Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Saya menjemput Yang Berhormat Jempol. Dato’ Haji Salim Sharif [Jempol]: Terima kasih Tuan Yang di-Pertua. Langkawi hendak tubuh parti baharu, Nasib Melayu dijadikan taruhan, Soalan Jempol naik nombor satu, Mohon Timbalan Menteri beri jawapan. 1. Dato' Haji Salim Sharif [Jempol] minta Menteri Kewangan menyatakan pelan tindakan untuk membantu individu-individu yang berdepan masalah kewangan dan pembayaran hutang akibat pandemik COVID-19, khususnya selepas tamat tempoh moratorium pada September 2020 bagi mengelakkan berlakunya peningkatan bilangan individu muflis. Timbalan Menteri Kewangan I [Datuk Abd Rahim bin Bakri]: Terima kasih Yang Berhormat Jempol di atas soalan yang telah dikemukakan. Tuan Yang di-Pertua, untuk makluman Yang Berhormat, kerajaan akan melaksanakan kaedah moratorium bersasar selepas tamat moratorium secara automatik pada September 2020 nanti kepada individu terjejas seperti yang telah diumumkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri. Lanjutan moratorium bersasar dan peruntukan fleksibiliti pembayaran balik khusus untuk golongan yang benar-benar memerlukan iaitu― DR.12.8.2020 2 Pertama, individu yang kehilangan pekerjaan pada tahun 2020 dan masih lagi belum dapat pekerjaan lain akan ditawarkan tempoh lanjutan moratorium pinjaman selama tiga bulan lagi oleh pihak bank masing-masing. Kedua, individu yang masih bekerja tetapi gaji mereka terjejas akibat COVID-19 akan ditawarkan pengurangan ansuran pinjaman yang sepadan dengan pengurangan gaji mereka bergantung pada jenis pembiayaan. Institusi perbankan akan menawarkan tempoh fleksibiliti ini selama sekurang-kurangnya enam bulan. Institusi perbankan juga akan mempertimbangkan lanjutan penerimaan fleksibiliti pada akhir tempoh tersebut dengan mengambil kira gaji peminjam pada ketika itu. Bagi pembiayaan sewa beli, peminjam yang terjejas akan ditawarkan jumlah jadual ansuran pembayaran yang disemak semula supaya ia selaras dengan Akta Sewa Beli 1967. Selain itu, institusi perbankan juga komited untuk memberikan fleksibiliti pembayaran balik kepada individu lain dan semua peminjam PKS yang terjejas akibat COVID-19. Fleksibiliti yang ditawarkan oleh sesebuah bank akan mengambil kira keadaan spesifik setiap peminjam. Tawaran ini adalah termasuk:- (i) membenarkan peminjam membayar bahagian faedah sahaja bagi sesuatu pinjaman dalam tempoh tertentu; (ii) memanjangkan tempoh keseluruhan pinjaman bagi mengurangkan ansuran bulanan; dan (iii) memberikan fleksibiliti lain sehingga kedudukan peminjam lebih stabil bagi menyambung pembayaran balik baki pinjaman. Individu yang menghendaki moratorium ini bolehlah memohon terus kepada bank bermula 7 Ogos 2020 untuk membolehkan bank mempunyai ruang yang mencukupi untuk memproses dan mempertimbangkan. Terima kasih Tuan Yang di- Pertua. Timbalan Yang di-Pertua [Dato’ Sri Azalina Othman Said]: Soalan tambahan pertama. Dato’ Haji Salim Sharif [Jempol]: Terima kasih. Saya ingin juga mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada kerajaan kerana cukup prihatin dengan pengumuman lanjutan moratorium serta bantuan bank tersasar kepada individu yang kehilangan pekerjaan dan mereka yang terjejas pendapatan akibat penularan COVID-19. Bagaimanapun, kadar pengangguran di Malaysia telah meningkat kepada 5.3 peratus pada Mei 2020, telah mencatatkan kelebihan 800,000 penganggur. Sudah tentulah dengan kelembapan ekonomi masa kini, angka tersebut tidak akan berhenti pada kadar ini sahaja. DR.12.8.2020 3 Bank Negara juga mengunjurkan pertumbuhan KDNK antara negatif dua peratus ke lima peratus. Kemerosotan KDNK sudah tentulah secara tidak langsung memberi impak kepada sumber pendapatan rakyat kita yang bekerja. Saya mengambil kira contoh Singapura... Timbalan Yang di-Pertua [Dato’ Sri Azalina Othman Said]: Soalan, Yang Berhormat. Dato’ Haji Salim Sharif [Jempol]: Contoh Singapura... Timbalan Yang di-Pertua [Dato’ Sri Azalina Othman Said]: Soalan tambahan. Dato’ Haji Salim Sharif [Jempol]: ...Yang mana ia berlaku dalam setahun. Jadi, soalan saya, sejauh manakah kebolehupayaan bank-bank di Malaysia untuk menjalani tempoh moratorium? Apakah kesan kerajaan sekiranya moratorium dilanjutkan kepada semua pihak seperti masa yang telah dilangsungkan sekarang? Dan apakah strategi peringkat kementerian bagi mengekang kemungkinan berlaku kadar kenaikan pinjaman tidak berbayar (NPL)? Mohon Menteri untuk menjawab. Terima kasih. Timbalan Yang di-Pertua [Dato’ Sri Azalina Othman Said]: Silakan. Datuk Abd Rahim bin Bakri: Terima kasih Yang Berhormat. Yang Berhormat membangkitkan berkaitan dengan adakah bank berkeupayaan untuk melaksanakan moratorium ini selanjutnya sekiranya keadaan ekonomi kurang memuaskan untuk tempoh-tempoh yang akan datang. Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat, seperti mana dalam Pakej PRIHATIN dan juga Pakej PENJANA yang telah kita kemukakan iaitu RM295 bilion, RM100 bilion daripadanya adalah merupakan inisiatif moratorium yang telah disediakan oleh bank- bank di Malaysia. Setakat ini, sememangnya pihak bank telah pun menanggung RM66.6 bilion pakej moratorium tersebut bagi tempoh setakat yang telah dilaksanakan. ■1010 Saya ingin nyatakan di sini bahawa bank memang berkemampuan untuk melaksanakannya. Ini kerana, bank mempunyai buffer yang mencukupi untuk menanggung semuanya ini dan setiap keputusan untuk melanjutkan moratorium ini adalah dikawal selia oleh Bank Negara dan juga melalui penglibatan Persatuan Bank- bank Malaysia. Terima kasih. Tuan Hassan bin Abdul Karim [Pasir Gudang]: Terima kasih Tuan Yang di- Pertua. Yang Berhormat Timbalan Menteri, bolehkah diadakan tempoh moratorium tindakan kebankrapan di mahkamah bermula dari tarikh PKP diperkenalkan iaitu 18 Mac DR.12.8.2020 4 2020 sehingga rang undang-undang pindaan kepada Akta Insolvensi 1967 – yang ada di atas meja saya ini diluluskan dan digazet. Terima kasih. Datuk Abd Rahim bin Bakri: Terima kasih Yang Berhormat. Proses yang sedang kita lakukan sekarang adalah untuk melaksanakan moratorium bersasar. Ini bererti bahawa ramai yang akan dapat faedah dan tindakan untuk melaksanakan legal proceeding terhadap borrowers ini akan dapat dielakkan. Oleh sebab itu, kepada peminjam-peminjam yang menghadapi sedikit masalah, mereka boleh mengunjungi AKPK iaitu agensi yang bertanggungjawab untuk memberikan nasihat kepada peminjam-peminjam dan bagi small and medium enterprises, mereka boleh mengunjungi agensi Small Debt Resolution Scheme (SDRS) untuk mendapatkan khidmat nasihat. Oleh sebab itu, saya fikir perkara-perkara untuk tindakan-tindakan undang-undang itu dapat kita elakkan. Terima kasih Yang Berhormat. Tuan Haji Akmal Nasrullah bin Mohd Nasir [Johor Bahru]: Tuan Yang di- Pertua, satu lagi boleh? Timbalan Yang di-Pertua [Dato’ Sri Azalina Othman Said]: Yang Berhormat Papar tiada dalam Dewan untuk soalan 2. Saya menjemput Yang Berhormat Pasir Puteh. [Soalan No. 2 – Y.B. Tuan Haji Ahmad bin Hassan (Papar) tidak hadir] 3. Dr. Nik Muhammad Zawawi bin Haji Salleh [Pasir Puteh] minta Menteri Komunikasi dan Multimedia menyatakan apakah langkah-langkah yang telah diambil pihak kementerian dalam memastikan kepuasan hati rakyat terhadap kualiti dan penerimaan perkhidmatan siaran TV Digital yang telah disediakan melalui myFreeview. Timbalan Menteri Komunikasi dan Multimedia [Datuk Zahidi bin Zainul Abidin]: Assalamualaikum. Tuan Yang di-Pertua, sebelum ini liputan siaran TV analog hanya merangkumi sejumlah 60 hingga 98 peratus di kawasan berpenduduk. Penonton hanya menerima tujuh saluran TV pada ketika itu. Malah ada yang cuma menerima dua atau tiga siaran saluran TV sahaja. Kini terdapat sebanyak 15 saluran TV dan enam saluran radio secara percuma disediakan melalui siaran TV Digital myFreeview kepada penonton. Kualiti siaran adalah dalam standard definition (SD) dan high definition (HD) tidak kira di mana sahaja mereka berada. MYTV Broadcasting iaitu syarikat yang mengendalikan myFreeview sedang berusaha untuk memberi perkhidmatan siaran TV Digital myFreeview melalui pelbagai peranti dan platform serta menawarkan

We Terrorism legislations and RMK-11 will endeavour to update you of our activities and events every six months. The first six months of 2015 has seen tremendous political and economic developments in Malaysia. The incarceration of Anwar Ibrahim and the recent PAS Muktamar has effectively ended Pakatan Rakyat.

Malaysia’s Changing Federal-State Relations Kelantan & the PH Government By Najwa Abdullah SYNOPSIS The Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) state government in Kelantan had had difficult relationships with Barisan Nasional (BN) governments in Kuala Lumpur for as long as BN was in power. Will this change under the new Pakatan Harapan (PH) government? COMMENTARY THROUGHOUT THE modern history of Malaysian politics, the state of Kelantan has been unique in many ways, particularly for its distinctive political choice and religious character. Since 1990 when PAS gained control there, Kelantan was continuously portrayed as the ‘disobedient’ state by the federal government during the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional (BN) period. As a result, Kelantan’s relationship with the centre had been fraught with disagreements, particularly over economic development and oil royalty. There had been numerous studies and reports on how the BN government had blocked the allocation of mandatory and discretionary grants and refused to pay the oil royalty to the state government. The BN tactics did not convince the Kelantanese to stop their support for PAS, as reflected by PAS’ victories in Kelantan in the general elections over the years (except in 2004 where Kelantan almost fell to BN).

  • DAP Exco Man Freed After Night in Lock-Up Malaysiakini.Com Sept 1, 2014
    DAP exco man freed after night in lock-up MalaysiaKini.com Sept 1, 2014 Penang exco member Phee Boon Poh was released by police this evening after having spent a night in a police lock-up for his role as the head of state-funded Voluntary Patrol Unit (PPS). A total of 134 more PPS members will be released by midnight, lawyer Gobind Singh Deo said this afternoon. Gobind said the documentation was being done to secure the release of the members. He was accompanied by 21 lawyers from DAP, PKR and the Bar Council’s Legal Aid Centre and they managed to get into a sessions court set up for the matter at the Northeast District police headquarters on Jalan Patani about 12.30pm today. "The police applied to remand them for four days, but since they needed to prepare the documentation, the detainees will be released, temporarily, on police bail today. "The sessions court judge heard the application by the detainees to seek their release," Gobind said. However, the lawyers were not informed about the actual reason for the remand. Sessions judge Mohamad Izwan presided over the matter, while police officer ASP Karuna applied for the remand. The lawyers came out about 3pm and were greeted by supporters who clapped happily upon hearing about the pending release of the detainees. Exact charge yet to be specified According to Gobind, the detainees are being investigated under Section 43 of the 1966 Societies Act, but the exact charge is yet to be specified. Earlier, 21 PPS members - seven women and 14 senior citizens over the age 60 - were released on police bail, after Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng negotiated with the police for their release last night.

  • Vote Buying Will Be Rampant, Says Sarawak PKR Malaysiakini.Com April 4, 2013 by Dukau Papau
    Vote buying will be rampant, says Sarawak PKR MalaysiaKini.com April 4, 2013 By Dukau Papau Sarawak PKR expects millions of ringgit to be poured in certain constituencies where its candidates are popular, to influence voters against them. "I anticipate a lot of cash will be distributed not only in Saratok, Lubok Antu, Baram, but also in Limbang and other constituencies where we are very strong," said Baru Bian, state PKR chairperson after a state PKR committee meeting. Bian (right), the Ba'Kelalan state assemblyperson, alleged this was his experience in the last state election in his constituency. "They came in the middle of the night and offered RM1,000 to RM2,000 to each voter to go for a BN candidate. "This time around, BN will definitely pour millions of ringgit to ensure our candidates are defeated." PKR is particularly strong in Saratok, Baram, Lubok Antu, Limbang and Selangau. Bian will contest in Limbang. "PKR has no financial resources and we depend on good Samaritans. "What we can offer to the people is our policy which is contained in our manifesto. Our policy will give people hope." He urged them to compare and review BN's policies in the last 50 years and look at the Pakatan manifesto and policies, as well as assess states run by Pakatan in the last five years. "I believe the people will make a wise decision," Bian added. Not bought over Meanwhile, Bian strongly denied that PKR potential candidates Antu Nicholas Bawin for Lubok, and Joshua Jabeng for Selangau, have been bought over by Sarawak Workers Party (SWK).

    ISSUE #17 CONSTITUENCY NEWSLETTER JANUARY - JUNE 2021 WONG CHEN MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR SUBANG PUSAT KHIDMAT RAKYAT PARLIMEN SUBANG (P104) Table of Contents Page 1 Foreword 01 2 Parliamentary Duties 03 3 Diplomatic Duties 04 4 Welfare & Community Updates 06 5 Officer’s Introduction 11 6 Interns’ Testimonials 12 7 Financial Statements & Allocation Spending 13 8 Media Engagements 15 9 Constituency Services 16 01 Foreword by Wong Chen My dear Constituents of Subang, The first six months of 2021 have been strange, bewildering and overall sad for Malaysia. For the last two months, we have been hit very hard by the pandemic and there seems to be no near end in sight. The Emergency proclamation in January, ostensibly to fight COVID-19 has now been proven to be a complete political sham. Malaysia is the only country in the world where after Emergency has been declared (together with the suspension of Parliament), the pandemic situation has actually worsened instead of improving. This inability to contain the pandemic is the result of an incompetent and anti-democratic government that is weak in leadership and poor in policy planning. I get no joy in criticising the PN government but it is now as clear as day that without the checks and balances provided by parliament, their incompetency will only grow to the detriment of Malaysians from the pandemic. However, this newsletter is not so much about politics; for that you can follow me on my active social media posts. This newsletter is basically a report card of sorts of what my office and I have been doing in the last six months.

At the request of the Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Ms. Karima Bennoune, the Government of Malaysia invited the Special Rapporteur to conduct a country visit to Malaysia from the 11th to 22nd September 2017. In accordance with the mandate of the Special Rapporteur, the purpose of her visit was to examine how cultural rights and diversity are preserved, promoted and protected in Malaysia’s multi-cultural society. During her mission, the Special Rapporteur had the opportunity to meet with as many as 62 government agencies both at the federal and state levels, as well as a wide array of civil societies, activists and independent experts. The Government of Malaysia takes note of her insights and subsequent recommendations. 2. As acknowledged by the Special Rapporteur, Malaysia underwent the 14th General Elections on 9 May 2018, which brought into power a new Government. The peaceful transition of power proves that the adequate systems are in place to protect and promote democracy and the rights of all Malaysian citizens, regardless of their racial, cultural and religious backgrounds.
