MASIH LAGI BERKAITAN SABSIDI.....



Salam saudara pembaca yang dihormati,

Minta maaf, gemasindah merasa ngilu dan ngeri jika kerajaan akhirnya meniadakan sabsidi, malah mengurangkan sabsidi petrol sekalipun apatah lagi disel.

Jika harga diesel naik akibat pengurangan sabsidi, yang menangguk di air keruh ialah golongan perniagaan. Gemasindah ingat lagi akibat kenaikan harga disel zaman Pak Lah dulu harga mata pancing pun naik hampir 100% dengan alasan NAIK LORI MAA.

Jika pun kerajaan meneruskan sabsidi barang makanan, harga barang barang yang diberi sabsidi seperti gula, tepong dan minyak masak itu juga akan naik akibat alasan NAIK LORI MAA.

Yang demikian, gemasindah masih lagi mahu membincangkan hal sabsidi ini.

Berikut gemasindah turunkan komen Tun Dr Mahathir berkaitan sabsidi ini dan juga komen komen dari pembacanya.....

KOMEN TUN DR MAHATHIR


1. Since the report that Datuk Seri Idris Jala had announced that the country faces the possibility of going bankrupt if the Government continues with the high subsidies to various items, there has been much concern and debate.

2. The Malaysian Insider claims that UMNO has a distaste for subsidy cuts because it has rebuked Idris. I suppose the Insider and the opposition are all against subsidy cuts even if they lead to Malaysia going bankrupt.

3. Everybody must have read about the fate of Greece whose borrowings exceeded its GDP. The European Union has had to bail out Greece to the tune of 300 billion Euro to prevent it from going bankrupt and pulling down the European Union with it. Already the Euro has depreciated substantially and many are predicting the demise of this European common currency. The European economy, once powerful and rich, faces the possibility of a recession, simply because of the bankruptcy of one of its members.
4. Idris has not predicted bankruptcy today or next year or any time soon. He says if the debt goes up by 12 per cent per annum we would be bankrupt by 2019 when our debt would be equal to our GDP. Do we want to let the country slide into banruptcy?

5. What Idris is saying is that if we continue with the present level of subsidy (already reaching RM74 billion per annum) and we cannot pay our debts, we will certainly not be able to arrest the slide.

6. To pay our debts we must cut back on spending, A big item is the subsidies for food, fuel and power, health, education and tolls.

7. I believe he will not cut subsidy, or at least not much, on food, health and education. But the subsidies for fuel and power and toll payments should be gradually reduced.

8. When I was Prime Minister the price for one barrel of oil was only US$30. The subsidy was not too big. It is now US$80. To keep the same price would mean to increase the amount of subsidy to make up the difference. Similarly when the Government agrees not to increase toll rates it has to reimburse the losses sustained by the operators. This cost a lot of money.

9. Borrowing money to pay for the increasing cost of subsidy is not the answer. A good Government must ensure that servicing loans is sustainable.

10. The Insider and the Opposition must know all these. If they are against cuts in the subsidies it must be because they want the country to go bankrupt so that the Government party would be defeated. You may defeat the Government but if you inherit a bankrupt country, you will not be able to turn around the country either.


INI PULA KOMEN RAKYAT BERKAITAN SABSIDI ..didalam blog Tun Dr Mahathir


I believe that the BN government must first show they are accountable. Are they considering cutting their own expenditure and excesses?

Will they investigate the PKFZ scandal transparently, and make the perpetrators accountable? Will they stop paying tens of millions of ringgit to a PR firm which teaches ministers "how to use Facebook"? When they remove the subsidy, will they accept a ministerial pay cut?

Do Malaysians need to pay the salaries of a bloated cabinet and an extremely bloated civil service? Will the Prime Minister stop blatantly trying to buy votes with millions of ringgit?

Come to think of it, the extremely disproportionate and bloated civil service is the ruling party's own subsidy. The bloated civil service is their "vote bank", which leads to wastage and inefficiency. Is the government willing to let go of this subsidy?

Isn't the cabinet Najib's subsidy as well? Does Najib risk losing MPs and party members if they are not appointed as Ministers? Is that why the cabinet is huge? Palanivel was appointed as a deputy minister to prevent a fallout among BN component parties MIC and UMNO. A former opposition strongman, later turncoat was appointed a senator. Former parliamentarians who lost their seats were appointed as senators and as ministers. Why weren't suitable MPs chosen instead? Why are the rakyat paying their salary?

If BN shows that they are willing to live without their own subsidies, I will support a removal of subsidies. But it doesn't look like BN will any time soon.

Asalamualaikum....

saya sebenarnya dah muak n penat dgn perkataan subsidi n bankrapsi ni...maaf lah....mereka hanya tau bercakap tapi tidak memberikan
pilihan lain/jalan utk menggurangkan masaalah mcm saya jugak walhal mereka di peringkat tertinggi pemerintahan...

kalo ada antara org2 yg berumah banglo tapi bila bab hantar anak p belaja kat luar negara masih mengharap biasiswa ape jadi ngan anak2 org kg/yg pendapatan tak seberapa....nak potong subsidi boleh tapi boleh tak kerajaan menjamin tidak akan ada anak2 yg tidak dapat ke sekolah kerana ibu bapa tidak mampu nak bayar duit bas..atau nak beli baju sekolah...

la ni pun saya rasa masih ramai yg datang kesekolah dgn poket kosong...kalo terasa dahaga minum air paipsi cola...kenapa bukan rakyat m'sia masih membeli barangan yg bersubsidi sama harga dgn rakyat m'sia lepas tu kita bising kata negara akan bankrap....berapa juta org asing tanpa izin dlm m'sia..
berapa ribu antara mereka yg ada motor/kereta secara gelap....

adakah gaji bawah 800 henggit mampu membeli barangan keperluan harian atau sekadar mkn bubur tepung beras mcm saya mkn masa saya
sekolah dulu kerana tak mampu....bila subsidi minyak di kurangkan bukan ke harga minyak akan naik n harga semua barang akan naik juga termasuk tuala wanita sedangkan gaji tidak seberapa.....

saya teringin nak tau kalau ada negara yg tidak memberi subsidi kpd warganegaranya dlm masa yg sama semua harga barangan dlm negara mampu di beli oleh semua rakyat mereka....saya benar2 dah penat dgn ayat kerajaan dah tak ada duit/subsidi/bankrapsi....tapi menteri2 tetap naik gaji...org2 kerajaan gaji depa naik hampir setiap taun kut...kewangan negara stabil ke tidak ke mereka tetap menuntut bonus...negara di luar sana ekonomi masih tak tentu(berita kata) ekonomi m'sia melonjak naik jugak..(berita kata gak)mana tak bankrapnya negara ni kalo glc2 tidak di urus dgn berhemat mcm sime darby....yg membawa negara bankrapsi bukan kerana pemberian subsidi kpd warganya tapi kerana sifat tamak sesetengah ahli lembaga pengarah glc2 kat m'sia lepas tu bebankan rakyat marhain....

Salam YAB Tun,

Ianya adalah perkara yang mudah untuk difahami. Sekiranya hasil pendapatan tidak mencukupi untuk membayar beban hutang, sebagai contoh sebuah negara atau syarikat akan muflis.

Tetapi sebagai sebuah negara yang mempunyai hasil bumi, dan hasil-hasil yang lain yang menjana pendapatan negara, adakah masih tidak cukup untuk digunakan oleh kerajaan untuk menjalankan tanggungjawap terhadap negara dan rakyat? Apakah negara ini perlu berhutang melebihi pendapatan, apakah tujuan hutang tersebut, sekiranya untuk pelaburan, ianya pasti pelaburan yang akan memberikan keuntungan, kerana sudah semestinya pakar-pakar yang akan menguruskan pelaburan tersebut.

Sekiranya hutang tersebut untuk perbelanjaan sudah semestinya tidak akan mendatangkan pendapatan, dan seterusnya secara logik negara tidak akan mampu untuk melangsaikannya sampai bila-bila. Sekiranya perkara tersebut berlaku, siapa yang akan menganggungnya, pasti Rakyat!

Berkenaan dengan subsidi, sekiranya masih tidak dapat dielakan, saya berharap supaya dua benda yang harus dikekalkan, petrol/diesel dan education. Petrol sekiranya dinaik kan, ianya seperti domino, secara automatik barang-barang yg menggunakan pengangkutan juga akan naik, dan akan menyebabkan perbelanjaan oleh rakyat akan berkurangan, dan seterusnya penjanaan ekonomi didalam negara juga akan berkurangan dan kemungkinan banyak yg akan gulung tikar.

Education adalah sebagai pelaburan kepada rakyat untuk menjadi pakar didalam pelbagai bidang professional, kerana majoriti rakyat di negara ini adalah didalam kategori miskin.

Salam.
Salam Dr. M

Is that the only way to avoid this?...removing subsidies?...fuel subsidy particularly..

I think many would agree to demolish certain subsidies gradually, but not subsidies on fuel...we haven't got high purchasing power and removing such critical subsidy would be suicidal...everything goes up, purchasing power goes down, then what?...will we meet the goal to avoid bankruptcy?...

we, the rakyat, know it'll be hard on the government...but i guess the government should seek other way first and i do not think removing subsidies is the only way...removingg certain subsidies, yes...but not fuel and power...(the miserable solution as to give rebate for only vehicles under 1000cc is ridiculous to be honest :D...)

maybe we should cut the wasteful budgets...for example, we don't need MIMOS to be injected with budget worth of billions just to develop student's final-year like projects on a big scale...unless they come out with something useful and can ensure they'll develop on their own(don't say we don't have the cut to develop something useful on our own... just because MIMOS failed to hire qualified employees(not on how many pointer they scored in University, because that's the main problem, ICT-ly speaking) doesn't mean we can't)...if their staff can't do it, make it open-source...fund the open source project, one useful project for a start...

or maybe reassess current projects...many projects have been managed under wrong hands...
or whatever solutions that could work after careful studies...the people don't need this crap solution...government can't manage their funds well, then rakyat should take its toll...that's not a solution...in fact, it's never a solution and i think(within my limited economy knowledge), the solution will speed up the process of bankruptcy ....

and i feel strange because this entry of yours don't reflect what you've known for...a fighter...never say never and such...are you being honest there's no other way?...that's the only question that i hope you can asnwer...because if that's you yourself that think there's no other way, i can't think of any other credential person who can lead us to the 'other way'...not even the opposition...moreover several current clowns that we called menteri nowadays...
thanks...
