许德婉：分阶段调涨油价能减轻负担？
砂人联党中央妇女组主席许德婉指出，希盟政府执政迄今，未见进行有效降低物价，减轻人民经济负担的措施，反而一再推行各种征税制度，明年开跑的RON95新机制，肯定将推高百物上涨趋势，届时人民生活将陷入苦不堪言窘境。 “我们很惊讶，副贸消部长张健仁指分阶段调涨油价，是为了减轻人民的负担。这到底是什么逻辑和思维，全世界没有一种经济学，或商业概论是说明油价的上涨，是不会加重人民的负担。相信这种“特殊”的经济学与商业概论，仅属马来西亚希盟政府独有。” 许德婉发文告指出，无论油价每周的涨幅多少，久而久之就是一个相当惊人的数字，油价上涨的牵动范围相当广泛，从产品的生产、外销、运输都会因为油价的上涨而一发动全身，最终一件到消费者手中的商品售价，也都会因为油价的上涨而暴涨，这种情况，怎么说不会加重人民负担呢？ 许德婉说，在目前油价处于顶价机制下，贸消部都无法控制市场物价的上涨，更何况明年油价上涨？ “砂拉越许多商品都是来自马来亚，一旦马来亚制造商因为油价上涨而提高生产成品，砂拉越人民将购买到昂贵的商品，成为油价上涨的牺牲者。” 故此，她呼吁政府重新探讨调涨油价的措施，毕竟目前国人生活压力倍增，国家经济日益萧条，若执意调涨油价，将让人民生活雪上加霜。 她也促请希盟执政不要忘记自己当时的竞选承诺，即执政中央后即刻降低油价，在执政一年多后的今天，不仅没降低油价，现在还要调涨，彻底违背了承诺。
