Implement Reforming Policies To Convince The Professionals Unite All Races To Work For The Betterment Of Malaysia

2010 will be a challenging year, where by our country will face the junction in politics, economy and education.

The Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia Youth Section Chief (FeCAM Youth) Hii Yik Ping hopes that the government led by Dato Seri Najib will practice cross party cooperation to implement all policies that benefit the people, in order to realize the dream of 1 Malaysia.

Meanwhile, The Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia Youth Section also hopes that four states led by Pakatan Rakyat will fulfill what they have promised the people, for instance Freedom of Information Bill, local council election and other democratized policies. This is one key element in order for the country to move towards the era of democracy.

“In the past one year, Malaysia has been suffering from problematic situations resulted from constitutional imbalance, unequal separation of power and political parties which do not respect the spirit of democracy. Perak constitutional crisis, Nasir Safar’s racist remarks, arson attacks on the places of worship and Teoh Beng Hock’s death are all concrete examples to prove the problems.”

However, Hii Yik Ping believes that the people will learn their lessons throughout the process and they will be able to use it when the time comes.

Living standard of the people should be increased in the brand new year. The Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia Youth Section hopes that the people will not have to suffer in the pain of rising commodity prices and inflation. Thus, it is hoped that the Prime Minister will take serious consideration whether to implement Goods and Services Tax (GST), while ensuring the middle lower class are able to survive the petrol hike with the new subsidy system.

Withdrawal of foreign capital and talent drain are two major problems faced by Malaysia in 2009. It is supported by figures revealed by Pemudah Committee Member and National Chamber of Commerce and Industry Deputy President Datuk Pardip Kumar Kukreja, in which 305,358 Malaysian professionals have migrated in 18 months. The UK Financial Times also reported that Malaysia is the top country in Asia with highest amount of foreign capital being withdrawn.

The Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia Youth Section would like to call for those who are planning to leave the country to stay and work together with all races, in order to fight for a better Malaysia.

Action speaks louder than words. The Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia Youth Section urges the Prime Minister to execute all the planning and policies that were introduced to convince the professionals of various fields to stay and work for the betterment of the nation.

As the Chinese New Year is drawing near, The Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia Youth Section wishes the nation all the best in 2010, hoping the people are driven by Prime Minister’s 1 Malaysia towards an era of justice and democracy.
