'EPF-for-housing-loan a ploy to censor inhabitant debts'
Pakatan Rakyat members of council again urged a supervision to stop regulating a public's assets in a Employee Provident Fund to fund Barisan Nasional's politically motivated programmes.
In a joint statement, Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua as well as Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar indicted a supervision of manipulating a home loan devise for low-cost as well as affordable housing schemes, saying it was trying to cover up arching inhabitant debts as well as a ploy to censor a debt bearing by arising supervision guarantees instead.
"Instead of arising debt papers, a MoF is attempting to censor a debt bearing by arising supervision guarantees instead. Therefore, a EPF is being asked to lend RM1.5 billion to those who unsuccessful to secure loans from banks, as well as a loans will be in some form 'guaranteed' by a Federal government. This way, a RM1.5 billion will not be reflected as an enlarge Federal supervision debt," they said.
According to a duo, conventionally, welfare programmes should be financed by a Federal supervision by tax revenues, as well as when insufficient, holds could be released to cover a budget's necessity hole.
"Again under normal circumstances, EPF could subscribe to a holds released by a Federal government, as a result in outcome lending to a Federal government," pronounced Pua as well as Izzah.
Direct help for housing
They pronounced it was bizarre for a Federal Territories as well as Urban Well-Being minister Raja Nong Chik Nong Zainal Abidin to announce which EPF would be used to give loans without delay to those who unsuccessful to secure blurb! loans t o squeeze their houses.
"The disproportion between a two approaches is which a Federal supervision is deliberate a low-risk borrower as well as as a result a contributions by Malaysian workers to a EPF have been deliberate safe, whilst a loans to those who unsuccessful to acquire blurb housing loans have been deliberate very high-risk borrowers," a make a difference added.
As such, a government's refusal to issue holds to EPF as it would normally do in this make a difference had raised suspicion which something was amiss.
"We can only conclude which a supervision did not wish to steal without delay from EPF, as well as instead passed a buck to EPF to lend without delay to a low-cost housing purchasers since a supervision does not wish to serve enlarge serve to a much criticised as well as already tall debt levels.
"The Federal supervision debt has reached RM456 billion as during a finish of 2011, which is a 88.4% enlarge from RM242 billion 5 years ago in 2006," a twin said, notice which inhabitant debts would rise serve with mega projects such as a RM53 billion Klang Valley MRT as well as a RM7.1 billion West Coast Expressway.
Pua as well as Izzah additionally forked out which sovereign supervision is regulating "off-balance sheet financing" to censor from public perspective a total debt exposure.
"In fact, as during a finish of 2010, a government's fortuitous liability - i.e. loans which were 'guaranteed' by a supervision though have been not without delay partial of a sovereign supervision debt - has reached RM96.9 billion in 2010, which is a sharp 14.9% enlarge over RM84.3 billion in 2009," they said.
Reminding a Ministry of Finance of a role to guarantee investments by EPF, a twin urged Nong Chik to come clean on why a supervision could not without delay financial housing for a poor.
"The MoF contingency solve a own financial problems as well as not for a Malaysian workers to bear a weight of a BN governme! nt's fol lies," they stressed.
