Elok jugalah jawapan-jawapan daripada pihak Yang Berhormat Menteri dilakukan secara ringkas juga. Terima kasih. 1. Dato' Seri Tiong King Sing [Bintulu] minta Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri menyatakan apakah rancangan dan perkembangan proses pembentukan Economic Cooperation Agreement (ECA) untuk pelabur-pelabur dan pengusaha-pengusaha antara Malaysia dan Taiwan. Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri [Dato' Sri Mustapa Mohamed]: Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Selamat pagi Tuan Yang di-Pertua, terima kasih Yang Berhormat Bintulu. Soalan ini adalah berkaitan dengan hubungan dagangan antara Malaysia dengan Taiwan, khususnya cadangan untuk ditandatangani suatu perjanjian perdagangan antara Malaysia dengan Taiwan. Sehubungan dengan itu, untuk makluman Yang Berhormat, Taiwan adalah satu kawasan yang mempunyai penduduk kira-kira 23 juta orang. Ia berdasarkan pendapatan per kapita. Ia merupakan sebuah negara maju. Hampir kira-kira USD40,000 pendapatan per kapita Taiwan berbanding Malaysia kira-kira USD10,000 – USD11,000. Jadi Taiwan adalah satu kawasan yang maju dan asas ekonominya adalah pembuatan khususnya bidang electrical dan elektronik. Itu sedikit latar belakang berkaitan dengan negara Taiwan. Yang keduanya Tuan Yang di-Pertua, hubungan Malaysia dan Taiwan dalam bidang ekonomi dan perdagangan adalah baik dan boleh dikatakan amat baik. Taiwan merupakan rakan dagangan Malaysia yang kelapan terbesar pada tahun lalu. Jumlah perdagangan dua hala antara Malaysia – Taiwan meningkat dengan ketara dalam tempoh empat ke lima tahun yang lalu DR.18.11.2014 2 iaitu kira-kira RM33 bilion pada tahun 2009 meningkat kepada RM53 bilion pada tahun 2013, peningkatan 60%. Jadi Taiwan merupakan rakan dagangan yang kelapan terbesar. Sebuah negara yang penting dan hubungan antara Malaysia – Taiwan adalah baik. Yang ketiganya dari segi pelaburan. Setakat ini jumlah pelaburan Taiwan di Malaysia bernilai kira-kira USD5.4 bilion. Jadi sama ada perdagangan ataupun pelaburan, hubungan ekonomi antara Malaysia dengan Taiwan adalah baik. Kerajaan sedia maklum bahawa beberapa buah negara telah pun menandatangani perjanjian perdagangan bebas antara Taiwan dengan Singapura dan New Zealand umpamanya telah tandatangan perjanjian, dipanggil ASTEP, tidak dipanggil FTA. Sebagai contoh dengan Singapura dipanggil Agreement between Singapore and the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (ASTEP) namanya. Begitu jugalah negara New Zealand telah tandatangan pada tahun lalu. Satu Perjanjian ASTEP juga namanya. Jadi beberapa kerajaan sedia maklum bahawa beberapa buah negara telah pun tandatangan perjanjian dengan Taiwan. Tuan Yang di-Pertua, dalam menangani isu ini, kerajaan berpandukan kepada dasar semasa. Dasar kita ialah dasar dengan izin dipanggil 1China Policy di mana kita menghormati dasar China iaitu Taiwan adalah sebahagian daripada PRC, People’s Republic of China. Maka apa jua yang kita lakukan adalah berasaskan kepada dasar negara iaitu menghormati dasar negara China dan pihak MITI sentiasa berbincang dan merunding dengan pihak Wisma Putra sebelum apa-apa tindakan diambil. Jadi antara sebab kenapa kita berhati-hati dalam perkara ini ialah kerana kita ada satu 1China Policy. Dalam pada itu saya ingin memaklumkan Yang Berhormat Bintulu bahawa kita terbuka dan sentiasa mencari jalan bagaimana kita boleh meningkatkan hubungan dagangan dan pelaburan dengan Taiwan ini tanpa kita menjejaskan 1China Policy. Jadi ini pendekatan yang diambil oleh kerajaan. Sekarang ini kita belum membuat apa-apa keputusan berkaitan dengan cadangan yang dibuat oleh Yang Berhormat dari Bintulu. Selain daripada dasar dengan izin, 1China Policy sebelum kita tandatangan satu-satu perjanjian, sudah pasti kita kena buat kajian. Semua itu, satu kajian telah pun dibuat oleh pihak ASLI dan Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research dan kajian ini sudah pun ada hasilnya. Akan tetapi yang lebih penting ialah kita menghormati dasar 1China Policy yang diamalkan oleh kerajaan buat masa ini. Mengenai FTA, kita mempunyai sikap terbuka. Kita telah tandatangan 13 buah FTA setakat ini, yang terkini dengan negara Turki. Jadi Malaysia mempunyai pendekatan yang terbuka dalam isu FTA kerana kita merupakan sebuah negara yang bergantung banyak kepada perdagangan luar. Terima kasih. Dato’ Seri Tiong King Sing [Bintulu]: Terima kasih Tuan Yang di-Pertua, terima kasih Yang Berhormat Menteri. Saya difahamkan kita hari ini tak berapa sihat, pun datang jawab ini soalan. Terima kasih. Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kita faham dalam isu ini tujuan ECA adalah memudahcarakan perdagangan dan ekonomi dua hala Malaysia dan Taiwan. DR.18.11.2014 3 ■1010 Pengecualian cukai menarik pelabur ke Malaysia ataupun Malaysia ke Taiwan. Meningkatkan kerjasama ekonomi Malaysia-Taiwan. Malaysia, kita memang faham. Kita One China Policy. Saya rasa, kalau boleh negara kita mesti mahu sampaikan mesej kepada negara China. Kita bersama Taiwan bukan hendak bercerita mengenai ECA berkaitan dengan politik. Ini tidak kena-mengena dengan politik. Ini kena-mengena dengan ekonomi. Rakyat kita melabur di Taiwan, ataupun Taiwan melabur di Malaysia. Kita mesti mahu ingat, rakyat kita sekarang macam pelajar kita akan lebih kurang 18,000 orang. Pelajar dari Malaysia sedang melanjutkan pelajaran di Taiwan. Saya pernah berbincang bersama mahasiswa dan mahasiswi, mereka kata mereka belajar di sana. Apabila mereka balik, hendak berniaga dengan siapa? Mereka memang ada connection dengan Taiwan. Inilah, kalau kita tidak lihat, kita tidak sampai ke negara China, rakyat ini apabila balik besok, semua marah dengan kita. Ini lah kita bagi peluang. Semua mahasiswa dan mahasiswi balik akan undi pada pembangkang. Tidak bagi peluang tetapi negara China lain. Dia tidak payah undi, dia orang angkat tangan tetapi kita mesti mahu melihat perkara ini. Kalau tengok sampai hari ini, ramai mahasiswa dan mahasiswi balik dari Taiwan dia orang marah sama kita. Kita tidak menjaga kepentingan mahasiswa dan mahasiswi ataupun generasi yang muda ini. Saya di sini ingin memberitahu kita ada perjanjian yang ditandatangani Malaysia dengan Taiwan; 1993 - Investment Politician Agreement; 1996- Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement. Kita pun ada sign. Apa masalah kalau kita seriously pertimbangkan ECA ini untuk rakyat Malaysia, terutama sekali rakyat Malaysia kita. Saya hendak tanya soalan. Bolehkah kementerian ambil inisiatif berbincang dengan negara China. Kalau negara China langsung tidak setuju, kenapa bising dengan negara China sekarang, sebab China pun sekarang berbincang dengan Taiwan. Ada perjanjian juga atas economy cooperation bersama. Kita Cuma hendak selesaikan kepentingan rakyat. Bagi tahu dengan dia, kalau boleh kementerian tolong, bolehkah kementerian mengambil satu inisiatif berbincang dengan Kementerian Luar Negeri dan negara China. Bukan bersama Ambassador tetapi bersama Negara China - macam mana kita boleh win-win situation menyelesaikan masalah ini. Sekian terima kasih. Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed: Terima kasih Tuan Yang di-Pertua. Terima kasih Yang Berhormat Bintulu atas cadangan supaya kita adakan perbincangan dengan pihak-pihak berkenaan. Seperti yang saya maklumkan, isu utamanya ialah kita ada satu dasar dan kita hormati dasar ini. Dalam pada itu, kita tidak tutup pada perbincangan. Seperti yang saya sebut dalam jawapan saya tadi, kita telah mengadakan perbincangan dengan pelbagai pihak, bagaimana kita boleh tangani masalah ini dengan mengambil kira sensitiviti berkaitan dengan One China Policy, dengan izin. Itulah kaedah yang kita telah mulakan, malahan kita telah berbincang dan bermula 2011 lagi, sudah tiga tahun. Belum ada kaedah dan kita ucapkan terima kasih kepada Yang Berhormat Bintulu atas cadangan tersebut. Memang benar pelajar kita ramai di sana, tetapi seperti yang saya maklum tadi hubungan kita amat baik dengan Taiwan- perdagangan dan pelaburan. Memang benar kalau ada perjanjian perdagangan bebas di mana- DR.18.11.2014 4 mana kawasan negara di dunia, ini akan memberi kesan yang baik kepada perdagangan dan pelaburan. Itu memang jelas daripada pengalaman kita - 13 perjanjian telah kita tangani hasilnya baik. Akan tetapi dalam kes Taiwan ini, kita harus menghormati negara China yang merupakan rakan dagangan kita yang pertama antara Malaysia dan China. Jadi kita akan cuba cari satu penyelesaian yang berbentuk win-win. Terima kasih. Tuan Sim Tong Him [Kota Melaka]: Terima kasih Tuan Yang di-Pertua. Yang Berhormat Menteri, dengan

  • Fireside Chat with YB Lim Guan Eng, Minister of Finance, Malaysia, on the “State of the Nation” 7Th August 2018
    Fireside Chat with YB Lim Guan Eng, Minister of Finance, Malaysia, on the “State of the Nation” 7th August 2018 The Kuala Lumpur Business Club (KLBC) hosted a Fireside Chat with YB Lim Guan Eng, Malaysia’s Minister of Finance, on the “State of the Nation”, on 7th August 2018, at the St Regis hotel in Kuala Lumpur. The Minister opened by giving members an overview of the current fiscal situation in the country and then took questions from the floor. He was as frank and transparent as members expected him to be, offering insights into the government’s thinking. Since the SST bill was still being debated, YB Lim left for Parliament after 40 minutes, leaving us in the capable hands of his special officer, YB Tony Pua. The question and answer session covered the following areas: a) The challenges faced by the current government b) The short, medium, and long-term plans and projects c) Balance sheet d) GST e) Corporate tax f) The investment community g) How can the corporate sector be part of the new game plan? Both the Minister and YB Tony Pua emphasized that Malaysia can and will recover, after a (hopefully brief) period of pain to restore the nation’s coffers. They both suggested that KLBC could be a useful backchannel for the government and the business community, especially on the international front. The Fireside Chat ended on a positive note, leaving members clear that the reform agenda is still very much on and that the consumer and business confidence index remains healthy.

    DAP to hold two forums over MCA's 'RM1bil scandal' claim MalaysiaKini.com July 20, 2012 By Aidila Razak The DAP will be holding two separate forums on MCA’s claim that the Selangor government was involved in a RM1 billion scandal through the Talam Corporation Bhd debt recovery exercise. According to Selangor DAP treasurer Hannah Yeoh, the forums are to allow MCA deputy minister Chua Tee Yong to explain his claims to the public at first hand. “This is to ensure that the audience is not misled by (DAP publicity chief) Tony Pua as accused by Chua. If requested we will be more than happy to offer a neutral moderator from The Star to ensure that everyone gets a fair opportunity to present their views,” she told reporters today. The first forum will be on July 24 at 7.30pm at the Kuala Lumpur Chinese Assembly Hall, and will be held in the Chinese language. Also to speak at the forum will be Selangor DAP chief Teresa Kok and Pua. The second forum, to be held in Bahasa Malaysia and English, will be at the mutipurpose hall at Jalan SS15/4 on July 25 with Yeoh, Pua and PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli speaking. Commenting on Chua’s recent assertions that he (Pua) failed to read the Permodalan Selangor Nasional Bhd balance sheet properly and did not know how to calculate, Pua said he would love for Chua to attend the forum to “educate” him. “I seriously would appreciate if he can turn up at this forum, so I can pay him tuition fees for him to teach me on how to count and teach me the elements of accountancy.

  • The Implication of Conjunctive Element Shifts in the Translation of Argumentative Texts
    KEMANUSIAAN Vol. 25, No. 1, (2018), 19–41 The Implication of Conjunctive Element Shifts in the Translation of Argumentative Texts SIEW HUI SHENG SOH BEE KWEE *LOOI WAI LING Malaysian Languages and Applied Linguistics, Faculty of Languages and Liguistics, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Published online: 20 April 2018 To cite this article: Siew, H.S., Soh, B.K. and Looi, W.L. 2018. The implication of conjunctive element shifts in the translation of argumentative texts. KEMANUSIAAN the Asian Journal of Humanities 25(1): 19–41, https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2018.25.1.2 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/kajh2018.25.1.2 Abstract. This study attempts to identify the implication of conjunctive element shifts in the Chinese translation of argumentative column articles by an established columnist. More specifically, this study focuses on the implication of a cohesive shift, which includes explicitations, implicitations, shifts and wrong translations of conjunctive elements in the translated text. The texts in this study are argumentative in nature, and the use of conjunctive elements is pivotal in guiding the reader on the flow of the argument at hand. Through in- depth analysis and observation, it is found that changes in conjunctive elements can affect a translation in six possible ways: altering the intensity of the message, shifting the focus of the message, altering the tone and manner of the texts, causing repetitious and intrusive translations, changing the interpretation of the text, and altering the conversational-like element in the source text.

  • Framing Interethnic Conflict in Malaysia: a Comparative Analysis of Newspaper Coverage on the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf)
    International Journal of Communication 6 (2012), 166–189 1932–8036/20120166 Framing Interethnic Conflict in Malaysia: A Comparative Analysis of Newspaper Coverage on the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) LAI FONG YANG Taylor's University Malaysia MD SIDIN AHMAD ISHAK University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur Despite repeated warnings from the Malaysian government, the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) rally drew thousands of Indians protesting on the streets of Kuala Lumpur on November 25, 2007. Mistreatment of Indians and lack of press coverage of their plight had been commonplace for years. By employing framing as the theoretical framework and content analysis as the research method, this study examines what perspectives newspapers have created that influence citizens’ understanding of the Hindraf movement. Three mainstream newspapers were found to focus on the conflict frame, and their representation of Hindraf articulated a hegemonic discourse that was prejudicial to the interests of the group and contrary to a spirit of democratic inquiry. The dissimilar coverage of the same issue by the alternative newspaper denoted that publication’s varied points of view, which were rooted in different political beliefs, cultural assumptions and institutional practices. Introduction Since gaining independence in 1957, the Malaysian government has viewed interethnic relations as a real challenge to the social stability of the country (Abdul Rahman, 2000; Baharuddin, 2005; Brown, 1994). As early as 1970, Mahathir Mohamad, who was then a medical doctor and later became the fourth and longest-serving prime minister of Malaysia, claimed that there was never true racial harmony in Malaysia. In his much-debated and once-banned book, The Malay Dilemma, he argued that although there was a certain amount of tolerance and accommodation, racial harmony in Malaysia was neither real nor Lai Fong Yang: [email protected] Md Sidin Ahmadd Ishak: [email protected] Date submitted: 2011–06–03 Copyright © 2012 (Lai Fong Yang & Md Sidin Ahmad Ishak).

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.

  • GE13: List of Pakatan's Candidates in Selangor Bernama 18 April, 2013
    GE13: List Of Pakatan's Candidates In Selangor Bernama 18 April, 2013 SHAH ALAM, April 18 (Bernama) -- Following is Pakatan Rakyat's list of candidates for Selangor in the 13th General Election, as announced by the pact's partners here Thursday night.
