BR1M AND THESARAWAK’S POOREST

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE: DEWAN PEMUDA PAS SARAWAK

BR1M AND THESARAWAK’S POOREST

Sarawak PAS Youth highly welcomes the latest Federal scheme, Bantuan Rakyat 1 Malaysia or BR1M in short which has been widely reported in the media of late. In fact, this RM 500 cash disbursement which targets a staggering 80% of Malaysian households nation-wide is rather over-due since the rakyat, particularly in Sarawak has been very much financially constrained over the past 4 years ever since the 2008 recession.

At the same time, we as Malaysians should always remember of the fact that the RM 2.6 billion allocation for BR1M as announced by the Prime Minister is undisputedly the people’s money i.e; our money as the responsible citizens of the Federation. No political party or coalition, be it BN or Pakatan Rakyat, should arrogantly claim that the wealth of the nation is theirs and not the rakyat. In reality, this RM 2.6 billion only represents approximately 1.0% of the total expected revenue for the country this year. Thus, it is not quite a strong argument for the ruling party to boast that BR1M is the ultimate attestation of BN’s sincerely caring policy. Such brouhaha about BR1M with disbursement programmes attended and graced by BN leaders throughout the country is a clear evidence of BN particularly in Sarawak, desperately in need of such public relations exercise to win over votes amongst the people. BR1M may not be an election candy as dismissed by one BN minister yesterday, but it is indeed, a pre-election candy.

Based on Sarawak PAS Youth’s conservative estimate, the expected total disbursement of BR1M to the Sarawak citizens will be in the order of RM 100.0 million which actually represents a minimal 3.8% of the total BR1M allocation.  This amount is estimated to reach almost 200,000 low income households across the state earning less than RM 3,000 per month. However, as responsible citizens of Sarawak, it is only appropriate that we reflect upon such huge allocation of people’s money.

By the latest figures as furnished by the Sarawak State Government during the previous DUN sitting in June 2011, there are 55,975 poor households in the state, of which almost half are categorized as hardcore poor families. These families earn less than RM 520 a month, indeed a nasty reality for citizens living in such a land of abundance. By using this official data, it is estimated that an allocation of similar size as BR1M for Sarawak can actually eliminate incidence of hardcore poverty totally in the state, only within a year! Further analysis also reveals that with such RM 100.0 million allocation, Sarawak can in actual fact reduce its incidence of poverty of 5.3% (2009) by half to 2.7%, effectively disqualifying the state as the third state in Malaysia with the highest level of poverty.

PAS and our partners in Pakatan Rakyat has actually proposed in our Alternative Budget 2012 for Sarawak that RM 80.0 million is allocated specifically to significantly reduce cases of hardcore poverty in the state. And with an additional RM 20.0 million to approach the estimated BR1M figure for Sarawak, such allocation for the benefit of the Sarawak’s poorest appears rather negligible at only 2.5% in comparison with Sarawak’s expected revenue amounting RM 4.0 billion for 2012. 

We would like the BN leaders be reminded that the RM500 given to the ‘rakyat’ in the BR1M program is not from BN but it is from the nation and the ‘rakyat’ wealth. For us in PAS and Pakatan Rakyat, zero poverty in Sarawak has never been considered as being in the realm of impossibility, rather it is a highly feasible and achievable proposition provided the wealth of the state is religiously administered with a sense of ‘amanah’ and integrity. With the BR1M gift at hand, as received by most Malaysians, let us not forget our brothers and sisters who could only enjoy this once-off token for a month, with the next and proceeding months still very much in their rather decrepit life under poverty.

PAS IS HERE TO STAY AND FIGHT FOR SARAWAK

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE: DEWAN PEMUDA PAS SARAWAK

PAS IS HERE TO STAY AND FIGHT FOR SARAWAK

Sarawak PAS Youth (Pemuda PAS Sarawak) is very much amused with the unintelligent response made by two BN leaders yesterday in The Borneo Post. The statements made by these two YBs, one of whom is the Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat seem to vindicate that BN leader are very much in fear of PAS’ ability to make real and significant inroads in Sarawak’s political arena. It is only logical to say that this fear is anchored with facts known by BN itself that PAS in Sarawak is without doubt a great competitor to the BN ruling coalition in the last state election. This is proven by the substantial and sizeable votes from the people even with PAS’ tender age in the state and meekly machinery as against to the Goliath BN.

It would only be more sensible for these BN assemblymen to focus more on delivering their election promises to the rakyat and prove themselves to be worthy representatives of their constituents, rather than busying themselves in this endless accusatory politics of no avail, typical of BN leaders. As all are aware, both Santubong and Asajaya as represented by the assemblymen are still largely plagued with poverty and inadequate basic amenities even after 50 years of BN rule in the state. One can only wonder how many more decades are needed by these BN politicians to really make a difference in the lives of the Sarawakians, thanks to their incompetence and ineffectiveness in serving the people.

PAS strongly believes that only through the implementation of  Negara Berkebajikan (Nation of Care & Opportunity), Sarawak can truly be liberated from the chains of poverty and insufficiency towards a just, progressive and prosperous state in which all Sarawakians from all ethnic and religious groups can live harmoniously with each other. Contrary to what has been alleged by YB Abdul Karim, PAS in Sarawak has never promoted disunity amongst the people of Sarawak particularly, amongst the Muslim community. Indeed, the only call which PAS is espousing, is the clarion call for the Sarawak people of all races to unite against the corruption and injustice perpetrated by BN for the past 50 years.

It invites great disappointment to see a Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat to be very much misinformed or rather uninformed of the real statistics about Kedah and Kelantan, both of which are successfully governed by PAS. To the frustration of YB Wan Junaidi, Sarawak PAS Youth would like to enlighten the honourable Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat of the data as furnished by the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) of the Prime Minister’s Office which clearly shows that Kelantan has fewer incidence of poverty at only 4.8% in comparison to the bountiful state of Sarawak with 5.3%. Although Kedah recorded 5.3% incidence of poverty similar to Sarawak in 2009, this PAS state has only 0.8% incidence of hardcore poverty while Sarawak registered 1.0% in hardcore poverty. It is even more commendable that Kelantan has in fact, triumphantly reduced its incidence of poverty by 25% from 1989 until 2009 whilst Sarawak has only been able to reduce this by 16% within the same period. At the same time, both Kedah and Kelantan managed to reduce their hardcore poverty levels by 8% and 6% respectively, while Sarawak has only managed to reduce its hardcore poverty level by an embarrassingly minimal 2%. This is despite of the incessant sanctions of grants and lack of financial support from the BN Federal Government towards Kedah and Kelantan.  Furthermore, in terms of income inequality in Sarawak as measured by Gini Coefficient, this land of abundance stood second after Sabah as the most unequal state in Malaysia. With all these hard facts, no sane man can accuse that Kedah and Kelantan are ‘at a loss’. In fact, PAS has yet again proven to the people that it can govern effectively for the benefit of the rakyat.

As said by YB Abdul Karim, ‘Talk is cheap’ and that is exactly what BN leaders have been doing for the past 50 years without delivering enough to the deserving people of Sarawak. As for PAS, we are here to stay and will continue to fight for the welfare and justice of the brave people of this great Sarawak against the corrupt BN leaders. God-willing, together with our partners in Pakatan Rakyat, a new prosperous Sarawak shall be a reality.

Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim dibebaskan : PAS Sarawak menyambut baik keputusan mahkamah

Dewan Pemuda PAS Sarawak hari ini menyambut baik keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi yang telah memutuskan bahawa Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim tidak bersalah di atas tuduhan meliwat Saiful Bukhari.

Dari segi undang-undang memang didapati bahawa Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim memang tidak bersalah kerana bukti yang ditunjukkan tidak mencukupi iaitu DNA dan oral- lisan yang mana tidak boleh disabitkan kesalahan.

Jesteru itu, Dewan Pemuda PAS Negeri Sarawak melihat bahawa isu ini seharusnya diperjuangkan bukan atas dasar semata-mata Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim merupakan ketua pembangkang tetapi beliau adalah merupakan salah seorang rakyat Malaysia yang mempunyai hak untuk bersuara dan mempertahankan dirinya.

Apa yang menjadi persoalannya ialah, siapakah yang sebenarnya meliwat Saiful Bukhari setelah keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi memihak kepada Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim didapati tidak bersalah setelah hampir 3 tahun kes ini dibicarakan.

PEMUDA PAS SARAWAK : SINAR KEBANGKITAN TAHUN 2012

Sedar tidak sedar, kini tahun 2011 baru sahaja melabuhkan tirai masanya. Tahun 2012 pula akan memulakan pusingan masanya menggantikan sorotan waktu lalu yang tidak mungkin akan berundur semula.

Mengimbau kembali detik lintasan tahun 2011 yang lepas, Dewan Pemuda PAS Sarawak mengharungi banyak pengalaman yang mungkin tidak akan dilupakan sebagai pengajaran dan bekalan ilmu di masa akan datang.

IMPAK 2.0 yang dirasmikan oleh Ustaz Nik Abduh Nik Aziz

Sepanjang tahun 2011, banyak aktiviti dan program yang telah dilaksanakan oleh Dewan Pemuda PAS Sarawak bagi merancakkan lagi suasana politik Malaysia khususnya di Sarawak. Antara program rasmi yang menjadi sejarah penting yang berlaku pada tahun 2011 ialah :

1. Pilihanraya Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak Ke-13

2. Isu Hak Tanah Adat Rakyat Sarawak (HAK 2011)

3. Muktamar Pemuda PAS Sarawk Ke-7

4. Ijtima’ Pemuda PAS Sarawak (IMPAK 2.0)

Usrah riadah pemuda

Selain itu, aktiviti dalaman parti di setiap kawasan juga diperkasakan bagi menguatkan ruh tarbiyah setiap ahli gerakan yang bertungkus lumus dalam menggerakkan parti.

Edaran bubur lambuk kepada masyarakat

Juga, aktiviti kemasyarakatan diperhebatkan di setiap kawasan untuk mendekatkan diri kepada rakyat dan secara langsung memperkenalkan PAS adalah sebuah parti yang mesra rakyat. Antara aktiviti yang telah dilaksanakan adalah seperti:


1. Siarah ukhuwah

2.            2.  Sumbangan kepada fakir miskin

3.            3. Edaran bubur lambuk dan lain-lain lagi.

Sebenarnya, banyak lagi yang perlu diusahakan secara semaksima mungkin untuk memastikan bahawa objektif sebenar yang ingin dibawa oleh Dewan Pemuda PAS Sarawak dapat dipamerkan kepada rakyat Sarawak secara langsung.

Dewan Pemuda PAS Sarawak berharap agar tahun 2011 menjadi tahun yang bermanfaat dan semakin mematangkan Pemuda PAS untuk tahun yang mendatang. Mudah-mudahan segala usaha murni yang dilaksanakan oleh Dewan Pemuda PAS Sarawak terus disokong oleh rakyat dan mendapat keredhaan dari Allah swt.

Menjelang tahun baru 2012 yang mula menjengah ini, Dewan Pemuda PAS Sarawak akan menjanjikan kejutan yang lebih istimewa dari tahun sebelumnya terutama dalam usaha untuk menguasai media massa Sarawak.

Akhir kata, salam mahabbah. Bersama menuju ke Negara Berkebajikan.
