Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister And DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng Released In Kuching\/Kuala Lumpur On 4 May 2016. <\/p>\n
The Penang state government pays RM20 million annually to the federal government when the two local councils of Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang(MBPP) and Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai(MPSP) absorbs cost of GST on the people\u2019s behalf. On my last day before being forced by Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem to leave, I am shocked that Tan Sri Adenan has issued a wild and baseless challenge to me to abolish GST in Penang to prove my claims that DAP would abolish GST in Sarawak if DAP wins in the Sarawak elections on 7 May 2016. <\/p>\n
I have never made such a claim on behalf of the DAP. I wish to challenge Tan Sri Adenan to show proof that I had ever said that DAP would abolish GST in Sarawak if we win the Sarawak state elections. If he can not show proof, Tan Sri Adenan has shown that he is not trustworthy, when he is willing to abuse his powers to prevent opposition leaders from Peninsular Malaysia to enter Sarawak and is now making false claims. <\/p>\n
I had never said that DAP would abolish GST in Sarawak if DAP wins the state elections, but that we should punish BN and Tan Sri Adenan for allowing GST to be implemented and bring hardship to the people. GST is so cruel by taxing poor people together with the rich, but even state governments and local councils have to pay GST for road and public work projects. <\/p>\n
GST is a federal law and can only be abolished by Parliament not state governments. However Tan Sri Adenan must bear full responsibility for the implementation of GST in Sarawak because not only did he support it but his 25 BN Sarawak MPs also voted in support of the GST law in Parliament. <\/p>\n
Even though state governments can not abolish GST, Penang has tried to reduce the burden of the people enjoying local council services such as parking and rental of public halls by paying GST on their behalf. This has caused our two local councils MBPP and MPSP to come out with an extra RM20 million annually in making GST payments to the Federal government. Such payments contribute towards the RM39 billion of GST payments collected annually by the Federal government that saved the Federal government from bankruptcy as a result of BN\u2019s failed policies, misrule and mismanagement as well as the various financial scandals such as the RM50 billion 1MDB scandal. <\/p>\n
In other words, the people would normally have to pay GST for car parking or renting halls. Instead this GST cost is borne by the local councils, costing the local councils or the state government RM20 million per year, that will be benefited by the Federal government. Instead of working together with the Penang or Selangor state governments to oppose the implementation of GST on government services and public projects like roads and drains, I regret that Tan Sri Adenan continues to support the GST.<\/p>\n

\nKenyataan Akhbar oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang dan Setiausaha Agung DAP Lim Guan Eng di Kuching\/ Kuala Lumpur pada 4 Mei 2016 <\/p>\n
Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang Membayar RM20 juta Setahun Kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan Apabila Kedua-dua Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang (MBPP) dan Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai (MPSP) Menanggung Kos GST Bagi Pihak Rakyat <\/p>\n
Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang Membayar RM20 juta setahun kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan apabila kedua-dua Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang (MBPP) dan Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai (MPSP) menanggung kos GST bagi pihak rakyat. Pada hari terakhir saya sebelum dipaksa keluar oleh Ketua Menteri Sarawak, Tan Sri Adenan Satem, saya terkejut apabila Tan Sri Adenan telah mengeluarkan cabaran yang liar dan tidak berasas ke atas saya supaya menghapuskan cukai GST di Pulau Pinang bagi membuktikan dakwaan saya yang DAP akan memansuhkan cukai GST di Sarawak sekiranya DAP menang dalam Pilihan Raya Sarawak pada 7 Mei 2016 ini. <\/p>\n
Bagi pihak DAP, saya tidak pernah membuat dakwaan seperti itu. Saya ingin mencabar Tan Sri Adenan untuk menunjukkan bukti bahawa saya pernah berkata bahawa DAP akan memansuhkan GST di Sarawak sekiranya kita menang dalam Pilihan Raya Negeri Sarawak. Sekiranya beliau tidak boleh menunjukkan bukti, Tan Sri Adenan telah menunjukkan bahawa beliau merupakan seorang yang tidak boleh dipercayai, apabila beliau sanggup menyalahgunakan kuasanya untuk menghalang pemimpin pembangkang dari Semanjung Malaysia untuk memasuki Sarawak dan kini membuat tuduhan palsu. <\/p>\n
Saya tidak pernah berkata bahawa DAP akan memansuhkan GST di Sarawak sekiranya DAP menang dalam Pilihan Raya Negeri itu tetapi kita harus menghukum BN dan Tan Sri Adenan kerana membenarkan GST dilaksanakan dan membebankan rakyat. GST adalah sangat kejam kerana mengenakan cukai ke atas orang miskin dan orang kaya bersama, malah Kerajaan Negeri dan Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan juga perlu membayar GST untuk projek jalan dan kerja- kerja awam. <\/p>\n
GST adalah undang-undang persekutuan dan hanya boleh dihapuskan di peringkat Parlimen dan bukannya Kerajaan Negeri. Walau bagaimanapun, Tan Sri Adenan mesti bertanggungjawab untuk pelaksanaan GST di Sarawak kerana bukan sahaja beliau menyokong tetapi kedua 25 Ahli Parlimen BN di Sarawak turut mengundi undang-undang GST di Parlimen. <\/p>\n
Walaupun Kerajaan Negeri tidak boleh memansuhkan GST, Pulau Pinang telah mencuba mengurangkan beban rakyat yang ingin menikmati perkhidmatan PBT seperti tempat letak kereta dan sewa dewan orang ramai dengan membayar GST bagi pihak mereka. Ini telah menyebabkan kedua-dua pihak PBT iaitu MBPP dan MPSP untuk menyediakan tambahan RM20 juta setahun bagi membolehkan pembayaran GST dibuat kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan. Bayaran ini telah menyumbang kepada RM39 bilion bayaran GST yang telah dikutip oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan bagi menyelamatkan Kerajaan Persekutuan daripada muflis akibat dasar BN yang gagal, pemerintahan dan pengurusan yang salah serta pelbagai skandal kewangan seperti RM50 bilion skandal 1MDB. <\/p>\n
Dengan kata lain, rakyat perlu membayar cukai GST untuk tempat letak kereta dan sewa dewan. Namun sebaliknya, kos GST ini adalah ditanggung oleh kedua-dua PBT dengan kos sebanyak RM20 juta setahun ditanggung oleh PBT dan Kerajaan Negeri yang akan dimanfaatkan oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan. Daripada bekerjasama dengan Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang atau Selangor untuk menentang pelaksanaan GST untuk perkhidmatan kerajaan dan projek awam seperti membuat jalan dan longkang, saya kesal apabila Tan Sri Adenan terus menyokong GST.<\/p>\n
