How can Mahathir develop the country without GST or heavy borrowing ?

The original post in written in Malay and was translate in English as near as possible by one of my blog readers. After the English translation is the Original Malay Version. No difference between the both PMs as one uses third party banking accounts (cronies) and the other uses direct debit banking accounts . Good help Malaysia as only leaders of calibre are the thieves. Where have all the good men gone to

Najib Razak has built infrastructure such as the MRT, the Pan Borneo highway, the east coast railway track and LRT connections without any direct govt borrowings. There is no agreement with concessionaires that not only burdens the rakyat but benefits the capitalist immensely. The government borrowing will only increase. We will know exactly how much has to be paid and we are not open to the capitalist threat who will want to hike up prices pending election or with lopsided concession agreements.

 

Yes, on paper during Mahathir's government reign there was not many direct borrowings. Mahathir built all the highways, Putrajaya, LRT, ERL through public/private partnerships or via private finance initiative (PFI) the government didnt owe anything.

 

On the other hand, the concessionaires were free to to milk the rakyat as they wished, if they fail to milk the rakyat by way of higher toll fee than they could do so by asking the government who must pay up.

 Mahathir made agreements that increases fees with time and this is happens till today. Mahathir allowed this uncontrolled and senseless demand without realizing the rakyat's affordability, so when it becomes a political issue the government is forced to compensate the consessionaires.

The government has compensated RM4 billion to the toll concessionaires for the last 15 years.

 

The LRT system project STAR and Putra LRT has been taken over by Prasarana Negara Bhd (SPNB) at a cost of RM 3.3 billion and RM 4.5 billion respectively, was this paid in cash by the government ? This came to light only after Mahathir retired.

 The owing has ballooned because the overly clever Mahathir didn't want the government to owe but had allowed private entities to owe with very high interest rate so when there is a loss or if the concessionaire windup, the government has to foot the bill which is way much more from the actual building cost to safeguard these infra projects.

 The question now is where is the logic that Mahathir has contributed to the development without affecting or burdening the rakyat, so can we do without collecting GST and borrowings ? The Kerajaan Persekutuan has to pay rental of RM 2 billion per year but the government has to compensate RM 2.9 billion to YTL a Mahathir crony in order to prevent ERL from increasing their prices, are you aware that besides that ERL gets RM 5 every time a users uses its service to the KLIA airport ?

 

Yes, Mahathir can develop this nation without GST because he has done so by paying billions of ringgit as compensation for he is not bothered what will happen in future so long as he can proper and look good in the history books.

Hujah Bangang Zaman Mahathir Tidak Perlu Ada GST Pun Hospital Kerajaan Percuma.

Memanglah, Mahathir dia tak kira rakyat susah yang terpaksa ke hospital dalam jarak sampai 100 KM.
1. Tempoh 2001 hingga 2012, bilangan hospital Kerajaan telah bertambah daripada 128 buah hospital pada tahun 2000 kepada 139 buah hospital pada tahun 2012.
2. Pada tahun 2001, jumlah katil di hospital Kerajaan adalah 7,434 buah, namun pada tahun 2012, jumlah katil telah bertambah kepada 42,707 buah.
3. Pada 2001 jumlah doktor kerajaan 8,615 orang, pada 2012 jumlah doktor kerajaan ialah 27,478. Ini belum termasuk doktor pelatih yang mencecah 3000 orang setahun.
4. Pada 2001 jumlah jururawat kerajaan ialah 24, 543 orang. Manakala pada 2012 jumlah meningkat kepada 56, 089.

Saya percaya angka ini telah meningkat lagi sehingga 2016. Semua ini memakan perbelanjaan yang tinggi. Takkan nak buat hospital macam hendak buat lebuh raya zaman Mahathir? 🤣

Ini belum termasuk kenaikan gaji para doktor yang tinggi bagi mengelakkan doktor kerajaan pergi ke swasta. Mahathir ada fikir semua tu?
Harga ubat dan kos peralatan perubatan juga meningkat berkali ganda.
Hampa agak zaman sapa rakyat lebih senang dapat perkhidmatan kesihatan?
Zaman siapa kerajaan kena tanggung kos lagi tinggi?
Jadi tidak perlulah buat kenyataan zaman Mahathir tidak ada GST pun kerajaan boleh bagi perkhidmatan baik. Hampa mudah lupa sebenarnya.

Ini pun Najib Razak jahat juga?
