Worrying state of our nation

Worrying state of our nation
CT Ali
| April 4, 2014

Our people, our businesses and our government are fueling growth by unsustainable borrowing.
COMMENT

Economy-Malaysia-300x202On the economic front Malaysia is in crisis. Cars and houses are literally burying Malaysians under a sea of debt.

Easy credit and low lending rates from our banks mean that our household debt to GDP has been growing at a rate of 12 percent annually since 2008 – making Malaysia household debt to GDP ratio at 83 percent, Southeast Asia’s highest.

Forty-seven percent of Malaysians are now in “serious debts” having to spend 30 percent of their gross income paying for their car, house and credit card debts.

Since 2008:

· Loans increased by 80 percent in the private sector.

· Car registration is up by 50%.

· Year on year increase in property prices.

· Mortgage loan accounts for 50% of household debt.

In the business sector, corporate bonds and bank loans are at 95.8 percent of GDP in 2013.

This mountain of debt in Malaysian households and its business sector is part of the reason for the continued growth of Malaysia’s USD$303 billion economy at an average six per cent in recent years.

The other factor fueling this growth is our government incurring fiscal deficits for the past 15 years to bolster the country’s economy.

Today Malaysia’s public debt-to-GDP stands at 53.2 percent – second only to Sri Lanka among Asian countries.

What all these say is simply this: Our people, our businesses and our government are fueling growth by unsustainable borrowing – and we are all heading for a fall even as another Asian Financial Crisis similar to the one in 1977 looms in the not too distant future.

We need a strong, confident and knowledgeable federal government in Putrajaya to steer us through this coming financial crisis.

Given the prevailing political demise of Umno’s hegemony over all things politics in Malaysia as reflected in the 13th general election when the Barisan Nasional coalition lost its popular mandate to govern to Pakatan Rakyat, that does seem a remote possibility.

On the political front, political power in Malaysia is no longer the purview of race, religion or money.

Ordinary Malaysians

It now lies in the hands of ordinary Malaysians of all races, all religions driven not by any particular political persuasion but more by the belief that in their hands now lie the future of their country.

They are not content to just wait for the next election to cast their votes to decide who will form government.

No! This generation of Malaysian are now taking things into their own hands and dragging an obstinate BN and Pakatan Rakyat screaming into the future that they want.

A future where corrupt, arrogant and irresponsible politicians have no place in government and where government is held accountable for their every action.

Apart from the unsustainable borrowing by households, the business sector and the government, there is a need to hold this BN government accountable for the illicit money outflow amounting to RM251.6 billion in just 2013.

If we go back to the period between 2000 to 2008, the sum of RM930 billion was lost in the same way.

What portion of this illicit money outflow can be attributed to the connivance of corrupt politicians and their cronies remains to be seen but suffice to say that the illicit outflow is much greater than the inflow of foreign investment into Malaysia.

All this is happening at a time when Malaysia’s current account surplus is deteriorating due to weaker export earnings.

All is not well with the state of our nation today.

Political change in the air
Koon Yew Yin

| April 3, 2014

The multi-racial support for Pakatan Rakyat and PKR is not only strong but growing.
COMMENT

MalaysianIn the run-up to the Kajang by-election on March 23, I was honoured to be asked to speak in support of the PKR candidate, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

In my address to the crowd which I kept short, since I was sharing time with Azizah, Anwar Ibrahim and other Pakatan Rakyat political leaders, I chose not to speak on the political issues which should influence the way that the Kajang electorate should vote.

Instead, I focused on my personal experience with the MCA and explained why a vote for the MCA candidate was an exercise in futility.

That night was a memorable one for me. Firstly, it was the first time that I have ever made a speech from the roof of a truck.

Secondly I did not expect the crowd of enthusiastic supporters cheering the speakers to run into the many thousands gathered there. To be honest, when I made the trip from Ipoh to Kajang, I had expected election fatigue with the by-election coming so soon after the 2013 national elections.

Instead I saw sheer energy and commitment – from the top political guns to the volunteer party workers and all the way to the people gathered patiently in the padang.

Most important, I felt a tremendous sense of camaraderie among the multi-racial crowd. I had been afraid of the sense of racial unity and solidarity in the opposition, given Umno’s latest attempts to play the divide and rule game in Selangor, focusing on the Allah issue.

I was also concerned that the PKR’s and Pakatan’s credentials as a multi-ethnic and multi-religious party and coalition may have been eroded by the propaganda BN war.

I can honestly say that what I saw took me by surprise – the multi-racial support for Pakatan and PKR is not only strong but growing!

I left the rally that night fully convinced that if Kajang was an example of the political sentiment in the country, we will definitely have a change of government during the next elections.

As it turned out, Azizah won the by-election with a handsome majority despite her campaign being heavily outgunned by the big spending and no-holds barred campaign of the BN.

Perhaps because the national spotlight was on this single election and the result in Kajang did not threaten BN in any manner, there have been few reports of dirty tricks attempted by the BN to ensure a victory for its candidate, MCA vice-president Chew Mei Fun.

Beware of dirty tricks ahead

Today, the BN coalition is in power despite receiving only 47% of total votes cast in the 2013. elections. During the next elections, we can expected that percentage to fall down even further.

I am confident from what I witnessed in Kajang that the majority of Malaysians – Malays and non-Malays; East and Semenanjung Malaysians – want political change and have the stamina to outlast the BN.

But at the same time, we must be fully prepared for an even more unfair, unprincipled and unethical election the next time round.

In fact the conviction of Anwar on the second sodomy charge and Karpal Singh on the sedition charge can be seen as the opening shots by the BN for the next national GE.

The two charges are nothing else but pure political persecution aimed at removing two of the most charismatic and potent opposition leaders and sowing dissent in the ranks of the PKR and DAP.

Much have been written by the international media on these two trumped up charges which have led the United States Department of State to issue a press statement expressing concern in the following way

“The decision to prosecute Mr Anwar and his trial have raised a number of concerns regarding the rule of law and the independence of the courts. In this high-profile case, it is critical for Malaysia to apply the rule of law fairly, transparently, and apolitically in order to promote confidence in Malaysia’s democracy and judiciary.”

BN’s miscalculation

Anwar’s conviction was arrived at with unprecedented and indecent speed by the appeal court judges; hence triggering Azizah’s nomination in Kajang.

If the government thinks that this will finish off Anwar and PKR politically, it has miscalculated.

During the Kajang by-election campaign, ordinary people I spoke to were incensed that the government would stoop so low to using our courts of law to kill off the two highly regarded and veteran politicians.

The subsequent PKR victory showed the extent of the voting public’s anger with this dirty trick.

In the months and years ahead, I am sure that Anwar’s sodomy 2.0 conviction will prove to be a rallying point for Malaysians outraged with the way in which the courts of law are being treated as political courts to score points by the BN government against the opposition.

BN may appear to have won the court victory; they will find out that they will lose the war.

Give Him A Break: I observe that many of the remarks by readers are very personal. I find Azharuddin’s standard of English acceptable although he may not speak like Najib who has an English boarding school accent.

About the Balotteli example, he was merely trying to emphasise the point that a person's look would not readily reveal one’s nationality. The press has quoted him out of context and twisted the story to make him appeared like an idiot.

I can see that he is trying his best; I also can see that he is highly stressed given the amount of bad press that he has encountered.

Let's be fair. He may be the DG but he is also human, he is also somebody's son, someone's father and somebody's husband. He too has feeling. Let's not be too harsh on him; give him a break.

Foreign media gets a dose of BN’s medicine

YOURSAY ‘They now have a first-hand experience of what we had to put up with.’

DCA chief does it again, media livid

Idon'tlikekangkung: This is the usual problem when you appoint incompetent people to high positions because of their connections to people in high places.

If this had been a local situation, Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) director-general Azharuddin Abdul Rahman would have been able to get away with it - indeed he might even have come out smelling like roses if the government-controlled media had their way.

But under intense local and international scrutiny, the incompetence surfaces. Resorting to bully tactics will not work.

CNN had an article about whether this whole fiasco was hurting Malaysia's credibility. Well, the truth is that it is these incompetents who hurt the country's image.

But I guess they are just following their leader who often does not respond to questions either. What a sorry lot we have in power.

Ipohcrite: I sympathise with the foreign media who are subjected to such shoddy and irresponsible conduct by the DCA chief. The foreign media now has a first-hand experience of what we right-thinking Malaysians had to put up with all these years.

Malaysia is a sham democracy.

Sabahan: It is very clear to the world that in Malaysia, which does not practice meritocracy and transparency, civil servants are often promoted beyond their ability.

This is shown in the press conferences held, where the DCA director-general and RMAF (Royal Malaysian Air Force) chief were clearly out of their depth and their grilling by the foreign press, although painful to watch, makes us very worried about Malaysia's future.

Apacerita: Azharuddin is in a defensive mode and that's not a good sign nor will it help him. In fact, his action aggravates more resentment towards this crisis.

If he could not handle the pressure, please resign and save Malaysia from more embarrassment.

Hplooi: And the Umno propaganda machine is promoting the idea that the foreign media (especially Chinese media) fallout is due to opposition bad-mouthing Malaysia. Even without opposition comments, the government team is 'hanging' themselves very well.

Already Umno cyber-troopers are lobbing grenades of 'patriotism' and the so-called unpatriotic behaviour of opposition (read: Chinese) electorates.

This meme will be sold to the hilt to the rural electorate further widening the divide between the Malays and the rest. I hope PKR and PAS has strategy to counter such nefarious move by the Umno cabal.

CQ Muar: These are third world brainless leaders who can't even handle foreign journalists.

Doesn’t PM Najib Razak realise the whole world is mocking the 'type' of moronic leaders Malaysia has? Absolutely no class and a shame compared to other countries' world-class leaders.

Understandably, this is the result and product of cronies favoured and picked by the elite to manage and administer the country.

Such morons were probably graduates 'churned out in droves' and awarded degrees by some government-owned universities.

Lamborghini: Azharuddin, you just don't have the brains, the maturity, the experience and the competence to represent Malaysia before the world's press. You are causing so much of embarrassment to yourself and the nation through your actions.

Please don't hold any more media briefings if you are not prepared to say anything useful or helpful. You are such a disgrace. Have some dignity and resign because you obviously don’t have what it takes.

Ferdtan: Where have all the responsible leaders gone to? PM Najib went south to Perth and acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, the face of the missing plane crisis committee, gone north to Hawaii. So who is in charged now?

Has Najib appoint a higher official at least of a ministerial position to overlook the situation while both of them are gone? Or they just left like that without any clear-cut instruction leaving people like Azharuddin not knowing what to do?

If he answers the questions from reporters wrongly he gets into trouble, so now he decided to avoid them, and with that he will get into even bigger trouble.

This is what happens when there is a lack or no leadership provided by Najib and Hishammuddin.

READERS’ COMMENTS: Such curse only reflects on her wickedness and her evil mind. It should not have come from any fellow human being in this time and age, more so a politician.

A woman with such evil intention should never be allowed to lead. As a leader, one is supposed to practise good deed, good speech and good thought. You may not agree with your opponent but that does not justify the casting of a curse on him and his family.

She is obviously a lost soul who needs guidance. Someone should lead her to the right path to repent and seek forgiveness from the Almighty for her evil deed.

Until then she should stay out of politics and the public eyes. – Conscience

Tan Sri Lai: Always remember that when you point one finger at others, at least three other fingers are pointed at yourself...and when you curse others for whatever reason the same curses will bounce back to you at least three times over!

ChangMing Chew: I wonder what evil spirit rode this old and wicked sow, that she might spew out such filth. Does she think that being MCA Wanita chief makes her a Chinese empress? Last I heard, Qing and Ming dynasty laws are no longer in force anywhere in the world; Malaysia is not a tributary state of China, but rather Malaysia is a democracy underpinned by a constitution which protects our fundamental rights.

Further, the irony is her decree might very well entail her own execution. Most Malaysian Chinese are no more than 5th generation at best. Most are probably 3rd generation. I am sure there are some people in the PKR who are related to her. She might very well be called for execution herself by virtue of having a relative in the opposition of Nth degree, with N equal or less than 9.

Francis Ho Yun Kiong: Only idiots will make such comment without verifying the authenticity of such rumours...She has shamed all the women of Malaysia.

Tony Mettananda Chuah: Hei Heng, would you like yourself and your whole family to be cursed with "nine familial extermination"? Remember you'll receive what you give.

Christopher Yau: Is cursing people’s families now an MCA culture?

James Tan: She certainly makes Chew Mei Fun look like an angel. One wonders what school she comes from.

Ambalaka: “However, she defended her action and said that DAP’s Nga Kor Ming and other Pakatan members need not react to her statement if the claims were not true.”

If she did say the above, can I give her a slap for sleeping with my husband, and if that is not true she should not react?

Natalie Yap: Cursing people is bad enough...and she is cursing her opponents' families! Really "well educated"!...Our nation is getting hopeless with such "Chinese"!

Ong Lee Boon: DAP and PKR, so powerful to influence China officials? MCA, you better close shop for 10 generations.

These comments are based on the article “Heng’s ‘curse’ of exterminating Pakatan families angers Chinese community”.

Political change in the air
Koon Yew Yin

The multi-racial support for Pakatan Rakyat and PKR is not only strong but growing.
COMMENT

MalaysianIn the run-up to the Kajang by-election on March 23, I was honoured to be asked to speak in support of the PKR candidate, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

In my address to the crowd which I kept short, since I was sharing time with Azizah, Anwar Ibrahim and other Pakatan Rakyat political leaders, I chose not to speak on the political issues which should influence the way that the Kajang electorate should vote.

Instead, I focused on my personal experience with the MCA and explained why a vote for the MCA candidate was an exercise in futility.

That night was a memorable one for me. Firstly, it was the first time that I have ever made a speech from the roof of a truck.

Secondly I did not expect the crowd of enthusiastic supporters cheering the speakers to run into the many thousands gathered there. To be honest, when I made the trip from Ipoh to Kajang, I had expected election fatigue with the by-election coming so soon after the 2013 national elections.

Instead I saw sheer energy and commitment – from the top political guns to the volunteer party workers and all the way to the people gathered patiently in the padang.

Most important, I felt a tremendous sense of camaraderie among the multi-racial crowd. I had been afraid of the sense of racial unity and solidarity in the opposition, given Umno’s latest attempts to play the divide and rule game in Selangor, focusing on the Allah issue.

I was also concerned that the PKR’s and Pakatan’s credentials as a multi-ethnic and multi-religious party and coalition may have been eroded by the propaganda BN war.

I can honestly say that what I saw took me by surprise – the multi-racial support for Pakatan and PKR is not only strong but growing!

I left the rally that night fully convinced that if Kajang was an example of the political sentiment in the country, we will definitely have a change of government during the next elections.

As it turned out, Azizah won the by-election with a handsome majority despite her campaign being heavily outgunned by the big spending and no-holds barred campaign of the BN.

Perhaps because the national spotlight was on this single election and the result in Kajang did not threaten BN in any manner, there have been few reports of dirty tricks attempted by the BN to ensure a victory for its candidate, MCA vice-president Chew Mei Fun.

Beware of dirty tricks ahead

Today, the BN coalition is in power despite receiving only 47% of total votes cast in the 2013. elections. During the next elections, we can expected that percentage to fall down even further.

I am confident from what I witnessed in Kajang that the majority of Malaysians – Malays and non-Malays; East and Semenanjung Malaysians – want political change and have the stamina to outlast the BN.

But at the same time, we must be fully prepared for an even more unfair, unprincipled and unethical election the next time round.

In fact the conviction of Anwar on the second sodomy charge and Karpal Singh on the sedition charge can be seen as the opening shots by the BN for the next national GE.

The two charges are nothing else but pure political persecution aimed at removing two of the most charismatic and potent opposition leaders and sowing dissent in the ranks of the PKR and DAP.

Much have been written by the international media on these two trumped up charges which have led the United States Department of State to issue a press statement expressing concern in the following way

“The decision to prosecute Mr Anwar and his trial have raised a number of concerns regarding the rule of law and the independence of the courts. In this high-profile case, it is critical for Malaysia to apply the rule of law fairly, transparently, and apolitically in order to promote confidence in Malaysia’s democracy and judiciary.”

BN’s miscalculation

Anwar’s conviction was arrived at with unprecedented and indecent speed by the appeal court judges; hence triggering Azizah’s nomination in Kajang.

If the government thinks that this will finish off Anwar and PKR politically, it has miscalculated.

During the Kajang by-election campaign, ordinary people I spoke to were incensed that the government would stoop so low to using our courts of law to kill off the two highly regarded and veteran politicians.

The subsequent PKR victory showed the extent of the voting public’s anger with this dirty trick.

In the months and years ahead, I am sure that Anwar’s sodomy 2.0 conviction will prove to be a rallying point for Malaysians outraged with the way in which the courts of law are being treated as political courts to score points by the BN government against the opposition.

BN may appear to have won the court victory; they will find out that they will lose the war.

Polis mahu dakwa pihak anjur tampar MP

Polis mengesyorkan agar individu yang menawarkan ganjaran untuk menampar MP Seputeh Teresa Kok didakwa di mahkamah atas tuduhan melakukan ugutan jenayah.

Laporan The Star Online yang memetik kenyataan ketua jabatan siasatan jenayah Kuala Lumpur SAC Gan Kong Meng menyebut, Pejabat Peguam Negara bagaimanapun telah memulangkan semula kertas siasatan mereka.

“Kertas siasatan itu dikembalikan oleh Peguam Negara kerana ada beberapa butiran yang perlu dibereskan,” kata Gan seperti dipetik dalam laporan itu.

Satu gabungan NGO Islam yang dikenali sebagai 'Majlis Jemaah NGO Islam Malaysia' pada 6 Februari lalu menawarkan ganjaran RM500 buat mana-mana individu yang berjaya menampar Ahli Parlimen Seputeh, Teresa Kok.

Tawaran tersebut dibuat dalam satu perhimpunan yang membantah penghinaan terhadap kepimpinan Melayu, Yang di-Pertuan Agong, dan agama Islam serta maruah Melayu' oleh segelintir ahli politik yang didakwa cauvinis Cina.

Keesokannya, tawaran tersebutnya dinaikkan ke RM1200.

Tawaran luar biasa itu dipercayai adalah reaksi kepada video Tahun Baru Cina yang dilakonkan Kok dengan tajuk 'Onederful Malaysia CNY 2014'.

Pakatan: Putrajaya To Blame For Local And International Scorn Over MH370


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s handling of the MH370 crisis has not only invited scorn from international communities but also made it difficult even for fellow Malaysians to support Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his government, opposition MPs said today.

After being allegedly snubbed again from an official briefing on the search and recovery operation originally scheduled for tonight, the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) MPs said they will not settle for anything less than a briefing by a minister who has all the facts in hand.

“We feel not only sad, ashamed, but also angry about how so many mistakes and weaknesses could have happened,” DAP’s Lim Kit Siang told reporters in Parliament here.

“Everybody wants to give our utmost support in this tragedy, but these actions highlighted questions about our system’s incompetencies.”

The Gelang Patah MP said Malaysian authorities have gone through a series of blunders since the jetliner went missing, the latest being the conflicting last messages from the plane.

Malaysia’s civil aviation department said late yesterday the last words spoken by one of pilots of missing plane were “Good night Malaysian three seven zero”, and not the more casual “All right, good night” originally reported.

Malaysian authorities’ handling of the search has been heavily criticised by international communities, especially by Chinese relatives of those on board the missing plane, who accused the government of incompetence and even a cover-up.

In one show of this alleged incompetency, Deputy Defence Minister Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri was recently forced to backtrack on a remark he made in Parliament on the air turnback by the missing jet.

The leader told the House that the military had initially assumed that a Malaysian jet detected on its radar on March 8 was ordered to turn back by air traffic controllers.

But shortly after, Abdul Rahim admitted that his remark was merely based on his own assumption, which was inaccurate.

Lim, however, said he believes otherwise.

“I believe what he said in the house was not his own opinion, but he was given information, he was given a briefing by government staff,” Lim claimed.

PKR’s Azmin Ali pointed out that Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim had promised a briefing on the crisis for PR MPs tonight, but it was no longer possible with the absence of Defence and Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

“This morning we received information that the minister had run off to Hawaii for another conference,” said Azmin, referring to Hishammuddin’s meet with his defence minister counterparts from Asean.

“I see that Barisan Nasional are the ones politicising the issue. They’re not serious in working with PR to find a solution for such an important issue.”

This comes as Lim pushed for a Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on the incident to start three weeks from last Sunday, regardless whether the “black boxes” of the missing flight MH370 are found or not.

The opposition pact insisted again today for the PSC or Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to be held soon so PR lawmakers can help out in the crisis.

Last Thursday, Shahidan insisted that Putrajaya will not set up a special parliamentary committee or a panel to conduct a royal inquiry into the missing Malaysian jet before the “black boxes” are found.

Shahidan stressed that the federal government’s top priority now was to find the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370’s flight data and cockpit voice recorders, key pieces that could unravel the puzzle over the plane’s fate.

On March 25, Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said he was not in a position to decide whether a PSC or Royal Commission of Inquiry should be formed to look into the disappearance of flight MH370.

‘Hisham running away from briefing’
