| Dr. Boo Mencabar Tan Sri Muhyiddin Berbahas Berkenaan Isu ASJ dan Dana Johor Posted: 13 Jul 2012 11:17 PM PDT Ucapan Dr Boo Cheng Hau, Pengerusi DAP Negeri dan Ketua Pembangkang Dewan Negeri Johor, semasa Konsert Malam Ubah sempena pelancaran lagu PRU 13 DAP, anjuran Pemuda DAP Johor di Cathay 88 Restaurant, Taman Molek, Johor Bahru pada 13 July 2012. Saya ingin menyokong seruan PKR baru-baru ini bagi Pakatan Rakyat berdebat dengan UMNO terhadap isu-isu komuniti kaum India selain daripada MIC kerana UMNO dikatakan penyebab masalah-masalah komuniti berkenaan. Saya percaya bahawa kita tidak sepatutnya mempraktikkan " tribalisme" di mana UMNO mewakili Meleyu, MIC India dan MCA Cina semata-mata. Negara kita tidak akan mencapai perpaduan sejati jika parti-parti politik masih ditubuhkan berasakan kaum masing-masing. Oleh itu, saya mencadangkan debat di antara DAP Johor dan UMNO Johor supaya UMNO juga dapat membuktikan ianya bukan suatu parti untuk Melayu semata-mata bahkan UMNO berkebolehanan memperbahaskan isu-isu komuniti etnik lain. DAP Johor sentiasa bersedia berbahas berkenaan masalah dan inspirasi mana-mana lapisan masyarakat di Negara ini sebab DAP berazam mewakili semua warga dan lapisan masyarakat Malaysia. Saya percaya debat yang dicadangkan di antara UMNO dan DAP Johor terhadap permasalahan komuniti India Johor akan memberikan pletform yang sesuai untuk dua-dua parti DAP dan UMNO untuk membuktikan mereka mewakili semua rakyat Malaysia. Saya juga ingin memberikan maklum balas terhadap kempen oleh pihak tertentu bahawa saya adalah "rasis" dan "tidak ingin membantu masyarakat India di Negeri Johor". UMNO dan BN sebagai keraajn kini adalah punca permasalahan sisio-ekonomi komuniti India di Negeri Johor. Sebenarnya saya dimaklumkan sesetengah ahli politik adalah dalng belakang skandal ubah syarat tapak SJK(T) Kangkar Pulai kepada tapak stesyen minyak sebelum ini. Saya tidak meminta sebarang balas budi daripada mana-mana pihak khasnya komuniti India setempat bahkan pendidikan dan pembelajaran bahasa ibunda mereka adalah hak asisi mereka terjamin di bawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Saya cuma menjalankan tugasan sebagai seorang wakil rakyat untuk semua warga Malaysia bila saya membawa isu-isu permasalahn rakyat dalam Dewan Negeri. Di sebaliknya, fakta sebenarnya adalah tapak SJK(T) Kangkar Pulai diubah syarat semula dari tapak stesyen minyak kepada tapak sekolah selepas saya membangkitkan isu berkenaan dalam persidangan Dewan Negeri Johor. Oleh itu, adalah lebih sesuai untuk saya berbahas dengan bekas Menteri Besar Johor dan Menteri Pelajaran Malaysia Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin terhadap masa depan komuniti etnik minoriti India Negeri Johor. Malahan saya ingin memperbahaskan sama ada pinjaman RM 600 juta daripada kerajaan persekutuan semasa beliau menjawat Menteri Besar Johor sehingga 1995 dapat dibelanja secara lebih berhemah untuik memajukan bekalan air di Negeri Johor. Pinjaman berkenaan telah menelan lebih kurang separuh hutang awam kerajaan Negeri Johor sejumlah RM 1.3 bilion pada tahun 2010. Pada waktu ini, kerajaan Johor terpaksa menjual aset SAJ Holdings Berhad kepada Pengurusan Aset Air Berhad, anak syarikat Kementerian Kewangan, untuk menjelaskan hutang awam Kerajaan Negeri. Saya mengalu-alukan Tan Sri Muhyiddin untuk berbahas berkenaan topik sama ada kewangan Negeri Johor dapat diuruskan dengan lebih baik khasnya syarikat berkaitan kerajaan negeri termasuk Johor Corp, dan pembubaran Dana Johor dan Amanah Saham Johor.  |
| Dr. Boo Challenges Tan Sri Muhyiddin to Debate on Indian Plights Posted: 13 Jul 2012 11:14 PM PDT Speech by Dr Boo Cheng Hau, DAP Johor State Chairman and State Opposition Leader at Ubah Night Concert, launching of DAP 13th General Elections National Theme Song "Tomorrow will be better" at Cathay 88 Restaurant, Taman Molek, Johor Bahru on 13 July 2012, to invite DPM and Former Johor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasson to debate on Johor Indian Communtiy problems to help UMNO getting rid of the Malay-only political party. I would like to laud the PKR's recent call to debate with UMNO on Indian Community's issues than MIC as it is the UMNO which was said to have created the community's deprived state of socioeconomic development. I deeply believe that there should not be any perception of "tribalism" where UMNO represents Malays, MIC Indians and MCA Chinese. If political parties are still based on racial lines, there will be no genuine national unity. In order to prove that UMNO is not a Malay-only party and able to discuss about the plights of Johor Indian community, I am willing to debate with Johor UMNO leaders about Johor Indian Community problems especially former Johor Menteri Besar tan Sri Muhyiddin.. DAP Johor has always been ready to debate about plights of any communities and ethnic groups as it aims to represent all Malaysians. The proposed debate for between Johor DAP and Johor UMNO on particularly about Johor Indian Community plights will be a good opportunity for UMNO to show that it represents not only Malays but also other ethnic communities. I would like to refute an orchestrated smear campaign against me especially as "racist" and "not helping the Indian community in Johor". In my limited capacity as Skudai State Assemblyman, I have helped Indian Malaysians to appeal for citizenship, getting welfare assistance, making my personal donations to Tamil schools and Hindu Temples within my limitations and capacity. UMNO and BN are the main cause of Indian community's deprived socio-economic state in Johor. In fact, UMNO politicians were behind the scam of converting the SJK(T) Kangkar Pulai Tamil school site to a petrol station previously. I do not ask for any gratitude from the Indian community when I carried out the duty as an state assemblyman for all fellow Johoreans and Malaysians. Indian Malaysioans' Schooling and education should not be politicised as this is their constitutional rights. Nonetheless, the fact was that I brought up the issue that SJKT Kangkar Pulai school land was secretly converted to a petrol station at Johor State Assembly before it was re-converted back for the construction of SJK(T) Kangkar Pulai which is now already in place. Therefore, I would like to propose to debate with Former Johor Menteri Besar and present Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on the future of Johor Indian Community as a ethnic minority in Johor. Moverover, I would like to invite Tan Sri Muhyiddin to debate as to how some RM 600 million loan from the Federal Government could have been better spent to upgrade Johor's water supply when he was the Johor Menteri Besar until 1995. The federal loan made up almost one half of Johor State Government's RM 1.3 billion total debt as in 2010. Currently, Johor State Government was forced to sell its SAJ Holdings Berhad's assets to Pengurusan Aset Air Berhad, a GLC under the Ministry of Finance, in order to pay off its debt to the Federal Government. Therefore, Tan Sri Muhyidddin is welcome to debate with me as to whether Johor Government finances could have been better managed including Johor Corp, and the dissolved Amanah Saham Johor and Dana Johor.  |
