Press Statement by DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 9 July 2014<\/p>\n
Tan Sri Muhyiddin And BN Are Exploiting The Imaginary Threat Of Non-Malays And Non-Muslims As A Bogey To Instil Fear Into Malays And Muslims To Distract Attention From The Real Issue Of Rising Prices And Favoured Treatment Of BN Cronies Such As Rice And Independent Power Generation At The Expense Of Public Interest.<\/p>\n
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and BN are exploiting the imaginary threat of non-Malays and non-Muslims as a bogey to instil fear into Malays and Muslims to distract attention from the real issue of rising prices and the favoured treatment of BN cronies on essential commodities and services such as rice and Independent power generation at the expense of public interest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For example one of the important crony projects privatised in 1996 relates to our staple food, rice. With the monopoly of rice imports in Malaysia, the concession agreement was extended for Bernas to 2021 in 2011. Until now, BN has refuse to explain why such an extension of time was given.<\/p>\n
More importantly BN must come clean on why a tax waiver RM 2.25 billion of duties on rice imports between 2008 and 2013 was given to Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas). How is such a RM 2.25 billion tax waiver benefiting the public? If the price of rice did go down or the poor paddy farmers benefit in some manner, then the public can understand but if the only beneficiary is the private crony, then this is a betrayal of public interest and trust by BN. Further BN should also come clean on whether Bernas received a similar tax exemption before 2008 from the time Bernas was first privatised in 1996?<\/p>\n
Bernas\u2019s shareholders are so lucky that Bernas not only obtained a monopoly on rice imports without an open competitive tender but also a RM2.25 billion tax waiver. Were Bernas ultimate shareholders privy to information of such a huge RM2.25 billion waiver in rice import duties that it influenced the majority shareholders\u2019 decision to privatise Bernas in April and removed it from Bursa Malaysia stock listing?<\/p>\n
Another BN crony is YTL Power which was listed in 1997 after securing the concession agreement as the first IPP in Malaysia. Since then, YTL Power has paid out 36.3 per cent of earnings to shareholders as dividends with a Compounded Annual Growth Rate(CAGR) of 5.4 per cent since being listed. This compared favourably to CAGR of only 4% for the Malaysian economy in terms of GDP during that period.<\/p>\n
YTL\u2019s success in sustainable earnings and above average dividend yield is due to YTL Power\u2019s ability to secure the highest internal rate of return (IRR) for an IPP of 15-19%. And also compel Tenaga Nasonal Bhd to enter into a compulsory power purchase agreement where Tenaga must take at least 90 % cent of the capacity of its plants.<\/p>\n
If Tenaga can be compelled to purchase 90% of power produced by IPPs, why shouldn\u2019t IPPs be compelled to compensate the public or Tenaga for the breakdown in power supply as happened recently. The favourable concession agreements given to IPPs do not benefit the public in terms of lower electricity charges. Further there is an extra cost when Tenaga if forced to purchase power it does not need when it has a reserve margin of nearly 30%, one of the highest in the world.<\/p>\n
These crony projects have either cost the Malayisan government and its people to lose out on revenue it could otherwise collect. Or Malaysians must pay a higher than market price for commodities and services. Why are these BN cronies who have earned billions of ringgit not threatened in the same manner that ordinary non-Malays and non-Muslims who have not earned billions of ringgit are threatened with May 13?<\/p>\n
LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n
================================================================================================<\/p>\n
Kenyataan media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 9 Julai 2014.<\/p>\n
Tan Sri Muhyiddin dan BN sedang mengeksploitasi ancaman rekaan orang bukan Melayu dan bukan Islam sebagai momokan demi membangkitkan ketakutan orang Melayu dan orang Islam demi mengalihkan perhatian daripada isu sebenar kenaikan harga barang dan layanan khas untuk kroni BN dalam hal bekalan beras dan penjanakuasaan tenaga yang merugikan orang awam.<\/p>\n
Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin dan BN sedang mengeksploitasi ancaman rekaan orang bukan Melayu dan bukan Islam sebagai momokan demi membangkitkan ketakutan orang Melayu dan orang Islam demi mengalihkan perhatian daripada isu sebenar kenaikan harga barang dan layanan khas untuk kroni BN dalam hal bekalan beras dan penjanakuasaan tenaga yang merugikan orang awam.<\/p>\n
Sebagai contoh, salah satu projek kroni yang diswastakan pada tahun 1996 adalah berkaitan makanan ruji kita, nasi. Dengan monopoli terhadap import beras di Malaysia, perjanjian konsesi kepada Bernas dilanjutkan tempohnya sehingga 2021 pada tahun 2011. Sehingga kini, BN enggan menjelaskan kenapa tempoh tersebut dilanjutkan.<\/p>\n
Lebih penting lagi, BN mesti jujur mengenai sebab kenapa pengecualian cukai sebanyak RM2.25 bilion dari duti import beras antara tahun 2008 dan 2013 diberikan kepada Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas). Bagaimanakah pengecualian cukai sebanyak RM2.25 bilion memberi manfaat kepada orang ramai? Kalau harga beras betul-betul jatuh dan para pesawah padi miskin mendapat faedah, maka bolehlah orang ramai memahaminya; tapi jika yang mendapat faedah itu hanyalah kroni, ini pastinya merupakan satu pengkhianatan terhadap kepentingan dan kepercayaan orang ramai oleh BN. Selanjutnya, BN juga mesti berlaku jujur samada Bernas turut mendapat pengecualian cukai sebelum 2008 sejak sewaktu Bernas mula-mula diswastakan pada tahun 1996.<\/p>\n
Pemegang saham Bernas begitu bertuah sekali kerana Bernas bukan sahaja mendapatkan monopoli ke atas import beras tanpa tender terbuka tetapi juga mendapat pengecualian cukai RM2.25 bilion. Adakah pemegang saham utama Bernas mengetahui rahsia maklumat pengecualian cukai yang begitu besar sehingga RM2.5 bilion dalam duti import beras sehingga mempengaruhi keputusan majoriti pemegang saham untuk menswastakan Bernas pada bulan April dan mengeluarkannya dari senarai Bursa Malaysia?<\/p>\n
Satu lagi kroni BN ialah YTL Power yang disenaraikan pada tahun 1997 selepas berjaya mendapatkan perjanjian konsesi sebagai IPP pertama di Malaysia. Sejak itu, YTL Power telah membayar 36.3 peratus daripada hasilnya kepada pemegang saham sebagai dividen dengan Kadar Pertumbuhan Tahunan (Compounded Annual Growth Rate, CAGR) sebanyak 5.4 peratus sejak disenaraikan. Cuba bandingkan dengan CAGR sebanyak hanya 4 peratus bagi ekonomi Malaysia dari segi KDNK pada tempoh tersebut.<\/p>\n
Kejayaan YTL dalam menjana keuntungan mampan dan hasil dividen melampaui kebiasaan adalah disebabkan kemampuan YTL Power untuk mendapatkan kadar pulangan tertinggi (internal rate of return, IRR) untuk suatu IPP sebanyak 15-19%. Dan juga ia mampu memaksa Tenaga Nasional Bhd untuk bersetuju dengan perjanjian pembelian tenaga wajib di mana Tenaga mesti mengambil sekurang-kurangnya 90% daripada kapasiti loji janakuasanya.<\/p>\n
Jika Tenaga boleh dipaksa untuk membeli 90% daripada tenaga elektrik yang dijana IPP, kenapa pula para IPP tidak boleh dipaksa untuk memberi pampasan kepada orang awam atau Tenaga sendiri atas kegagalan bekalan elektrik yang berlaku baru-baru ini. Perjanjian konsesi yang diberikan kepada IPP tidak memberi faedah kepada orang ramai dari segi kadar bayaran elektrik yang rendah. Selanjutnya lagi, terdapat pula kos tambahan apabila Tenaga terpaksa membeli tenaga elektrik yang ia tidak perlukan apabila ia memiliki marjin simpanan hampir 30%, iaitu antara yang tertinggi di dunia.<\/p>\n
Projek kroni ini telah merugikan kerajaan Malaysia dan rakyatnya daripada mendapatkan hasil yang sepatutnya boleh dikutip. Atau adakah rakyat Malaysia mesti membayar harga yang lebih tinggi berbanding harga pasaran untuk mendapatkan komoditi dan perkhidmatan. Kenapa kroni-kroni BN ini yang telah mendapat berbilion ringgit tidak diugut sepertimana rakyat bukan Melayu dan bukan Islam yang tidak mengaut hasil berbilion ringgit diugut dengan 13 Mei?<\/p>\n
