KUALA LUMPUR (April 2, 2013): A manifesto full of populist promises such as free toll, free education and lower petrol prices will lead to tax increase, reducing subsidies and issuing government bonds, said a Japan-based Malaysian academician.
Shobi University Assoc Prof Chong Fatt Seng said a manifesto with such promises would only burden people financially as it was not supported by a strong strategic policy on how to generate money and revenue for the country. "It will be dangerous for Malaysians to choose a government by not thinking carefully and merely accepting the smaller aspects of the manifesto, and become convinced that populist promises will raise their quality of life.
"Malaysians should look at the wider perspectives of government policies before deciding on their next government.
"They need to focus on what the government has done like implementing sound economic policies and transformation programmes," Chong said.
He said there was no policy more superior than the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) as it aimed to increase people's income and boost the country's economy.
"The ETP will lead the country to achieving higher gross domestic product (GDP) at 5 per cent to 6 per cent.
"This will help Malaysia's economic growth, achieve its Vision 2020 and its plan to become a high-income nation," he noted.
Sharing Japan's experience under the opposition, Chong said populist promises of free tolls had led to poor maintenance of highways, high traffic volumes and increase in accidents in Japan.
"When the Japanese demanded the government to fulfil its manifesto promises, the citizens were asked to wait for a few years before it could implement the promises," he said. – Bernama
为了狙击反对党的竞选宣言，身为政府喉舌的马新社(Bernama)竟然去报道一个默默无名的教授所讲的话。马来西亚是无新闻可报了吗？
Chong Fatt Seng身为教授，竟然不明白国情不同的道理。
马来西亚是个多元种族和拥有丰富的天然资源的国家，而日本则恰好相反。我想请问Chong Fatt Seng先生，从这两大要点来看，马来西亚跟日本能相提并论吗？
