Media statement by dr chen man hin, dap life advisor in seremban on 28th sept 2011

MERIT NOT QUOTA’ AS STATED BY PM NAJIB AT THE KHAZANAH MEGATRENDS FORUM ARE STIRRING WORDS, BUT IS IT A POLICY STATEMENT?

WE HAVE HEARD MANY PROMISES AND DECLARATIONS BUT THE WORDS ARE JUST WORDS AND HOPES AND PROMISES ARE NOT FULFILLED.

The words are not new, in fact what he declared yesterday are words and
ideas which the DAP has been saying  for the past 46 years,  since 1965 when
the DAP was formed.

If UMNO had listened and accepted our thinking, Malaysia would be a
different country today in the company of Asian Tigers like Singapore,
Taiwan, Hong Kong and S Korea.

Malaysia would be a high income economy as our per capita income would not
be US$ 8000 of today, but in the region of US$20,000 or more

how did this catastrophy happen.  because past UMNO PM TUN RAZAK launched
the New Economic Policy in 1971, which commanded that all shares in listed
or unlisted companies must surrender 30% of its shares to bumiputras.

It was meant to make bumiputras rich in double quick time. well it did not.
In fact, while the NEP has created a malay middle class and malay tycoons,
the vast majority of malays in the rural areas and urban slums remain poor.

The ethnic quota  of 30% dampened business.  foreigners and local businesses
stayed away, and the economy slowed down considerably compared to other
countries in Asia. statistics also show that with the NEP, more than 50% of
households in Malaysia are living below the poverty level of RM 3000 a
month.

Look at the World Bank figures on Per capita income

 PER CAPITA INCOMES                           WORLD BANK (2010)

MALAYSIA              US$      8519                 RANKING         47
SINGAPORE                      43,324                                        12
HONG KONG                     31,877                                        19
SOUTH KOREA                 20,757                                        26
CHINA PR                           4,393                                        74
 JAPAN                              43,161                                        13

If Malaysia continues with the NEP and its 30% bumi quota, the economy will
stay sluggish, and the country will stay a middle income economy. Poverty
will grip the rurual areas.

SUCCESS OF CHINA.   china was a communist country with a backward economy.
the turnaround came when Deng Xiao Ping became Prime Minister;  In 1978 he
launched off the Four Modernisations Policies, and since then China
progressed rapidly until today it is now the Second Largest Economy in the
world. he led China to a capitalist economy based on a free market policy,
extensive liberalisation and globalisation.

PM Najib is doing the right thing to a ‘Merit, not quota’ system.  he
should follow the example of China via a free market economy, liberalisation and
globalisation.

The big question is?  Can he get UMNO and Perkasa to change?

首相纳吉在“国库投资大趋势论坛”发表
“以绩效取代固打制”的谈话让人恻目,但那是政策谈话吗?

我们听过很多承诺及宣言,但那都是空口说白话,但却从未能实现。

那些话都不是很新鲜的,纳吉昨天讲的话,其实自1965年行动党创立迄今46年都一直在讲的理想。

假如巫统能听取及接受我们的观点,马来西亚早就是一个不同的国家,就会像新加坡,台湾,香港及南韩四小龙的国家。

马来西亚将会有更高收入,人均收入不会像今日的8000美元,而会超过2万令吉。

何以会发生那样悲呢?因为已故的巫统首相敦拉萨於1971年实施新经济政策,
规定全部上市公司或没有上市的公司都必须保留30%的股权给土著。


他们说是要尽快帮助土著致富,但却没有效果。事实上,新经济政
策产生很多有钱的马来中产阶级,但多数的城市木屋区及乡区的马来人还是很穷。

30%土著固打制影响企业界,国内外商家都在退缩,与其国亚洲国家相比来说,国家的经济放缓,根据统计数据反映,在实施新经济政策后,超过半数的家庭生活在每月赚取3000令吉的贫穷线下。

以下是世界银行提供的人均收入排名的数据比较:


 PER CAPITA INCOMES                       WORLD BANK (2010)

马来西亚                   8519 美元                   排名47

新加坡                     43,324美元                   排名12

香港                         31,877美元                   排名19

南韩                         20,757美元                  排名26

中国                           4,393美元                  排名74

日本                         43,161美元                  排名13


假如马来西亚仍继续保留新经济政策的30%土著固打制,经济将会继续滞后,国家将继续停留在中等收入经济,乡区人民依然生活在贫困中。

中国的成功。中国原是落后的共产主义国家,在邓小平担任总理时就给中国带来转捩点,於1978年推行四大现代化政策,从此中国腾飞发展,今天成为世界第二大经济体,因为他领导中国以自由市场及开放经济与全球化,而迈向资本主义经济发展。

首相采取“绩效代替固打制”的作法是明确的,他必须仿效中国采取市场经济及开放与全球化的步骤。

问题是,他能得到巫统及土权会的认同去作出改变?
