Will The Prime Minister Apologise Over The Flip-Flop Whether He Is Going To Abolish Bumi Quotas Or Ask The Press To Correct Their False Reporting?

Will the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak apologise over the flip-flop whether he is going to abolish bumi quotas or ask the press to correct their false reporting? The Prime Minister was reported by Malaysiakini on 27 September and in Bernama on 28 September 2011 that that there was a need to “run or go away” from quotas for Bumiputeras.

However on 30.9.2011 Friday, Najib insisted that he absolutely did not say that bumi quotas will be abolished. Since Bernama had reported on the need to "run or go away" from bumi quotas, will action then be taken against Bernama or any other BN-controlled paper for false reporting? As it is hard to imagine a government news department like Bernama daring to misquote or misrepresent what the Prime Minister said, will the Prime Minister be compelled to apologise for saying the wrong thing?

Failure to fully and comprehensively implement open tenders has led to scepticism amongst many investors of the seriousness of Najib in implementing the New Economic Model. Open tenders can lead not only to record budget surpluses by cutting down costs but also help to cut down corruption. Penang’s adoption of an open tender system has led to record budget surpluses, the top investment destination in Malaysia for 2010 and praise from Transparency International.

The Malaysian economy can do even better especially when at least RM 28 billion have been lost annually from waste and corruption. In fact the Global Financial Integrity Report prepared by World Bank economists gave an even more horrifying estimate of RM888 billion of “illicit money”(black or corruption money) secretly taken out of the country over a 9 year period.

民主行动党秘书长林冠英于2011年10月1日在吉隆坡发表声明:

首相会不会针对自己在废除土著固打一事上出尔反尔而道歉?他会不会叫媒体纠正他们的虚假报道?

首相会不会针对自己在废除土著固打一事上出尔反尔而道歉?他会不会叫媒体纠正他们虚假的报道?《当今大马》和《马新社》分别在2011年9月27日及28日报道,首相指土著固打制最终应该被废除。

但是,到了2011年9月30日,纳吉坚持他完全没有发表过"土著固打制应该被废除"的言论。既然马新社报道过"土著固打应该被废除",那么马新社及其它国阵控制的媒体是否会因虚假报道而被对付?让人很难想像,像马新社这样的政府新闻机关也胆敢错误引述或呈现首相的谈话,那么首相会不会因讲错话而被迫道歉?

由于纳吉没有全面地推行公开招标,已经让很多投资者怀疑纳吉是不是有诚意要推行新经济模式。公开招标不只可以节省成本从而减低预算,也可以对付贪污。槟城因推行公开招标而取得预算盈余、在2010年成为获得最多投资额的州属,也获国际透明组织赞扬。

马来西亚每年因浪费和贪污而损失280亿令吉,马来西亚的经济表现其实可以更好。事实上,世界银行经济学家所发表的全球金融诚信报告更让人吃惊,它说,过去9年,我国约有8880亿令吉的非法资金秘密外流。
