1,400% Hike in Postal Voters Shocks Nurul Izzah Posted: 10 Nov 2011 06:49 PM PST Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar today raised concern over a massive spike in the number of postal voters in her constituency, as the most recent electoral roll, released on Nov 2, shows. Speaking at the Parliament lobby today, Nurul Izzah said the number of postal voters spiked by 1,363 percent in two months – from a mere 149 on Sept 26 this year to 2,180 on Nov 2. Worse still, she said, checks with the Election Commission revealed that 457 of these postal voters are from the Kampung Bohol in Bukit Jalil, which is outside the Lembah Pantai constituency. “There are 2,180 police personnel who are postal voters, and this does not include their wives. The winning majority for PKR in Lembah Pantai in the previous general election was 2,895 votes.” Nurul Izzah said that this finding had been confirmed by the EC, and was among thousands of other “doubtful” voters found in the electoral roll for Lembah Pantai. A report has been lodged with the commission, with a copy forwarded to the parliamentary select committee on electoral reform. Of the new postal voters who are police personnel, the MP also raised suspicion over 15 new postal voters registered to the Bangsar police station. "Those who go there will know that it is just a small room, which is a tight squeeze even for two people," she said. Nurul Izzah said other "irregularities" include some 3,384 voters whose addresses are not listed in the roll, while 200 voters are registered under a single address in Bukit Kerinchi. 3,300 voters in demolished village She also pointed out that 3,300 voters are registered to Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum, although the village has been demolished and residents moved to make way for the KL Eco City development. "Surprisingly. there was an increase of voters from 3,204 to 3,300, a hike of 96 names when Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum no longer exists in the Lembah Pantai map," she said. The EC last month admitted that a whopping 40,000 names on the electoral roll are "doubtful" and that it will publicly display these names so those listed can come forward to help clean up the roll.

PM Najib Mengelirukan Rakyat Jelata Sejak Hari Pertama Posted: 10 Nov 2011 01:47 AM PST 1.?"PM and agro minister lied on NFC"."PM lied about NFC loan",begitulah hebatnya tajuk-tajuk berita masing-masing dalam Malaysiakini dan Malaysianinsider pada 8 November 2011.Bagi ramai orang berita-berita tersebut tidak sedikitpun mengemparkan atau sesuatu kejadian yang luar biasa yang asing kepada pendengaran rakyat. a)?Contoh mudah yang boleh diambil ialah dalam sesuatu upacara Akad Nikah.Kesilapan dalam menyebut satu perkataan pun atau tersilap menyebut nama pasangan perempuan umpamanya, ataupun tidak lancar dalam menjawab akad,maka proses akad nikah itu akan diulangkan beberapa kali, sehingga sempurna untuk dianggap sah. |
RM1.4b Bajet Luar Jangka Hilang Belum Terjawab Posted: 09 Nov 2011 11:38 PM PST Kehilangan dana Bajet Wang Luar Jangka RM1.4 bilion daripada RM1.5 bilion yang diperuntukkan masih penuh dengan tanda tanya kerana belum terjawab oleh Kerajaan BN. Sebaliknya Laporan Ketua Audit Negara berhubung perkara itu cuba disembunyikan oleh pihak Kerajaan BN sehingga dibangkitkan oleh pihak pembangkang pada persidangan Parlimen semalam. Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berkata, kehilangan wang tersebut berjaya dikesan apabila Laporan Audit Negara 2010 berbeza dengan belanjawan yang dibentangkan. Menurut beliau, ketika menjawab pertanyaan pembangkang semalam, Timbalan Menteri Kewangan, Datuk Awang Adek Hussin menjelaskan, wang itu tidak lesap tetapi jumlah sebenar bagi tahun 2010 telah pun diisi semula melalui Rang Undang-Undang Pembekalan Tambahan 2011. Katanya, jawapan tersebut bukanlah jawapan sebenar kerana laporan audit negara mestilah sama dengan belanjawan yang dibentangkan. “Perkara ini dibangkitkan oleh Azan Ismail (PKR-Indera Mahkota) dan kemudian dilanjutkan oleh saya pada persidangan Dewan Rakyat semalam dengan menggunakan peraturan 68A. “Kumpulan Wang Luar Jangka dan Laporan Audit Negara hendaklah dibentangkan dan tidak boleh dibahaskan, tetapi yang boleh dibahaskan adalah belanjawan yang dibentangkan,” katanya pada sidang media di lobi Parlimen, hari ini. Bagaimanapun, menurut beliau, ketika menjawab pertanyaan itu, Awang Adek mengatakan perkara itu telah dibentangkan dan dibahaskan pada persidangan Parlimen tahun lalu. Lebih jauh dari itu, Awang Adek turut menuduh pihak pembangkang sengaja hendak memutarbelitkan fakta-fakta untuk mengelirukan rakyat. Katanya, jawapan timbalan menteri kewangan itu ternyata bercanggah dengan peraturan Parlimen, di samping bercanggah dengan prinsipnya yang sepatutnya dilihat kepada semua laporan berkenaan. “Jawapan timbalan menteri kewangan itu bercanggah dengan peraturan 68A. Sepatutnya beliau menjawab ada kesilapan yang berlaku, bukannya telah dibahas di Parlimen,” ujarnya. Beliau yang juga Ketua Umum PKR berkata, perbezaan laporan audit negara dan belanjawan itu merupakan kejadian pertama dalam sejarah kewangan negara dan ia tidak sepatutnya berlaku. “Jawapan timbalan menteri kewangan itu tidak menggambarkan kejadian yang sebenar, sebaliknya cuba menyorok Laporan Ketua Audit Negara. “Kami sedang menunggu jawapan sebenarnya. Diharap Perdana Menteri dapat menjelaskannya nanti kerana ini soal perlembagaan bagi memudahkan perlaksanaan,” ujar beliau. |
‘National Feedlot Corp Loan Used To buy Condo Unit’ Posted: 09 Nov 2011 09:04 PM PST Ramping up their criticism of alleged mishandling of government funds in the public-funded National Feedlot Corporation (NFC), PKR said today that the money loaned to a related company was used to purchase an RM9.8 million luxury condominium in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. The money, which the opposition party claimed was part of an RM81 million loan by NFC, a company owned and operated by the husband and children of a federal minister, to related company National Livestock and Meats Corporation (NLMC), was used to purchase a luxurious condominium unit. NLMC, which was contracted by NFC as its marketing development agent and granted the sizeable loan, is also owned and operated by the same federal minister’s husband and children. “They are in the business of (marketing) cattle. Are the cows going to sleep in the condo?” asked party secretary Saifuddin Nasution, expressing his puzzlement at a press conference at Parliament House today. The party’s strategy director Rafizi Ramli, who was also present, chimed in that the use of funds originating from public monies for such an unnecessary purchase was tantamount to criminal breach of trust (CBT). Saifuddin and Rafizi added that a report of the alleged mishandling of funds has been submitted to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. |
Pilihanraya:Pakatan Mahu Dakwat Kekal Digunakan Posted: 09 Nov 2011 08:54 PM PST Ahli Jawatankuasa Terpilih Khas Parlimen (PSC) untuk menambahbaik pilihan raya dari Pakatan Rakyat akan memberi tekanan kepada Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) untuk melaksanakan pembaharuan yang boleh dilaksanakan serta-merta apabila mereka bersidang secara tertutup untuk sesi keempat hari ini. “Kami mahu PSC buat resolusi untuk memaksa SPR untuk melaksanakan sekurang-kurangnya penggunaan dakwat kekal dan cadangan mengundi lebih awal sekarang. “SPR dakwa mereka memerlukan masa dua bulan hanya untuk membeli dakwat. Kita tidak mahu kekurangan masa dijadikan alasan untuk tidak melaksanakan ini sebelum pilihan raya umum akan datang, ” kata ahli parlimen Rasah, Anthony Loke pada sidang akhbar di bangunan Parlimen, semalam. Loke, seorang daripada tiga orang wakil pembangkang di PSC, mengalu-alukan pengumuman pengerusi jawatankuasa itu, Datuk Seri Maximus Johnity Ongkili yang berkata laporan interim PSC akan dibentangkan di Parlimen sebelum mereka memulakan pendengaran awam esok. Ahli parlimen dari DAP itu berharap bahawa penggunaan dakwat kekal dan cadangan membenarkan penggundian awal juga akan dimasukkan dalam laporan ini. Loke juga mahu anggota tentera dan polis dibenarkan mengundi di kawasan tempat mereka bertugas terlebih dahulu bagi menggantikan undi pos kerana kebimbangan tekanan dikenakan ke atas mereka untuk mengundi BN. |
Zuraida: Ada Pendedahan Lebih Besar Dari Skandal Fidlot Posted: 09 Nov 2011 08:50 PM PST KEADILAN memberi kata dua kepada Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil samada meletakkan jawatan atau beberapa bukti penyelewengan yang lebih besar membabitkannya didedahkan. Peringatan itu dibuat Ketua Wanita KEADILAN, Zuraida Kamaruddin kepada Shahrizat ekoran gagal menjawab skandal National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) melibatkan keluarganya. Sebaliknya kata Zuraida, Shahrizat yang juga Ketua Wanita Umno bertindak menyerang peribadi beliau tanpa menjawab penyelewengan wang rakyat sebanyak RM250 juta itu. "Tindakan terhormat perlu diambil Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil adalah mengumum perletakan jawatan dari kerajaan dan berundur dari politik serta merta kerana KEADILAN masih ada beberapa bukti penyelewengan lebih besar yang belum didedahkan," katanya dalam satu kenyataan. Semalam, media melaporkan menteri pembangunan wanita keluarga dan masyarakat itu menyerang peribadi Zuraida dalam sebuah majlis dan pada masa enggan menjawab skandal Fidlot melibatkan beliau dan keluarganya. "Isu pokok yang perlu diperhatikan adalah soal pertanggungjawaban wang rakyat sebanyak RM250 juta diberi kepada syarikat milik keluarga beliau walaupun prestasinya tidak menepati sasaran. "Ia menyentuh nasib ribuan petani dan penternak yang lebih memerlukan bantuan dana kerajaan berbanding syarikat keluarga beliau," tegas Ahli Parlimen Ampang itu. Menurutnya, Skandal NFC membabitkan Shahrizat , menyentuh soal tata kelola kewangan negara yang lemah dengan wang rakyat dibazir sewenangnya. "Adalah menjadi tanggungjawab saya sebagai wakil rakyat dan seorang pemimpin wanita untuk membawa isu ini supaya sebarang penyelewengan dapat dihentikan segera. "Saya langsung tidak mempunyai motif peribadi, saya hanya melaksanakan amanah yang dipikul," katanya. Oleh itu, katanya, beliau berharap Shahrizat tampil segera menjawab isu itu dan bukan membiarkan pemimpin BN lain menjawabnya. |
Posted: 09 Nov 2011 08:38 PM PST On the 23rd of June 2011, the EPF (KWSP) tabled its annual report to the parliament, declaring a 5.8% dividend and explained that 27% of its investments were in Malaysian Government Securities (MGS) and 32% were in loans and bonds to Govt agencies. A simple chart below summarises the report. At RM 440.52 billion, the EPF is one of the largest funds in the world and represents the life time savings of 12 million private sector employees. The question is why is it that over 60% of EPF funds are in loans to the Govt and Govt bodies? Is the Malaysian Government a good borrower? Let's look at the BN Govt's financial record…. Below is a summary of the Govt's annual deficits. The 2012 budget will mark the 15th year of budget deficit with no signal of financial prudence. And as you can see below, there have been supplementary budgets on top of the annual budgets every single year. Govt debt as at Dec 2010 stands at 407 Billion ringgit. 60% of this or 240 Billion is owed to the EPF. This means the BN Govt of Malaysia has already spent 60% of all your savings in the EPF! After running deficit budgets for 14 consecutive years, and funding those deficits by borrowing, Malaysian Govt Securities (MGS) are rated at CC(-)ve. At CC minus, what is the annual yield? Folks, it's an unbelievable 3% and below!! Why? Because MGS are not auctioned!! There is a ready buyer for MGS and apart from the endless new PNB funds like the 1Malaysia bond, the main buyer of Malaysian debt papers is the EPF.
"Fair Value" rate for lower grade papers of single A and below is an annual yield of 5% and above. Greek Govt bonds for example are being traded at yields exceeding 21% per annum The constitution of Malaysia caps Govt debt at 55% of GDP. As at 30th June 2011, Govt debt stands at 433 billion, which is 53% of GDP. At 55% the Govt will be officially in crisis and the constitution will need to be changed to increase borrowing and possibly even require a bail out. Recently the EU central bank agreed to extend financial aid to the Govt of Greece on the condition they adopt massive austerity measures and that the lenders take a haircut of 50% of all outstanding loans. After all, they continually lent to a borrower who showed absolutely NO commitment to cut expenses and begin to service their debts. Just imagine if the EPF is asked to take a 50% haircut of their debts from the Malaysian Govt! Even worse than that … An even worse scenario was painted recently by Pakatan Rakyat when they reported that much of govt debt was unreported as it is largely hidden from public eye in the form of debt owing by Govt agencies. As you can see above, the 433 billion owed by the Govt is represented by the red and Orange bars. On top of official figures, an additional 184 billion is owed by various Govt agencies. Take a look here at another explanation, So…. Is the EPF being looted? I say yes it is. Let me explain how. A summary on the 2012 budget is below, Of the total 233 billion, total operating expenses is at 162 billion and over 64 billion is allocated for the civil service in pensions and wages. Of the massive 233 billion, only 51 billion is going to development, of which over 80% is to construction projects, designed to specifically benefit a few lucky fellows. And talking about lucky fellows, over 10 billion in subsidies paid for by us, are being paid directly to corporate bodies! And how pray tell will they pay for all this? By borrowing of course! Do they even bother that it is we who will be paying for the debt servicing including interests? Najib even announced that employee's contribution to the EPF will increase to 12% of salary. Which means even more will be tied up in the EPF in order to enable more borrowing! And if you earn less than RM 5,000, your contribution will increase to 13%. Hard times but spending remains irresponsible These are indeed hard times for us, the people. And the Govt has done fabulously well to recognise this by granting pay increments of 7 to 13% to all Govt employees while carefully avoiding the minimum wage issue for private sector employees. The Govt currently collects about 4 billion from the GST already in place. A one time payment of RM 500 to civil sector employees will cost the Govt over 2.6 billion. Civil service remuneration cost 20 billion in 2004. This year it will cost 64 billion. So the bottom line conclusion, again and again is the same. They are looting the EPF to please their vote bank of 1.3 million civil servants. Hard times indeed… And yet DRB Hicom is buying 237 armoured personnel carriers from Turkey for RM 1.7 billion and selling it to the ministry of defence for RM 7.55 billion. The Malaysian Govt is buying 6 Littoral Combatant Vessels to enhance our Navy. These are the most advanced naval vessels in the world, able to shoot aircraft, ships and submarines… The ONLY other country that has such ships is the US navy. They have 2. We are buying 6 at a cost of 10 billion ringgit. The MRT can be built for 19 billion. But Idris Jala recently indicated that MMC Gamuda may incur more that the originally estimated cost of 54 billion to build it. The Govt can reduce its subsidies for rice and sugar by opening up the market for other players, but no, both commodities are controlled by the same Govt crony. Syed Mokhtar Al Bukhary is the owner of all the companies mentioned above. Since this person took over the exclusive supply of these commodities in 2008, prices have doubled. This is despite the Govt's subsidy of 60 cents per kilo of rice and 20 cents per kilo of sugar. The Govt can easily buy the LDP highway for 1.5 billion ringgit, but no, it's probably better that they continue to collect toll from us and receive 1.5 billion in subsidy from the govt. Our IPPs buy gas at 10 ringgit cheaper than companies in Thailand and 15 ringgit cheaper than Singapore (Per CuM) but the Govt still needs to feed them billions in subsidy. Nothing is done as evidenced by the AG’s latest report Year after year after year, the Auditor General's annual report details all the financial mismanagement in Govt depts. But nothing is done. Take this year's AGs report for example. The MACC went into high gear and opened 36 investigation files to investigate all the rubbish. And the cases are now closed. They found no element of corruption or deceit. Another thing the AG highlighted is the treasury's contingency fund of 1.5 billion is now only 79 million ringgit. 1.4 billion is missing….. The tolled highways were built at a cost of 26.4 billion and the operators have already raked in 37.7 billion and received another 2.1 billion in subsidies from the Govt. And they are planning to raise the rates again soon. The Govt machinery of Barisan National is a system that benefits and enriches cronies with massively one sided contracts. It also ensures loyalty from a vote bank of 1.3 million civil servants who enjoy all kinds of benefits at the expense of the tax payer. The tax system is designed to exclude the majority of civil servants from actually paying any tax. And Govt debt is going through the roof. In 2004, the total Govt debt was 217. As at 30th June 2011, it stands at 433 billion. Najib's administration is milking us dry. And they are using our funds in the EPF to run all these excesses, to enrich themselves, and to bribe the civil service into loyalty. We EPF investors are 12 million. Vote against corruption, vote against poverty, and vote against the looting of your EPF savings. |
