Share KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkata, kerajaan hanya akan menjual tanah kepada rakyat tempatan sekiranya perlu dalam usaha mengurangkan beban hutang negara.
Perdana Menteri berkata, kerajaan tidak akan mengulangi langkah pimpinan terdahulu yang sanggup menjual tanah kerajaan kepada pihak asing.
Beliau berkata, kerajaan yakin dapat mengurangkan beban hutang peninggalan kerajaan terdahulu menerusi beberapa aset termasuk tanah, selepas menjual kapal mewah Equanimity.
“Kami melihat kemungkinan mengurangkan lebih banyak hutang dengan mengenal pasti aset kerajaan yang boleh dijual.
“Kita masih ada beberapa aset (boleh dijual) dan jika perlu, kita akan jual tanah milik kerajaan.
“Namun, sudah tentu kita hanya akan jual tanah kepada rakyat Malaysia, bukan pihak asing. Langkah ini mampu mengurangkan hutang negara.
“Pembangkang boleh membantah, tetapi mereka tidak lagi berkuasa. Ketika memerintah, mereka tidak membantah tanah dijual kepada pihak asing dan hanya sekarang baru mereka sedar,” katanya pada sidang media di lobi Parlimen, hari ini.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditanya mengenai rancangan kerajaan untuk melupuskan aset selepas menjual Equanimity, serta bantahan pembangkang terhadap penjualan aset dan tanah milik kerajaan.
Pada Oktober tahun lalu, Dr Mahathir dilaporkan berkata, kerajaan mempertimbangkan untuk melepaskan aset negara seperti tanah bagi mengurangkan beban untuk membayar hutang ditinggalkan kerajaan terdahulu.
Perdana Menteri berkata, proses mengurangkan hutang negara sedang berjalan manakala jumlah hutang juga sudah menurun.
“Apabila ekonomi berkembang dalam tempoh satu tahun ini, peratusan hutang kepada Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) turut berkurang.
“Kedua, kita sudah berjaya mendapatkan semula sejumlah wang hilang yang disimpan oleh Singapura. Wang itu juga membantu mengurangkan hutang.
“Kita juga berusaha mengurangkan nilai kontrak Laluan Rel Pantai Timur (ECRL) kerana jika tidak teruskan projek itu, kita perlu membayar jumlah pampasan yang tinggi,” katanya 05/04/2019 10:53 AM X Bursalord The message is clear, ecrl will proceed.

SEREMBAN: Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng hints that the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) will include Negri Sembilan, if negotiations with the Chinese government is successful, and the project continues.
The project could go on if negotiations between Council of Eminent Persons chairman Tun Daim Zainuddin and the Chinese government went well and the government could cut the cost down to RM36bil, said Lim.

"If this project cost can be cut down to RM36bil, then it is good news not only for the country, but also for Negri Sembilan. "And I say Negri Sembilan because the route will change and this is good for the state," said Lim at a ceramah in Kuala Sawah near here on Friday night (April 5).
He, however, refused to divulge further about his veiled announcement.
"I ask the press to not ask me about this because I can't say much about it.
"If the negotiations are successful, the route will change and this will be great news for Negri Sembilan.
"If you want good news, please support Pakatan Harapan in forming a clean, democratic, fair and united government," said Lim.
Later, when a reporter asked him to clarify his announcement, the DAP secretary-general simply put a finger to his lips, indicating silence.
He was present in a group ceramah to drum up support for Pakatan candidate in Rantau, Dr S. Streram, in the April 13 polls.
The 688-kilometre ECRL railway track project from Port Klang to Gombak and onwards to Kuantan and Pengkalan Kubor, was put on hold after the Pakatan government came into power in the May 9 general election last year and negotiations on the project cost is currently underway
ECRL to proceed at smaller scale, lower cost KONG SEE HOH / 07 APR 2019 / 17:11 H. ECRL to proceed at smaller scale, lower cost The original proposed route for the ECRL on March 8, 2017. The new route has yet to be revealed. — Bernama FOLLOWING months of negotiations, Malaysia and China have reached an agreement to resume the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project, which was suspended last July.
It will be carried out on a smaller scale, and at a lower cost with some changes to the route, Sin Chew Daily reported today.
The daily learnt that the cost of the project, which was originally tagged at RM66 billion, will be slashed by more than RM10 billion.
A well-placed source told the daily that what the two parties had arrived at was a win-win solution as the re-negotiated project includes new commercial elements, which will bring about greater benefits to local entrepreneurs and people.
It is learnt that an agreement will be signed prior to Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s visit to China at the end of this month, marking the resumption of the project.
The source said Council of Eminent Persons chairman Tun Daim Zainuddin, who is representing Malaysia in the negotiations, will fly to Beijing soon to sign the agreement.
Mahathir is scheduled to visit China from April 24 to 28 at the invitation of Chinese premier Xi Jinping to attend the second Belt and Road Initiative summit.
It is understood that Mahathir will address the summit and emphasise Malaysia’s support for the Belt and Road Initiative.
According to the report, environmental considerations are the main reason that changes will be made to the ECRL route.
