisan Merdeka Tower, is a major Skyscraper Index red flag. The Skyscraper Index red flag refers to a Dresdner Kleinwort report in 2009 which showed a correlation between the construction of the world\u2019s tallest buildings and the impending end of business cycles.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n — BM version —<\/p>\n Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng pada 16 Oktober 2013. Perdana Menteri mesti menjelaskan rancangan untuk memotong subsidi, meluaskan sumber cukai dan menguruskan perbelanjaan dengan berhemat bagi mengelak penilaian kredit Malaysia dari dipotong oleh Fitch Ratings. Agensi penilaian tersebut telah menukar unjuran kredit Malaysia daripada stabil menjadi negatif pada bulan Julai, berdasarkan kadar hutang yang semakin meningkat dan kekurangan reformasi belanjawan.<\/p>\n Pada kadar 53.3% kadar hutang negara kepada KDNK adalah yang paling tinggi di kalangan 12 pasaran baru muncuk Asia selepas Sri Lanka. Dengan jaminan kerajaan, pendedahan kredit kerajaan berada pada kadar 70.2% daripada KDNK pada penghujung suku kedua, meningkat berbanding 66.6% setahun sebelum itu. Kadar hutang isi rumah berbanding KDNK pula jauh lebih tinggi pada 83% pada 2013, meningkat berbanding 66.7% pada 2004, yang kedua tertinggi di Asia. Janji-janji untuk menguruskan perbelanjaan secara berhemah tidak bermakna apabila tidak ada tindakan atau hukuman diberikan terhadap mereka yang bertanggungjawab ke atas lebihan, pembaziran dan salah laku kewangan berjumlah RM6.5 bilion seperti yang diperlihatkan dalam Laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2012 yang memberi kesan negatif kepada ekonomi.<\/p>\n Apabila Najib menyebut tentang memperluas tapak percukaian negara, adakah beliau bercakap tentang melaksanakan cukai GST sebanyak 7% yang disebut Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, datuk Seri Idris Jala dapat memberi pulangan RM27 bilion setahun? Ini akan membebankan setiap seorang daripada 28 juta rakyat Malaysia sebanyak RM1000 setiap seorang setiap tahun. Yang menariknya, Colombo menyebut bahawa rancangan membina bangunan tertinggi di Asia Tenggara, Menara Warisan Merdeka bernilai RM5bilion dengan 118 tingkat, memberi satu amaran besar dalam Indeks Pencakar Langit (Skyscraper Index). Amaran Indeks Pencakar Langit itu merujuk kepada laporan Dresdner Kleinwort pada tahun 2009 yang menunjukkan kaitan antara pembinaan bangunan tertinggi dunia dengan berakhirnya kitaran bisnes. —

Adakah Najib akan melaksanakan tender terbuka untuk mengurangkan kapitalisme kroni apabila beliau bercakap tentang menguruskan perbelanjaan secara berhemah.<\/p>\n
\nNajib bertanggungjawab untuk memperjelaskan apa maksud sebenarnya, terutamanya apabila kerajaan persekutuan BN gagal menangani rasuah sehingga Washington Post pun menyiarkan rencana tentang Malaysia menjadi juara dunia dalam hal rasuah. Malah penganalisis kewangan terkemuka Jesse Colombo juga turut menulsi di majalah Forbes bahawa buih ekonomi Malaysia bakal meletup disebabkan keterhutangan kerajaan dan isi rumah yang tinggi.<\/p>\n
