Urge BN And UMNO Leaders To Throw Your Lies And Hate At Me But Please Leave My School-going Children Alone! (en/cn)

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 07:22 PM PST

My family and I are upset at the statement made by Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in Sibu yesterday, dragging my daughter into his latest spin that the National Service (NS) training programme is now widely accepted and trusted by parents for the positive effect it has on their children. Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid claimed that both my father and me had seen how my daughter had changed for the better after attending the programme in Balik Pulau NS camp in Penang.

This is untrue. My daughter is a good kid and is the same before and after joining the NS Camp. Both my father and I had never told the Defence Minister as claimed by him and neither had we thanked him for it.

My daughter was selected to join the NS Camp for the 2008-9 session and she had duly complied. We have never talked about my daughter's experiences, good or bad in NS, because she is still under 21 and a student who is not involved in politics.

My family and I love our daughter and want to protect her privacy. We have shielded her from the glare of publicity so that she can grow up and enjoy life with her friends as a normal kid. We hope that Datuk Seri Ahmad can respect my daughter's privacy and not drag her into his political games to justify the NS programme.

If children of politicians venture into public life involving public interest, then they are subject to public scrutiny. However for BN leaders to try to use my children as political capital to boost BN when they are still studying and not involved in public life is wrong and regrettable.

This is not the first time that my children have been unfairly targeted by BN and UMNO leaders. Last year, my 15 year old son was defamed by UMNO leaders and UMNO Online for sexually molesting his classmate and that I have to pay RM200,000 to cover-up the scandal and transfer my son to another school. A picture of the alleged girl victim of my son was even put up by the UMNO blogs.

This cruel and barbaric lie by UMNO against my minor son was quickly exposed when the picture of the girl victim was discovered to be a fake and belonged to a Hong Kong chess grandmaster who had never met me or my son. So far no UMNO leaders had apologised to my son and me for this vicious lie that had caused my son to miss school for 2 days.

I urge UMNO and BN leaders to throw your lies at me if you must but please leave my children alone. They are still studying and are not in politics. By continuing to drag my children with lies or misrepresentation, is an act of desperation that shows their lack of moral values and absence of ethical judgment. Have BN and UMNO leaders run of ideas and ideals that their only political capital is to preach lies and hate not only against PR leaders but also at our children?

民主行动党秘书长兼槟州首席部长林冠英于2012年1月28日在吉隆坡发表声明:

国阵及巫统领袖若要继续散布谎言及仇恨,尽管针对我个人,别再将我尚在求学中的孩子拖下水!

我的家人和我对于国防部长拿督斯里阿末查希哈米迪昨日在诗巫发表的声明感到难过,他针对国民服务计划已经被广泛接受、由于对孩子起正面影响而获家长信赖的宣传,把我的女儿卷入其中。拿督斯里阿末查希声称,我的父亲和我可以看到,我的女儿在参加了槟城浮罗山背的国民服务计划后,如何变得更好。

这是不确实的。我的女儿在参加国民服务计划之前或之后,一直都是好孩子。我的父亲和我,从来没有像国防部长所说的感激过他。
我的女儿被抽中参加了2008至2009年届的国民服务计划,她也按时履行了义务。我们从来没有谈论我女儿在国民服务计划中的好或坏的经验,因为她还未满21岁,还是未参政的学生。

我的家人和我都疼爱我们的女儿,希望保护她的隐私。我们不让她在公众的注目中长大,就是希望她可以跟正常的小孩一样,和她的朋友一起快乐地长大。我希望拿督斯里阿末可以尊重我女儿的隐私,不要把她卷入他的政治游戏,来合理化国民服务计划。

一旦政治人物的子女走进涉及公众利益的公众人物生活,那么他们就必遭受公众审查的眼光。但是,当孩子们还在读书、未涉入公众人物的生活,国阵领袖想要利用我的孩子做为抬高国阵的政治资本,这是大错特错的。

这已经不是第一次,我的孩子不公平地成为国阵和巫统领袖的箭靶。去年,我15岁的儿子被巫统领袖及UMNO Online诬蔑,指他性侵同学,我付了20万令吉的遮口费并安排他转校。巫统甚至上载了一张女生的照片,诬指照片中的女生就是遭我儿子性侵的受害者。

巫统的残酷谎言很快地就被揭穿了,很快地就有人发现,上述照片中的"女受害者"是无中生有的,照片中的人物是香港的西洋棋手,她从来没有见过我、也没有见过我的儿子。至今为止,还没有任何一名巫统领袖对我或我的儿子道歉,他们这种恶毒的谎言还导致我的儿子没有上学两天。

国阵及巫统领袖,如果你们要继续散布谎言及仇恨,尽管针对我个人,别再将我尚在求学中的孩子拖下水。他们还在上学、也还没有涉足政治。国阵领袖不断地把我的孩子卷入谎言或错误言论中,一再证明他们已经丧失道德价值观、也缺乏了伦理判断能力。国阵或巫统领袖是不是黔驴技穷,只剩谎言和仇恨,不只针对民联领袖,还要针对我们的子女?

Penang Hopes That the RM4 billion High-Tech and Solar Energy Investments by Ibiden and Robert Bosch Solar Will Be Included in the 2011 December Investment Figures (en/cn)

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 07:39 PM PST

Penang hopes that the RM4 billion high-tech and solar energy investment by Ibiden and Robert Bosch Solar will be included in the 2011 December investment figures. So whilst the statement made by International Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir of a drop in investment compared to last year is correct, the final analysis can only be made when the December investment figure are tabulated.

In May 2011, the Penang State Government announced that Penang is targeting to achieve RM6.1 billion investments for 2011. Penang recorded its highest ever investment figures of RM 12.2 billion in 2010 topping the investment charts for the first time in history in Malaysia. A lower figure has been set to attract high value-added, high-tech, knowledge based companies that engender high-income, technology transfer and innovative industries.

Up to November 2011, Penang stood at RM6 billion in investments achieving the target of RM6.1 billion set. At the same time, there is a need to “digest” (consolidate) the record investments in 2010 so that the workers and skills shortage engendered does not overspill and damage the industry.

Penang hopes that the RM4 billion high-tech and solar energy investments by Ibiden and Robert Bosch Solar will be included into last year's investment figures which will then put Penang's investment at RM10 billion.

According to the recent report by investment and research firm Tholons on the 2012 Top 100 Outsourcing Destinations in the world, Penang has moved up 2 notches from 79 to 77 in ranking. The state government hopes to attract more of BPO and other preferred industries such medical, aerospace, LED and photovoltaic into Penang for 2012.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2012年1月27日在乔治市光大发表声明:

槟州希望揖斐电和博世太阳能高科技于去年高达40亿万令吉的投资额列入2011年12月的投资总额。

槟州希望揖斐电和博世太阳能高科技于去年高达40亿万令吉的投资额列入2011年12月的投资总额,国际贸易及工业部副部长拿督慕克力必须计算12月的投资数目后,才能说明其发表的相比去年同期投资额下跌的声明无误。

槟州政府于2011年5月宣布61亿令吉投资额的目标,槟州在2010年写下122亿令吉的史上最高投资额记录后,就锁定要吸引高附加价值、高科技和知识为基础的公司,以提供高收入、科技转移和创新工业。

截至2011年11月,槟城已达到60亿令吉投资目标,同时需要"消化"2010年创下的高投资记录,不让人工和技能短缺造成问题。

槟城希望,揖斐电和博世太阳能高科技的40亿令吉投资能列入去年的投资额,如此槟州2011年的总投资额将达100亿令吉。

根据投资和研究公司Tholons的最新报告,2010年世界100强外包区中,槟州从第79名上移2位至第77名,槟州政府希望今年将吸引更多的业务流程外包公司(BPO)和其他首选行业注资槟城,如医疗、航空、光二极管和太阳光电业。

Lawatan ke Tapak Pembakaran Jalan Pantai

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 07:31 PM PST

Kenyataan Akhbar Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng di Komtar, George Town Pada 27.1.2012

Saya merujuk kepada lawatan saya ke tapak pembakaran sepanjang Jalan Pantai, Butterworth bersebelahan dengan stesen bas sementara Penang Sentral, di mana 25 gerai dibakar semalam. Pagi ini semasa membuat lawatan saya telah menyatakan bahawa saya akan mempertimbangkan bantuan kewangan kepada mangsa peniaga dan meminta mereka bekerjasama dengan Pejabat Daerah dan MPSP dengan memberikan maklumat.

Oleh kerana tapak yang dibakar adalah tapak perniagaan maka mangsa peniaga tidak layak menerima bantuan Tabung TYT Pulau Pinang, yang dikhususkan hanya untuk mangsa-mangsa yang kehilangan rumah kediaman. Apa-apa pemberian Tabung TYT untuk mangsa perniagaan yang kehilangan gerai sepertimana yang berlaku di Jalan Pantai adalah melanggari peraturan yang ditetapkan.

Untuk membantu mangsa-mangsa perniagaan ini,saya bersedia menggunakan peruntukan saya sendiri tetapi perlu mendapatkan maklumat demi memastikan mereka adalah rakyat Malaysia. Kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang tidak mahu memberikan bantuan kepada yang tidak layak menerimanya, kerana difahami ada ramai peniaga di sana daripada negara asing. Saya kesal bahawa ada pihak tertentu yang cuba memutar-belitkan kenyataan saya tidak akan memberikan bantuan kewangan kepada orang asing sebagai enggan membantu mangsa peniaga tempatan tertentu.

Only Economic Policies That Are Clean, Fair, Competitive And Improves The Well-being Of The People As Well As Attract Back Talented Malaysians Can Help Transform Malaysia Into A High-Income Nation Enjoyed By All(en/cn).

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 07:24 PM PST

The time has come to implement economic policies that are clean, fair, competitive and improves the well-being of the people as well as attract back talented Malaysians that can help transform Malaysia into a high-income nation enjoyed by all. What better time than the year of the water dragon to initiate such changes so that the coming general elections marks the new beginning that would be enjoyed by all Malaysians rich and poor by 2020.

Present policies which are corrupt, opaque with no open tenders and benefits only certain cronies would only bring Malaysia backwards. A good comparison is South Korea. In 1970, Malaysia's Gross National Income(GNI) per capita was USD 380 as compared to South Korea USD 260. But 40 years later in 2010, Malaysia's GNI per capita was at USD 7,760 while South Korea had exceeded us by almost 3 times at USD19,890 (World Bank)

Malaysia's failure to compete is compounded by the horde of Malaysians leaving. Even the BN government concedes that 2 million Malaysians have left the country since Merdeka in 1957. Countless Malaysians have PR in foreign countries including present Ministers and former Ministers. No one blames the 2 million Malaysians for leaving when the present policies stresses more on politics of division and hate than results-oriented performance drive our best and brightest away.

A recent example is the unfair, harsh and humiliating treatment of temporary Chinese primary school teachers by reducing their benefits arbitrarily without any consultation. How much will it cost the Federal government to continue maintaining existing benefits or even increasing them to temporary teachers? I doubt that such costs will exceed the RM250 million National Feedlot Corporation scandal where money meant for rearing cows is used instead to purchase luxury condos.

Why allow the few cronies to earn extraordinary profits at the expense of 28 million Malaysians. For instance, it took RM 6 billion to build the North-South Highway. But the toll operators have collected RM 24.3 billion as at 31.12.2010 and yet can continue to collect toll till end 2038 and increase toll every year! As the toll operators have already made RM18.3 billion in profits, there is no reason why toll can not be abolished.

Even more talented Malaysians will leave if BN continues to blame the Chinese and minorities for the federal government's failed policies or use the Chinese threat to frighten the Malays. How can the Chinese be a threat to Malays when critical economic sectors such as banking, insurance, ports, highway toll concessions and infrastructure, transport, automotive industry, IPPs, sugar, rice, flour, plantation products, oil and gas are dominated by Malays?

We must grow up believing in our abilities, trusting each other and have faith that Malays and non-Malays can be world champions. Malays and non-Malay kids must grow up respecting each other as Malaysians and hating only corruption. 2000-9 is the lost decade of corruption where RM1,077 billion of "black money" was illicitly and secretly taken out of Malaysian.

Enough is enough! Let us implement policies that will stop corruption, wipe out poverty, attract back Malaysian talents so that Malaysia can be a high-income nation enjoyed by everyone regardless of race, religion or gender.

Instead of focusing on cronies, let us implement people-centric policies that are clean, fair, competitive and improves our standard of living.

槟州首席部长兼行动党秘书长林冠英于2012年1月27日在霹雳班台行动党晚宴致词稿:

唯有廉政、公平、具竞争力及改善人民生活、吸引人才回国的经济政策,才能让马来西亚转型成为人人共享繁荣的高收入国。

是时候让我们推行廉政、公平、具竞争力及改善人民生活的经济政策,吸引人才回国,才能让马来西亚转型成为人人共享繁荣的高收入国。让我们在水龙年踏出第一步,于来届大选让"万象更新",好让全民可以在2020年享受国家繁荣。

没有公开招标、只让特定朋党受益,现在的腐败、不透明、没实施公开招标的政策,只会让马来西亚越来越落后。最好的比较例子就是韩国。1970年,马来西亚人均收入为380美元,韩国是260美元。2010年既40年后,马来西亚的人均收入为7760美元,而韩国已经超越我们三倍,达1万9890美元(世界银行报告)。

马来西亚无法竞争,也导致大批马来西亚离开这个国家。就连国阵政府也承认,自1957年独立以来,已有200万马来西亚人离开。无数的国人在外国拥有永久居留权,包括我们的现任及前任部长。我们不怪这200万移民的马来西亚人,因为是现有那种导致分裂及制造仇恨的政策,把我们最好、最聪明的国民逼走。

最新的例子就是,政府独断地减少华小临教的福利,让他们遭受不公平、冷酷及侮辱的对待。联邦政府若维持临教的福利甚至增加他们的福利,会花他们多少钱?我怀疑这笔费用是否超过国家养牛中心丑闻2亿5000万令吉?这笔原本应该用来养牛的钱,被滥用来购买豪华公寓。

为什么我们要牺牲全体2800万国民的利益,让几个朋党赚取额外好处?例如:南北大道承建费为60亿令吉。但是收费站在2010年12月31日已经收取了243亿令吉。它们不但可以继续收费到2038年,而且还可以年年调高过路费!既然收费站已经赚了183亿令吉,为什么不能废除收费站?

如果国阵继续怪罪华人及少数民族,不正视本身失败的政策,或者用华人来威胁马来人,更多马来西亚人才将会移民。当许多重要的经济领域如银行、保险、港口、汽车、独立发电厂、白糖、白米、面粉、种植业、石油及天然气都已经被马来人主导,华人如何威胁马来人?

我们要相信自己的能力、互相信任、要有信心,无论是马来人或非马来人都可以成为世界冠军。马来人或非马来人的孩子都必须在相互尊重、视彼此为马来西亚人的情况下成长,他们只能仇视贪污。2000年至2009年间,我们因贪污而导致1兆7700万令吉黑钱外流。

够了,让我们实施能够除贪、扶贫、吸引人才回国的政策,打造马来西亚可以成为一个各族、各宗教或男女老少都能分享繁荣的国家。

与其集中精神在朋党身上,不如让我们通过推行廉政、公平、具竞争力、提升人民生活水平的政策来迎接龙年,祝各界新年快乐!
