PUTRAJAYA 21 Dis. - Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin menyifatkan Program 100 Hari yang dikemukakan pakatan pembangkang jika berjaya mengambil alih pemerintahan negara sebagai satu pembohongan besar yang bertujuan menipu rakyat.
Beliau menganggap kenyataan pembangkang itu sekadar umpan untuk menarik pengundi dengan bermacam-macam tawaran istimewa tanpa membuat perkiraan betul terutama dari segi kewangan.
Sebagai contoh, katanya, jika 400,000 orang guru diberikan imbuhan bulanan sebanyak RM500, ini bermakna kerajaan pembangkang perlu membelanjakan RM200 juta sebulan dan jika diukur setahun ia membabitkan kos RM2.4 bilion.
''Dia kata ada duit jadi kita bacalah (andaikan) tapi implikasinya kalau naik gaji guru tapi tak naik gaji pegawai kerajaan lain yang berjumlah 1.2 juta orang, macam mana?
''Apakah guru sahaja ditawarkan, kenapa tidak tawarkan kepada yang lain? Kalau semua dinaikkan gaji, setahun sudah berapa, darabkan dengan beberapa tahun, boleh bankrap kita," soal beliau.
Muhyiddin mengulas kenyataan pakatan pembangkang yang dalam konvensyen mereka di Pulau Pinang Ahad lalu mengemukakan Program 100 Hari yang mengandungi sembilan perkara termasuk pengurusan negara, ekonomi dan pendidikan yang akan dilaksanakan dalam tempoh 100 hari jika menang pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13.
Antaranya mengarahkan Khazanah Nasional dan Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) menyempurnakan pengambilalihan aset lebuh raya oleh kerajaan untuk menghapuskan tol, merombak subsidi kepada swasta dan menaikkan imbuhan guru sebanyak RM500.
Menurut beliau, pembangkang boleh berkata apa sahaja kerana mereka tidak mempunyai pengalaman mengepalai Kerajaan Pusat berikutan setiap keputusan memerlukan kajian, penelitian dan kesan tempoh masa panjang.
''Cakap tu kenalah teliti dan mendalam, jangan kerana nak tarik sokongan rakyat lepas itu katalah...Nauzubillah dia memang (pilihan raya) dan tak boleh kotakan janji, dia akan kata pula tak kan kita nak naikkan gaji guru.
''Kakitangan kerajaan lain takkan nak berdiam diri, tuntutan persatuan-persatuan lain lagi, takkan ada yang akan cakap, tak apa, dia boleh naik (gaji) kami tak naik pun tak apa," katanya dalam nada sinis.
Muhyiddin menambah, kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) tidak akan terikut-ikut dengan kerenah pembangkang kerana BN boleh kekal dalam keadaan yang cukup baik serta semua pihak dapat dinikmati kemajuan.
Justeru, kata beliau, rakyat perlu lebih teliti supaya tidak termakan dengan tawaran pembangkang.
Sementara itu mengulas mengenai kewujudan banyak parti baru seperti Keadilan Insan Tanah Air (KITA), Muhyiddin berkata, sebagai sebuah negara demokrasi, semua pihak yang berkemampuan boleh bertanding dan mendaftarkan pertubuhan politik mereka.
''Lebih ramai lebih meriah, sebab rakyat ada banyak pilihan tetapi bagi kita ia tidak menggugat kerana kebanyakan yang wujud boleh bertahan satu penggal sahaja, sebab tidak ada idealogi, pemimpin mereka pun macam yang kita lihat sekaranglah tidak ada pandangan dan visi jelas untuk negara.
''Tidak seperti BN, Perdana Menteri sudah gariskan kerangka untuk membawa negara berpendapatan tinggi dan maju tapi pembangkang tak ada perancangan hendak membawa pembaharuan ekonomi atau membentuk negara," katanya.
1Malaysia ciptaan kita sendiri - PM
'Pembohongan besar untuk tipu rakyat'
Najib Tun Razak menandatangani plak Konsortium Pengendali Insurans Kongres Kesatuan Pekerja-Pekerja Di Dalam Perkhidmatan Awam (Cuepacs) pada majlis Konvensyen Tritahunan Kongres Kesatuan Pekerja-Pekerja Dalam Perkhidmatan Awam (CUEPACS) Kali Ke-25 (2010-2013), Kuala Lumpur, semalam.

KUALA LUMPUR 21 Dis. - Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak melahirkan rasa terkilan apabila dituduh menciplak gagasan 1Malaysia dari negara lain.
Perdana Menteri menegaskan, perbuatan berkenaan adalah satu pendustaan besar kerana beliau selaku orang yang bertanggungjawab memperkenalkan 1Malaysia tahu perkara sebenar.
"Ini bukan ciplak dari negara lain, ini ciptaan kita sendiri.
"Negara lain boleh ada (slogan) 'satu' ini dan 'satu' itu tetapi tiada negara lain dalam dunia ini yang ada 1Malaysia Rakyat Didahulukan Pencapaian Diutamakan," tegasnya.
Beliau berkata demikian sewaktu merasmikan Konvensyen Tritahunan Kongres Kesatuan Pekerja-Pekerja Dalam Perkhidmatan Awam (CUEPACS) Kali Ke-25 (2010-2013) di Universiti Malaya (UM) di sini hari ini.
Sebelum ini, Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim secara berterusan cuba mengelirukan rakyat apabila mendakwa kerajaan melalui firma Apco Worldwide menciplak 1Malaysia daripada konsep One Israel yang diperkenalkan pada 1999.
Gara-gara tindakan terdesak itu, Anwar digantung daripada menghadiri persidangan Dewan Rakyat selama enam bulan setelah Jawatankuasa Hak dan Kebebasan Parlimen mendapati dakwaan itu tidak benar.
Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, Najib berkata, kerajaan hari ini melangkah ke hadapan bukannya berasaskan sesuatu yang direka dan kemudiannya didagangkan untuk mengelirukan rakyat.
Tegas beliau, adalah amat mudah untuk membuat janji politik tetapi semua pihak perlu sedar adakah pendekatan populis seperti itu menguntungkan negara.
"Saya percaya ahli-ahli CUEPACS boleh berfikir secara rasional dan tahu bahawa untuk membangunkan negara, kita mesti mendokong dan melaksanakan dasar-dasar yang bertanggungjawab.
"Kerajaan yang bertanggungjawab memerlukan polisi yang bertanggungjawab, bukannya sesuatu yang kita lemparkan sebagai janji kerana ia tidak berasaskan realiti sebenar," katanya.
Justeru beliau mengingatkan ahli CUEPACS supaya tidak mengambil pendekatan berkonfrantasi dengan kerajaan sebagaimana tahun 60-an dalam membuat tuntutan kerana ia nyata tidak menguntungkan.
Jelas beliau, di sesetengah negara maju Eropah, saban bulan pasti ada mogok besar yang menyusahkan rakyat sehingga membantutkan ekonomi.
"Kita tidak mampu bersikap demikian atau ambil langkah sedemikian, biar kita meningkat walaupun tidak sampai ke tahap yang kita idamkan tetapi yang penting masa depan kita terjamin," katanya.
BN akan jawab – Najib

PUTRAJAYA 21 Dis. – Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menyifatkan kenyataan pakatan pembangkang sebagai tidak berpaksi kepada realiti kemampuan sebenar apabila mahu melaksanakan Program 100 Hari jika berjaya mengambil alih tampuk pemerintahan negara pada Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-13.
Serentak itu, Perdana Menteri berkata, Barisan Nasional (BN) akan memberikan reaksi yang lebih terperinci sebagai jawapan balas kepada janji manis pakatan pembangkang dalam konvensyen mereka di Pulau Pinang Ahad lalu.
‘‘Kita akan beri reaksi yang lebih jelas sebab apa yang dia nyatakan itu tidak berpaksi kepada realiti kemampuan sebenar,” katanya.
Beliau ditemui pemberita selepas menyaksikan majlis menandatangani memorandum persefahaman (MOU) antara kerajaan Malaysia dan India bagi Pengurusan dan Pembangunan Lebuh Raya di negara itu, di sini, hari ini.
Najib mengulas hasil konvensyen pakatan pembangkang yang mengemukakan Program 100 Hari mengandungi sembilan perkara termasuk pengurusan negara, ekonomi dan pendidikan yang akan dilaksanakan dalam tempoh 100 hari jika menang pada pilihan raya umum akan datang.
Antaranya mengarahkan Khazanah Nasional dan Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) menyempurnakan pengambilalihan aset lebuh raya oleh kerajaan dengan tujuan menghapuskan tol serta merombak struktur subsidi bagi mengurangkan subsidi kepada swasta dengan memindahkannya bagi menampung perbelanjaan subsidi rakyat.
Selain itu, pembangkang berjanji menaikkan imbuhan guru sebanyak RM500 sebulan dan melupuskan Felda Plantations bagi membuka ladang yang diuruskannya kepada generasi kedua dan ketiga Felda
Pakatan will be hard-pressed to fulfil pledges

THIS is increasingly looks ing like a quick fix to arrest one’s declining in popularity, in a spell that coincides with the rival gaining ground.
That is what Pakatan Rakyat leaders have resorted to by unveiling on Sunday the “100 Days Pakatan Rakyat” — reforms which they promise to implement within the first three months of coming to power.
The proposed reforms include abolishing the Internal Security Act, reducing subsidies for the private sector, providing RM500 monthly increment for teachers and increasing oil royalties by 20 per cent for Sabah, Sarawak, Terengganu and Kelantan.
They also want to restructure the Election Commission, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, Attorney-General’s Chambers and also the police force, apart from forming a royal commission to solve the problem of illegal
immigrants and citizenship issues in Sabah and Sarawak.
Such reforms are merely aimed at casting doubt on the independence of these organisations and to accuse them of being mere government tools. This is not something new as Pakatan had been heckling these institutions all the while that they were being strengthened. A hint at a sense of paralysis is an old trick of the opposition and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Pakatan is inviting talk of a desperate lunge at political gains.
In fact, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng had said at the second Pakatan convention in Penang that the reforms were a “black and white guarantee” that they would work for the benefit of the people.
Raja Petra Kamaruddin, ally-turned-critic of Pakatan, had already been airing his disappointment at the lack of commitment to reforms.
He wrote recently: “What is Pakatan Rakyat’s excuse? Pakatan Rakyat talks about reforms.
But what reforms are they themselves introducing? They demand that Barisan Nasional reform. Should not Pakatan Rakyat demonstrate what it means by reforms by first of all reforming itself?
“In a nutshell, this is what I mean when I say that the Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM) seeks to reform the political environment of Malaysia. Note that our target to push for reforms is not just Barisan Nasional but also Pakatan Rakyat.”
As sweet and promising as it may sound, the latest batch of grand-sounding promises appear altogether hollow and tactical.
Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) faculty of administrative science and policy studies lecturer Assoc Prof Shaharuddin Badaruddin said the reforms were merely a reaffirmation of what Pakatan had previously promised during the 2008 general election.
He said the reaffirmation was necessary in order to get voter support. “The problems in Pakatan would surely be highlighted by BN in the next general election. And to divert from this comes the promises of reforms.”
Apart from the People’s Declaration which Raja Petra said was embraced by Pakatan as its manifesto for the 2008 general election, there is also the Common Policy Framework — a detailed plan to transform Malaysia announced
last year, which has yet to see any progress.
And now, there is the “100 days” reforms.
Another question that needs to be answered is whether it is financially possible to implement some of these reforms?
BN leaders are not about to dignify the latest series of spectacular promises. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said they were not grounded on realities.
His deputy, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, highlighted the immense financial burden to the nation. For example, he said raising the salary of teachers by RM500 would involve 400,000 teachers on the government payroll.
What about the other departments? We have 1.2 million civil servants, not including the ones in the states and the local authorities. Would they just keep quiet and let the teachers enjoy their raise? So multiply all that and take all the elements into consideration. Our country would be bankrupt within years!” Comparatively, the “BN Charter” sounds doable and sober.
While Pakatan is promising the sun and the moon, which was how Muhyiddin described it, BN had opted for a charter to uphold the Constitution and rule of law; strengthen racial relationship; improve the economy; ensure quality education, strengthen the family institution and reject corrupt practices.
In the 2008 general election, many Malaysians, especially the young and first-time voters, opted for Pakatan as they were influenced by its manifesto.
However, this time around, the same voters are likely to question how many of these promises have been implemented.
To this, the Pakatan leaders cannot afford to give the excuse that the failure in implementation is because they are not the federal government. Such reasons will not go down well with voters who were previously impressed with Pakatan.
The burden is now on Pakatan to prove that the reforms they promise are for real. They must come out with exact details and methods on how to achieve their pledges.
For instance, which aspects in the EC, MACC and police force does Pakatan intend to restructure and what would be the implications.
If that is done properly, instead of merely making promises, then one would have a better evaluation of Pakatan’s promises of reform
