Reiterates call for minimum wage

Message by MCA President Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek in conjunction with Labour Day

This Labour Day, MCA pays tribute to all workers who in one way or another have contributed towards the nation’s economic growth.

At the same time, we reiterate our call for the establishment of a Minimum Wage Council which would look into gradual implementation of minimum wages according to industries. Minimum wages will ensure that all Malaysians will enjoy a decent standard of living, thus enabling Malaysians to budget steadily and regularly for the family’s monthly expenditure.

Implementation of a minimum wage policy revolves around its effect on employment, productivity, inflation and the country’s competitiveness. It will galvanise changes in the economic model.

The concerns that deployment of minimum wage would make Malaysia a more costly place to do business thereby resulting in a drop in foreign investment is only valid if a blanket country-wide minimum wage is enforced irrespective of sector. However, this concern can be overcome if minimum wage is introduced in high growth sector especially those heavily dependent on foreign workers. This should be accompanied by the government providing incentive like grants or loans to encourage industries to invest, to embark on capital expenditure and training to increase productivity.

Minimum wage should not only be viewed as being aimed at improving the standard of living of workers but also as the driver of productivity and innovation. With a reasonable income, productivity will increase as workers will have a better attitude towards work as their income enables them to sustain their living. A change in attitude by the workers coupled with training and technological investment, will help Malaysia gradually wean off its addiction to cheap and low skilled foreign labour to drive its economy.

To cite an example, the oil palm industry faces shortage of workers which results in employers relying on foreign labour. However, if more research and development are intensified to come out with efficient mechanical harvesters for the industry, this will ensure higher outputs and reduction of foreign labour.Some trial results have shown that with mechanization using the motorized harvesting pole, the workforce for harvesting could be reduced by half, land-to-labour ratio could be doubled, productivity tripled and the harvesting cost cut by 75%. However there is reluctance in heavily investing in R&D to improve and make the machine afforadable as it will be easier to engage foreign workers.

The unemployment rate of Malaysians will be lowered as minimum wage will attract the locals to participate in the labour market and with the reduction of foreign workers it will help reduce the financial remittance overseas by foreign workers that has increased to RM18 billion.

While the private sector may see diminished profits initially when minimum wage is implemented, through innovation and higher productivity, there will be more returns in the long run. It is MCA’s hope that the government will seriously look into setting up a Minimum Wage Council for the progress of the nation and its people.

Press Statement on remarks made by Perkasa chief

I wish to condemn in the strongest terms the statement by Perkasa chief YB Dato’ Ibrahim Ali for asking the government to delay the development allocations to the Chinese community.

I wish to stress that government money belongs to the people. It should be used for the local community for local development. It should not in any way be used to punish the voters.

I have discussed the matter with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak who has given an assurance that Barisan Nasional will fulfill its pledges of development to the voters of Hulu Selangor. Barisan Nasional does not renegade on its promises.

It is the existence of organisations like Perkasa that the MCA finds it difficult in getting the Chinese to support the BN.

Politicians should also be reminded not to utter remarks, especially those that touch on the fabric of culture, religion and race that can hurt other communities. This will run contrary to the 1Malaysia agenda as propagated by our Prime Minister.

Malaysia will not be able to progress if we continue to have people like Ibrahim Ali who professes to champion along racial lines with disregard to the sensitivity of other communities in the country.

Seminar on Government Transformation Programme

This morning MCA has successfully organized a seminar on Government Transformation Programme (GTP). About 200 representatives from the various Chinese Guilds & Associations and MCA Leaders attended the face to face interaction with Y.B. Datuk Seri Idris Jala, Minister in the Prime Minister Department. Below is my speech at the seminar:

Thank you Y.B. Datuk Seri Idris Jala for your presence.

It is indeed a great honour that we have with us today the “Guru” himself Datuk Seri Idris Jala who will give us a better insight to the much talked about Government Transformation Programme (GTP).

GTP is one of the four (4) Pillars to drive change. The objective of GTP is two-folds – first, to transform the Government to be more effective in its delivery of services and accountable for outcomes that matter most to the rakyat; and second, to move Malaysia forward to become an advanced, united, and just society with high standards of living for all. This is in line with the national mission of achieving Vision 2020 - for Malaysia to become a fully developed nation.

The 4 Pillars are:-

• 1st Pillar: 1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now
• 2nd Pillar: GTP
• 3rd Pillar: New Economic Model
• 4th Pillar: 10th Malaysia Plan

It also makes the Government more accountable for the outcomes of policies that mattered most to the rakyat.

We are all here because we want t o know about the transformation plan of the government. To be precise we want to know what is in store for the Malaysian rakyat irrespective of race or creed.

The political landscape is different now and the people are more demanding and are crying out for transparency, fairness and for being able to compete on a level playing ground.

We have to change to suit changing times and cope with situations to stay relevant. There is no room for those who are still in denial mode.

The government must bear in mind that when we transform or initiate changes, it should create an impact to the lives of the people which we represent.

It should not be paying mere lip service and the GTP should not be another public relations exercise of the government to look good.

As the Prime Minister has rightly pointed out at the launch of the GTP Roadmap in January that it is the people who will decide via the ballot box if the GTP does not achieve its objectives and that the Government would be held accountable for its promises.

With those words coming from the Prime Minister himself, I am sure that the government has no choice but to ensure the success of the programme.

You may be wondering what the GTP roadmap is all about. Well this is why we have our friend Idris Jala here. But basically the roadmap describes the programme in detail and covers the approach taken in the transformation journey and explains how the GTP is guided by the principles of 1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now.

It is also outlines the Government’s approach to building 1Malaysia and its commitment to the six National Key Result Areas (NKRAs).

And just last month, the New Economic Model which aims to transform the country into a high-income nation was unveiled.

Drawn up by group of experts, NEM will among others, recommend action on reducing subsidies, providing a wider safety net to cover more people, improving the skills of the locals, addressing the question of affirmative action and redefining the poor and seeking ways to help them.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in unveiling the thrust of NEM had said that the framework will review various economic policies to suit the new economic reality including affirmative action to ensure fairer and more equitable distribution of wealth based on needs and merits.

On this note, it is MCA’s fervent hope that the Government will walk the talk and ensure the implementation of economic and social-economic policies are implemented fairly and justly for the sake of all Malaysians.

There must be political courage and not political patronage when policies are carried out and there should not be any flip flop decisions or policies which would not go down well with the people as well as foreign investors.

There must be consistency and well thought out policy formation which is transparent.

On 1Malaysia, it is based on the concept of fairness to all. This means no group should be marginalized and support and opportunities should be provided on the basis of need and merit.

It should be clearly spelt out how does the ordinary man in the street will benefit from these flurry of initiatives. How does it translate to a better lifestyle and livelihood of those in the rural areas and how will those with lower household incomes improve their overall quality of life?

While the government is engaging the people in line with its transparent approach in governing the country, the various political parties should also help give their input to the transformation programme.

MCA which has an enormous outreach with its 1 million strong membership base could well make use of its ready resources by getting feedback from the people with regards to the transformation programme.

Leaders should gather feedback, reaction and suggestion from the Rakyat. In doing so, they can feel the pulse of the nation and carry back the right messages from the people to the government.

Likewise, Chinese guilds and associations, business leaders and non-government organizations should also provide inputs so that a more well represented programme can be churned out.

There is no time to waste now. Malaysia cannot afford to lost its way or lost out. Countries such as South Korea had taken off after initiating reforms and making their economies competitive.

We don’t have time to waste on divisive issues. We will be left behind if we still remain the realm of yesterday of being a divisive and divided nation.

On this note, the government must bear in mind that in must harness the best brains for the country and can ill afford the threat of an exodus of brain drain if its policies gave rise to resentment and anger.

It is timely that we review and relook on the incentives to attract the best brains back to our country to propel the nation toward the goals of its economic initiatives.

A country may have the right geographical advantage, the best resources but without the best talents to carry out its initiatives, it cannot propel itself to join the ranks of the high-income nation.

In its push for reforms, one of the key initiatives should be affirmative action based on need and not ethnicity. With such political will in mind, a major policy shift can be realized and this by itself could arrest the brain drain and attract investments in higher value activities. Any initiatives undertaken by the government should from now on be in line with the consultative approach of engaging with more stakeholders.
It should be guideline towards a strong foundation of truly 1Malaysia in the making and not just a political jargon so to speak.

A journey of hundred miles starts with the first step and Malaysians have taken many more steps than this to make what Malaysia is today. So let us now open our ears and allow Idris Jala to take us on a journey to enlighten us on this well thought out ambitious plan which comes under the purview of the Prime Minister’s Department.

It is just the beginning of a brighter Malaysia. The journey has just begun.

Chua backs youth leader in Perkasa tiff

KUALA LUMPUR, April 4 — Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek has come out in defence of an MCA Youth leader’s criticism of Perkasa and refused to be pressured into sacking the latter.

The party president pointed out to The Malaysian Insider this afternoon that, if anything, the MCA had its own method of dealing with disciplinary problems involving its members and would follow the due process when it was deemed fit.

He also defended Loh Chew June, the Youth wing’s deputy secretary-general, and said that “on the surface”, the leader had not committed any wrong.

“You cannot simply call on a party to sack its member. We, in MCA, have our own disciplinary committee to investigate these matters,” he said.

Dr Chua added that Loh had a right to speak his mind on whatever topic, as long as he did not breach the party’s code of conduct.

“However, on the surface, I do not think he has breached any code of conduct,” he pointed out.

Loh, along with Penang Gerakan chief Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan, has been at loggerheads with Malay rights group Perkasa when the duo criticised the organisation, calling it “racist”.

Perkasa Youth chief Arman Azha Abu Hanifah took offence to the criticism and called on both Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders to apologise within 48-hours from Friday or he would pressure Gerakan and MCA leaders to sack them.

Arman’s demand has fallen on deaf ears, however, with both Loh and Teng refusing to succumb to the threat, and today continued to criticise Perkasa, claiming it was anti-1 Malaysia.

Loh also went further to tell Perkasa to apologise to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, for failing to adhere to the premier’s ideals of 1 Malaysia.

Taking note of this, Arman told The Malaysian Insider today that he would hold another press conference tomorrow and proceed with his plan to “exert pressure” on MCA and Gerakan to expel the two party leaders.

Meanwhile, Dr Chua said the MCA would soon hold a press conference and issue its views on Perkasa, whose formation has caused a ripple in the political scene in Malaysia.

Seen by some to be the conscience of Umno, with its main struggle centred on protecting the rights of Malays, Perkasa has also been deemed to be the thorn in Najib’s increasingly liberal administration.

The verbal sparring between Loh, Teng and Perkasa gave indications that Najib would likely face strong opposition from the non-Malay parties in the BN if he should side with the Malay rights group entirely.

“We will give our statement soon on what we feel about Perkasa. For now, as far as the MCA is concerned, any party member can speak their mind as long as, like I said, they stick to the party rules,” said Dr Chua, before declining to say if the MCA was agreeable to Perkasa’s ideologies.

Press statement: National Economic Model

MCA welcomes the New Economic Model (NEM) announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to achieve high-income status of USD 15,000 by year 2020.

It is heartening to note that the Government is committed in making the NEM all- inclusive and one that embraces all races in the country. It also recognises that there should be more transparency in Government policies and the private sector remains the engine of growth.

There will also be less direct state participation in the economy.

The MCA fully agrees that price control and subsidy have distorted the market of goods and services, rendering Malaysia less competitive.

Quality education and skill enhancement for Malaysians is an important component for us to add value to the various sectors of our economy. The Government needs to address the long -standing issue of ensuring fair and easy access to quality education. The skill enhancement programmes needs to be enhanced as well.

The Government also needs to re-look at the incentives and ensure that training programmes are market oriented.

There is a need to review the implementation of the NEP to ensure that the twin objective of NEP will not be derailed. Hence, MCA is delighted to note the renewed affirmative action will be merit and need based, transparent and market friendly.

Race should not be the main criteria in implementing economic and social-economic policies.

With that, only the government is seen to walk the talk of 1Malaysia. The Government must show its political courage and wisdom in addressing the weaknesses of affirmative policies and there should be no politics of patronage and tolerance for rent-seeker.

We need to develop new sources of revenue. We have a good start in green technology and it is time that we tap into high value green industries and services. We can never hope to be a world financial centre but we have great potential to be a hub of integrated Islamic financial services.

The NEM has not adequately addressed the issue of Malaysia’s over-dependence on foreign workers. The Government needs to draw up a master plan on manpower requirement for the next 10 years. We must upgrade our workers to be highly and multi-skilled labour or else it will not be easy to overcome our dependence on cheap unskilled foreign labour.

The Government must also seriously look into the implementation of the minimum wage in some of the sectors with growth potential but dependent on foreign workers. Until then, we will face an exodus of skilled Malaysian workers to foreign countries.

The brain gain policy has not been successful because it is more on the very minimal monetary gain for the individual involved. We have to attract not only the individual but also his family. Hence, living environment, security, access to quality education, potential to develop their entrepreneurial skills and transparent Government policies are also important consideration.

The NEM has generated hope and excitement. Public and private cooperation is vital. The MCA believes that improving the efficiency and the quality of public delivery system is crucial. However, the MCA has no doubt about the political will of the Government to achieve the goals of the NEM.

328 MCA Election: Chua's the No. 1

'I am for collective leadership'

Kuala Lumpur: Newly elected MCA President Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek will practice collective leadership and is confident of the party moving forward as a team.

"We will listen to the voice of the grassroots. I am convinced we can move forward as a team with support from all parties," he told at a press conference after he was declared the new party president.

He thanked central delegates for giving him and the other new members in the central committee the mandate to carry out their responsibilities.

Dr Chua also recorded the party's appreciation to former presidents Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting and Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.

"They are rich in experience. Both of them can teach and guide us as we lead the party,"he said, adding that the new leaders would listen to and cooperate with the two to make the party stronger.

Press statement: No for THE STAR Chairmanship

（吉隆坡11日讯）马华署理总会长拿督斯里蔡细历医生今日声明，他不会接受受委为《星报》集团新任主席。

他今日发文告证实受党推荐出任《星报》主席一职的消息。

蔡细历坦承，党领导层确实有讨论，也向他提出推荐事宜，惟他将拒绝接受此献议。

他坚认，自己目前仍然是一名活跃的政治人物，而且兼任马华和国阵高职，因此不该担任媒体机构的主席或要职。

“我希望《星报》能继续壮大 。为了顾全马华、《星报》股东及读者的最大利益，我决定不接受有关推荐。”

蔡细历藉此机会感谢党领导层对他的信任和推荐。


MCA Deputy President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek today stated his decision not to accept the appointment as Star Group Chairman.

In a press statement, Chua confirmed the speculation sparked by two chinese news papers few days earlier.

“The party leadership discussed on that and I was recommended for the post. In view of the fact that I am still active politically, It is best I am not accepting offer. ”

Chua said, the decision was made based on the best interest of the Party, Star shareholders and readers.

He strongly feel that it is inappropriate for him to hold top position in a media company while he is still actively involve in politics.

“I want to see The Star grows from strength to strength and I would like take this opportunity to thank the leadership for it confident in me.”

Do not let our racial harmony be hijacked by a few

Racial harmony in this country is often very fragile. The use of the word “Allah” among non-muslim is enough to provoke the whole nation to be held to ransom by a small group of irresponsible people. In this unfortunate episode, we are happy to note that it is leaders from all political divides who are quick to react, to ensure that the insensible act of a few would not provoke religious and racial conflict. It goes to show that our leaders have the nation at heart. Leaders are willing to put their political differences for the greater good of the nation. We should not let the nation be hijacked by a small group of people who like to see the nation in fire.

I still believe that the setting up of an interfaith council is crucial. While we do not like sensitive issue to be resolved in a high profile manner, there is a necessity for leaders of the various religious faith and political leaders of all political affliations to sit down to resolve sensitive religious issues. Burying our head like the proverbial ostrich will let a small group of religion extremist run wild.

The interfaith council should also be set up at the state level. In state with the Sultan as a head of the religious council, the enactment of Muslim enactment and non Musilim enactment comes under the jurisdiction of the respective state. Hence, the state interfaith council have an important role to play. It should also serves as a platform for all religious leaders to discuss including places of worship of non Muslim . It cannot be denied that, often non Muslim faces a lot of problems in getting approval for new places of worship, for the renovation or extension of its existing places of worship. The district and the state security officials often are not helpful, and do not understand the needs of the non Muslim.

Recently, I led a group of 12 MCA wakil rakyat to meet up with the Mentri Besar of Johor. I must thank him for his understanding in granting approval in principle for the conversion of 12 pieces of land that is owned either by the private sector or government land for places of worship for the non Musllim. Often, intervention by the Mentri Besar is required in the various state in order to get approval for places of worship by the non Muslim. Hence, there is a need to have a system in place that is transparent and fair for the non Muslim when they apply for the conversion of land to become places of worship. I even suggested to the Mentri Besar that Johor should lead the way by setting up a state interfaith council, and he promised to look into this suggestion seriously.

Malaysian of all races and religious faith should pursued the middle path. We need to accept that we need each other for nation building. We are all the loser in this religious conflict if we allow a few with their narrow agenda to dictate the majority who are still love the nation.

大马人口老化需要扩展征税范围

蔡智勇提出七大实行消费税理由 From Malaysiakini.com

王德齐 | 1月19日 上午 11点50分

随着政府在去年年底提呈备受争议的消费税（GST）法案，马华拉美士国会议员蔡智勇昨日也针对这项新税制提出一份全面的研究报告，探讨实行消费税的利与弊，并提出数项建议来减缓其冲击。 也是马华消费税特别小组主任的蔡智勇，在这份报告中提出7大理由，来解释政府为什么需要实行消费税来取代现有的征税制度，包括所得税、销售税，以及服务税。 其中一项理由是，传统所得税制度只是牵涉15%工作人口，随着大马人口将逐渐老化，工作人口将会缩小。因此，我国需要改变税制，通过消费管道征税，来扩展征税人口。 消费税是依据消费数额而征税，消费越多就征税越多，相反传统的所得税制度，赚钱越多就征税越多。 消费税或引发一次过通膨 不过，这份研究报告也分析，推行消费税对个人和商业带来的冲击和问题，包括一次过通货膨胀、人民感到混淆、加重贫穷人民的负担，政府朝令夕改，以及附加收入会否获得善用。 蔡智勇更提出一系列对策，来改善政府实行消费税的方式。 《当今大马》将在第二篇报道中，详细报导这份报告所点出的冲击和问题，以及政府应该如何解决。 鼓励人们工作和企业发展 蔡智勇在报告中指出，除了需要实行消费税来创造替代收入来源，其他的可能理由包括： （一）大马目前的生育率是2.2，因此乐龄人口将会增加。预料2030年，超过60岁的人口将总人口12%，使现今比率的一倍。因此，现有15%缴税工作人口将会减少，并让更小撮人承担更大的负担。消费税是一个大范围的征税，根据消费把税务均分到更大批人口手上。 （二）消费税将维护人们工作的动力，并鼓励企业发展，因为它不是累进税（progressive tax），税率不会根据收入水平而增加，反而维持一样。 （三）消费税是出产和派发过程中征收，因此纳入了自行监督机制，将能够有效协助当局，并且加强逃税的困难。这将会减少少报税而造成的收入损失。 有效从黑市经济征收税务 （四）预料大马实行的消费税制度不会有层叠效应（cascading effect），因为征收的税务是依据产品的最终价值，而非根据产量，以及它所经过的运输管道。此外，产品需要缴付的消费税也会受到原料的消费税抵消，因此不会出现税上加税的问题。 （五）预料消费税将提供更稳定的收入，因为消费和收入相比，较小受到经济循环的影响。 （六）消费税将能有效从“黑市经济”征收税务，因为涉及人士依然会消费，并通过消费税来间接缴税。涉及人士会较喜欢购买征收消费税的奢侈品。 （七）政府将在2010年减少营运开销13%。这显示政府清楚，我国赤字因为刺激配套而增加。惠誉评级公司已经降低令吉的评级，一旦令吉贬值将可能引发进口通膨，国际货币基金认为有必要尽快实行消费税。 各国在反对下仍继续实行 政府是在2009年12月16日提呈消费税法案一读，并表明他们将征收4%的税率。至于一些必需品则不会征税，以避免引发通膨。 世界上目前共有143个国家已经实行消费税，只有三个东南亚国家尚未实现，包括大马、汶莱和缅甸。 蔡智勇也表示，尽管消费税受到反对，但是大多数国家还是因为数个理由而实行消费税，而其实行期限也有所不同，各国是依据本地需要来定制不同的模式。

成立跨宗教和种族理事会，各造领袖应冷静讨论

副首相丹斯里慕尤丁指需要成立跨宗教和种族理事会来探讨我国的宗教课题，包括最近发生的阿拉字眼事件。

我认同有关决定。我想，政府迫切需要成立一个跨宗教和种族理事会，以寻求永续性的方案解决由宗教和种族课题所引起的争议。

该理事会成员应该全面概括朝野政党及各宗教组织的领袖，因为唯有通过各造开诚交流和讨论，才能达致共识，合力解决问题。

除此以外，上述理事会也应该在各州成立，协调中央和州县的敏感课题。这是因为除了沙巴和砂勞越，宗教课题是由各州州统治者管辖，而各州的宗教政策或各有异。

我认为，州跨宗教理事会也应该讨论非回教徒的膜拜场所课题，因为非回教徒要进行修建膜拜场所时，往往面对许多限制和问题。

众所周知，在多元种族和宗教的大马，宗教绝对是一项敏感的课题。我们虽不鼓励人民公开辩论，但不代表国家领袖不能坐下冷静讨论。

我国过去所发生的种种宗教和种族相关课题，足以显示我国社会对各宗教的理解和有待加强。“阿拉”事件若处理不当，对国民团结与和谐负面影响深远，到时所有人都是输家。

我们也了解，人民要生活在一个和平及安稳的国家，人民更不希望阿拉字眼事件让种族关系趋紧。因此，各政党和宗教领袖应该坐下，冷静对话并寻策化解纷争。

文告：朝野领袖须停止互相指责

（吉隆坡8日讯）由于攻击教堂暴力事件持续升温，国阵总协调拿督斯里蔡细历医生吁请各造特别是朝野政党领袖需冷静发言，以免间接加深人民不满和不安的情绪。

他说，纵火和破坏教堂事件已引起共愤，在这紧张的时刻，各造发言人特别是朝野的政党领袖，必须冷静和停止互相指责。否则，事情将演变成政治课题。

他说，更重要的是，各领袖应携手制止事件进一步恶化，及揪出滋事者处之严法。

蔡细历也是马华署理总会长。他今天陪同副首相丹斯里慕尤丁巡视Bukit Tangga华小后，发表文告指出，马华非常关注这项课题，也严厉谴责这些极端的滋事份子。

他说，马华副总会长拿督斯里黄燕燕及宗教局主任拿督斯里陈财和今早到事发的教堂视察后，向总会长和他建议借出三春礼堂供教友祈祷。

蔡细历强调，“人民可以表达不满，但绝不被容许通过暴力行为宣泄不满，甚至伤害他人。”

他认为，阿拉字眼的争议是一项敏感的宗教课题 ，希望各造能冷静等待法庭的判决。

文告:周五晤副首相解决培智华小问题

（吉隆坡6日讯）马华署理总会长拿督斯里蔡细历医生将在本周五会晤副首相兼教育部长丹斯里慕尤丁，以解决培智华小延误搬迁和开课的问题。

他指出，总会长拿督斯里翁诗杰和他本人，在上个月杪获知有关问题后，已第一时间致电教长。当时已赴往麦加朝圣的慕尤丁，表示回国后将马上处理。

他说，培智华小延误入校是由于技术上出现问题。他将在本周五会见副首相，讨论和解决有关问题。
