Malaysia kini menghadapi jurang perbezaan dari segi pendapatan dan keuntungan syarikat di bawah Program Transformasi Ekonomi (ETP), kata Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim hari ini.
Beliau yang menyertai sesi debat memberitahu Parlimen bahawa cadangan untuk Bajet 2013 yang dibuat oleh Barisan Nasional (BN) tidak cukup untuk mengurangkan perbezaan antara kaya dan miskin di Malaysia.
Ketua pembangkang itu berkata pendapatan isirumah masih lagi rendah dan menunjukkan yang kaya semakin kaya dan yang miskin semakin miskin.
“Ini bermakna pertumbuhan ekonomi dan projek yang diumumkan oleh BN tidak memberi manfaat kepada majoriti penduduk,” kata Anwar.
Beliau berkata berdasarkan tinjauan, 44.2 peratus penduduk isirumah di Malaysia mendapat kurang dari RM2,500 sebulan, dan hanya mewakili 14 peratus dari kekayaan ekonomi jika dibandingkan dengan 50 peratus yang dipegang oleh 20 peratus penduduk Malaysia yang terkaya.
“Keghairahan mengejar unjuran ekonomi tanpa melihat polisi untuk merapatkan jurang miskin dan kaya dapat dilihat dalam ETP yang dicadangkan perdana menteri,” kata Anwar.
“Analisis dan perbandingan dalam nilai ekonomi yang dibuat dalam projek ETP dan gaji yang diberi kepada pekerja, bahawa pada tahun 2020 gaji pekerja akan mendapat kurang dari keuntungan syarikat.
“Sekarang, ratio gaji dan keuntungan ialah sekitar 28 peratus, di bawah ETP ia akan jatuh kepada 21 peratus,” katanya lagi.
Anwar berkata, pelan ekonomi nasional harus berubah dari hanya mahu mencapai pertumbuhan ekonomi dan ekuiti, tetapi harus memastikan pendapatan RM4,000 sebulan kepada seluruh isirumah dalam penggal pertama pentadbiran Pakatan Rakyat (PR).
Dia juga berkata pertumbuhan ekonomi harus dijana oleh perniagaan kecil dan sederhana dan bukan “seorang dua bos besar”.
Bercakap di Parlimen, ketua pembangkang juga membentangkan Bajet alternatif PR dengan memberi fokus kepada peningkatan pendapatan isirumah. -TMI
In a fair and just society, economic growth should benefit everyone.
Unfortunately this is not happening in Malaysia in spite of years of economic growth.
We have now an aristocracy of wealth where a small group of Malaysians are very rich (22 billionaires at the last count) whilst many others are barely scraping by.
We have on one hand people living in spacious multi-million ringgit homes whilst on the other hand there can be as many as 21 people crammed together in a low cost flat.
The statistics prove that the inequality gap is a major problem:
* The bottom 40% of households have an average income of RM1,222 whilst the top 20% households earn an average of RM8,157.
* 58% of households earn less than RM3,000 per month. (In 2009, the Fereal Territories Minister recommended that any urban household with less than RM3,000 would be considered poor).
* Income growth has been strong only for the top 20% of Malaysian income earners, particularly since 1990.
* The disparity within the urban group remains high with no improvements in the last decade.
* In 2007, Malaysia ’s Gini coefficient was 0.441 an improvement of 0.462 in 2004. However in 1990, the Gini coefficient was 0.442, which means that we have hardly made any progress in addressing the problem of income inequality since that time. (Gini coefficient is a measure of inequality ranging from 0 to 1, with 0 representing absolute equality and 1 representing absolute inequality).
Hebat sangat ka kalau bajet yang dibuat oleh Anwar ni??
ReplyDeleteKalau nuar ni yang tadbir negara, tidak lama lah ekonomi negara lingkup sebab lebih banyak wang keluar. semua diberikan secara percuma.

ReplyDeleteKepimpinan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak sebagai seorang pemimpin yang amat prihatin dan berjiwa rakyat tidak boleh dipertikaikan.
ReplyDeletesejak Perdana Menteri menerajui kerajaan Malaysia, banyak program dan projek diperkenalkan yang kesemuanya menjurus kepada kesejahteraan rakyat.
ReplyDeleteaku tak faham apa projek yg sampai kepada rakyat....cuma orang BN/UMNO je yg rembat semua projek..sama ada kecil atau besar tapi kesudahannya kerja tak ada kualiti yg d berikan sbb nak untung atas angin jee.
ReplyDeleteDi KL/Bukit Bintang nun khabarnya beratus2 teksi mogok dan sesak gila lalulintas dsitu. Kenapa mogok oleh pemandu/pengusaha teksi tu? Rupa2 nya dah ada prkhidmatan bas percuma sekitar B/Bintang tu iaitu lokasi Segitiga Lembah Klang dan bas trbabit brnama GO KL. Tolol betul yg mencetuskan idea bas free tu. Kan KL tu ada beribu2 teksi setiap hari djln raya dan permit mereka pula dkeluarkan seolah2 spt tiada kawalan dr pihak berkuasa. Tapi bila permit dah banyak,mereka trpaksa bersaing sesama sendiri utk mencari penumpang. Ada pula masalah lain iaitu bas percuma. Mana tak mengamuk persatuan teksi tu. Belum diambil kira teksi sapu dan ulat2 tiket/teksi. Itu lah menandakan pentadbiran UMNO/BN ndak cekap.

Belum jadi kerajaan sudah cakap besar la DSAI ni
ReplyDeleteSoros sendiri puji cara Mahathir tangani kegawatan ekonomi dulu. Anwar pula cadangkan pinjam IMF
ReplyDeletesejak Perdana Menteri menerajui kerajaan Malaysia, banyak program dan projek diperkenalkan seperti melupuskan hutang kroni, projek kepada kroni yang kemudiannya merugikan negara!
ReplyDeleteItu bukan cakap besar tapi kelebihan yg ada pd insan brnama ANWAR IBRAHIM dan tak akan ada pd mana2 pemimpin UMNO. Hanya JAUHARI MENGENAL MANIKAM.
ReplyDeletetah bila bh pembngkang manang pru ni..kaaaalah saja..kesian hehe
ReplyDeleteMcm mana pambangkang tak kalah, SPR tolong kalahkan pambangkang dlm setiap kali PRU. Di TGanu tu dulu, jatuh PAS setelah sekali ganda pengundi hantu dwujudkan. Peningkatan mendadak pengundi baru amat mencurigakan dan tak pelik le no tentera aku sendiri yg dah brtahun2 aku brhenti dr tentera, no tu dah dgunakan oleh seorg pengundi dah brtahun2 lama. IC lama pun dia guna dan no tentera aku pun dia guna. kalau 100 000 pengundi UMNO dsatu daerah mengundi ia akan jadi 200 000 sebab seorg pengundi ada dua ic/kad. Dcampur dgn warga asing, jadi berapa? Sebab itu BERSIH 3.0 perlu. Bukan asyik kesiannn je pd pambangkang, tapi kesiannn la pd SABAH yg dtipu UMNO dgn menggunakan PATI utk mengundi dan lepas itu mereka jadi warganegara.

Sebaiknya Datuk Najib memikirkan akan kepentingan pendapatan rakyat juga. Kerana itu yang akan dapat membantu rakyat dengan bebanan yang ditanggung.
ReplyDeleteOnce again Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak remained consistent with his commitment to put the people first by providing something for almost every group when tabling the 2013 Budget in Parliament.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThe 2013 Budget, themed 'Prospering The Nation, Enhancing Well-Being of the Rakyat: A Promise Fulfilled' covers five main focus in line with the concept of 'People First, Performance Now' which has become a pillar of his administration.
ReplyDeleteThe five areas are Stimulating Economic Activities, Empowering Education and Training, Acculturation of Innovation, Increasing Productivity, Fiscal Consolidation and Enhancing Efficiency of Public Service and the People's Wellbeing.
ReplyDeleteDisabled children, farmers, fishermen, retired civil servants, pension less ex-servicemen, school bus operators, students and ferry users in Sarawak, Labuan and Sabah are among those who received the government's attention.
With a strengthened national economy, following government revenue next year estimated at RM208.6 billion, the government will continue to reduce deficit to four per cent.
ReplyDeleteNajib also introduced several new incentives in the budget, which included the first nursery for disabled children, the Takaful Padi Protection Scheme for owners of paddy fields, extension of the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) to single unmarried individuals aged 21 and above who earn RM2,000 monthly.

ReplyDeleteThe 2013 Budget showcased a bigger expenditure of RM251.6 billion compared with RM232.8 billion allocated during the 2012 Budget.
To lessen the burden of medical treatment for the public, 70 more 1Malaysia Clinics will be opened nationwide next year while Malaysians earning below RM3,000 will enjoy a 50 per cent discount to use KTMB komuter services.
ReplyDeleteYouths aged between 21 and 30 will also enjoy one-off rebates worth RM200 for smart phones, as well as a one and a half month bonus for civil servants.
ReplyDeleteIn line with the government's philosophy and readiness to listen to the peoples woes, the government is providing RM1.9 billion to build 123,000 reasonably priced homes in strategic areas throughout the country.
ReplyDeleteBesides announcing a reduced sugar subsidy of 20 sen per kilogramme, Najib also called on traders to not burden the people by increasing prices of goods.
ReplyDeleteWhile stating that this would be the last budget before the 13th general election, Najib also confidently predicted that the country would see the Barisan Nasional (BN) government table six more budgets.
ReplyDeleteyang kaya patut membantu yang miskin.
ReplyDeleteya.. kaya perlu membantu yg miskin utuk tingkatkan taraf hidup.
ReplyDeleteIts Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager Anthony Cragg said: "In general, as you know the government is doing a lot to help the lower end consumers.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete"There is a lot of incentives such as low-cost housing, tax breaks, civil servants and the military got a bonus. So I think consumers are still looking good in Malaysia."
ReplyDeleteCragg said people often expect a lot of pump priming and a lot of goodies given away before an election.
ReplyDelete"There is a little bit of that (goodies), but in general it is quite a pragmatic and sensible budget," he told Bernama when asked to comment on the Budget.
"Even for the young people there is a subsidy to buy smart phones. It is all quite good, including the my first home project, where you can get 100 per cent finance if you earn below a certain level.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteHe said he had heard rumours that the rating agencies had wanted to see some improvement on the budget position and fiscal position.
"I think that's coming through. So the budget deficit, the government forecast to reduce to four and a half per cent this year and four per cent next year. They capped Federal debt at 55 per cent of GDP, these are all good sensible measures.
ReplyDelete"I think the government is spending but it is not over spending. It is a good balance definitely and people are quite encouraged by that," he added.
