Guan Eng: RM6.7mil for a 1Malaysia store?


Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has questioned a outrageous grant for a mere 57 Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia (KR1M) outlets in Sabah as well as Sarawak in Budget 2013, which works out to a towering RM6.7 million per store.

"In 2012, (Prime Minister) Najib Abdul Razak voiced a environment up of 85 KR1M stores in peninsula Malaysia with an grant of RM40 million. This works out to RM470,000 per store.

NONE"For Budget 2013, a environment up of 57 KR1M stores in Sabah as well as Sarawak costs RM386 million or RM6.7 million per store, which is an increase of fifteen times in a price of a single KR1M store of RM470,000 in peninsula Malaysia," he said.

Lim queried because would a KR1M stores which sell usually basic necessities similar to sugar, rice as well as salt price millions of ringgit.

"Or have been a KR1M store also offered products similar to engineer handbags, bullion as well as diamond jewellery?" he said.

'Gov't hid physical phenomenon price tag h! ike'

Lim also indicted a supervision of attempting to hide a intention to increase power price tag in a budget, pointing out which Energy, Green Technology as well as Water Minister Peter Chin had yesterday admitted which a travel was unavoidable due to climbing general fuel prices.

"Such an acknowledgment by Peter Chin is shocking as this should be enclosed by any obliged supervision in a 2013 Budget.

"If a travel in physical phenomenon tariffs is inevitable, because then was this not voiced in a 2013 Budget presented by Najib u! pon Sept 28, 2012," he said.

Aside from lacking transparency, Lim pronounced which a supervision bill is now into a 16th year of deficit, with a total debt during a top level in story during RM502.4 billion.

"And this RM502.4 billion debt does not even include contingent liabilities estimated during more than RM110 billion, which have been not officially upon a books," he said.

Yet, he added which a supervision was willing to flare outspendingsuch as RM272! .5 milli upon to improve open compensation upon military performance instead of reducing actual crime as well as mending a military force.

"The BN has decided to allocate this money for an dull open relations practice which will usually benefit politically-linked consultants as well as advertisers," he said.

In contrast, Lim pronounced a Pakatan-led Penang supervision had a top ever surpluses in Penang's story in any of a four years it was in power.

"Sustainable debt rebate was adopted as well as (we) managed to cut down a state supervision debt by 95 percent or RM600 million from RM630 million in Mar 2008 to usually RM30 million by end 2011," he said.
