Ornamental fish sector set to contribute RM600million to GDP

KUCHING, Nov 26 (Bernama) -- The federal government sees a big potential in the ornamental fish industry under the National Key Economic Area until 2020, said Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry, Chua Tee Yong.

He said the industry would contribute not less than RM600 million to gross domestic product (GDP) and offer about 100,000 jobs by end-2020.

"The ministry has forecast export of 1.5 billion ornamental fish worth RM1.7 billion under the 10th Malaysia Plan," he said in his speech at the seminar and exhibition on Arowana at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak here today.

The text of his speech was read by deputy director (development) of Fisheries Department, Ismail Abu Hassan.

He said Malaysia was one of the top exporters of ornamental fish in the world.

Chua said the Arowana (kelisa) was highly prized where 316,000 fish worth RM146 million were produced in 2009.

Shutting down Genting means thousands of job losses – MCA Young Professionals Bureau

MCA’s concerns that Genting’s casino maybe forcibly shut down should PAS seize Pahang state were confirmed today when Pahang PAS chief Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man is reported to have said that “PAS may consider closing up Resorts World Genting’s gambling operations … (as) this involves religious concerns.”

MCA’s stand
I wish to repeat my party’s stand that MCA does not encourage gambling. Nevertheless, we urge all parties especially PAS to respect the rights of non-Muslims.

Impending job cuts & Brain drain
PAS fails to see another major issue. Genting Highlands is not about the casino only. Its cool weather, amusement park, restaurants and golf course attract all age groups from all over the world. Revoking the casino’s licence serves to scare tourists away with images of Malaysia turning overly conservative and punitive.

Tuan Ibrahim’s assertions that “hudud law is for Muslims only and not non-Muslims” fall flat. It is not just the jobs of Genting staff which are on the line, but also the downstream Muslim and non-Muslim suppliers too. Considering the amount that Genting pays in taxes, the nation’s coffers will see a reduction while beneficiaries of Genting’s corporate service responsibility projects like schools and charities would also be on the losing end.

When jobs cannot be sustained, workers will look elsewhere like Singapore or Macao for better opportunities – thus, Malaysia once again will suffer a drain of its talents.

DAP and PKR, what say you?
DAP and PKR therefore are unable to look after the welfare and interests of Malaysians as a whole – a sharp turnaround of the promises in the Buku Jingga. The much touted Buku Jingga contains mere political niceties, but PAS will never care a twig for its contents or other coalition partners in their gear-up to push for a theocratic state.

I pose to DAP and PKR – What measures will you be taking to ensure that hudud law will not affect non-Muslims? How are you going to face up to the electorate knowing that so many jobs are at stake if Pakatan wrestles Pahang? Should not the Opposition parties be more concerned about generating employment and entrepreneurial opportunities?

多项课题前言不对后语,蔡智勇批民联无法达共识

马华青年专才局主任拿督蔡智勇说,行动党及民联在多项课题上,已经出现严重的分裂、没有共识,以及互相不认同彼此的政策。

他指出,以下的数项课题,显示民联,特别是行动党的内部矛盾,包括:

1. 行动党宣传主任潘俭伟指民联执政后,要减少公务员人数。在回教党坚称那是行动党的“个人”意见后,行动党社青团团长陆兆福就表示,民联一旦执政,森州民联联将不会辞退任何公务员,这项“减少公务员”言论显示行动党及民联的自相矛盾。那到底行动党在减少公务员的课题上,持有什么立场?

2. 槟州首席部长林冠英宣称州政府把 6 亿令吉州债务减至2900万令吉,而事实是槟州政府根本没有减少债务,而是把水务公司转由中央政府接管。但是,当霹雳州政府的水务资产交由中央政府接管,以抵销对中央政府的债务,从之前的9亿7059万令吉债务,减至7866万令吉时,实兆远州议员倪可汉却谴责霹雳州政府如此做。那到底行动党的立场是什么?

3. 林冠英指“国阵新的“网络军团”将会让即将举行的第13届全国大选,成为我国史上使用最肮脏手段的选举,”事实是行动党都在打“网络战”,甚至有领袖以“粗口烂舌”谩骂,这又是多“乾净”的手段?

4. 民联多名领袖反对国内电讯公司向预付卡用户征收6%服务税,而政府最终检讨及搁置征收服务税的决定,但不见得民联在替代预算案,或橙皮书里面说明,民联不允许电讯公司向预付卡用户征收服务税,这都显示民联只是在欺骗选民。
蔡智勇说,上述多项课题已显示,民联及行动党的内部矛盾十分严重,民联各党发表许多不负责任的言论,他们根本在没有达致共识下,就擅自做出个别政党或个人的决定,民联多次的“前言不对后语”,仍有诚信可言?

民联执政彭亨要关云顶?蔡智勇促尊重非回教徒权利

马华青年专才局主任拿督蔡智勇说,针对回教党彭亨州联委会主席依布拉欣指“一旦执政彭亨州,回教党将考虑关闭云顶高原赌场”的言论,马华表示关注。
“我要在此强调我党的立场,即马华不鼓励赌博。无论如何,我們促请所有政党,特别是回教党必须尊重非回教徒的权利。”

蔡智勇抨击回教党再次忽视主要的课题。云顶高原不只是一家赌场,其凉爽的天气、娱乐场及餐馆等,吸引世界各地及不同年龄层的游客。吊销赌场的执照将让游客止步,也导致我国的印象过于保守。

他说,依布拉欣指“断肢法只限于回教徒,而没有影响非回教徒”的说法,是站不住脚的。关闭云顶高原的赌场,不但导致云顶职员失去工作,也影响回教徒及非教徒的供应商。基于云顶高原缴交高额税务,依布拉欣的说法也会影响云顶履行其社会企业责任,以协助学校及福利团体。

“当职员失去工作,他们将会前往其他地方,如新加坡或澳门寻找更良好的就业机会,这将再次导致国家的人才流失。”

蔡智勇说,显然的,行动党及公正党没有顾及所有马来西亚人的福利及利益。橙皮书中谈的都只是政治糖果,但回教党从来没有考虑民联成员党或橙皮书中的承诺,执意要成立神权回教国。

“试问行动党及公正党,你们会采取什么行动以确保断肢法不会影响非回教徒?如果民联执政彭亨,人民将失去许多的就业机会,那民联要如何面对选民?反对党是否应该更加关注增加就业机会,及开创企业的机会?”

More classrooms to qualify for single-session

LABIS: The Education Ministry and Labis MP Datuk Chua Tee Yong have approved RM70,000 to convert an old library in SRJK(C) Labis into four new classrooms.

With the additional classrooms, the school would apply for a single-session for next year.

Parents-Teachers Association chairman Richard Soh said the school has 29 classrooms and it needed more before qualifying to apply for a single-session.
Work in progress: (From left) Soh, school’s afternoon session supervisor Kea York Chuan, PTA deputy chairman Hee Kam Swee and school board chairman Tey Yee Pin inspecting the renovation works.

He said the classrooms would be ready before the school’s new session in January and was in the midst of writing a recommendation for a single-session to the Education Ministry.

“We have been waiting for this for years. Single-session is important for a holistic education, which allow students and teachers more time and space for academic and curricular activities,” Soh said.

The 94-year-old school has about 900 pupils from pre-school classes to Year Six.

The school’s board of governance chairman Tey Yee Pin said single-session would provide a more conducive environment for learning as the afternoons were humid and not suitable to have classes.

Chua, who is also Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry deputy minister, pledged to help the school.

“Education Ministry has allocated RM20,000 and we will help the school raise the remaining fund needed for renovation,” he told reporters after presenting financial donations to 22 schools and non-governmental organisations here

Chua said a total of RM109,500 from his constituency allocation was given out to schools and NGOs.

“We hope to help them to reduce some burden,” he said.

Sungai Lenek and Sungai Chaah to be cleaned up to mitigate floods

LABIS: The government is deepening and cleaning up two major rivers as part of its flood mitigation projects here.

Labis MP Datuk Chua Tee Yong said the rivers involved were Sungai Lenek and Sungai Chaah.

He added that the relevant agencies including district and state offices were on high alert and have been monitoring flood prone areas.

“As the government is ready in case of floods, we hope residents especially in low-lying areas will also take precautions during the rainy season now,” he told reporters after visiting Sg Lenek around the Chaah area recently.

Concerned : Chua (third left) visiting one of the counter set up for flood victims in Labis to collect flood relief fund.

Labis and Chaah were among the worst-hit areas during the floods in the state earlier this year.

Chua, who is also Agriculture and Agro-based Industry deputy minister, said MCA would also meet up with other Barisan Nasional component parties to discuss on preparation for floods such as identifying relief centres and also about the distribution of food when a flood occurs.

Chaah resident Wong Lee Yin, 50, said she hoped the government would informed them on what to do and where to go during a flood to save lives and belongings.

“I am worried about floods especially after the horrifying experience I had to go through during the earlier floods this year,” she said during an interview.

Wong said she managed to save her five children as the water-level rose very quickly and she lost everything including her personal documents such as her MyKad.

“The river is just behind our home and the currents during the flood are strong.

“I saw some villagers using a tractor to transport wheelchair-bound senior citizens to safe ground.

“Financial aid alone is not sufficient as we want to be alerted during an emergency especially floods,” the housewife added.

Another resident V. Subramaniam, 31, said he would start worrying about floods when monsoon season was near.

“December is coming and we have to prepare to shift our things to the higher ground.

“My wife and I will have to be extra cautious as we are concerned not just about our lives but also of a newborn baby,” he said.

蔡智勇促張念群‧“勿把馬華派紅包政治化”

2011-11-23 08:39
(吉隆坡22日訊)馬華青年專才局主任拿督蔡智勇促張念群,勿企圖政治化馬華發放100令吉作為感謝黨員支持和貢獻一事,而往民聯州政府臉上貼金。

“馬華為了感謝黨員一路來與馬華風雨同路的支持和貢獻,發放樂齡黨員100令吉以及新生兒200令吉是為了聊表心意,但行動黨領袖卻不分青紅皂白,指責馬華制度化政治獻金,顯示行動黨任何事情都可以牽扯到政治陰謀,凡事都要政治化。”
他補充,馬華只限於派發給黨員,並且規定只有符合條件,即年齡超過60歲的30萬黨員才有資格獲得100令吉,是為了感謝黨員們多年的默默付出。相比檳州和雪州政府,美其名是派錢,卻定下諸多條件,譬如規定只有新選民才能獲得,顯示民聯政府才是旨在買票,而選擇性派錢的一方。
他也強調,馬華所派發的資金所動用的是黨的資源和資產。

Spell out criteria for RM500 aid, Govt urged

Monday November 21, 2011

LABIS: The MCA Young Professionals Bureau has urged the Government to spell out clear guidelines on the criteria for the RM500 aid.

“Are those already receiving aid from the Welfare Department and retirees allowed to apply? What about odd-job workers with no fixed income?” asked its chairman Datuk Chua Tee Yong.

Under Budget 2012, the Government had announced the one-off cash assistance for households with a monthly income of RM3,000 and less.

Chua questioned whether the income of offspring would be included in the calculation of “household income” together with their parents’ salaries.

He also urged those waiting for the cash aid from the Government not to believe anyone who offered to help them apply for the funds as the application guidelines had not been issued yet.

Chua said he had received a number of complaints about people who wanted to charge a fee for helping to apply for the aid.

He hoped the cash aid exercise would be carried out throughout the year instead of people having to send in their applications within a stipulated period.

Speaking after visiting his constituency here yesterday, Chua who is also Labis MP, took a jibe at Pakatan Rakyat for criticising the Federal Government’s ability to reduce the national deficit without realising there were huge debts in its own backyard.

He said the Opposition should be aware of Budget deficit problems in states like Selangor and Penang.

The Government, he said, had to ensure a balance in reducing deficit and boosting economic growth.

“If the focus is all on reducing deficit, it may affect economic growth and this will cause a higher unemployment rate and slow down economic and business activities,” he said.

At another event, Chua said he had heard of cases where people not affected by floods in Labis had received relief payment.

Despite not being deserving cases, he said they had capitalised on the generosity of the public and the Government’s goodwill.

“I understand that the National Security Council is working with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and police to take action against those who give false information about their situation,” he said after a flood relief presentation to 394 people from Labis, Chaah and Tenang, who were affected by floods earlier this year.
Earlier, a commotion occurred at the council hall during the distribution of flood relief when people rushed to claim the money.

申領500援金‧蔡智勇促速公佈細節

2011-11-19 11:23
(吉隆坡19日訊)馬華青年專才局主任拿督蔡智勇促請內陸稅收局,儘快公佈供月入3000令吉或以下的家庭申領500令吉援助金的細節及程序。

他說,媒體早前報導,當局發現不法集團已開始印製造假的申請表格,準備賣給符合申請資格的民眾,然而申領500令吉援助金根本無需繳費。

“根據內陸稅收局,印製500令吉援助金的表格已經進入最後階段,當一切準備就緒後,將會發放到全國各地的稅收局。因此,我促請當局儘快釐清疑問,讓援助金可真正協助目標群。”
蔡智勇希望內陸稅收局可將資料上載至其網站、將資料分發給相關部門或舉辦講座,讓人民更清楚瞭解申請的條件及程序。

他指出,政府發放一次性的援助金是一項可減低人民負擔的良好決定,提供現金比提供津貼來得更好,以避免引起不必要的問題。

“一旦獲得完整的家庭收入資料,政府也可以重整其他津貼,以提供現金援助。”(光明日報)

Press Statement by MCA Young Professional Bureau Chairman Datuk Chua Tee Yong

MCA Young Professionals Bureau Chairman Datuk Chua Tee Yong welcomes the recent announcement whereby a deal has been reached by PLUS which is owned by UEM and EPF in regards to the toll rates for major highways.
 “I am happy that my proposal raised in Parliament in 2009 which was also brought up by MCA Ministers during Cabinet meetings, was taken into consideration,” Chua said in a statement today.
Chua said during that period, he attended a dialogue with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, where he had suggested that Khazanah or EPF should take over the highway concessionaire companies and to restructure the contracts. The Prime Minister agreed to undertake a further review.

“As such with the restructuring of toll concessionaires and the ownership, there will be NO toll rate increase until year 2015. On top of that, the government saves RM6.5 billion in compensation whereby it consists of a RM2.9 billion waiver in outstanding compensation owed by the government and an RM3.6 billion freeze on toll rate increase.”
He said this showed that the government is concerned with the impact of toll rates on the people.

 “The above announcement shows that the government is committed to reducing the burden of the people,” he added.

He said UEM andPLUS also announce to commit to spend RM 800 million yearly for routine, heavy maintenance and upgrading works, to ensure quality of the roads and facilities in the highways. This shows that nationalization is not sustainable.
“Besides that, UEM and EPF also said that toll increases will be lowered from 10 per cent every three years to five per cent at the same intervals. Based on the calculation, starting from year 2016 with a toll rate increase of 5 per cent every 3 years, the toll charges from Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru (per trip) will be increased from RM 40.90 to RM 57.55 in 2036, compared with RM 79.77 in 2036 at a 10 per cent increase every 3 years.”

 “Although there was a reduction of the toll rate increase, I hope UEM and EPF will relook the rate if the financial condition of PLUS further improves. I believe that toll rate should be based on requirement but not at a fixed basis for long run. With this new arrangement, it is beneficial to EPF and EPF contributors as well.”

蔡智勇对特许经营权合约及过路费宣布表示欢迎

马华青年专才局主任拿督蔡智勇对于UEM集团-公积金局同意检讨南北大道公司特许经营权合约及过路费的宣布表示欢迎。

他周四发表文告指出,他对于曾在2009年在国会所提出的收购南北大道的建议,在马华会长理事会提出并获得带入内阁会议讨论,感到高兴。

他透露,他曾在一项与副首相拿督斯里纳吉的对话中,向纳吉建议国库控股或公积金局应该收购南北大道以及检讨合约。

“首相当时也认同南北大道每3年调涨过路费已加重人民负担,并同意政府应该进行深入研究。因此,随着这项宣布,也显示政府兑现协助减轻人民负担的承诺。

蔡智勇指出,UEM-公积金局同意把每3年过路费调整10%的幅度下调至5%,按照计算,从2016年起,每3年5%的涨幅,以吉隆坡往新山(单程)为例,直到2036年为止,过路费将会从40令吉90仙提高至57令吉55仙,相较10%的涨幅计算为79令吉77仙。

他说,尽管过路费幅度下调,但希望一旦南北大道公司的财务状况有所改善,有关当局能够重新检讨过路费。

蔡智勇也表示反对大道国营化,并且认为过路费应根据需求而定,而不是固定收费,这也意味着如有必要过路费还能再度下调。

錦合獲頒獸醫衛生認證典禮 ‧ 蔡智勇批民聯 反口覆舌誤導人民


  • 12/11/2011 16:23

    (新山12日訊)馬華青年專才局主任拿督蔡智勇在減少公務員、伊斯蘭刑法、附加預算案、國家赤字和國會議員薪水上課題上,指反對黨反口覆舌,在關鍵課題上說一點不說一點,蒙蔽人民。

    他說,行動黨建議減少公務員,但伊斯蘭黨和公正黨不贊成,國會反對黨領袖拿督斯里安華更宣佈民聯立場,不會減少公務員。這意味著行動黨誤導著人民。

    他說,安華可以代表民聯就公務員減少課題,代表民聯說話,卻在伊斯蘭刑法上未能有真正立場。

    蔡智勇也是農業及農基工業部副部長,他昨日出席錦合肉產(馬)有限公司獲頒頒獸醫衛生標籤認證典禮后,如此指出。

    他也說,每當國陣提出附加預算案,必遭民聯批評,指國陣沒有策劃好預算案,唯民聯執政的雪州,在2009年和2011年也提出了附加預算案,增加的開支達1億4000萬令吉和4900萬令吉。

    “提到財政赤字課題,民聯指一旦執政,將確保國家不會出現赤字,但吉打州政府的年收入是4億令吉,卻耗資3億2000萬令吉建設回教大學,未見給予華小撥款或撥出校地。”

    他說,在檳州,2011年和2012年財政算案中,分別出現1億800萬令吉、逾2億令吉的赤字;雪州在國陣執政時,2006年至2007年都取得盈利,但2009年便出現赤字,皆證明民聯未有特殊表現。

    他指出,安華反對提高國會議員的薪金,但雪州今年卻通過調高州議員薪金,導致雪州每年增加129萬令吉開銷。

    他強調,種種例子說明民聯有很強的誤導能力。

    154以農業為主食品工業
    獲獸醫局標籤認證


    至今年10月,全國有154家以農業為主的食品工業,獲得獸醫局發出的獸醫產品衛生標籤(VHM)認證。

    蔡智勇指出,隨著亞洲國家對禽畜業和加工肉類需求不斷增加,獸醫局的責任就是維護公眾健康,以及確保畜牧業品的品質獲得保證。

    他說,國內154家已獲得獸醫產品衛生標籤的業者,可將標籤印在食品包裝上,提高消費者對食品的信心。 

    此標籤認證是隸屬在農業部之下獸醫局。申請者根據獸醫檢驗認證計劃,需符合個人衛生與環境衛生、質量保證與食品安全的最低標準;同時要通過獸醫局對食品安全與質量系統、良好生產規範程序(GMP)的審查。

    他強調,參與認證系統,商家為自家出口的畜牧業品申請准證時,即刻可獲處理和批准,在1962年動物條例下,凡出口的肉類食品必須經過獸醫局發出認證,有助開拓海外市場。

    豬肉產品出口汶萊
    生產規範程序審查


    錦合肉產(馬)私人有限公司擬本月份將豬肉產品出口至汶萊。
    該公司董事經理林振業指出,公司早在2007年獲得食品危害分析關鍵控制點(HACCP),並也通過了良好生產規範程序(GMP)的審查。

    他說,唯有獲得獸醫產品衛生標籤(VHM)認證,方可獲我國認可,把產品出口至國外,唯出口產品也需獲得進口國家對產品的認可。

    他強調,公司產品每月都需交由政府認可的化驗中心,進行品質和含量化驗,消費者可安心食用,更不用擔心防腐劑和黑心豬肉等問題。

    同時,蔡智勇指出,錦合標籤為148,希望更多食品加工業者也能申請獲得獸醫產品衛生標籤。

    出席者計有公司主席林錦華和董事長林志升,振林山區國會議員曾亞英、彭加蘭林丁區州議員謝松清、馬華柔州聯委會副主席張秀福和全國豬肉商公會會長吳春水等。

    Pakatan has no unity or consistency, says Tee Yong

    Sunday November 13, 2011

    JOHOR BARU: Pakatan Rakyat lacks unity and consistency because its leaders have been making contradictory statements on many issues, said MCA Young Professionals Bureau chief Datuk Chua Tee Yong.

    He gave as example when a DAP leader recently issued a statement about reducing the number of civil servants, it had been shot down by Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and PAS.

    Chua also said PAS was going ahead with its plan to implement hudud law in Kelantan even though the matter was not in its Buku Jingga.

    “Anwar’s stand on the issue changes according to the scenario that can help fulfil his political aims.

    “The Opposition is also against the idea of a salary increase for MPs.

    “However, in Selangor, a decision was made to increase the allowance of its assemblymen,” he told reporters after attending De Luxe Circle (M) Sdn Bhd’s veterinary health mark ceremony here on Friday.

    Chua also pointed out that the Opposition had said it would be able to turn around the financial situation in the country. However, the Opposition failed to fulfill this when it took over some states.

    “The performance in Kedah and Kelantan is not getting better, while Penang and Selangor are facing higher deficits than other states.”

    In his speech, Chua, who is Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Minister, said since last month, 154 agro-based food industries had been certified with the Veterinary Health Mark (VHM), under the Veterinary Services Department.

    “The ministry has always stressed on the importance of quality control. The VHM is a symbol of quality awarded to livestock product processing plants under the department’s Veterinary Inspection and Certification Programme,” he said.

    Anwar like a chameleon, says Tee Yong

    The Star/Asia News Network
    Friday, Nov 11, 2011

    PETALING JAYA - Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is a political chameleon who changes his stand when facing different crowds, said MCA Young Professionals Bureau chief Datuk Chua Tee Yong.

    Chua said the Opposition Leader had openly supported the implementation of hudud law in Kelantan in September but in November, he backpedalled to a Chinese crowd in Selangor by saying that hudud law was not part of Pakatan Rakyat's policy.

    He said Anwar's backing of hudud law and for PAS spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat was made only to cater to the large Muslim population.

    "This is where we see his political chameleon ways' in full play. There is no sincerity in his words at all," Chua said in a statement yesterday.

    To gain the support of the urban Chinese community and leaders of 65 Chinese associations and guilds at a function in Subang Jaya on Nov 8, Anwar had stated that Pakatan would not implement hudud law, Chua added.

    He said that if PKR or DAP were genuine in ensuring that hudud law would not be enacted as a federal policy, Pakatan should spell it out clearly in its Buku Jingga or Orange Book.

    "Such recourse is more so pertinent in view of PAS' backing for the Orange Book," he said.

    Chua said Anwar and other PKR leaders had fervently denied Pakatan's plan to reduce the number of civil servants when it was revealed by DAP MP Tony Pua but they did not demonstrate the same enthusiasm in pushing back PAS' plan to implement hudud law in Kelantan, despite concerns and condemnation by Malaysians.

    "This clearly shows the double-standard treatment by Anwar and the lack of courage by PKR to challenge PAS, even if it means putting the interest of non-Muslims at risk.

    "What's more, should Pakatan come to power, there would be no guarantee that the implementation of hudud law nationwide could be stopped by either Anwar or DAP leaders," he said.

    Tee Yong: PAS the real power behind Pakatan, not Anwar

    PETALING JAYA: The statement by DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be the prime minister if Pakatan Rakyat forms the next government is only a ploy, said MCA young professionals bureau chief Datuk Chua Tee Yong.

    He said Anwar could not be the prime minister as facts had proven that PAS was the real leader in Pakatan and PKR did not have the final say on any issue.

    “The most obvious example is when PAS insisted on implementing hudud law even though it is not listed in Pakatan's Buku Jingga or Orange Book,” Chua said yesterday.

    “PAS is implementing Islamic policies in Kelantan and the other states under Pakatan, ignoring the common policy in Buku Jingga. This shows that Anwar cannot stop PAS.

    “On the implementation of hudud, instead of agreeing and following the Buku Jingga, Anwar opted to follow PAS' stance.”

    He said that even if Anwar became the prime minister, the real power would be held by PAS and Anwar would be unable to stop the implementation of hudud law and PAS' goal of setting up an Islamic state.

    “Although Pakatan had earlier agreed to Anwar as its candidate for prime minister, when PAS claimed that its president Datuk Seri Hadi Awang was more suitable to hold that position, Pakatan members no longer bring the subject up,'' he added.

    諷林冠英自說自爽 蔡智勇:伊斯蘭黨說了算

    (吉隆坡8日訊)馬華青年專才局主任蔡智勇譏諷民主行動黨秘書長林冠英所謂全國2800萬大馬人都知道安華是首相,根本是自說自爽。事實證明,伊斯蘭黨才是民聯的主導者,安華能不能當首相並不是安華本身或行動黨說了算,而必須由伊斯蘭黨決定。

    「最明顯的例子就是,即使伊斯蘭刑事法沒有列入《橙皮書》,但伊斯蘭黨還是執意推行,更在吉蘭丹等州屬陸續落實各種伊斯蘭化政策,根本無視《橙皮書》的所謂共同綱領,也無視行動黨的反對,更凸顯安華根本無力阻止。」

    他說,在這種情況下,即使安華當首相,實權及執行者還是由伊斯蘭教主導,安華無法也無能力阻擋伊斯蘭教落實伊斯蘭刑事法及伊斯蘭國的目標。

    他今日發表文告說,民聯確實在很早時說過由安華當首相,可是當時伊斯蘭黨也曾聲稱哈迪阿旺更適合擔任首相,而之後民聯各成員黨也不再提起首相人選的課題。

    他表示,不久前,安華曾發表言論指民聯執政後行動黨國會領袖林吉祥當副首相,可是在伊斯蘭黨表示林吉祥必須是穆斯林才能當副首相之後,安華馬上立場大轉變,改口聲稱自己從沒發表過讓林吉祥當副首相的言論。由此證明安華反反覆覆,其言論根本不足取信。

    「所以事實是,全國2800萬大馬人都知道安華不可信,只有林冠英還全副心思投向安華。」

    他諷刺林冠英聲稱安華當首相,是在自己講自己爽,志在自欺欺人;從這事件上也顯示民聯各領袖各說各話,沒有共識,更甭說共同為國家的發展和進步作出具體的規劃。

    行动党大军要攻柔 蔡智勇不担心

    2011-11-07 10:14
    (昔加末6日讯)农业及农基工业部副部长兼拉美士区国会议员拿督蔡智勇不担心民主行动党国会领袖林吉祥和秘书长林冠英,在来届大选中领军攻打柔佛州。

    他说,行动党要攻打柔州已非新鲜事,针对该党扬言要对马华有派系之分的选区下手,他说,每个政党都有派系,而行动党在柔州的派系纠纷已日益恶化。

    蔡智勇发布文告说,近期行动党柔州主席巫程豪和多区基层针对候选人事宜闹意见,巫程豪更在面子书公开谩骂党领袖,相信该党内部纠纷已达水深火热的地步。

    马华平常心对待

    他指出,马华多年来在柔州默默耕耘,即使行动党要领大军来袭,马华也以平常心对待,因为我国是民主国家,行动党有权选择在任何地方上阵。

    “行动党说柔州华裔选民有反意,实际上,今年的丁能补选已看出华裔选民对国阵的支持和回流,相信华社的眼睛是雪亮的,不会因为行动党的三言两语而否定马华过去在柔州的努力。”

    他也促请行动党在攻打柔州前,必须对柔州人民作出交代,因为该党尚未针对回教刑事法表明立场,证明该党将来也会对伊斯兰党的回教政策卑躬屈膝。

    蔡智勇强调,行动党主席加巴星是唯一反对回教刑事法的领袖,但后者却没有在上阵柔州的名单内,证明林吉祥担心加巴星反对回教刑事法的立场,影响该党在柔州的竞选策略。
    他说,林吉祥声称柔州华社将支持行动党,但马华绝对不会把华社的支持视为理所当然,华社究竟支持哪个政党,必须等到最后一分钟成绩揭晓才知道。
