Perhaps
2008 is the turning point of Malaysian history. The changes of
political situation, the international food crisis and the fuel hike
crisis have tremendously brought significant changes to the people’s
lives. Apart from that, in the future, these crises will also serve as
a challenge to test the political and economical systems of our country
on its capacity to solve them.
Thus,
the Economic and Social Unit of KLSCAH, Youth Section of KLSCAH, the
Social and Economic Committee of Selangor Hokkien Association, the
Social and Economic Committee of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Teochew
Association and SUARAM joint organise a forum on "Petrol Hike, What
Next for Malaysia?" so as to analyze these crises thoroughly and look for their solutions.
Content :
1. Economic impact:
How will the jump in the petrol rates bring impact on the whole
economic situation? What is the trend of inflation? What are the
advantages and disadvantages of the control and subsidy systems?
2. Low economic efficiency, political corruptions and evaluation of the TNB policy:
How do the political corruptions and low economic efficiency affect the
economy and the people in our country? The energy consumption of the
people in our country is five times more than the Japanese.
3. Mass Transit Policy:
The rise of the petrol price saved RM 4.4 billion in 2006. However,
until now, the result has not brought into the open. How far is the
Mass Transit Policy been carried out?
4. Social impact and the situation of the lower class people: How does the government deal with the effects of inflation towards the poor or lower class people.
Should
you have further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact Mr Teh or

继上周在甘文丁举行千人守夜集会，废除内安法令联盟（GMI）再接再厉，宣布在6月28日假雪兰莪沙亚南玛拉瓦迪（Malawati）体育馆举行万人大集会，持续向政府施压，要求即刻废除内安法令，同时释放所有被扣留者。
废除内安法令联盟主席赛依布拉欣（Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh，右图）今早11时假隆雪华堂召开记者会，呼吁所有支持废除内安法令的国民，踊跃出席这场“红黑和平集会”。
废除内安法令联盟行动主任诺莱拉（Norlaila Othman，左图）表示，他们估计会有1万5千人出席当天的和平集会。
“槟城观察网站”负责人黄文强（右图）提醒，在这次油价飙涨风波里，人们除了应有经济和环保面向的关怀外，更重要的工作在于恢复政府的良好施政。因为有了良好施政，无论面对出口或入口石油的情况，人民都能够美好地生活。
黄文强是在昨晚的“油价飙涨，大马何去何从？”讲座上如是表示。其他的主讲人包括资深经济分析员白文春、行动党八打灵北区国会议员潘俭伟和时事评论人刘敬文。主持人则是隆雪华堂社会经济委员会委员杨安泰。
他进一步揭露，尽管政府口口声声要提升公共交通，但实际施政却往往反其道而行，花大笔金钱推行鼓励私人交通的建设，如在槟城，动用48亿令吉来兴建第二槟威大桥、10亿来兴建外环高速公路，但是却不愿投资更为廉宜的公共巴士系统。
