Fiscal Deficit Has Not Impeded Growth of Country, Says Najib Malaysian Insider 1 Apr, 2014 by Jennifer Gomez Fiscal deficit has not impeded growth of country, says Najib Malaysian Insider 1 Apr, 2014 By Jennifer Gomez The country's long-standing fiscal deficit since the 1990s has not stunted the development of the economy, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak told Parliament today. He said that what was more crucial was to ensure that the government's budgeting would be able to withstand any economic crisis. He was responding to a question from Datuk Ahmad Hamzah (BN-Jasin) on the government's measures to restructure the economy, including subsidy rationalisation. Najib said the current subsidy expenditure of RM43 billion against the country's yearly development budget of about RM46 billion was somewhat lopsided and not rational. He added that the government's ongoing subsidy rationalisation would instead look into strengthening the social security net for the lower-income group to protect them from suffering from inflationary pressures. "When we do subsidy rationalisation, we can save on government expenses and part of this can be used to strengthen the social security net and also add to the development budget," he said. M. Kulasegaran (DAP-Ipoh Barat) then pointed out that the biggest challenge for the government was to plug leakages, especially in arms-length deals and irrational subsidies being dished out to independent power producers. To this, Najib said that the government had a comprehensive plan in place, including using value-based management for projects above RM100 million. He said that contracts were also given out on a tender basis. "Even in a closed tender, it must be at a cost acceptable to the government, it is not automatic. "We are certain that this will go a long way in plugging the leakages in government expenditure," Najib added. – April 1, 2014.

  • Oath of Secrecy Will Ensure Information Confidentiality - PAC Members Bernama Oct 26, 2015
    Oath Of Secrecy Will Ensure Information Confidentiality - PAC Members Bernama Oct 26, 2015 KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- Newly-appointed Public Accounts Committee (PAC) member Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan agreed that members should be obliged to take the oath of secrecy in regard to their responsibility. The Kota Bharu Member of Parliament said it was to ensure that every confidential information stays and remain secret within the committee. "I agree that PAC members should take the oath of secrecy but it doesn't mean that they cannot speak out at all," he said at the Dewan Rakyat lobby Monday. On Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi proposed that PAC members take the oath of secrecy to safeguard information and documents on investigations conducted by the committee. Five MPs were appointed as PAC members with Rompin MP Datuk Hasan Ariffin as chairman. PAS chose Takiyuddin to represent it in the committee, replacing Tumpat MP Datuk Kamaruddin Jaffar who joined Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) last month. The other four new members are Barisan Nasional MPs Datuk Marcus Mojigoh (Putatan), Datuk Wira Ahmad Hamzah (Jasin), Datuk Nawawi Ahmad (Langkawi) and Datuk Koh Nai Kwong (Alor Gajah). Meanwhile, Nawawi was of the view that it was not proper for PAC members to issue statements. "If a statement needs to be made, it should be the chairman who should do it," he said, agreeing to the oath proposal. Ahmad Hamzah said PAC members could reinforce their integrity by taking the oath of secrecy. -- BERNAMA Copyright © 2015 BERNAMA http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v8/newsindex.php?id=1183517 .

    30 APR 2001 Umno-Roundup A BLEND OF OLD AND NEW FACES AMONG UMNO DIVISION CHIEFS KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi were among the Umno division chiefs who were returned unopposed in the divisional elections held throughout this month. In KEDAH, Dr Mahathir, who has been leading the Kubang Pasu division since 1974, was among 11 of the 15 division heads who retained their posts, six of them without contest. Others who won the post uncontested include the Prime Minister's Religious Adviser Datuk Paduka Abdul Hamid Othman (Sik), Tun Daim Zainuddin's political secretary Datuk Arzmi Abd Hamid (Merbok) and Culture, Arts and Tourism Minister Datuk Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir (Kulim/Bandar Baharu). Apart from Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Syed Razak Syed Zain who was returned unopposed in Kuala Kedah, there were three other new faces, all former deputy chiefs who managed to beat their "bosses". They are state executive councillor Datuk Zainol Md Isa who beat former Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Raja Ariffin Raja Sulaiman in Baling, former executive councillor Abdul Rahman Ariffin who beat Datuk Hanafi Ramli in Jerlun, and another former executive councillor Datuk Ghazali Ibrahim who beat former Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr Afiffuddin Omar in Padang Terap. However, the election results in Padang Terap have yet to be confirmed after a complaint was lodged with the Kedah Umno Elections Committee that there were more ballot papers than the number of delegates present during voting.

  • A Legal Analysis of Piracy and Armed Robbery at Sea in the Straits Of
    A LEGAL ANALYSIS OF PIRACY AND ARMED ROBBERY AT SEA IN THE STRAITS OF MALACCA: THE MALAYSIAN PERSPECTIVE by HENDUN ABD RAHMAN SHAH A thesis submitted for the University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PhD in Law) Birmingham School of Law College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham February 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ii ABSTRACT The motivation for undertaking research on the topic of piracy began when the Straits of Malacca was declared a war-risk zone in 2005 due to escalating numbers of piracy incidents being reported, particularly by the International Maritime Bureau. As the Straits is one of the busiest straits in the world and of great significance for global seaborne trade, piracy and armed robbery in the Straits have a devastating impact on the world economy. While customary international law, the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982 Convention) and other international and regional instruments have established principles and guidelines governing piracy, they are argued to be inadequate and insufficient to deal with contemporary piracy.
