Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 7.5.2015<\/p>\n
I am surprised that Heng Seai Kie is asking me to apologise for a banner put up by PKR during the Permatang Pauh by-election. I have no intention of doing so. It is ridiculous for the MCA Wanita chief and Deputy Minister to claim that the Chinese community does not have any reason to oppose the GST and that Malays will pay more GST because they have more children. GST affects all Malaysians regardless of race and religion.<\/p>\n
In the quest to win Permatang Pauh parliamentary by-election, BN and UMNO has lost both honour and dignity by the antics of their Ministers making lies, threats and racist attacks against the Penang state government. Agriculture Minister Ismail Sabri Yaacub even threatened that farmers in Permatang Pauh will not get any funds if UMNO lost.<\/p>\n
The Penang state government will rebut the lies, made with racist overtones, by BN and UMNO Ministers and Deputy Ministers during the Permatang Pauh by-election campaign with facts and figures. Just because I am the only non-Malay Chief Minister in Malaysia, does not give UMNO Ministers the right or license to bully me by launching provocative racist attacks with lies.<\/p>\n
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyidin Yassin led the charge by claiming that the state government failed to look after bumi contractors. The Penang state government then revealed that since 2008, RM8.3 billion in contracts were awarded under our open competitive tender system. Of this RM8.3 billion, RM7.8 billion or 94% of total contracts, were awarded to bumis.<\/p>\n
Muhyiddin kept silent and did not dare to respond to this unrebuttable fact that 94% of state government contracts were awarded to bumi companies. Even the Permatang Pauh UMNO candidate Suhaimie Shabudin who is a contractor, became mute by not daring to answer the press on whether companies which he is involved, had benefited or obtained state government contracts.<\/p>\n
The RM8.3 billion of contracts awarded and the 94% increase in investment to RM 48.2 billion from 2008-2014, as compared to the similar 7-year period of 2001-7 of RM24.9 billion, has quickly disproved BN\u2019s claims that there was no development in Permatang Pauh or Penang. For Permatang Pauh RM8.2 million cash was disbursed to the voters, and RM44.4 million has been spent on infrastructure such as roads, drainage, market upgrading and community halls since 2008.<\/p>\n
This was then followed by attacks against the Penang state government for marginalising Islam. Again we showed proof that allocations given by PR state government more than doubled compared to what was approved by the previous BN state government, from RM 25.5 million by BN in 2008 to RM 52.2 million by PR in 2014.<\/p>\n
The latest allegations by Deputy Minister for Energy, Green Technology and Water Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid denying that the Federal government had asked for a water tariff hike, even though Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara(SPAN) had been reported in the papers on 25 April 2015 as calling for a water tariff hike nation-wide. Similarly Works Minister Fadillah Yusof claimed that the Federal government road grants given to Penang, were not utilised fully with only RM12.8 million utilised out of the RM27.37 million granted for the first 3 months as at 31 March 2015. Fadillah added that last year, Penang only used RM 53 million out of the RM 64 million granted. This is untrue and will rebutted with facts that showed that the road grants were fully used.<\/p>\n
Winning and losing in by-elections is normal and part of the democratic process. As participants in the democratic process, politicians must respect the decision of the voters. A responsible leadership will ensure that it must win with honour and lose with dignity. Whether BN and UMNO finally wins in Permatang Pauh, their lies, threats and racist attacks have shown that they have clearly lost both their honour and dignity.<\/p>\n

=========BM==================<\/p>\n
Kenyataan media oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Lim Guan Eng di Komtar, George Town pada 7 Mei 2015 Dalam usaha untuk memenangi PRK Permatang Pauh, BN dan UMNO telah kehilangan maruah dan kehormatan mereka, ekoran telatah menteri-menteri mereka yang menipu, mengugut dan membuat serangan-serangan perkauman terhadap Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang. Menteri Pertanian, Ismail Sabri Yaakob malah mengancam bahawa para petani di Permatang Pauh tidak akan menerima dana sekiranya Umno tewas.<\/p>\n Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang akan menangkis segala penipuan yang dibuat dengan nada perkauman oleh menteri dan timbalan menteri Umno\/BN sepanjang kempen PRK Permatang Pauh dengan menggunakan fakta dan angka. Hanya kerana saya satu-satunya Ketua Menteri bukan-Melayu di Malaysia, tidak bermakna menteri Umno boleh membuli saya dengan melancarkan serangan-serangan provokatif penuh pembohongan.<\/p>\n Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin telah mengepalai serangan ini dengan mendakwa kononnya Kerajaan Negeri telah gagal menjaga kepentingan kontraktor Bumiputera. Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang pun mendedahkan bahawa sejak 2008, RM8.3 bilion kontrak telah diberikan di bawah sistem tender terbuka kompetitif kami. Daripada jumlah RM8.3 bilion ini, 94% atau RM7.8 bilion daripada jumlah besar tersebut telah diberikan kepada kontraktor Bumiputera.<\/p>\n Muhyiddin terus membisu dan tidak berani menjawab fakta bahawa 94% kontrak Kerajaan Negeri telah diberikan kepada syarikat Bumiputera. Malah calon Umno Permatang Pauh, Suhaimie Shabudin yang juga seorang kontraktor, turut membisu dan tidak menjawab soalan media tentang syarikat mana yang beliau terlibat dan mendapat faedah daripada kontrak Kerajaan Negeri.<\/p>\n Kontrak RM8.3 bilion yang diberikan ini, serta pertambahan pelaburan sebanyak 94% menjadi RM48.2 bilion antara tahun 2008-2014, berbanding tempoh yang sama antara 2001-2007 sebanyak RM24.9 bilion, telah menafikan dakwaan BN bahawa Permatang Pauh dan Pulau Pinang tidak membangun. Di Permatang Pauh, pemberian tunai sebanyak RM8.2 juta telah diagihkan kepada para pengundi, selain RM44.4 juta yang telah dibelanjakan ke atas infrastruktur seperti jalanraya, perparitan, naiktaraf pasar dan balai raya sejak tahun 2008.<\/p>\n Ini kemudiannya diikuti serangan terhadap Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang yang kononnya meminggirkan agama Islam. Sekali lagi kami mengemukakan bukti bahawa peruntukan yang diberikan Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat telah digandakan lebih dua kali ganda berbanding apa yang diluluskan Kerajaan Negeri BN pada tahun 2008 iaitu sebanyak RM25.5 juta oleh BN, menjadi RM52.2 juta oleh PR pada tahun 2014.<\/p>\n Serangan terbaru pula daripada Timbalan Menteri Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air, Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid, yang menafikan bahawa Kerajaan Persekutuan telah meminta tariff air dinaikkan, sedangkan Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN) telah pun dilaporkan meminta kenaikan tariff air di seluruh negara pada 25 April 2015. Begitu juga halnya dengan Menteri Kerja Raya, Fadillah Yusof yang mendakwa bahawa peruntukan jalanraya Kerajaan Persekutuan tidak digunakan sepenuhnya, apabila hanya RM12.8 juta digunakan daripada peruntukan RM27.37 juta bagi tiga bulan pertama setakat 31 Mac 2015. Fadillah menambah bahawa tahun lalu, Pulau Pinang hanya menggunakan sejumlah RM 53 juta daripada RM64 juta yang diperuntukkan. Ini juga tidak benar dan akan ditangkis dengan fakta yang menunjukkan peruntukan ini digunakan sepenuhnya.<\/p>\n Menang kalah dalam pilihanraya kecil adalah satu kelaziman dalam proses demokrasi. Sebagai peserta proses demokrasi, ahli politik mestilah menghormati keputusan pengundi. Kepimpinan yang bertanggungjawab akan memastikan pihaknya menang secara terhormat, dan kalah secara bermaruah. Tidak kiralah sama ada Umno\/BN akhirnya menang di Permatang Pauh pun, penipuan, ugutan dan serangan perkauman mereka telah menunjukkan bahawa mereka telah sama sekali kehilangan maruah dan kehormatan.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n ========CN=================

\nSaya terkejut apabila Heng Seai Kie meminta saya supaya memohon maaf bagi sebuah kain rentang yang dinaikkan oleh PKR ketika kempen pilihanraya kecil Permatang Pauh. Saya tidak akan berbuat demikian. Adalah sangat mengarut bagi Ketua Wanita MCA yang juga seorang Timbalan Menteri untuk mendakwa bahawa kaum Cina tidak mempunyai sebab untuk membantah GST kerana orang Melayu yang akan membayar lebih disebabkan mereka mempunyai lebih ramai anak. GST memberi kesan kepada semua rakyat Malaysia, tanpa mengira kaum dan agama.<\/p>\n
