Penubuhan Kaukus Reformasi Ekonomi, Sosial dan Kebajikan.
Arahan yang dikeluarkan semalam oleh Pimpinan Pembangkang bagi meluluskan peringkat dasar Belanjawan 2021 amat mengecewakan banyak pihak. Kami sudahpun bersedia untuk menolak Belanjawan tersebut sehinggalah arahan di minit akhir yang mengikat ahli parlimen Parti Keadilan Rakyat (KEADILAN) mengikut kepatuhan disiplin parti.
Pun demikian, para penyokong kami dengan jelas menyuarakan keperluan membulat tekad dan Istiqamah dalam mempertahan kebajikan, kepentingan rakyat dan negara. Jelas bahawa selaku wakil rakyat pembangkang yang bertanggungjawab, kepercayaan rakyat bukan sahaja harus dihormati tetapi dilunaskan menerusi tindakan sewajarnya.
Ahli Parlimen telah dipilih oleh Rakyat untuk mewakili kepentingan mereka; dan sepanjang menggalas tanggungjawab, jelas bahawa kami tidak sempurna; tetapi perlu terus berusaha memenuhi harapan ramai. Oleh itu, izinkan kami berusaha memperbaiki prestasi menerusi pembentukan kaukus ini.
Setelah semalaman merenung peristiwa Belanjawan, kami telah memutuskan untuk bersama-sama memperjuangkan dan menekuni perincian dasar alternatif yang bertumpu kepada peranan kami selaku wakil-wakil rakyat dari pihak pembangkang.
Belanjawan 2021 gagal menyediakan jaring keselamatan sosial yang mencukupi untuk warga pekerja di Malaysia.
Dengan hanya bertumpu kepada langkah populis gesaan ramai ahli politik berkisar pengeluaran awal KWSP, kerajaan hanya memudahkan laluan penabung menggunakan dana simpanan masa depan, bukannya melakukan sedaya upaya untuk membantu rakyat menabung.
43% daripada senarai pencarum di bawah umur 55 tahun, mempunyai simpanan kurang daripada RM 10 ribu melalui Akaun 1. Dengan simpanan yang tidak bertambah, pihak Kerajaan lebih rela membiarkan rakyat menikmati kehidupan persaraan dengan pendapatan yang tidak lebih daripada RM 41 sebulan selama dua puluh tahun yang mendatang. Sebaiknya kerajaan dahulukan dana, selamatkan simpanan rakyat.
Terdapat juga kekurangan fokus kepada penjanaan peluang pekerjaan yang kalis masa depan, termasuk kalis pandemik COVID-19 dan krisis ekonomi berikutnya. Keadaan ekonomi dijangka bertambah buruk menjelang 2021.
Belanjawan yang hanya menabur janji- janji melalui hasil pendapatan dan memotong sebegitu banyak kemudahan penting yang pastinya tidak memenuhi keperluan Rakyat. Ini menjurus ke arah permasalahan yang lebih besar apabila terus dimainkan seperti kesan terhadap perang pemerdagangan global dan komitmen dalam menangani cabaran perubahan iklim.
Kaukus ini percaya bahawa Kerajaan pada masa ini mesti memberi tumpuan kepada kesiap-siagaan dasar yang konkrit dan terperinci mengenai isu-isu utama semasa:
- Peluang Pekerjaan yang Menepati Keperluan Masa Depan
- Perjanjian Baharu yang Hijau
- Perluasan Jaringan Keselamatan Sosial
Sebagai Ahli Parlimen, semestinya mewakili komponen koalisi di dalam Dewan Rakyat. Bahkan, sebagai anggota Pembangkang dalam demokrasi berparlimen, Ahli Parlimen bertanggungjawab dalam menyediakan asas sistem semak dan imbang yang secukupnya dalam mengekang keboborokan pihak kerajaan.
Kita juga tidak boleh mengkesampingkan isu keadilan sosial dan anti rasuah yang dijuarai oleh KEADILAN, yakni selama ini banyak diangkat oleh para penyokong kita. Inilah prinsip-prinsip yang akan terus diperjuangkan sebagai pembuat dasar pembangkang yang teguh, untuk menjulang bakti dan kesetiaan kepada Raja dan negara.

The Setting Up of the Economic, Social and Welfare Caucus
Yesterday’s directive by leaders of the Opposition to pass the Budget came as a disappointment to many.
We ourselves were ready to vote down the budget until the last-minute instructions to stand down, which we adhered to as per the conventions of party discipline.
However, our supporters have made it emphatically clear that it is crucial to be dictated by our conscience in matters of national importance. We want to honour that trust placed in us and act accordingly.
Members of Parliament were voted in by the Rakyat to represent their interests. Along the way we fell short of fulfilling expectations. It is therefore incumbent upon us to rectify matters and acknowledge our shortfalls, which we intend to do through the creation of this Caucus.
Having spent the night reflecting on the Budget vote, we have decided to come together to champion clear-cut policy alternatives by diligently performing our role as opposition lawmakers.
Budget 2021 failed to provide sufficient social safety nets for the underprivileged in Malaysia. With interventions such as early EPF withdrawal, the government is forcing people to borrow from their future instead of providing the necessary support today.
43% of EPF contributors under the age of 55 have less than RM10,000 in their Account 1. Especially during a time when savings have not increased, the Government is more than willing to let people borrow from their future of RM41/ month for the next 20 years. The government should prioritise providing relief funds instead in order to protect our savings and future-proof our retirement.
There is also a lack of focus on job creation especially at a time when many Malaysians have been forced out of work as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic crisis. This situation is only going to worsen in 2021.
A Budget that overpromises on revenue and undercuts vital services is not one that serves the needs of the Rakyat. It also does not address the bigger issues at play such as taking advantage of the global trade war and addressing the challenges of climate change.
This Caucus believes that the Government of the day must focus on providing concrete and definitive policies on these current key issues:
- Future Centred and Future Proof Job Creation
- A Green New deal
- No one Left Behind, Broadening of Social Safety Nets
As Members of Parliament, we must, first and foremost, represent our constituents in the Dewan Rakyat. As members of the Opposition in a parliamentary democracy, we also have the responsibility of providing sufficient checks and balances against the excesses of the government.
We must also not forget the issues of social justice and anti-corruption that KEADILAN stands for, and for which our many supporters have dedicated themselves to. These are the principles that we will continue to champion as proud opposition members, to manifest service and loyal to King and country.

retirement challenges 在 Lee Hsien Loong Facebook 的最佳解答
Today I handed a valedictory letter to another close comrade, Minister Khaw Boon Wan. He has been in my Cabinets since the beginning, and it is with sadness that I accepted his retirement ahead of this GE.
Boon Wan has made immense contributions to Singapore, and left deep impressions on those he worked with, including me personally as a dear friend. In fact, it was Boon Wan who suggested in 2012 that I venture into social media. But for him you might not even be reading this here on my FB Page!
No task was ever too daunting for Boon Wan. He was in the Ministry of Health when SARS hit us. The hard lessons we learnt from SARS prepared us to deal with COVID-19. Later as the Minister he reformed MediShield and MediSave, and introduced ElderShield, thus keeping healthcare affordable for all Singaporeans.
As Minister of National Development, he ramped up the HDB building programme, reducing BTO waiting times.
As Transport Minister, and later Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure, Boon Wan tackled one of his biggest challenges – the reliability of the MRT system. He succeeded in his own quiet and unassuming way, apparently effortlessly but actually through a prodigious amount of hard work.
Boon Wan had a special knack of explaining nettlesome issues to Singaporeans. His colleagues could always depend on him for generous and sound advice. I am happy that he has agreed to continue sharing his experience and wisdom even after retirement.
On behalf of all Singaporeans, and especially residents in his Sembawang constituency, I thank Boon Wan for all that he has done, and wish him a happy, healthy, and well-deserved rest. We are deeply grateful to him, and his dauntless spirit is an inspiration to us all.

🎗🎗VÍ DỤ
▪️Many developed countries are experiencing substantial increases in life expectancy.
Nhiều quốc gia phát triển đang trải qua sự gia tăng đáng kể trong tuổi thọ.
▪️One of the major challenges of the growing population of elderly people is that it puts a heavy burden on the healthcare system.
Một trong những thách thức lớn của dân số người già ngày càng tăng là nó đặt gánh nặng lớn lên hệ thống chăm sóc sức khỏe.
▪️Older people are more vulnerable to chronic diseases, such as heart attacks or diabetes, that require special medical treatments to be effectively treated.
Người già dễ bị mắc các bệnh mãn tính, chẳng hạn như đau tim hoặc tiểu đường, cần các phương pháp y tế đặc biệt để được điều trị hiệu quả.
▪️The government might have to devote a larger budget to healthcare in order to serve the growing demands of an ageing population.
Chính phủ có thể phải dành một ngân sách lớn hơn cho chăm sóc sức khỏe để phục vụ nhu cầu ngày càng tăng của dân số già.
▪️Another problem facing a country with increasing life expectancy is that there will be an increase in the proportion of retired people claiming pension benefits, and a decline in the percentage of people of working age who pay income taxes.
Một vấn đề khác mà một quốc gia với tuổi thọ tăng phải đối mặt là sẽ có sự gia tăng tỷ lệ người nghỉ hưu hưởng trợ cấp hưu trí, và giảm tỷ lệ người trong độ tuổi lao động phải nộp thuế thu nhập.
▪️The government could implement a range of measures to deal with the problems of increasing life expectancy.
Chính phủ có thể thực hiện một loạt các biện pháp để đối phó với các vấn đề tăng tuổi thọ.
▪️This would help reduce the burden on government spending.
Điều này sẽ giúp giảm gánh nặng chi tiêu của chính phủ.
▪️The combination of higher pension spending and lower tax revenues can seriously affect government spending and the economy as a whole.
Sự kết hợp giữa chi tiêu lương hưu cao hơn và doanh thu thuế thấp hơn có thể ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng đến chi tiêu của chính phủ và toàn bộ nền kinh tế.
▪️When people reach their retirement age, they will have a certain amount of money to take care of themselves without the need to depend on their children or the government.
Khi mọi người đến tuổi nghỉ hưu, họ sẽ có một số tiền nhất định để tự chăm sóc bản thân mà không cần phải phụ thuộc vào con cái hoặc chính phủ.

Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry is scheduled to visit Taiwan on Sept. 6, Washington-based sportswear maker Under Armour said.
It will be Curry’s first trip to Taiwan, which will be the final stop on a five-day tour of Asia. The Golden State Warriors point guard is also to visit Hong Kong and China’s Shengyang and Guangzhou.
Curry is to coach some of the nation’s top high-school basketball point guards attending an Under Armour Basketball Summer Camp, the company said.
Players would learn from Curry’s demonstration of advanced basketball skills and his experience as a professional basketball player, the sponsor said.
Curry was quoted in a statement issued by Under Armour as saying that he is looking forward to visiting his fans this summer.
He said that he would be able to share his passion about basketball with young players in Asia, and he also looked forward to seeing how passionate people are about basketball in different cultures.
Such experiences would empower him to meet the challenges of the upcoming basketball season, he said.
Apart from Curry, three other NBA players have visited Taiwan this summer.
Taiwanese-American player Jeremy Lin (林書豪) visited in June to coach a basketball camp and meet his fans.
Former Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant also arrived in June following his retirement from the professional game.
Kevin Durant visited the nation in the middle of last month after he announced he would be joining the Golden State Warriors.
