I would like to emphasize an issue that is important to everyone who holds our Fair Land Sarawak dear to their hearts: MA63.Where is the promise by PH to honour, respect and to fulfill the obligations under MA63? Honourable Datuk Amar Speaker This is the right time to revisit MA63 and to access the breaches of MA63 by the federal government.

沈坚石:支持希盟的砂选民被泼冷水
人联党实达干支部主席沈坚石表示,在第14届全国大选投给希望联盟的砂选民,在明年度财政预算案公布时,彷佛被泼了冷水。 他指出,上届国选砂人民因看到希盟的竞选宣言,纷纷给予希盟候选人很大支持。 但如今,他们却面临失望局面,尤其是对迟迟没有落实希盟的竞选宣言,如: 1. 20%石油开采税-希盟政府强调继续给予5%石油开采税,另加上20%石油盈利,惟没说明期限 2. 30%发展拨款-财政预算案所得的拨款远低于这个比例。 3. 更多可负担房屋-目前只是获得入住5年后交易的5%税务降低。 4. 一马援助金-部分受惠者所获得的援助金金额从2000令吉降至500令吉。 5. 渔民援助金取消。 6. 农业援助金取消。 7. 高等教育贷学金贷款者仍必须缴付贷款。 8. 油价没有下跌。 沈坚石说,实达干支部虽然尊重选民支持希盟的决定,但对于希盟政府无法在执政首100天内兑现承诺,却深感失望。而且砂希盟领袖一直受马来亚政治主人摆布,没有真正捍卫砂人民权益,反而是帮助西马主人对付发表心声的砂人民。 他呼吁砂人民认清希盟的谎言,无继续受他们欺骗,而是团结一致,捍卫砂拉越权益。
阿邦佐哈里提呈砂史上最庞大财政预算案
砂首长拿督巴丁宜阿邦佐今日在砂议会提呈砂拉越有史以来数额最庞大的财政预算案,涉及数额为119亿令吉。其中90亿7300令吉或占总预算的67%是充作发展开销,其余28亿4100万令吉或24%则为行政开销。 兼任砂财政部长的阿邦佐哈里也宣布,在90亿7300令吉的发展开销中,60亿4900万令吉或占总发展开销的67%将是供乡区发展用途。去年的乡区发展拨款为30亿6200万令吉,而前年则是29亿8200万令吉。这也意味着明年的乡区发展开销同比今年翻了一番。 首长解释,政府决心推动乡区及内陆发展,刺激社会经济发展。 同时,砂政府将从明年1月1日开始,对石油产品征收5%的销售税。将被征税的石油产品包括原油、天然气、液化天然气、化学肥料及气转液产品。政府预计可从中取得38亿9700万令吉税收。 阿邦佐哈里表示,砂政府是经过周全的考虑后做出这项决定。新税收制度在其他收入来源的配合下,将能支撑砂政府落实更多发展项目。 他指出,砂拉越的发展远远落后于西马,因此必须寻求替代收入,以推动发展,以迎头赶上;同时也能缩小城乡发展鸿沟,改善乡区人民的生活素质,使砂拉越能在2030年达到高收入州属的目标。 他强调,砂拉越需要更多的资金,推动乡区的基建设施,水电供应、互联网、学校、诊所、农业及其他经济计划。 与此同时,砂新生婴儿明年将享有1000令吉奖励。 阿邦佐哈里宣布,政府将把100令吉的奖励存入新生婴儿的银行户口,到18岁后才可领出,以供孩子升大学之用。他预计,砂明年将有4万名新生婴儿诞生,因此砂政府将拨款4000万令吉充作这项用途。 他强调,只要是砂拉越公民都能享有这项福利,这是跨种族、宗教、家庭背景或收入奖励。
