Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 4.1.2014.<\/p>\n
Only In Malaysia Will Buying A Car With A 55% Discount And Saving Public Monies Be Worthy Of Being Probed By The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) But Not When Buying Above Market Price And Wasting Public Funds.<\/strong><\/p>\n I welcome any proposed investigation by the MACC as reported by news portal Fz.com on the Penang state government\u2019s purchase of a Mercedes-Benz S300L for my official usage. Whether MACC will eventually investigate or not, full co-operation will be given to the MACC as the state government is clean and I have nothing to hide.<\/p>\n I will not be asking MACC why no investigation was conducted on BN governments who made similar purchases without the 55% discount. I am certain that MACC will find that the Penang state government is \u201cas clean as a whistle\u201d as the whole transaction of purchasing the Mercedes Benz was handled by the State Financial Officer Dato Mokhtar Mohd Jait, who had abided by proper and legal procedures with valid documentation.<\/p>\n I had criticised the purchase of 14 Mercedes E200 at RM 245,000 each purchased by the Terengganu state government in 2008 for RM 3.43 million because they were not \u2018value for money\u201d. They did not get a 55% discount for the 14 Mercedes, unlike the 55% discount obtained by the Penang state government when purchasing one Mercedes Benz.<\/p>\n Only in Malaysia will buying a car with a 55% discount and saving public monies be worthy of being probed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) but it is not worthy of MACC\u2019s investigation when buying at higher than market price and wasting public funds. The state government had bought the Mercedes Benz S300L for RM298,263.75, a 55% or RM358,954.25 discount and tax exemption from the original price of RM657,218.00.<\/p>\n I will not be surprised that MACC is probing the state government for saving money amounting to RM 358,954.25 but letting off those who buy at marked-up prices as exposed in the annual Auditor-General Reports. The latest 2012 Auditor-General Report exposed malpractices involving RM6.5 billion which include wastage of public monies such as:- No action is taken by MACC for such wastage of public funds that involves a BN government but a different approach is taken when public monies are saved by a PR government. This is really Malaysia Boleh!<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n —–BM Version —<\/p>\n Kenyataan Media Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng di Komtar, George Town Pada 4.1.2014.<\/p>\n Hanya di Malaysia Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) akan rasa harus menyiasat mengapa sebuah kereta boleh dibeli dengan diskaun 55% yang menjimatkan wang rakyat tetapi tidaknya apabila membeli melebihi harga pasaran dan membazirkan wang rakyat.<\/strong><\/p>\n Saya mengalu-alukan sebarang siasatan yang dicadangkan oleh SPRM seperti yang dilaporkan oleh portal berita Fz.com atas pembelian Mercedes-Benz S300L oleh Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang untuk kegunaan rasmi saya. Sama ada SPRM akhirnya akan menyiasat atau tidak, kerjasama sepenuhnya akan diberikan oleh kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang dan saya kepada SPRM kerana kerajaan negeri adalah bersih dan saya tidak mempunyai apa-apa untuk disembunyikan.<\/p>\n Saya tidak akan mempersoalkan SPRM mengapa tiada siasatan dijalankan ke atas kerajaan BN yang membuat pembelian yang serupa tanpa diskaun 55%. Saya pasti SPRM akan mendapati bahawa kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang adalah “bersih” kerana urus niaga keseluruhan bagi pembelian Mercedes Benz telah dikendalikan oleh Pegawai Kewangan Negeri Dato Mokhtar Mohd Jait, yang telah mematuhi semua prosedur dan undang-undang dan mempunyai dokumen yang sah. <\/p>\n Saya telah mengkritik pembelian 14 buah Mercedes E200 dengan harga RM 245,000 seunit yang dibeli oleh kerajaan negeri Terengganu pada tahun 2008 dengan kos keseluruhan RM 3.43 juta kerana tidak berpadanan dengan harganya atau tiada \u2018value for money\u2019. Mereka tidak mendapat diskaun 55% untuk 14 buah kereta Mercedes, tidak seperti diskaun 55% yang diperolehi oleh kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang apabila membeli sebuah kereta Mercedes Benz. <\/p>\n Hanya di Malaysia akan disiasat oleh Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) kerana membeli kereta dengan diskaun 55% dan menjimatkan wang rakyat tetapi SPRM jelas tidak berminat untuk menjalankan sebarang siasatan apabila ada pembelian melebihi harga pasaran dan membazirkan wang rakyat. Kerajaan negeri telah membeli Mercedes Benz S300L pada harga RM298, 263,75, dengan diskaun sebanyak 55% atau RM358, 954,25 ekoran diskaun dan pengecualian cukai berbading dengan harga asal RM657, 218.00. <\/p>\n Saya tidak akan terkejut SPRM ingin menyiasat kerajaan negeri kerana menjimatkan wang berjumlah RM 358,954.25 tetapi membiarkan mereka yang membeli berkali ganda daripada harga pasaran sebagaimana yang didedahkan dalam Laporan tahunan Ketua Audit Negara. Laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2012 menyatakan wujud pembaziran dan salahlaku yang berjumlah RM6.5 bilion termasuk:<\/p>\n \u00b7 Peralatan pasukan polis yang bernilai RM1.3 juta hilang termasuk 156 buah gari, 44 pucuk senjata, dan 29 buah kenderaan. \u00b7 Jabatan Kastam telah menghapuskan kasut yang bernilai RM600,000 yang dibeli kerana tidak sesuai dengan pegawai mereka; \u00b7 Kementerian Belia membelanjakan RM3 juta secara mewah untuk sambutan Hari Belia Kebangsaan, termasuk RM1.6 juta untuk membawa kumpulan K-Pop dari Korea; Tiada tindakan yang diambil oleh SPRM untuk pembaziran wang rakyat yang melibatkan kerajaan BN tetapi pendekatan yang berbeza diambil apabila wang rakyat dijimatkan oleh kerajaan PR.
