Our Economy :Your Suggestions for the Second Fiscal Stimulus

Merangkap Menteri Kewangan Malaysia

Thursday, 22 January 2009

A couple of days ago, I announced the Head for the Project Management Unit in the Ministry of Finance to ensure the timeliness and effectiveness of the First Stimulus Package. I am pleased that we are already making further progress in reducing bureaucracy - allocations for Chinese schools for example, are now given directly to the schools' administrators for faster implementation.

As you may already be aware, a second stimulus package is in the pipeline. For one, the focus of this package will be different from the first. While the Second Stimulus Package has an overriding objective to address the issues facing us that have come about due to this global financial crisis, it will be focused on niche areas of the economy. I am in the process of gathering views from different parties on what is to be included in the second economic stimulus package. The relevant Government ministries and agencies are also committed to the stimulus package so that we avoid falling into a recession and sustain our economic livability.

I thought it would be a good idea to reach out to you via 1Malaysia to hear your views, comments and suggestions on steps and measures you think the Government should include in the Second Stimulus Package, In this regard, I invite all Malaysians to participate in providing constructive and healthy, yet concise inputs as your personal contribution to move our nation forward. In addition to submitting comments on this blog, you can also put forward your ideas to me through najib@1malaysia.com.my. I look forward to hearing from you.

My comment to the above:

DS Najib,

Congratulations for being "elected- President" of UMNO.

One thing DS should know or might already acknowledged - I personally "SCARED" to give comment(s) sometime because scare that you will strike back towards our seen to be in-constructive comment.

As a rakyat from the rural area of Sarawak, I want DS Najib to look into our problems.

I hope this second stimulus economics package will really "REACH" us. Plainly say I don't know how the government going to deliver the so call "stimulus" package to be delivered to our people who live in rural or remote areas of Sarawak.

There is perception that the government's honest policies to help the people at large including us in remote area of Sarawak that : the "CAKE" that you want to give us is FINISH along the way to our PLACE. Who finish it I don’t know. Or may be very small portion left for us because of this “delivery problem”.

As you will be our next PM, please make sure the delivery system will really work proper so that your honest action to help the rakyat especially us in remote area of Sarawak also enjoy the fruits of your policy.

In other word, don't let the RAKYAT's portions finish on its way to us.

Thank you.

ABUN SUI ANYIT
