| Happy 48th Malaysia Day! (en/cn) Posted: 16 Sep 2011 12:12 AM PDT Let Us Ensure That Not A Single State Nor Citizen Is Left Behind! 48 years ago Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore took the bold step to form Malaysia. Singapore subsequently left 2 years later in 1965 but both Sabah and Sarawak remained. Unfortunately all the economic and social indicators show that Sabah and Sarawak continue to be left behind whilst Singapore has soared to surpass Malaysia in 2010 as the 3rd largest economy in ASEAN after Indonesia and Thailand. Why did 7% continuous economic growth for more than 25 years leave behind not only oil-rich states like Sabah and Sarawak but also Terengganu? The "Growth Commission" Report (2008) by Economics Noble Laureate Michael Spence identified Malaysia as one of the 13 countries in the world that enjoyed sustained growth of 7% for more than 25 years based on 5 common characteristics:- The answer why Sabah, Sarawak or Terengganu is left behind is corruption in Peninsular Malaysia, endemic and entrenched in Sabah and Sarawak. Too much have been lost. The shocking revelations by the US-based financial watchdog Global Financial integrity of RM 888 billion illicit capital flight from Malaysia between 2000-2008 cost is shocking. This means that every Malaysian man, woman and child have lost RM 33,000 each over 9 years! South Korea's GDP per capita was one third of Malaysia in the early 60s, but is now 3 times that of Malaysia despite having a bigger population of 48 million people. South Korea succeeded because they successfully fought not only corruption but reconnected with both the economic and ethical values of hard work, openness, integrity and innovativeness. This is the desperate political battle for the economic soul of Malaysia that we can not lose. The time has come for Malaysians to choose carefully. Only a two-party system can ensure peace, harmony and that Malaysia’s rich natural resources benefit 27 million Malaysians. A two-party system requires a strong opposition which can not only deny BN its customary two-thirds majority but also able to change the government. For those who say that PR does not know how to govern, the 4 PR states of Penang, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan have proven our ability by beating the other 10 BN states by attracting RM25 billion in investments comprising 53% of Malaysia’s total investments of RM47.2 billion in 2010. For the first time in history, Penang is now the new champion of investments in Malaysia, coming out top in 2010 with RM 12.2 billion. Let us reject a crony government in favour of a people's government centered on 3Es of enabling the people with skills and education, empowering them with rights or opportunities and enriching the people by ensuring that the fruits of economic success can be shared. Let us therefore teach our children hope and build their confidence that they can be as good as they want to be and not be forever deprived or condemned to be inferior merely on account of the colour of their skin. Let us fight and protect each other based on freedom, justice and truth. Let us ensure that no single state or citizen is left behind. Then only can we lock our arms together and our heart beat as one for this beloved Malaysian nation that belongs to all whether black, brown, white or yellow. Happy 48th Malaysia Day! DAP Malaysia Day Message By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 16.9.2011 ——- Mandarin Translation —– 民主行动党秘书长兼巴眼区国会议员林冠英于2011年9月16日在吉隆坡发表马来西亚日献词： 让我们确保没有一个州属、没有一个公民被忽略！ 48年前，沙巴、砂拉越和新加坡踏出勇敢的一步，与马来亚共同成立马来西亚。两年之后（1965年）新加坡脱离马来西亚，沙巴和砂拉越则继续留下来。不幸的是，所有经济和社会指标都显示沙巴和砂劳越持续落后，新加坡甚至在2010年超越马来西亚，成为东盟国家当中第三大经济体，仅次印尼和泰国。 为什么连续25年的7%成长率，会让那些拥有石油的州属像沙巴、砂劳越甚至是登嘉楼被发展抛在后头？诺贝尔经济学奖得主斯宾塞（Michael Spence）的2008年成长委员会报告书指出，马来西亚是全世界其中13个连续25年享有每年7%经济成长率的国家之一，这些国家的5个共同特征如下： 1. 全面利用世界经济; 为什么沙巴、砂拉越和丁登嘉楼会落后，这是因为马来半岛的贪污已经在沙巴和砂拉越蔓延、生根。我们失去太多了。美国金融机构全球金融诚信（GFI）揭露，在2000年至2008年期间，马来西亚流失的非法资金高达8880亿令吉。这意味着，每一名马来西亚人，不分男女老少，每个人在这9年内失去了3万3000令吉。 韩国的国民生产总值在60年代只有马来西亚的三分之一，但是现在是马来西亚的3倍，尽管他们拥有约4800万人口，比我们多。韩国会成功，不只因为他们成功肃贪，也因为他们将经济与一些伦理价值如：勤勉、开通、廉正及创新联系起来。 我们正陷于一场为马来西亚经济灵魂而奋斗的政治战场，我们孤注一掷，无论如何绝不能失败。是时候马来西亚人小心地选择。唯有两线制可以确保我国的和平与和谐，并让我国2700万人都受惠于马来西亚丰富的天然资源。两线制需要强大的在野势力，这个股势力不仅仅要足以否决国阵三分二议席，也还必须能够改朝换代。 对于那些指民联不会做政府的人，我们已经通过槟城、雪兰莪、吉打和吉兰丹证明我们超越其它10个国阵州属，在2010年，这四个州属吸引了250亿令吉的投资额，占全马总投资额的472亿令吉的53%。这也是历史上，槟城所获投资额达122亿令吉，全马居冠。 让我们拒绝朋党政府，选择执行"三民任务"- 启迪民智、赋权予民及富国强民的政府。 让我们为自由、公义、真相而斗争，互相守护。让我们确保没有一个州属、没有一个公民被忽略。唯有这样，我们才能因这个由不同肤色人民所爱的马来西亚而团结起来。 祝马来西亚48岁生日快乐！ 林冠英 |
