Harga naik di sana sini, pemimpin UMNO balun 'free' RM 13 juta, ada Najib kisah...

Jangan dok sedih kerana harga ikan naik bro...apa nak buat awak dah pilih depa Mei lalu....

Pelajar, ibu bapa demo bantah tambang bas naik...

Sekumpulan pelajar dan ibu bapa berhimpun di Bagan Datoh, Perak semalam bagi membantah kenaikan tambang bas yang diumumkan Persatuan Perusahaan Bas Sekolah Hilir Perak minggu lalu.

Laporan Sinar Harian menyebut, ibu bapa dan pelajar dari kawasan Kampung Baru, Kampung Bunga Raya dan juga kawasan ladang sekitar itu antara lainnya mendakwa tertekan dengan “kenaikan tidak munasabah” sehingga RM26 itu.

Laporan itu antara lainnya memetik kenyataan seorang ibu kepada pelajar, M Sudrawali, 42, yang mengaku terperanjat apabila dimaklumkan mengenai kenaikan harga itu oleh pengusaha bas pada minggu lalu.

“Pengusaha bas sekolah mengenakan bayaran sebanyak RM 44.85 bagi seorang pelajar di kawasan estet berbanding sebelum ini RM 32 sebelum ini. Jelas sekali harga baharu dikenakan pengusaha bas membebankan kami(ibu bapa)," dipetik dari Sinar Harian.

Sudrawali mempersoalkan kenaikan tinggi itu kerana harga bahan api petrol dan disel hanya meningkat 20 sen seliter sejak september lalu.

Seorang lagi ibu pelajar, Sulasih Mokhtar, 42 berkata kenaikan tambang itu juga membebankan beliau yang bergantung kepada pendapatan suami untuk membesarkan tujuh orang anak.

"Apa yang merunsingkan kami, dua anak kami masih bersekolah yang menggunakan khidmat bas sekolah tersebut dan terpaksa membelanjakan RM97.78 setiap bulan dan ianya memberi kesan kepada perbelanjaaan kami.

"Jika pengusaha mahu menaikkan kadar tambang bad, biarlah berpatutan  kerana kami disini berpendapatanm kecil, apatah lagi keluarga saya mempunyai ramai anak-anak yang perlu bersekolah," katanya seperti dipetik dalam laporan tersebut.

Seorang lagi penduduk tempatan, Abu Salleh Sabdin, 47, dalam laporan sama mempersoalkan kenaikan tambang berbeza untuk pelajar dari kampung tertentu.

Beliau memberi contoh, pelajar dari kawasan seperti Kampung Tanah Lalang yang melibatkan perjalanan sejauh 19 kilometer pergi balik kini terpaksa membayar sehingga RM56.97 berbanding RM32 sebelum ini.

Laporan itu turut memetik kenyataan Ketua Pemuda PAS Kawasan Bagan Datoh, Mustafa Saifuddin yang berkata kenaikan dikenakan melebihi daripada 40 peratus dari kadar sebelum kenaikan.

"Saya faham kenikan itu selaras dengan kenaikan harga minyak serta servis perlu dilakukan tetapi jangan naikkan  tambang bas sekolah terlalu tinggi dan drastik," katanya.- malaysiakini

With the hike in electricity tariffs,household goods,more Malaysians to be declared bankrupt...

The number of bankrupts in Malaysia is expected to rise following the recent price hikes in electricity tariffs and other household goods, as well as the removal of sugar and fuel subsidies.

Singapore’s Straits Times reported today that last year, more than 60 people were declared bankrupt daily until September, with the figures up from 53 people a day in 2012.

RAM Holdings chief economist Dr Yeah Kim Leng told the daily that following the government’s subsidy rationalisation to address the budget deficit, the number of bankrupts would continue to rise.

“We expect the number of delinquencies to rise, especially among young workers in the private sector who have access to excessive credit via credit cards and personal loans, but may not earn enough that it would be commensurate with their lifestyles.

“The question is, by how much, and that is the worrying part,” he was quoted.

Economists, however, said unserviced loans were at a “manageable level” for the time being. But there are signs of this worsening.

Credit card debt has gone up. The amount owed to banks for longer than six months to November last year stood at RM426.4 million, compared with RM402 million in the same period in 2012, the daily said.

Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency (AKPK) chief executive officer Koid Swee Lian said credit card users also “have themselves to blame”.

“In Malaysia, only about half of the credit cardholders pay above the minimum required amount of 5% of total owed to banks each month, whereas in Japan and Korea, it is 89% and 87% respectively,” she said.

The daily also highlighted that Malaysia’s household debt, which now stands at 83.5% of gross domestic product, is one of the highest in the region as Malaysians “rely heavily on borrowing to purchase homes and cars and for household spending”.

It quoted a man who wanted to be known only as Malik who had amassed RM100,000 debt from seven unpaid credit cards.

The 50-year-old, who earns RM3,000 a month has turned to AKPK for help in managing his finances.

“We just buy day-to-day items – groceries, petrol and car repairs, but since I don’t earn enough to pay for the debt; we use one credit card loan to pay for the other,” he said.

“Before we knew it, we lost control of spending.”

It also highlighted the plight of a 26-year-old salesman who is now struggling to pay off a RM10,000 loan he had taken to foot hospital bills following an accident. He earns RM 2,300 and has no credit cards and he, too, is seeking help from AKPK.

“People like us just don’t earn enough,” he said. “Even insurance is a luxury.”

Since late last year, Putrajaya has embarked on aggressive cost-cutting measures it to rein in a chronic budget deficit, which has left Malaysia’s national debt at just below the critical legal ceiling.

Among others, Putrajaya has reduced fuel subsidies, removed price controls for sugar and increased the excise tax for tobacco.

Electricity tariffs and the assessment rates for Kuala Lumpur properties have also been increased, and Putrajaya is mulling raising toll rates and public transport fares this year.

The goods and services tax, a broad-based consumption tax, was announced during the tabling of Budget 2014 in October and will be implemented in April next year.-TMI
