Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 27.10.2013.<\/p>\n
The 2014 Budget is disappointing,not only because it offered nothing to Penang being a PR-ruled state, especially by failing to fulfil BN\u2019s promise made in 2007 of building a Mass Rail Transit(MRT). The 2014 Budget was also discriminatory in providing only funding for groups that supported BN in the last general elections, until MCA leaders questioned why there was no funding for government-aided secondary schools(Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan).<\/p>\n
By continuing to divide the people into different groups and discriminating against them by denying funding given to others proves that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak\u2019s assurances at the Gerakan General Assembly yesterday that BN will uphold the principles of being moderate, progressive, centrist, inclusive and fair is just empty rhetoric that deceives no one. In other words 2014 Budget is not about 1Malaysia or national reconciliation but instead continues BN\u2019s 5D policy of being Divisive, Discriminatory, Deceit, Debt and Deficits.<\/p>\n
The government is being deceitful in saying that the proposed Goods and Services Tax(GST) of 6% which replaces the Sales Tax and the Service Tax (SST) will be reduce the tax currently paid by consumers. Based on figures given by Minister in the Prime Minister Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala that a GST of 7% would bring in RM27 billion a year or RM1,000 additional costs yearly for each one of the 27 million Malaysians?<\/p>\n
GST of 6% works out to a cost of roughly RM850 per Malaysian each year whereas Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia(BR1M) is RM650 yearly. How can an extra cost for each Malaysian of RM 850 yearly help Malaysians from the lower income group who only receives RM650 per family per year? On average, a family of 10 would get RM 650 but has to pay RM 8,500 from the 6% GST.<\/p>\n
The increase in the Federal government debt to nearly 55% of Gross Domestic Product(GDP) at RM541 billion by end of this year from RM502 billion last year shows that the Federal government is neither serious about reining in expenditure nor in fighting corruption. 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
What is most disappointing is that there are no new initiatives to fight corruption especially following Washington Post printed an article of Malaysia as the world champion of corruption. Has the Prime Minister given up on fighting corruption?<\/p>\n
BN is not serious about slashing our Budget deficit, which caused a downgrade of the credit outlook by Fitch Ratings from stable to negative. The Economic Report 2013\/14 gave the good news that the expected revenue collection for the current year 2013 is RM14.4 billion higher than the original budget projection. <\/p>\n
Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua estimated the RM14.4 billion increase in revenue should have resulted in a lowering of the projected budget deficit of 4% to 2.6% of GDP. The budget deficit for 2013 should have shrunk from RM39.9 billion to only RM 25.6 billion or 2.6%, but yet remains stubbornly at RM37 billion or 3.5% of GDP. Clearly, the government is not serious about reducing the budget deficit when it wastes extra money received on white elephant projects like the RM 5 billion 100 storey Menara Warisan.<\/p>\n
What is the savings of RM 400 million from abolishing the 34 cents sugar subsidy as compared to the RM 5billion spent on building Menara Warisan? For the Prime Minister to try to distract attention by justifying the increase in sugar prices to reduce diabetes and even improve sexual libido of men is completely inappropriate and irresponsible.<\/p>\n

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng Di Kuala Lumpur Pada 27.10.2013<\/p>\n
Bajet 2014 Penerusan lima Dasar BN, memecah-belahkan, diskriminasi, Penipuan, Hutang Dan Defisit.<\/strong><\/p>\n Bajet 2014 adalah mengecewakan, bukan sahaja kerana tidak menawarkan apa-apa untuk Pulau Pinang sebagai sebuah negeri yang diperintah PR, terutama dengan gagal untuk memenuhi janji BN yang dibuat pada tahun 2007 untuk membina sebuah Transit Aliran Massa (MRT). Bajet 2014 juga bersifat diskriminasi apabila hanya menyediakan dana untuk kumpulan yang menyokong BN dalam pilihan raya umum lalu, sehingga pemimpin-pemimpin MCA mempersoalkan mengapa tidak ada dana untuk Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan.<\/p>\n Dengan terus membahagikan rakyat ke dalam kumpulan-kumpulan yang berbeza dan melakukan diskriminasi terhadap mereka dengan menafikan pembiayaan yang diberikan kepada orang lain membuktikan bahawa jaminan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pada Perhimpunan Agung Gerakan semalam bahawa BN akan mempertahankan prinsip-prinsip yang sederhana, progresif, pertengahan, kebersamaan dan saksama hanya retorik kosong yang menipu sesiapa. Dalam erti kata lain Bajet 2014 bukan tentang perdamaian 1Malaysia atau kebangsaan tetapi sebaliknya penerusan lima dasar BN yang memecah-belahkan, diskriminasi, Penipuan, Hutang dan Defisit.<\/p>\n Kerajaan berlaku curang dengan mengatakan bahawa Cukai Barangan dan Perkhidmatan (GST) sebanyak 6% yang menggantikan Cukai Jualan dan Cukai Perkhidmatan (SST) akan mengurangkan cukai yang sedang dibayar oleh pengguna. Berdasarkan angka-angka yang diberikan oleh Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Idris Jala bahawa GST sebanyak 7% akan membawa masuk RM27 bilion setahun atau RM1, 000 kos tambahan tahunan untuk setiap seorang bagi keseluruhan 27 juta rakyat Malaysia?<\/p>\n Perlaksanaan 6% GST akan membabitkan kos kira-kira RM850 untuk setiap rakyat Malaysia setiap tahun manakala Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) adalah RM650 setiap tahun. Bagaimana mungkin kos tambahan RM850 bagi setiap rakyat Malaysia setiap tahun akan membantu rakyat Malaysia dari golongan berpendapatan rendah yang hanya menerima RM650 setiap keluarga bagi setiap tahun? Secara purata, sebuah keluarga dengan 10 orang ahli akan mendapat RM 650 tetapi perlu membayar RM 8,500 dari 6% GST.<\/p>\n Peningkatan hutang kerajaan Persekutuan kepada hampir 55% daripada Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) kepada RM541 bilion menjelang akhir tahun ini daripada RM502 bilion pada tahun lepas menunjukkan bahawa Kerajaan Persekutuan adalah tidak serius mengekang perbelanjaan dan juga membanteras rasuah. Janji menguruskan perbelanjaan berhemat tidak bermakna apabila tiada tindakan atau hukuman dikenakan terhadap mereka yang bertanggungjawab kerana membelanjakan wang rakyat secara keterlaluan, melakukan pembaziran dan salah laku kewangan berjumlah RM6.5 bilion yang telah diketengahkan dalam Laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2012 dengan memberi kesan negatif ke atas ekonomi.<\/p>\n Apa yang paling mengecewakan adalah tidak ada inisiatif baru untuk memerangi rasuah terutamanya berikutan laporan Washington Post edisi cetak mengenai Malaysia sebagai juara dunia dalam rasuah. Adakah Perdana Menteri telah putus asa dalam memerangi rasuah?<\/p>\n BN tidak serius mengenai pemotongan defisit Bajet negara, yang menyebabkan penurunan penarafan kredit oleh Fitch Ratings daripada stabil kepada negatif. Laporan Ekonomi 2013\/14 memberi berita baik bahawa kutipan hasil yang dijangka bagi tahun semasa 2013 adalah RM14.4 bilion lebih tinggi berbanding unjuran bajet asal.<\/p>\n Ahli Parlimen Petaling Jaya Utara, Tony Pua mengganggarkan peningkatan RM14.4 bilion dalam pendapatan sepatutnya menyebabkan menurunkan defisit bajet yang diunjurkan sebanyak 4% kepada 2.6% daripada KDNK. Defisit bajet untuk tahun 2013 harus menurun daripada RM39.9 bilion kepada RM25.6 bilion sahaja atau 2.6% namun masih kekal pada RM37 bilion atau 3.5% daripada KDNK. Jelas sekali, kerajaan tidak serius dalam mengurangkan defisit apabila membazirkan wang tambahan yang diterima dengan melaksanakan projek-projek gajah putih seperMenara Warisan 100 tingkat yang berharga RM5 billion. <\/p>\n Apa ertinya penjimatan sebanyak RM 400 juta daripada pengurangan 34 sen subsidi gula berbanding dengan RM5 bilion dibelanjakan untuk membina Menara Warisan? Bagi Perdana Menteri yang cuba untuk mengalihkan perhatian dengan justifikasi kenaikan harga gula untuk mengurangkan kencing manis dan juga meningkatkan nafsu seksual lelaki adalah benar-benar tidak wajar dan tidak bertanggungjawab.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n —-Mandarin Version—–<\/p>\n
