| Penangguhan GST gambaran pilihan raya tahun depan Posted: 14 Oct 2010 04:07 PM PDT Penangguhan GST gambaran pilihan raya tahun depanKUALA LUMPUR 14 Okt. - Keputusan penangguhan pelaksanaan cukai barangan dan perkhidmatan (GST) seolah-olah mengesahkan kemungkinan kerajaan akan mengadakan Pilihan Raya Umum pada 2011. OSK Research dalam nota penyelidikan meramalkan Pilihan Raya Umum akan diadakan pada separuh kedua 2011 selepas pilihan raya Negeri Sarawak pada awal tahun depan. Selain isu GST, firma penyelidikan itu turut meramalkan pengurangan subsidi dan kenaikan tarif akan ditangguhkan sehingga pilihan raya berakhir. ''Keputusan tersebut mengambil kira sensitiviti politik berhubung pelaksanaan GST,'' katanya. OSK Research berkata, ramalan berhubung pilihan raya itu dibuat selepas mengambil kira berita-berita positif yang berkaitan dengan pembangunan infrastruktur, sentimen pasaran yang dijangka meningkat pada separuh pertama 2011. Sementara itu AmResearch tidak menolak kemungkinan kerajaan akan memperkenalkan GST pada tahun depan, setelah mendapat bantahan kuat daripada orang ramai. ''Tahun depan mungkin waktu terbaik kerana persekitaran ekonomi dijangka lebih stabil dan kondusif,'' katanya. Menurut AmResearch, GST menerima banyak bantahan disebabkan kebanyakan orang masih belum mengetahui maklumat GST secukupnya. Semalam, Kementerian Kewangan dalam kenyataan akhbarnya berkata, GST ditangguhkan bagi membolehkan kerajaan berinteraksi dengan semua lapisan rakyat mengenai pelaksanaannya. Kerajaan akan mengambil kira kepentingan dan kebajikan rakyat bagi memastikan penguatkuasaan GST diterima dengan baik, kata kementerian itu. Bagaimanapun, ia berkata, kerajaan menyedari akan kepentingan GST dalam memastikan kedudukan fiskal yang kukuh dan mapan bagi menyokong pertumbuhan ekonomi jangka panjang. Kerajaan kali pertama mengumumkan cadangan pelaksanaan cukai GST sebanyak empat peratus pada bacaan kali pertama di Parlimen pada 16 Disember 2009. Namun, Rang Undang-Undang GST yang dijadualkan dibentangkan buat kali kedua di Parlimen pada Mac 2010 untuk pelaksanaan cukai tersebut menjelang suku ketiga 2011 ditangguhkan. Pelaksanaan GST dicadangkan bertujuan untuk mengurangkan defisit bajet daripada tujuh peratus daripada Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar pada 2009 kepada 5.4 peratus pada tahun depan. RAKYAT DIINGAT AGAR MEMILIH PARTI YANG AKAN MEBANTU RAKYAT...TIADA LAIN SELAIN PAKATAN RAKYAT  |

| PENANG : First Community Policing Team Launched in BAYAN BARU. Posted: 14 Oct 2010 02:11 AM PDT     PENANG : First Community Policing Team Launched in BAYAN BARU.Georgetown Oct, 14: State Assemblyman YB Sim Tze Tzin had just launched the Pantai Jerejak Community Policing Team in Bayan Baru Market last night. It was the first of its kind in Bayan Baru area. This community policing team was agreed by Southwest District OCPD Tuan Hatta and approved by Deputy OCPD Tuan Lai. The Penang Community Policing Association Chairman Mr. Koay Eng Loh also helped in its formation.YB Sim said that the objective of forming Community Policing was to reduce crime rate in that area. The rapid development in Pantai Jerejak-Bayan Baru had caused many problems to that area, including escalating crime rate. Residents felt increasingly threatened by snatch thieves, break-ins and other crimes. YB Sim said that by forming Community Policing, volunteer members would be the eyes and ears for the police and thus helped to deter criminals. Community policing team would patrol the area together with the police force to ensure the safety of that area.However, he also stressed that Community policing team would not replace professional police. It was the police duty to fight crime. "They are just there to help the police. They have to obey the laws just like anyone. No one is above the laws." He said.He also commended the spirit of volunteerism among the residents of Bayan Baru to sacrifice their time to improve the security of the area. To show support to the Team, he announced to allocate RM6,000 to buy 15 sets of walkie talkie for the team.The Pantai Jerejak Community Policing Team currently had 50 volunteers. Interested residents could contact Chairman Mr. Anthony Kang at 012-561 9193.

| Good News, UN Approves Mechanism to Assist States Eliminate Laws Which Discriminate Women Posted: 14 Oct 2010 02:07 AM PDT 
Good News, UN Approves Mechanism to Assist States Eliminate Laws Which Discriminate Women After much determination and hard work, not least by women rights activists around the world, the United Nation Human Rights Council has adopted a consensus to create a UN Working Group which aims at accelerating the elimination of discriminatory laws against women. The Group's roles include helping States to fulfill their commitment to eliminate discrimination against women, highlighting gaps and making recommendations. This is indeed a cause for celebration although admittedly much more work is to be done. However, I welcome this as a step forward since CEDAW and the Beijing Conference. Empowering women is not only a fundamental human rights duty but when we empower women; we are essentially increasing the capacity of half of our population. It has an economic dimension as well as social implications. In Malaysia, although Article 8 of our Constitution guarantees anti-discrimination on the basis of gender, women are still lagging especially in terms of participation in the work force and also at the level of decision-making. Malaysian female labour force participation rate has not changed for the last 20 years at about 46% and at the top most level of decision-making, there are less than 10% women in Parliament, never more than 3 women Minister at one time in the Cabinet since our Independence and constitute less than 15% of heads of departments in the civil service. Our Employment Act for example refused to recognize the International Labour Organization standard of 90-days maternity leave, and the Government has repeatedly rejected to provide laws against sexual harassment in the workplace. But the legal system is just one of the many challenges women in Malaysia face towards achieving gender equality. Traditional chauvinistic mindsets, such as the one displayed by Ahmad Shah Md. Zin, secretary general of CUEPACS who claimed that the increase of women participation in the civil service will affect the progress of our country or UMNO MPs who make sexist remarks in Parliament, continue to make our effort towards gender equality an uphill task. I call upon the Government to fully support the UN Working Group's task in removing gender discrimination in Malaysia. Malaysia is a signatory to CEDAW but 15 years after that, we are still lagging behind. Unless the Government takes full responsibility now, we will waste another decade while the world moves forward in empowering women.

| Another building collapse - The public has lost confidence in “Projek Kerajaan Barisan Nasional” Posted: 14 Oct 2010 01:56 AM PDT 
Another building collapse - The public has lost confidence in "Projek Kerajaan Barisan Nasional" I refer to the NST report today entitled "10 hurt after classroom floor caves in". The report said that the wooden floor of one of SK Gunung classrooms in Alor Setar Kedah caved in during morning lessons and the incident caused a year four pupil to be hospitalized for broken legs. A teacher and 9 other students were given outpatient treatment. Although the cause of the incident has not been determined, the State Education Department building inspectors and the Fire and Rescue Department did not rule out weak floor structure as one possibility. This is appalling as the report said that the building was only renovated a few years ago. Questions once again arise on the integrity and quality of Government contractors. This is not the first case where public building collapse due to poor job done by Government contractors. The public has lost confidence in the safety and quality of public buildings due to recent incidents where Malaysians have seen water leaking in the Parliament to landslides to collapse ceilings of ministry buildings and court complex, and not forgetting the collapse of the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Gong Badak Stadium. The Government cannot afford to wait until incidents like this happen before taking actions. The first thing it has to do is to check on the integrity of all new buildings especially those done by contractors who have history of poor quality work. Secondly, it is now time for Barisan Nasional to come clean on awarding contracts for public projects. Pakatan Rakyat State Governments have shown the way towards open tender which not only reduces the cost of project through competitive bidding but also ensure that only the best contractors get the job. The question remains whether Barisan Nasional wishes to continue enriching their cronies through dubiously awarded tenders or to safeguard the safety of the Rakyat and to use public funds prudently. I urge the State Education Department to immediately conduct a safety check on the other buildings in SK Gunung and also all other project done by the contractor of the collapse building. If found that the collapse is due to poor construction work, the contractors responsible should also be blacklisted from taking on public projects in the future.

| MP Gobala ugut keluar PKR jika proses pemilihan terus dinoda Posted: 14 Oct 2010 01:37 AM PDT TERKINI @ 03:20:34 PM 14-10-2010 October 14, 2010
Sehubungan itu, Ahli Parlimen Padang Serai ini menggesa Jawatankuasa Pemilihan Pusat (JPP) segera mengambil tindakan untuk membetulkan segala kelemahan dan kekurangan yang wujud ketika pemiliham bahagian, yang berakhir 3 Oktober lalu, dan jika gagal beliau akan meninggalkan parti. "Hari ini, saya datang dengan kenyataan ini meminta jawatankuasa pemilihan segera menyelesaikan kesemua masalah berkaitan dengan pemilihan bahagian. "Saya mahu mereka berlaku adil, telus dan berkecuali kepada semua. "Jika keadaan ini berterusan, maka tidak gunanya (saya) tinggal lagi (dalam parti), jika ada individu yang boleh memanipulasikan pemilihan cara-cara begini," kata beliau yang pernah dikaitkan akan keluar parti satu hari bersama beberapa wakil rakyat yang telah pun keluar. Beliau telah menafikan khabar-khabar angin itu sebelum ini. Kata Gobalakrishnan, sepanjang 11 tahun lalu beliau berdiri teguh bersama parti tetapi ini kali pertama "berdiri di depan kamera" mendesak jawatankuasa pemilihan bertindak tegas. "Mereka boleh panggil saya pengkhianat atau trojan, tetapi saya akan tegas... tetapi jika perkara ini berterusan, saya tidak fikir saya perlu kekal," kata beliau pada sidang media di bangunan Parlimen. Gobalakrishnan merupakan salah seorang pemimpin yang dicalonkan untuk jawatan naib presiden. Hari ini beliau merujuk kepada kekecohan ketika pemilihan cabang Subang dua minggu lalu di mana Naib Presiden R. Sivarasa gagal untuk mempertahankan kerusinya. "Tetapi sekarang kawan kita dari Subang V. Sivam (yang dipilih sebagai naib ketua) semalam diumumkan bahawa dia digantung sementara menanti tindakan disiplin," katanya lagi. "Keputusan dibuat tanpa memanggil MPP ataupun memaklumkan MPP dan saya percaya keputusan itu dibuat oleh beberapa orang yang ada di sana untuk menyelamatkan Sivarasa yang telah tewas," katanya. Semalam, Setiausaha Agung PKR Saifuddin Nasution Ismail berkata JPP yang bermesyuarat pada 5 Oktober lalu telah meneliti laporan oleh pengawas pemilihan dari hal pemilihan cabang Subang yang telah diadakan 26 September lalu. "Pemilihan cabang Subang dibatalkan berikutan ancaman dan ugutan yang diterima oleh pengawas-pengawas pemilihan dan petugas-petugas serta ahli JPP Sabaruddin Mohd Yassin. "JPP juga telah memutuskan dua individu iaitu Muhammad Najmi Samsudin dan Sivam Veeramuthu telah hilang kelayakan bertanding pada pemilihan cabang Subang yang akan diadakan semula apakala tarikh baru ditentukan oleh sekretariat parti. "Mereka berdua akan dirujuk kepada Jawatankuasa Disiplin untuk tindakan selanjutnya bila mana mereka akan dipanggil memberi keterangan. "Sementara menunggu kes mereka dihadapkan kepada Jawatankuasa Disiplin, keanggotaan mereka digantung mengikut fasal 27.3 Perlembagaan Parti berkuat kuasa serta-merta," kata Saifuddin dalam kenyataannya semalam. "Saya percaya JPP telah gagal. Saya minta bersihkan kesemua kes sebelum pemilihan pusat parti, atau bubarkan mereka dan menangguhkan pemilihan kebangsaan selama satu atau dua bulan agar ia adil kepada semua," katanya lagi. Dalam pada itu, Saifuddin pada sidang media di pejabatnya tengah hari tadi enggan memberikan sebarang komen berhubung kenyataan Gobalakrishnan itu. "Saya tidak mahu komen mengenai perkara itu sebab belum tahu sebab-sebabnya. "Tunggu dapat laporan rasmi baru saya akan beri ulasan," kata Saifuddin lagi.  |
KUALA LUMPUR, 14 Okt — Anggota Majlis Pimpinan Pusat (MPP) PKR N. Gobalakrishnan memberi kata dua akan keluar parti itu sambil mendakwa Naib Presiden Azmin Ali dan beberapa pemimpin tertinggi membentuk "puak" untuk memanipulasikan proses pemilihan yang menggunakan sistem langsung buat julung kali.| You are subscribed to email updates from WARTAWAN RASMI LAMAN REFORMASI To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
