政府首次公佈土著股權算法,你有何話說?

政府今日(11月13日)首次公佈土著股權佔有率的計算法,證明截至2004年杪,土著在企業界的股權佔有率確實如第九大馬計劃所指僅達18.9%。

首相署部長拿督斯里阿芬迪今日表示,這項土著股權佔有率,是根據首相署經濟策劃組屬下技術委員會的資料計算所得出的數據。

他說,這種計算法的使用,是獲得國際金融機構如世界銀行、國際貿幣基金組織及亞洲發展銀行所認可的。

因此,他重申,最近提出的土著股權佔有率在2005年達36.64%的數據,是不正確的。

該委員會是由首相署經濟策劃組、大馬公司委員會、證券委員會、大馬股票交易所及國民投資公司的專家組成。該委員會也獲得外來工藝資訊專家的協助,以蒐集所需要的資料。

你對政府首次公佈土著股權佔有率的計算法,有何意見?

公說公有理,婆說婆有理,若政府有心不讓我們這些市井小民知道真相,肯定會"製造"一些"有利"數據,博取人民的信任.

Since this report is recognized and approved by all those international prestige body, just open to public and let public to judge whether this report is more accuracy then ASLI. It will be very much convincing then just keep on argue verbally though media. But unfortunately our government has too many things in confidential until some of the Minister and Parliament Members have no right to have the details. Our honor Minister only know to say “don’t challenge”, “don’t argue”, “don’t discuss anymore”, “must believe on government”, but never show convincing prove and evidence; who will believe?

既然政府肯定18.9%是对的,那么, 说36.64%的公务员应该被教训!

Since it is accurate, our honourable MCA ministers, do you all have a formula on how this figure is calculated? If you have access to it, say something! People always assume that say nothing or no complaint means 'right'; but is that general rule applicable to you all? Can Malaysian Chinese assume that 18.9% is true?

只手遮天的所谓言论自由和类同美国“爱国者法”,不容置疑政府所给予所有答案,民主开倒车,此乃全马人民的悲哀。生于斯长于斯的我对这国家的热爱是被九流政客的口号政治所削减的。

即然老兄你的計算法是獲得國際金融機構如世界銀行、國際貿幣基金組織及亞洲發展銀行所認可的。
那麼就公佈計算的內容吧!
反正你要說多少也可以,
重點是100%是最理想, 對嗎!!!
拖拖拉拉的, 浪費時間...

The response to my recent column 'While Malaysia fiddles, its opportunities are running dry', published in The Age
newspaper on November 15 has been overwhelming. I've received hundreds of e-mails and messages, many from
Malaysians both in Malaysia and outside, of which perhaps 95% have been supportive. Thank you for these. It
seems that the column has given voice to concerns that many Malaysians have.

I'd like to emphasise (and as many of you realise already), that I wrote the column as constructive criticism. I like
Malaysia very much. I visit often and have many Malaysian friends of all races. I've also written a lot that is positive
about Malaysia in the past, most notably in a previous book of mine - The Asian Insider: Unconventional Wisdom for
Asian Business, which has no less than five chapters to explain to people outside Malaysia why I feel that Malaysia
should be given more credit than it gets.

There have been many achievements. There is much about which Malaysians can be proud. Malaysia, for example,
is far more politically mature and developed than is Singapore. The media is more open too (but of course not as
open as it could or should be.) Malaysians are more entrepreneurial too. AirAsia started in Malaysia and has
revolutionised air travel across Asia. In Singapore, there is very much a sense that the government has to do
everything.

I also believe that the NEP, which has seen special advantages given to bumiputeras over other groups, has been
important for Malaysia. It has been essential for nation building. Malaysia is peaceful and while the various groups
may not mix much there is clear mutual respect between them. That is a huge achievement.

However, the problem as I said in my column, is waste. And also the use of statistics that are blatantly wrong.
Malaysia also has a big problem with transparency. Too little account is made of how other people's money is spent.
The police too are way too corrupt for a country as developed as Malaysia. The rote learning that is practiced in the
schools also needs to be done away with. Generations of Malaysian children are missing out on an education that
should teach them how to be creative and critical - this is what a truly modern, boleh country needs. Again, my
comments are meant to be constructive. And I make them as a non-Malaysian largely because many Malaysians
feel rightly or wrongly that they cannot say these things themselves in their own country.

Since my column was published, plans for a new RM400 million Istana have been announced and the Agriculture
Ministry parliamentary secretary has told Parliament that Malaysia's first astronaut will be playing batu seremban
and spinning tops and making teh tarik while in space. There are countless scientists around the world who would
give anything for the opportunity to go to space and do real experiments. For the Malaysian government to send an
astronaut into space to play Malay children's games serves only to re-emphasise my point about waste. Not only
that, it makes Malaysia look infantile in the eyes of the rest of the world, which is a great pity when Malaysia has
made so many real achievements. The world is getting more clever, more competitive and more dynamic every day.
There are too many in Malaysia who don't seem to understand this.

Of course my views are just that: my views. But I have spent most of my adult life analysing and writing about Asia. I
am direct and critical; I do not veil my criticisms because I don't want to waste my time or yours with readers trying to
guess what I really mean. Open debate is absolutely critical for all modern, dynamic countries. The free flow of
ideas and information helps to make countries rich. Political leaders cannot do everything on their own be they in
the UK, Australia or Malaysia. They need help. Otherwise they make mistakes. And when they do, whose fault is
that? Those who prefer to stay quiet? And should I as a non-Malaysian be commenting on Malaysia? Of course.
Malaysian political leaders and commentators routinely comment about other countries. That's how the world is now,
an inter-dependent, global world. And the world is much better for it.

I will write another column about Malaysia soon.

官字两个口,我讨厌不诚信的家伙。若是五十四个年头还不能使一个种族翻身,那已证明了一些“定论”
1。领袖无能或贪得无厌。
2。天生愚蠢无药可救或江山易改本性难移。

看来要给足他们100年,难怪600年来,还总是把失败,推给他人。。。

就点到为止吧

一目了然

马来西亚政府的数据:
马来亚银行,国能和马电讯账面价值都是RM1,市场价值却分别是RM11.40,RM10.80 和 RM9.45. 政府已低于市场10倍的账面价值来计算土著股权而得出18.9%是睁着眼睛说瞎话。

马来西亚政府的教育制度:
拿STPM与Matriculation做相等论,就像告诉人家:鸡蛋和石头的硬度相等!

总结马来西亚政府:
腐败!

Malaysia bites back and industriously trades the insults
by Michael Backman
The Age
November 29, 2006

MY LAST column on wasteful government spending in Malaysia (Business, 15/11) generated a furore. I
received more than 600 emails from readers, mostly Malaysians (both expatriate and in Malaysia) and
nearly all supportive.

The column was the most emailed item on The Age's website for six days straight and it was replicated in
dozens of blogs worldwide.

My personal website received more than 50,000 hits. A Malaysian Government minister criticised the
column publicly. And the Malaysian Opposition Leader issued a news release in its support.

The minister, Rafidah Aziz, Malaysia's Minister for Trade and Industry, declared somewhat imperiously
that she didn't care what I said because I am a foreigner and I probably don't know much about Malaysia
anyway.

Rafidah knows her trade brief like few others. Her knowledge of the complex rules of the international
trading system, with its many trade barriers, is remarkable. In meetings with other trade ministers, she
rarely needs assistance from minders. Hard working and tenacious, I once thought she might make a
reasonable prime minister.

But her technical abilities are marred by her mishandling of other issues, most recently her ministry's
allocation of much coveted car import permits. Most went to a handful of well-connected businessmen,
including her own relatives.

The issue exploded in Malaysia late last year and she was lucky to keep her job.

And then there are the corruption allegations. In 1995, in a report to the attorney-general, the public
prosecutor said there was a prima facie basis for Rafidah's arrest and prosecution on five counts of
corruption.

An opposition activist later acquired official documents that appeared to confirm this. He was jailed for
two years under the Official Secrets Act simply for possessing them. Rafidah, on the other hand, was not
even charged.

Rafidah added to her remarks about my column that no Malaysian should say such things. It's little
wonder that she doesn't welcome scrutiny from her own people. But then the idea that Malaysians
cannot comment publicly about how their country is run but a non-Malaysian can, is disgraceful.

Perhaps Rafidah needs to be reminded who pays her salary.

And as if to underscore my points about waste, on the day that my column was published, an assistant
minister told the Malaysian Parliament that Malaysia's first astronaut to be sent into space next year
aboard a Russian space mission will be tasked to play batu seremban, a traditional Malay children's
game played with pebbles, will do some batik painting and will make teh tarik, a type of Malaysian milky
tea, all to see how these things can be done without gravity.

The day before, the Government announced that a new RM400 million ($A142 million) palace will be
built for Malaysia's king, a position that is almost entirely ceremonial.

And the week before a groundbreaking ceremony was held for a second bridge between Penang and
the Malaysian peninsular costing RM3 billion, a bridge that many consider unnecessary.

Where would the money be better spent?

Education is the obvious answer. But not on school buildings, for it matters less in what children are
educated than how. And how children are educated in Malaysia is a national disaster.

Learning is largely by rote. In an email to me last week, one Malaysian recalled her schooling as being in
a system “all about spoon-feeding, memory work and regurgitation. Students are not encouraged to
think for themselves and they become adults who swallow everything they're told.”

Even the existing system fails many. It has just emerged that in Sabah state, only 46 per cent of the
students who had sat the UPSR — the exam that students sit before going to secondary school — had
passed. One small school actually had a 100 per cent failure rate.

But does the Malaysian Government want creative, critical thinkers? Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi said
to the ruling party's recent general assembly Malaysia needed to make students creative. But that
means they must be questioning and thus critical; what hope is there of that when one of Abdullah's own
ministers tells Malaysians that they cannot say the things that I can and hundreds of them write to me to
complain because they don't feel that they can complain to their own Government?

Malaysia needs to do something. Its oil will run out soon and it has lost much of its appeal to foreign
investors — recent UN figures show that from 2004 to 2005, foreign investment in Malaysia fell by 14 per
cent, when the world economy was enjoying one of its longest periods of growth. One might wonder what
the Trade and Industry Minister has actually been doing.

But, while politicians from the ruling party preach about Malay nationalism, there are at least some who
quietly go about the business of trying to secure the country's future. Not all of them are Chinese.

Two weeks ago, Malaysia's MMC Corporation, together with a local partner, won a $US30 billion
infrastructure deal in Saudi Arabia. That's a huge undertaking for any company, let alone a Malaysian
one, and just as well too — someone has to pay the bills.

政府说的话一定是对,要不然就是反政府。政府随时都能用内安法令来对付反政府人士。还是乖乖的听政府的话。
