GST BENEFITS THE RAKYAT WELL BUT BURDENED THE OPPOSITIONS ONLY

For the opposition, when the present government policies are based on priority to the interests of the people, it becomes a terrible mistake and to the extent, it is a grave sin done by PM Najib’s administration. It seems that they have conveniently opposed their own slogan during their Pakatan Rakyat era that to serve the people was supposed to be their ultimate.

Without doubt, when Pakatan Rakyat is dissolved, their most lauded slogan – ‘For the People’ meant to champion the people’s interests are buried too and this clearly tells us that the oppositions are only interested in electoral votes rather than to serve us.

When PM Najib’s administration imposed the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and subsidies rationalisation, the oppositions wasted no time to deceive us as though it would burden the rakyat. But what the oppositions hid from us is that this policy received an eye opener to Saudi Arabia and India when they wish to emulate our policy. India will implement GST in April next year with the highest rate of 23 percent and Saudi Arabia for the first time will also implement GST.

GST is hence not politically popular but a necessity when the world economy is affected by global oil price uncertainties. Malaysia was once dependent on oil revenue and as we all know, that this commodity production will not sustain forever and they are declining over the years. Therefore, the present government ought to impose GST as was done much earlier by many parts of the world including Singapore who is without natural resources.

Even if the present government has to decide on a politically unpopular decision but it is hence the correct step. Just ask ourselves, if GST is bad for the nation, why would Saudi Arabia and India emulate our policy? In fact, since first introduced on April 1st 2016, an additional revenue of RM41 billion is collected with the rate of six per cent only. In reality, GST is never a mistake but the right policy by the present government.

PM Najib too was told numerous times that the GST will lead BN to lose in elections but even when the oppositions were campaigning against GST during Sarawak states election, BN received landslide victory and the same during went to the twin Parliamentary by-elections in Kuala Kangsar and Sungai Besar. What do these mean?

It is only the leading party BN under PM Najib’s leadership that truly championing the rakyat interests and the slogan – ‘The People First’ carried by BN in their previous manifesto are now proven rather than just mere political lip services. Unlike the oppositions who are fond of offering popularity but in reality, they have nothing to offer.

DR MAHATHIR WILL CONTINUE TO DESTROY ANWAR

Even though Dr Mahathir has presented himself to be despised and reviled during PKR’s REFORMIS MALAYSIA 2017 convention recently, but deep in his heart and thoughts, to destroy Anwar’s politics remains intact. These reformist activists should know very well that Dr Mahathir is very allergy with the word ‘REFORMASI’ that was introduced by Anwar Ibrahim.

Dr Mahathir has never and shall never forget Anwar’s speech in UMNO Johor convention in 1998 where Anwar called members to reform before it is too late as was the case in Indonesia when Suharto was ousted through street demonstrations. Anwar too has urged reforms to the country’s financial system and considered the establishment of “Danaharta” by Dr Mahathir was just an act to legalise “bailouts” of his son Mirzan’s ailing shipping company during the country third financial crisis.

For that, Azmin too is wrong and seems quite hilarious to believe when he recently claimed that Anwar never plotted to bring down Dr Mahathir and no instruction was given from Anwar to do so. However, this is in total contradiction with Wan Azizah and Hishamudin Rais when they claimed that the ‘reformasi’ move has successfully driven into Dr Mahathir’s resignation.

The convention was held to commemorate the 1998 ‘reformsi’ movement and their jailed mentor Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar is sentenced for a 5 years jail to Sungai Buloh for his second sodomy conviction. Prior to that, Anwar once toured the whole country to claim that Dr Mahathir had fired, jailed and bruised his eyes when his position was threatened. Has Azmin deliberately forgotten about these claims too?

APA PUN RINTANGAN, SPAD YAKIN PROJEK KVDT SIAP IKUT JADUAL

Sebagai pengawal selia, perancang dan penguatkuasa bagi sistem pengangkutan awam darat di Semenanjung Malaysia, projek KVDT yang dilaksanakan oleh Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) kini yakini akan siap sepenuhnya mengikut jadual seperti yang dijangka pada 2019. Mengikut Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat (SPAD), Mohd Azharuddin Mat Sah, setakat ini projek telah berjalan lancar ke tahap 28%.

Projek KVDT yang merangkumi kerja membaik pulih landasan sejauh 42km dari Rawang ke Salak Selatan dan Sentul ke Simpang Batu. Ia juga membabitkan menaik taraf 16 stesen di sepanjang laluan yang meliputi sistem isyarat, sistem elektrik serta pemasangan sistem radio metra. 

Kerja menaik taraf ini dilihat sangat perlu dilaksanakan oleh KTMB memandangkan kesemua perkhidmatan rel perlu bergerak dengan lancar dan segala masalah seperti kegelinciran mahupun kelewatan atau pembatalan perkhidmatan pada masa hadapan akan dapat dielakkan.

Namun, walaupun segala perancangan telah disusun rapi dengan pemantauan ketat dari pihak SPAD, faktor cuaca dan teknikal adalah di antara rintangan yang pasti dihadapi. Walaubagaimanapun, Encik Azharuddin yakin rintangan ini telah dijangkakan dan segala langkah telah diatur agar projek ini dapat disiapkan mengikut jadual pada 2019 nanti.

Rintangan yang dijangkakan ini akan berjaya diatasi dengan komitmen yang ditunjukkan oleh pihak kontraktor yang bertanggungjawab, Dayamaju Infrastructure Asia Sdn Bhd (DMIA).

Ketika ini kira-kira 100 ribu penumpang menggunakan perkhidmatan rel setiap hari, namum pihak SPAD mensasarkan peningkatan lima peratus setiap tahun dan apabila projek ini siap sepenuhnya, peningkatan penumpang dijangka akan meningkat berkemungkinan berganda lagi. Ini adalah berdasarkan peningkatan kekerapan perkhidmatan dan ketika ini pun waktu puncak adalah setiap 15 minit.

Hanya di waktu bukan puncak saja yang bakal terjejas sedikit ketika projek ini sedang dilaksanakan. En Azharuddin memohon agar pihak penumpang akan dapat bertoleransi dan bersabar sedikit dan menjelang 2019, semuanya bukan sekadar berjalan seperti biasa malahan penumpang akan mengalami satu perubahan perkhidmatan yang lebih lancar dan jauh lebih baik.

 

PROTON : WHAT HAS MAHATHIR HID FROM US

Before we begin to be too sentimental with Dr Mahathir’s disappointment claiming that the new partner from China will eventually wipe out our automotive pride Proton, a few of the main issues that we need to ask ourselves should be on the business performance when he was the Chairman and why Proton is still in their needy position since they were established for many decades? What has Mahathir hid from us?

Proton is no longer fully owned by the government ever since Dr Mahathir’s blue-eyed boy Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar owned close to 55% shares in DRB-Hicom, therefore it is already a private company. As early as mid-June last year, local and foreign medias have been reporting that Syed Mokhtar himself is fuelled by debt and as at to date, his listed and privately held entities combined long-term borrowings are estimated at RM34 billion.

He is one of Mahathir’s surviving poster boy during his premiership who depended too much on his mercy for government mega projects. The need to raise new capital for the group has gravely failed when banks and other finance institutions were too cautious to extend new loans. Hence, Proton too suffered in their cash flow besides their slumps in car sales and high inventory levels of unsold cars.

Before PM Najib’s administration decided to agree to approve soft loans to Proton, they were bled with more than 2.5 billion debts. Proton had earlier demanded to be bailed out as is customary practised by Dr Mahathir era but since Proton is now a private controlled company, there is no reason to do so and providing soft loans should be most appropriate.

MCA : BAGAIMANA DAP MENIPU PENGUNDI CINA

Setiausaha Agong MCA dan merangkap Pengerusi Biro Publisitinya Dato’ Chai Kim Sen menjelaskan bagaimana selama ini DAP telah membohongi malahan mengkhianati pengundi Cina ke atas kerjasama mereka dengan PAS selama ini.

Pertama, apakah di antara yang tertera di dalam Polisi Pakatan Rakyat? Kepada yang bukan beragama Islam, DAP telah mendakwa untuk berjuang demi demokrasi, keadilan, hak sama rata demi rakyat pelbagai kaum, kepelbagaian bahasa dan budaya serta kepelbagain ugama di Malaysia.

Namun, ketika itu juga PAS tegas menyatakan yang mereka tidak sekali-kali akan lari dari misi mereka menubuhkan negara Islam mahupun melaksanakan hukum jenayah hudud.

Apakah PAS pernah selari dengan kenyataan DAP dalam perjuangan mereka? Sejak PRU13, samada Kit Siang mahupun DAP, mereka tidak pernah mampu  menjawab isu ini.

Keduanya, sejak DAP menandatangani Polisi Kerjasama Pakatan Rakyat dengan PAS sebelum PRU13, DAP dan PAS sebenarnya telah bersetuju mengekalkan hak masing-masing untuk meneruskan matlamat masing-masing di mana PAS akan menubuhkan negera Islam. Perjanjian ini telah ditandatangani oleh Setiausaha Agong DAP Lim Guan Eng bersama-sama Presiden PAS Dato’ Seri Hadi Awang.

Contohnya Teresa Kok, beliau telah berkali-kali cuba mencari alasan menutup kesilapan DAP ini demi untuk mengelirukan pengundi Cina untuk menyokong PAS. Sebaliknya DAP bermain dengan alasan yang PAS hanya akan wujudkan negara berkebajikan tetapi sebenarnya membenarkan sebuah kerajaan yang teokratik di mana pembesar ugama akan dijadikan pemimpin tertinggi.

Apakah Teresa Kok mampu menafikan perjanjian yang ditandatangani pada 29 April 2013 di antara Guan Eng dan Hadi Awang? Bukankah ini juga menyokong hukum hudud yang PAS ingin laksanakan?

Bagi Kit Siang pula ketika berkempen di Gelang Patah pada tahun 2013, dengan tertedahnya perjanjian yang ditandatangani anaknya Guan Eng, kini MCA mengingatkan semula kata-kata beliau yang memberi alasan pendirian DAP menyokong apa yang telah ditandatangani Guan Eng itu adalah wajar dan tidak salah.

Kini dengan keputusan 4 ahli senior DAP Melaka untuk keluar parti kerana memohon maaf kepada pengundi Cina kerana telah mengkhianati mereka dengan membenarkan PAS melaksanakan hudud, Teresa Kok mahupun Kit Siang tidak akan mampu menafikannya. Sebaliknya, apa yang DAP telah lakukan adalah memperlekehkan pendirian tegas keempat-empat mereka ini.

Inilah cara paling jijik yang dilakukan DAP untuk mendapatkan undi bangsa Cina. Apakah MCA tidak berkata benar?
