A big fat 'F' for Fail: The ETP has failed to meet its targets

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 01:32 PM PDT

This is a statement by not-for-profit research institute REFSA (Research for Social Advancement) released on Wednesday, 20 March 2013.

————-

We are dismayed to find perception manipulation and deception still surrounds the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP). The mainstream media today is full of praise and claims of excellent performance and transformation. This is exactly the opposite of the true picture. Today, REFSA draws attention to 3 points:

Real national income growth has been pedestrian at under 5% per year, well below the 6% targeted by the ETP. PEMANDU is manipulating perception by trumpeting nominal GNI (Gross National Income) numbers, which include inflation, and in US$, which are irrelevant to the vast majority of Malaysians;
PEMANDU still cannot get its basic math and data right. It said (nominal) GNI per capita hit US$9,970 in 2012, but also said it was RM30,809 and the exchange rate was RM3.058:US$1. However, at that exchange rate, RM30,809 is equivalent to US$10,075. It is shocking that this high-powered unit cannot even get the basics correct;
Based on Department of Statistics data, nominal GNI per capita grew an average of just 7.4% per year from 2009 to 2012, which is less than the 8.2% per year average growth rate registered from 2001 to 2010. PEMANDU and the ETP came into force in 2010. In short, the ETP and PEMANDU have failed to increase our GNI per capita above its long term growth trajectory.

Failed: Reaching the target to grow national income by 6% per year

"Propelling Malaysia towards becoming a high-income developed nation" as promised by the ETP requires Gross National Income (GNI) to grow by 6% per year. PEMANDU [1] gave much prominence to this 6% per year growth target in its "A Roadmap for Malaysia" report that launched the ETP with much fanfare in 2010 [2].

However, the just published 2012 Annual Report of the ETP makes not a single reference to the fact that the ETP failed to meet this crucial 6% per year growth target last year. The fact is, real GNI grew by a pedestrian 4.3% in 2012 [3], well below PEMANDU's aspirations and even lower than the 4.9% recorded in 2011.

Whatever happened to the 6% growth target trumpeted by the ETP on its launch?

JOM Balik Undi – Join a Carpool

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 12:57 PM PDT

It is totally outrageous when it became clear in Sep 2012 that the Election Commission has no intention whatsoever to implement overseas voting for Malaysians before the 13th General Elections, in contempt of the recommendations of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Electoral Reform (PSC). The EC Chairman and his Deputy have deliberately made empty promises to overseas Malaysians when in reality it has been thirteen months of inaction and deceit.

Malaysians in Singapore, numbering between 300,000 and 500,000 according to various sources, have no choice but to brace themselves for the long journey home in order to vote in the GE13. Hence this initiative by BERSIH Singapore, to help ease the pain of the travel for the polling day. Together we can make a better Malaysia!

WHAT IT IS

Basically we match Malaysians, who intend to drive home to vote and have empty seats, (the DRIVERS) with Malaysians who would benefit from the empty seats (the PASSENGERS).

For the DRIVERS, you can help making it possible for a few fellow Malaysians go back to vote while optionally have the passengers help you defray some of the transport costs.

For the PASSENGERS, you can go back to vote at zero or reduced transport cost with more flexible timing.

This service does only basic 'match-making', leaving the nitty-gritty (eg. exact pick-up timing and location) to the DRIVERS and the PASSENGERS to sort out between themselves. All we ask from you is to be nice with each other and honour the details you have submitted here.

MCA - its final struggle

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 12:41 PM PDT

Malaysiakini's Soi Lek to resign if Tee Keat fielded reported:

MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek is said to have told the party's central committee meeting yesterday that he would resign if the BN fields arch-rival Ong Tee Keat in the Pandan parliamentary constituency.

Quoting sources, China Press today reported that, apart from Ong, secretary-general Kong Cho Ha and vice-president Ng Yen Yen(right), are not on the list of MCA candidates for the impending general election.

Ong Ka Chuan, former secretary-general and elder brother of former president Ong Ka Ting, will not be asked to defend the Tanjung Malim parliamentary seat.

As for Chua himself, a minister before he stepped down in 2008 due to a sex scandal, the Chinese daily claimed that he will contest but that the seat has yet to be revealed.

Let's leave his threat to resign aside for a few seconds and assess the alleged intentions of MCA (meaning CSL) to drop Kong Cho Ha and Ng Yen Yen out in GE-13. I have to acknowledge these would be bloody wise moves as the two MCA ministers are smelling badly like decomposing rats in a sewer.

can become tourist guide mah
wakakaka

Naturally the Ong brothers have been CSL's intra-party enemies so dropping Ong Ka Chuan is a no brainer in the same way as had been his publicly voiced decision, though by indirect inference, to drop Ong Tee Keat when he named Gary what's-his-name as the MCA choice for Pandan.

Internal party strife has been the malaise that has stricken MCA for eons, in a way unlike other political parties' internal strife, even that as acrimonious as UMNO's Mahathir (now Najib) versus Anwar. While other parties seem to emerged from their intra party struggles more or less without much loss of strength, MCA has through its regular fratricides become incrementally weaker and consequentially politically less relevant.

Chua Soi Lek has shown his mean spiritedness in taking action to marginalize Ong TK when the latter is the most popular MCA politician, probably the only one, among Chinese Malaysians.

Saman Homoseksual RM 100 Juta - Permohonan Maaf Papa Gomo Kepada Anwar Ibrahim

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 07:19 PM PDT

"Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim memfailkan saman ke atas blogger pro-Umno, Papagomo yang menyebar gambar lucah menyerupai Ketua Umum KEADILAN di rangkaian media sosial.

Anwar"Saya telah arah pasukan peguam saya untuk mengambil tindakan undang-undang ke atas blogger pemfitnah yang mempunyai kaitan rapat dengan Umno," kata Anwar di twitter hari ini."

In the letter of demand sent today, Dato' Seri Anwar's solicitors have demanded that the blogger Papa Gomo withdraw his malicious allegations, apologize within 48 hours from today, and pay damages in the sum of RM 100 million."

Permohonan Maaf saya :

Salam sejahtera kepada Dato Sri Anwar Bin Ibrahim Ketua Umum Pakatan Rakyat. Saya dengan ini memohon maaf diatas ketelanjuran saya yang menyebarkan gambar gambar berbentuk separa lucah kepada rakyat. Saya benar benar memohon maaf diatas kebiadapan saya ini yang mencerca Dato Sri dan melabelkan Dato Sri sebagai pengamal Homoseksual.

Dengan permohonaan Maaf ini saya harap agar Dato Sri dapat balik menarik saman RM 100 juta yang difailkan keatas saya kerana saya orang susah, tidak ada duit sebanyak itu untuk membayar saman Dato Sri. Lagipun saya terpaksa menanggung 5 orang adik adik saya yang masih lagi bersekolah manakala ibu saya tidak sihat dan bapa saya pula tidak berkerja.

Apa sekalipun Dato Sri, saya juga dengan ini memberikan amaran buat Dato Sri untuk menarik balik saman tersebut dalam masa 48 Jam kerana jika Dato Sri tidak menarik balik saman tersebut serta membuat permohonan Maaf kepada saya maka saya dengan ini tidak akan teragak agak untuk mendedahkan lebih banyak paparan video Homoseksual Dato Sri untuk tatapan rakyat.

Why Kit Siang WANTS Anwar's endorsement

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 02:45 PM PDT

This would have been unheard of in the early nineties.

When back then, struggling to make an impact (and perhaps some will argue that they still do) DAP's Lim Kit Siang would often lock horns with Anwar Ibrahim. (Here is just one example of what Anwar and Kit Siang engaged in in 1993, and another referring to the same)

But today, these politicos are very different animals.

Kit Siang is often seen in DAP as the supremo (perhaps even higher than a 'tokong') and those who have crossed path with him has always emerged on the losing end. (here, Wee Choo Keong can attest to that having been sacked from DAP for not showing enough 'affection' to party leaders)

So why is it that the recent announcement of Kit Siang contesting in Gelang Patah is announced and endorsed by Anwar Ibrahim?

With Chua Jui Meng mounting a comeback in Johor (after being sidelined by MCA in the 2008 elections, in which as a result Chua Jui Meng instructed his division members to close their bilik gerakan early presumably to sabitage MCA), it is understood that Jui Meng himself wants in on the action should PR take the southern state. DAP's Boo Cheng Hau who is the state DAP leader has in recent weeks been engaged in a tit for tat with PKR's Jui Meng, accusing the latter of using 'black hand' (unseen influence by Party higher ups) in undermining Boo's campaign.

Clearly, all is not well in Pakatan and as GE13 draws nearer, more of this can be seen when whos who in their state begin to tussle for the much touted 'calon'ship.
