Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 6.2.2014.<\/p>\n
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin\u2019s announcement that Cabinet would not impose any toll hikes for 2014, is an opportunistic political tactic clearly intended to please voters for BN in the Kajang by-election on 23 March 2014. BN federal government has only changed the music but not the words by freezing highway toll hikes for one year by paying RM 400 million in compensation to highway concessionaires. <\/p>\n
Despite promising in its 2013 general election manifesto to reduce intra-city toll rates, the BN Federal government sounded out to the public that several tolls are due for a hike this year. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar has even said that those who disagreed with the toll hikes can use “alternative”, non-tolled roads instead when there are no such alternative roads for some routes. <\/p>\n
BN is clearly only changing with the music but not the words, when the highway concessionaires do not lose out and can still profit with the RM400 million compensaton from the Federal government.This is no solution when the RM 400 million compensation will ultimately be borne and paid by the rakyat. Why should the few toll concessionaires benefit at the expense of 28 million ordinary Malaysians? <\/p>\n
This short-term solution is only for this year as toll hikes will have to be imposed for next year in 2015 unless the BN Federal government freezes toll hikes by paying out another RM400 million. This tactical move for the Kajang by-election shows that BN has completely forgotten how to govern and is merely approaching its rule day by day based not on any principles of public interest but solely on political expediency. <\/p>\n
Real reforms of the unfair highway toll contracts will only be carried out when there is no need to use public monies to pay compensation by the Federal government when toll hikes are deferred or abolished. After all, some of the highway toll operators(the Penang Bridge operator have collected more than RM2 billion with costs of RM1.3 billion) have already benefited and recouped their original capital investments, what they are getting now are clean profits.<\/p>\n

Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 6 Februari 2014 <\/p>\n
Kerajaan Persekutuan Barisan Nasional hanya berubah nada, namun tidak pada kata-katanya dalam hal pembekuan kenaikan kadar tol selama setahun dan membuat bayaran RM400 juta kepada syarikat konsesi tol.<\/strong><\/p>\n Pengumuman yang dibuat Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yaasin bahawa Kabinet tidak akan mengenakan sebarang kenaikan tol dalam tahun 2014 adalah satu taktik oportunis yang jelas digunakan oleh BN untuk menyenangkan hati pengundi BN di Kajang pada 23 Mac 2014. Kerajaan Persekutuan Barisan Nasional hanya berubah nada, namun tidak pada kata-katanya dalam hal pembekuan kenaikan kadar tol selama setahun dan membuat bayaran RM400 juta kepada syarikat konsesi tol.<\/p>\n Walaupun mereka berjanji dalam manifesto pilihanraya pada tahun 2013 untuk mengurangkan kadar tol antara bandar, Kerajaan Persekutuan BN telah mengumumkan bahawa akan terdapat banyak kenaikan kadar tol pada tahun ini. Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar malah memberitahu bahawa mereka yang tidak bersetuju dengan kenaikan kadar tol boleh menggunakan jalan alternatif yang tidak bertol, meskipun tidak ada sebarang jalan alternatif untuk sesetengah laluan. <\/p>\n BN jelas sekali hanya menukar nada, tetapi tidak mengubah kata-katanya apabila syarikat konsesi lebuhraya tidak rugi sedikitpun malah masih mengaut untung dengan bayaran pampasan sebanyak RM400 juta daripada Kerajaan Persekutuan. Ini bukanlah jalan penyelesaian yang tepat memandangkan RM400 juta tersebut akhirnya akan ditanggung dan dibayar juga oleh rakyat. Kenapa mesti beberapa syarikat konsesi tol mendapat faedah hasil kerugian 28 juta rakyat biasa? <\/p>\n Penyelesaian jangka pendek ini hanyalah untuk tahun ini, kadar tol pastinya akan naik juga pada tahun 2015 kecuali seandainya Kerajaan Persekutuan BN membekukan kenaikan tersebut juga dan membayar pampasan RM400 juta sekali lagi. Langkah taktikal demi pilihanraya kecil Kajang ini menunjukkan bahawa BN sudah sama sekali terlupa bagaimana untuk mentadbir dan hanya melakukan pendekatan memerintah sehari demi sehari hanya berdasarkan ketergesaan politik dan bukan prinsip kepentingan umum.<\/p>\n Reformasi sebenar terhadap kontrak lebuhraya yang begitu berat sebelah hanya dapat dilaksanakan apabila tidak ada keperluan untuk menggunakan wang rakyat bagi membuat bayaran pampasan kepada syarikat tol oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan apabila kenaikan kadar tol ditunda atau dimansuhkan. Lagipun kebanyakan operator lebuhraya bertol sudahpun mendapat faedah dan pulangan modal asal (operator Jambatan Pulau Pinang telah mengutip lebih RM2 bilion, dengan kos asal RM1.3 bilion); apa yang mereka perolehi sekarang adalah keuntungan bersih semata-mata. <\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n ——Mandarin Version —-<\/p>\n \u6c11\u4e3b\u884c\u52a8\u515a\u79d8\u4e66\u957f\u517c\u5cc7\u773c\u533a\u56fd\u4f1a\u8bae\u5458\u6797\u51a0\u82f1\u4e8e2014\u5e742\u67086\u65e5\u5728\u5409\u9686\u5761\u53d1\u8868\u58f0\u660e\uff1a<\/p>\n \u56fd\u9635\u8054\u90a6\u653f\u5e9c\u53ea\u662f\u6362\u6c64\u4e0d\u6362\u836f\uff0c\u4ed6\u4eec\u51bb\u7ed3\u5927\u9053\u8d77\u4ef7\u4e00\u5e74\uff0c\u5374\u9700\u8981\u7f34\u4ed84\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u7684\u8d54\u6b3e\u7ed9\u5927\u9053\u516c\u53f8\u3002<\/strong><\/p>\n \u526f\u9996\u76f8\u4e39\u65af\u91cc\u6155\u5c24\u4e01\u5ba3\u5e03\u5185\u9601\u5c06\u4e0d\u4f1a\u5141\u8bb8\u4efb\u4f55\u5927\u9053\u57282014\u5e74\u8d77\u4ef7\uff0c\u8fd9\u662f\u673a\u4f1a\u4e3b\u4e49\u653f\u6cbb\u4f0e\u4fe9\uff0c\u53ea\u662f\u4e3a\u4e86\u8ba8\u597d\u5c06\u57282014\u5e743\u670823\u65e5\u52a0\u5f71\u8865\u9009\u6295\u7968\u7684\u9009\u6c11\u3002\u56fd\u9635\u8054\u90a6\u653f\u5e9c\u53ea\u662f\u6362\u6c64\u4e0d\u6362\u836f\uff0c\u4ed6\u4eec\u51bb\u7ed3\u5927\u9053\u8d77\u4ef7\u4e00\u5e74\uff0c\u5374\u9700\u8981\u7f34\u4ed84\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u7684\u8d54\u6b3e\u7ed9\u5927\u9053\u516c\u53f8\u3002<\/p>\n \u5c3d\u7ba1\u56fd\u9635\u57282013\u5e74\u5168\u56fd\u5927\u9009\u5ba3\u8a00\u627f\u8bfa\u51cf\u5c11\u5e02\u5185\u5927\u9053\u6536\u8d39\uff0c\u56fd\u9635\u8054\u90a6\u653f\u5e9c\u5374\u5bf9\u516c\u4f17\u8bf4\uff0c\u4eca\u5e74\u6570\u4e2a\u5927\u9053\u5c06\u4f1a\u8d77\u4ef7\u3002\u9996\u76f8\u7f72\u90e8\u957f\u62ff\u7763\u65af\u91cc\u963f\u90fd\u74e6\u5e0c\u5965\u5c14\u739b\u751a\u81f3\u8bf4\u8fc7\uff0c\u90a3\u4e9b\u4e0d\u8ba4\u540c\u5927\u9053\u6536\u8d39\u7684\u4eba\u58eb\u53ef\u4ee5\u4f7f\u7528\u201c\u66ff\u4ee3\u516c\u8def\u201d\u5373\u65e0\u6536\u8d39\u516c\u8def\uff0c\u4e8b\u5b9e\u4e0a\uff0c\u4e00\u4e9b\u6536\u8d39\u5927\u9053\u5e76\u6ca1\u6709\u66ff\u4ee3\u516c\u8def\u3002<\/p>\n \u5f88\u660e\u663e\u5730\uff0c\u56fd\u9635\u53ea\u662f\u6362\u6c64\u4e0d\u6362\u836f\uff0c\u5927\u9053\u516c\u53f8\u6839\u672c\u6ca1\u6709\u635f\u5931\uff0c\u800c\u4e14\u8fd8\u53ef\u4ee5\u8d5a\u5230\u8054\u90a6\u653f\u5e9c\u8d54\u507f\u76844\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u3002\u8fd9\u7b144\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u7684\u8d54\u6b3e\u6839\u672c\u6ca1\u6709\u89e3\u51b3\u65b9\u6848\uff0c\u6700\u7ec8\u8fd8\u662f\u8981\u7531\u4eba\u6c11\u4e70\u5355\u3002\u4e3a\u4ec0\u4e48\u8981\u727a\u7272\u5168\u9a6c2800\u4e07\u4eba\u6c11\u7684\u5229\u76ca\uff0c\u8ba9\u51e0\u4e2a\u5927\u9053\u516c\u53f8\u888b\u888b\u5e73\u5b89\uff1f<\/p>\n \u8fd9\u9879\u77ed\u671f\u65b9\u6848\u53ea\u9650\u4eca\u5e74\uff0c\u5230\u4e862015\u5e74\uff0c\u8fd8\u662f\u4e00\u6837\u8981\u8d77\u4ef7\uff0c\u9664\u975e\u8054\u90a6\u653f\u5e9c\u518d\u6b21\u51bb\u7ed3\u8d77\u4ef7\uff0c\u7136\u540e\u518d\u7f34\u4ed8\u53e6\u4e00\u7b144\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u7684\u8d54\u6b3e\u3002\u8fd9\u9879\u6743\u5b9c\u4e4b\u8ba1\u662f\u4e3a\u4e86\u52a0\u5f71\u8865\u9009\uff0c\u663e\u793a\u56fd\u9635\u5b8c\u5168\u5fd8\u8bb0\u8981\u5982\u4f55\u6cbb\u7406\uff0c\u6bcf\u5929\u53ea\u662f\u8d70\u4e00\u6b65\u3001\u7b97\u4e00\u6b65\uff0c\u5e76\u4e0d\u662f\u4f9d\u636e\u4ec0\u4e48\u516c\u5171\u5229\u76ca\u539f\u5219\uff0c\u800c\u662f\u884c\u4f7f\u653f\u6cbb\u6743\u5b9c\u4e4b\u8ba1\u3002<\/p>\n \u552f\u6709\u5728\u5f53\u5c40\u4e0d\u9700\u8981\u62ff\u51fa\u516c\u6b3e\u7f34\u4ed8\u8d54\u6b3e\uff0c\u4fbf\u53ef\u4ee5\u963b\u6b62\u6216\u5e9f\u9664\u5927\u9053\u6536\u8d39\uff0c\u8fd9\u624d\u7b97\u662f\u4e0d\u516c\u5e73\u5927\u9053\u5408\u7ea6\u7684\u771f\u6b63\u6539\u9769\u3002\u6bd5\u7adf\uff0c\u4e00\u4e9b\u5927\u9053\u516c\u53f8\uff08\u4f8b\u5982\uff1a\u69df\u57ce\u5927\u6865\u5df2\u7ecf\u5f81\u6536\u8d85\u8fc720\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u7684\u8fc7\u8def\u8d39\uff0c\u8d85\u51fa\u5176\u6210\u672c13\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u3002\uff09\u65e9\u5c31\u5df2\u7ecf\u56de\u672c\uff0c\u76ee\u524d\u7684\u6536\u5165\u53ea\u662f\u51c0\u8d5a\u3002<\/p>\n \u6797\u51a0\u82f1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 6.2.2014.
