Pakatan regime won’t bankrupt nation, says Musa Hitam
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will not become bankrupt if Pakatan Rakyat (PR) trumps the Barisan Nasional (BN) to take Putrajaya, Tun Musa Hitam said as concern grows over the nation’s economic state amid a possible regime change in the coming polls.
The former deputy prime minister appeared to defend the opposition pact, which has been forecast by politicians and some observers aligned to the ruling BN coalition as likely to empty the nation’s coffers and scare off foreign investors with their proposed public policies in their bid to take federal power.
“That is a political statement; in my opinion, no. In fact, I have openly commented on this matter, including to bankers and outsiders.
“If the opposition were to rule, they would not make foreign investors run away. They will not do so and bankrupt the economy,” Musa was quoted as saying at a news conference in Shah Alam yesterday by Malay language news website, Sinar Harian Online.
The 78-year-old, who had been in office from 1981 to 1986, was reported saying the pact would work hard to maintain the country’s economic growth should it win in the 13th general election as it was important to present a positive picture to draw in investors.
Without naming any one person or party, he lashed out at PR’s critics who have been mounting a psychological campaign against the PKR-DAP-PAS partnership by repeatedly casting doubt on their election manifesto.
“If you accept the concept of democracy, you will therefore not say another party will bankrupt the nation,” Musa was quoted saying.
Malaysia’s economy grew 5.4 per cent last year, slightly above the economy’s potential rate of about five per cent, global research house Moody’s Analytics reported last month.
Southeast Asia’s third-largest economy will weather the next general election and maintain its robust growth even if there is a change in government, renowned world economist Nouriel Roubini told the Datum Economic Forum 2013 here on March 1.
Roubini, also known in the media as “Dr Doom” for his consistently pessimistic economic outlook, gave his prediction today amid previous warnings by names such as veteran statesman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and former police chief Tan Sri Musa Hassan that Malaysia will descend into political and economic chaos should PR win the next polls.
“I would say whatever the result is going to be, this country has shown institutional and political stability.
“Investors recognised that, and therefore as long as there is a democratic process, as long as there’ll be policy clarity after those elections, it’s certainly going to be positive,” he said.
The PKR-DAP-PAS opposition parties had won 82 out of 222 federal seats in Parliament and four states in Election 2008, denying the BN their traditional two-thirds supermajority.
The landmark win has boosted the opposition bloc in their bid to topple the BN and form the next federal government.
Malaysia is expected to go to polls in the next few weeks.
Analysts have said the possibility for a regime change has emerged for the first time ever since the country’s independence in 1957.

‘A divided Umno in Perak’ Humayun Kabir | March 13, 2013
PAS claims that there are two factions within Perak Umno,one supporting the prime minister and the other his deputy.
TAIPING: Some claim that Perak Umno is not sure whether they should pledge their allegiance to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak or his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin.
These claims come from Perak PAS Youth. The state PAS coordinator Raja Ahmad Iskandar Al-Hiss said Umno in the state is divided into two camps.
Raja Ahmad claimed that one camp is lead by Menteri Besar Zambry Abdul Kadir which supports Najib while the other camp led by former menteri besar Mohammad Tajol Rosli Mohamed Ghazali is with Muhyiddin .
Raja Ahmad who is also the state deputy Youth chief said that although Tajol had given up his role in the state leadership, his camp of followers want to oust Zambry as the menteri besar.
It seems that Tajol’s followers want either Finance Minister II Ahmad Husni Hanadziah or Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to fill the top post.
However, Husni had indicated that he was more interested in the federal post rather than the menteri besar seat.
Also, Zahid had recently gave a media statement that he was not interested in the top state post and the three Perak MPs consisting of Law and Parliament Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz, Husni and himself were supportive of Zambry remaining as menteri besar after the 13th general election.
According to Raja Ahmad, in order to strengthen his political clout in the state, Zambry is not recommending the names of 12 Umno division chiefs considered as party rebels to stand as candidates in the coming elections.
The PAS leader said: “Instead he (Zambry) is taking advantage of Najib’s call for 50% of new and winnable faces from the state Umno camp and is recommending instead NGOs, his party supporters and retired senior civil servants.”
Raja Ahmad declined to name the 12 division Umno leaders and said that his information from Umno insiders is reliable.
Tiada lagi negara didunia yang bangkrap kerana memberi kebajikan kepada rakyat, tetapi banyak negara bangkrap bila pemimpinnya boros dan rasuah...Laporan audit membuktikan Pakatan boleh mentadbir dengan lebih baik.
Dah 55 tahun memerintah tapi tak matang berpolitik. Menggunakan kekerasan. Ajak berdebat takut. Macam ni pun rakyat masih tak nampak kerakusan dan keganasan BN UMNO & sekutu²nya nak pertahankan kuasa. Belum lagi penyelewengan rasuah bagai.
its respons to pakatan street DEMONstrators. expect more damages to come during Pakatan roadshow. Its mind blowing experience especially for YB Bingo. Isnt it true?
these BN/UMNO goons becoming more & more disturbing as no action had been taken by the authorities. May I suggest that UMNO send these goons to Sabah to fight those invaders....sort of "try someone your size". I dare them....think these g will shiver in their pants first haa haa haa
i think YB bingo should show Pakatan voters the old weapon. Tell them go to all the sreet in KL and panggil BERSIH together. MAKE MORE BIG DEMO and tell BN/UMNO jangan main KOTOR. agree or not?
I think Pakatan should not fight fire with fire...what will the Rakyat think. If Pakatan really wants too then there are many PAS Warriors too...so just let it be for now.
its the job of Pakatan cybertrooper and hacker. YB Bingo is in particular.Keep fight and tell people around the world what is actually happening here. But i predict 2004 GE outcome will likely happening in GE2013. The moon are make eclipse sight this year. what is your opinion?
BN is not a political beggar, nor what so call pelacur politik. Its always adopt give and take pricipals and not divide and rule. The wild allegations by Pakatan side is only useless thing. They act like check and balance prodigy but actually as an excuse for their weakness. why so many people angry during Pakatan tenure in several states?
and why so many brainless discussing politic in a forum supposely for sharing of investment ? jz wait GE13 , then we all know the outcome which side going to win . discussing n argueing here also useless .
just look at helpless widower in Selangor. and the man on street everyday demand what Pakatan pledges to them. its just a few cases that hunting opposition dream to Putrajaya. I think if Pakatan capture Putrajaya, they will lelong it to cover the Penang high debt and other big burden. Ini baru janji ditepati seperti dlm. janji GE lalu. OK kah?
Looks like Tian Chua will be charge as predicted by Rafizi from the sequence of events leading up to the gathering of UMNO at PR office....is UMNO so predictable.? Interesting to see the charge levied on him.....errr sedition ? If so What is the brand of politics by Perkasa? If there is or cannot have 2 party system, then how come there are 2 sets of law, one for BN and the other for R?
Musa knew about Dr M’s bad economics FMT Staff | March 13, 2013
According to a former Umno assemblyman, ex-DPM Musa Hitam's latest comment suggest that Umno leaders are liars.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former deputy prime minister Musa Hitam’s sudden ‘support’ of Pakatan Rakyat has left Umno leaders bristling, according to a former Umno assemblyman who was once in Najib Tun Razak’s inner circles.
According to ex-Pulau Pemanis elected representative Mohd Ariff Sabri Aziz, Musa has set himself up for a lynching over his comments about Umno-Barisan Nasional leaders’ knee-jerk reaction to Pakatan’s economic policies contained in its Buku Jingga.
According to Ariff, the former home minister had now “placed himself on the opposite side of (Tun Dr) Mahathir (Mohamad), Najib and all the Umno/BN” and was prepared for the backlash.
“Musa Hitam isn’t a man unfamiliar with or afraid of controversy.
“He already knew, having gone through personal experience with Mahathir and all who share Mahathir’s method of economics, that it will ruin this country.
“In fact Musa said all these statements (spun by Umno-BN leader) are political statements.
“Musa appears to suggest that political statements are in the beginning untrue statements until proven to be true.
“Which means those who make political statements like the people from Umno and BN are to be taken as liars until proven to be truthful persons.
“And that means Najib is a liar. Muhyidin is a liar. Mahathir is the biggest liar,” he wrote in his blog sakmongkolakak47 today.
Ariff, now with DAP, was responding to reports that Musa had dismissed Umno-BN claims that the opposition’s economic policy would bankrupt the nation.
Opposition not stupid
Speaking to reporters after attending a programme in Karangkraf yesterday, Musa said: “Even if the opposition (gets) to rule the country they will not be so stupid; they will not let the economy go bankrupt like the rest think.
“I don’t think any party will willingly and intentionally let the economy fall because it is a responsibility and a mandate to govern given to them by the people.
“So, I do not think the economy will be destroyed. What we basically have to do is take care of the investment community.”
Musa was asked to comment on claims that the national debt will worsen if Pakatan adopted its economic policies.
Among the proposals in the Buku Jingga are the elimination of tolls, reduction of oil prices, free education and reduced car prices.
Pushed further Musa mused that it was perhaps time that all parties accept the fact that it is possible in a democratic political reality for change to happen.
“Their (Pakatan) hopes are like others, they too want to serve the people. That’s why they compete to win in an election to prove who is more qualified,” he said.
If BN re-capture Selangor, all goods' price goes up. Why? Because electricity bill up, water up, petrol up, GST somemore even thought things like cars, sugar, rice, many other commodities already been tax and tax again.
