- 针对2亿5000万拨款 张健仁再抛5疑问
| Posted: 01 Dec 2016 05:51 PM PST  民主行动党将于12月3日（星期六）下午2时至4时在BDC 的 C Three Food Corner 举办一场《火箭与民交流会》，届时行动党的领袖以及实淡宾区国会议员陈国彬将会前往该处接收投诉，注册选民登记以及向人民汇报刚刚结束的州议会以及国会的事宜。 古晋区国会议员张健仁特别助理俞利文表示，当天行动党砂拉越主席张健仁也将会在交流会上向人民汇报他被议长禁足州议会的来龙去脉。哥打圣淘沙区州议员张健仁是由于在州议会召开的第一天向首席部长追问小型乡村发展金当中的2亿5千万不翼而飞一事而遭到砂州议长指示第二财政部长黄顺舸动议禁足。 俞利文说，人民有权力知道政府的发展动向，也有权力知道政府所拨款的钱到底去了哪里；而人民是透过他们所委托的代议士进入州议会以监督以及确保政府所批出的拨款不会被干捞。倘若由人民一人一票所选出来的代议士在神圣的议会殿堂就连最基本的知情权都没有的话，那么人民委托的代议士的职责是什么？ We will be having a Dialogue Session with DAP tomorrow at BDC. (3/12/2016) YB Chong Chieng Jen and YB Julian Tan will be present to engage the public as well as discuss on updates in the recently concluded Parliament Session as well as the State Assembly. | ||
| ‘Wong’s answer on ‘missing MRP fund’ raises more questions than answers’ Posted: 01 Dec 2016 05:48 PM PST
KUCHING: Second Finance Minister Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh's answer on the 'missing RM250 million MRP (Minor Rural Project) Fund' has raised more questions than answer on the subject, says Kota Sentosa assemblyman Chong Chieng Jen. Chong, who is state DAP chairman, quoted Wong as saying during his ministerial winding-up speech at the recently concluded State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting in respect of the approved RM905.9 million MRP Fund allocation, "at the closing of 2015 account, an amount of RM572.8 million was spent while the un-utilised allocation of RM333.1 million has, in fact, remained intact in the Consolidated Fund". "From this one answer from Wong Soon Koh, there are five more questions for him to answer. His answer is in direct contradiction with the Chief Minister and Finance Minister I's (Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem) answer on the approved allocation for MRP fund in year 2015. "The full text of the Chief Minister's answer given in October, 2016 is as follows: 'For the information of Ahli Yang Berhormat for Kota Sentosa, the total allocation approved for Minor Rural Projects in 2015 was RM655.9 million to implement 11,878 projects in the State. Of these projects, 11,465 have been completed. The remaining 413 are still under various stages of implementation and scheduled for completion in 2016.' "From Wong Soon Koh's answer, he confirms that the total approved allocation for MRP fund in 2015 is RM905.9 million. Why is there such a discrepancy in the 'approved allocation for MRP fund' in the sum of RM250 million between the answers given by the Finance Minister II (Wong Soon Koh) and Finance Minister I (Chief Minister)? Was Adenan trying to hide something?" Chong questioned during a press conference here yesterday. The Bandar Kuching MP said if Wong's answer were correct, then, out of the total approved RM905.9 million MRP fund in year 2015, a large sum of RM333.1 million remained un-utilised. "That is 36.8 per cent of the approved fund not utilised and it is highly inefficient rate of implementation of projects and budgetary allocations by the Sarawak State Government. Is this 36.8 per cent rate of un-utilised approved fund the general rate across the board for the State Government's budget? If it were the case, then for every announced allocation of RM1 billion, only RM632 million of the fund will be used by the end of the year. "Adenan/Wong Soon Koh must give the people of Sarawak a full account of the utilisation rates of all the approved allocation and explain their inefficiency." Chong pointed out that the RM905.9 million MRP fund for year 2015 was approved by the DUN in two stages, namely, on Nov 19, 2014, a sum of RM655.9 million was allocated under Budget 2015; and on April 24, 2015, an additional sum of RM250 million was approved under the first Supplementary Estimates of Development Expenditure 2015. "When the Government could not even fully utilised the initial RM655.9 million MRP fund approved in the Budget 2015, why did the State Government seek another RM250 million MRP fund allocation in the same year? Was it done for the purpose of image building and to trick the rural people into voting for BN during the Sarawak Elections?" Additionally, he questioned whether there were proposed MRP when Wong tabled the first Supplementary Estimates of Development Expenditure 2015 April 24, 2015 for an additional RM250 million MRP fund? "If yes, what are these proposed projects and why are these projects not carried out? If no, is it a practice of the State Government to simply seek DUN's approval of allocation without even having any idea what to do with the fund? "If such were the case, then it could be RM250 million today, tomorrow, it can be RM2.5 billion. Then, all those announcement of allocation will amount to nothing, because at the end of the day, it is still up to the Government whether to implement such projects or otherwise." Chong said the fact remained that in the answer given by Adenan, an amount of approved RM250 million MRP fund is missing, adding that when the actual approved MRP Fund in year 2015 was RM905.9 million, the answer provided by Adenan was that the total approved MRP fund was only RM655.9 million, a shortfall of RM250 million. "If Wong Soon Koh is so sure of his answer, why is he not confident enough to face my questioning in DUN but instead chose to suspend me from DUN and thereafter have a monologue in DUN by him alone on the matter?" He said in either of the answers from Adenan or Wong, it was thus revealed that the Government might have announced hundreds of millions of allocation during the presentation of Budgets, but at the end of the day, when it came to implementation, it fell far short of the announced allocation. "This is irresponsible and untruthful budgeting and it is just gimmicks to fool the people about how caring and generous the government is while in actual fact, the full amount of the approved allocation will not be used." Chong said in the case of the RM250 million MRP funds, in May, 2015, Adenan was boasting about using the money to uplift the livelihood of rural people, thus giving lots of excitement to rural folks. "Yet, it is only at end of 2016, after persistent probing by DAP elected representatives that we discovered, not a single sen of the RM250 million MRP fund approved by the DUN was spent on the rural folks. Had there not been the persisting supervision by DAP elected representatives, all Sarawakians will still be fooled by Adenan thinking that the additional RM250 million MRP fund has been used for the benefits of the rural folks." Meanwhile, Chong said DAP would be holding a 'Kopitiam Ceramah' at C3 Cafe in BDC from 2pm to 4pm, this Saturday (Dec 3). TheBorneoPost Friday 2/12/2016 | ||

同时身为砂行动党党主席的他是在今早于该党总部召开的新闻发布会上发言时﹐如是表示。 他说﹐拿督斯里黄顺舸日前在砂拉越立法议会中进行部门总结时说明﹐在2015年12月31日结帐时﹐是笔总数为9亿零590万令吉的小型乡区计划拨款﹐其实只用了5亿7280万令吉﹐而还没有用上的3亿3310万令吉拨款﹐则还是留在政府的统一户口中。 他表示﹐针对有关回应﹐他将另外提出5道问题﹐以期其疑惑能够从中获得解答。 差钜额意味效率差? "我的问题是;砂财政部长与砂第二财政部长的答案.为何出现2亿5000万令吉的差别?36.8%拨款未获使用,是否意味砂拉越政府的效率奇差?2亿5000万令吉拨款的增加,是否是为了要应付砂拉越大选?财政预算案是否没有计划就先拨款?" 在质问小型乡区计划拨款数额为何相差2亿5000万令吉时﹐他就透露﹐根据砂财政部长拿督巴丁宜丹斯里阿迪南沙登在今年10月份所给予的书面回答﹐砂拉越政府在2015年所批准的小型乡区计划拨款总数为6亿5590万令吉﹐而拿督斯里黄顺舸所给予的相关答案则显示﹐砂拉越政府在2015年所批准的小型乡区计划拨款总为9亿零590万令吉。 "财政部长和第二财政部长针对同一项拨款所给予的答案﹐为何却有不同的数额﹐并且还出现2亿5000万令吉的差距﹖" 他披露﹐若拿督斯里黄顺舸所给予的答案是正确的话﹐那则意味说﹐虽然砂拉越立法议会已予以批准﹐但当中36.8%的小型乡区计划拨款却未被使用。 "在执行工程方面﹐这是奇差的效率﹐这是否就是砂拉越政府在执行其他工程方面的效率指标﹖" 他也透露﹐2015年的小型乡区计划拨款乃是由砂拉越立法议会在两次会议中通过的﹐而其第一次及第二次被通过的拨款数额﹐就分别为6亿5590万令吉﹐以及2亿5000万令吉。 另行拨款为了大选﹖ "在原来通过的6亿5590万令吉都还不能用完的情况下﹐为何还要寻求砂拉越立法议会另行批准一笔多达2亿5000万令吉的小型乡区计划拨款﹖难道有关拨款是为了要应付砂拉越大选﹖" 他还说明﹐先有工程计划﹐再寻求砂拉越立法议会拨款﹐乃是正常的政府拨款程序﹐但在寻求砂拉越立法议会再批准2亿5000万令吉小型乡区计划拨款时﹐砂拉越政府又是否已有计划要落实哪一些乡区工程﹖ 他还置疑﹐如果真的对自身所给予的理由有信心的话﹐那为何相关部长不选择与他当面对质﹐反而选择将他逐出砂拉越立法议会后才一个人在议会内发言﹖ 转载自诗华日报 |
