Sejak minggu lepas, isu penurunan ketara pelaburan asing (FDI) ke Malaysia menjadi isu hangat.

Lebih-lebih lagi setelah kita sering dengar negara-negara jiran seperti Indonesia, Singapura, Thailand dan Vietnam asyik melaporkan pelaburan asing baru daripada syarikat terkenal dunia seperti Google, Tesla dan lain-lain baru-baru ini manakala Malaysia tidak umumkan sebarang pelaburan asing yang signifikan.

Tidak boleh dinafikan bahawa pelaburan langsung asing ke Malaysia telah turun dengan teruk selepas PRU14.

Pada tahun 2017, kita masih ada syarikat minyak terbesar dunia Aramco melabur US$7 bilion di Pengerang, syarikat internet paling besar China, Alibaba dan syarikat kereta Geely-Volvo memlih Malaysia sebagai hub ASEAN, syarikat Alliance Steel membina kilang besi terbesar di rantau ini (salah sebuah kilang di MCKIP Pahang yang dikatakan PH sebagai "jual negara dengan tembok besar Cina" sebelum PRU14 tetapi dikatakan pula antara projek paling penting untuk menarik pelabur asing selepas PRU14), pelaburan asing untuk projek Melaka Gateway, syarikat CCCC serta Prudential umum Malaysia menjadi HQ ASEAN dan lain-lain lagi.

Tapi selepas itu, pengumuman pelaburan asing terbesar ke Malaysia ialah pelancaran dibuat kerajaan PH untuk Bandar Malaysia.

Itupun projek 1MDB masa BN dan pelabur asing tersebut adalah pelabur yang sama masa BN.

Mengikut data rasmi kerajaan, jumlah pelaburan langsung asing jatuh mendadak selepas PRU14.
2015 - RM39.4 bilion
2016 - RM47.1 bilion
2017 - RM40.4 bilion
2018 - RM30.7 bilion
2019 - RM19.6 bilion (setelah tolak RM12.1b dari RM31.7b)***
2020 - RM16 bilion (ramalan pakar)
2021 - RM17 bilion (ramalan pakar)

*** Kerajaan PH secara rasmi umum pelaburan asing bagi tahun 2019 sebanyak RM31.7 bilion. Apabila Menteri Kewayangan umum pelaburan asing bagi suku-1 2019 adalah paling tinggi dalam sejarah, saya mendapati ianya sebenarnya adalah penjualan aset negara iaitu penjualan saham IHH Berhad kepada negara Jepun dan penjualan 50% saham Sapura Upstream kepada Austria bernilai RM12.1 bilion.

Saya pun gelakkan kerajaan PH begitu terdesak untuk mengambil kira penjualan aset negara sebagai pelaburan asing untuk claim kredit.

Perkara ini disahkan Tony Pua setelah saya bongkarkan kerajaan PH ambil kira penjualan aset negara kepada orang asing sebagai pelaburan asing. Lalu Tony jawab bahawa Najib buat yang sama untuk pelaburan US$7 bilion Aramco yang dia sifatkan sebagai penjualan saham oleh Petronas.

Tetapi bezanya ialah Aramco melabur bersama Petronas dalam projek RAPID Pengerang untuk projek yang belum dibina. Setelah dibina, projek itu akan menjana ribuan pekerjaan baru. Manakala penjualan saham-saham IHH Berhad dan Sapura Upstream cuma pertukaran pemilikan sahaja bagi syarikat sedia ada. Tidak satu pekerjaan baru dijana.

"Bawah kamu, Petronas juga jual saham kepada syarikat asing, Tony jawab Najib"

Bukan pelaburan langsung asing sahaja yang telah jahanam tetapi pelaburan asing dalam Bursa Malaysia turut mengalami aliran keluar yang seram sebaik sahaja keputusan PRU14 diketahui.

2017: Aliran MASUK dana asing RM10.3 bilion
Jan-Apr 2018: Aliran MASUK dana asing RM3.1 bilion
Mei-Dis 2018: Aliran KELUAR dana asing RM14.7 bilion
2019: Aliran KELUAR dana asing RM11.2 bilion
2020 (sehingga minggu lepas): Aliran KELUAR dana asing RM25 bilion

Aliran keluar dana asing dari Malaysia adalah paling tinggi antara semua semua negara-negara ASEAN untuk tiga tahun berturut-turut selepas PRU14.

Apabila pelabur pilih negara untuk melabur, mereka akan pertimbangkan:
1) saiz pasaran domestik
2) kos tenaga kerja mahir yang murah
3) halatuju negara
4) infrastruktur negara
5) kestabilan politik negara
6) Sistem perundangan yang adil dan telus
7) kadar cukai korporat.
8) Kecekapan pentadbiran
9) Hubungan diplomasi antara negara yang baik
10) Pemimpin tertinggi negara yang sering cari dan secara aktif membina hubungan peribadi rapat dengan tokoh syarikat asing terbesar seluruh dunia serta pemimpin-pemimpin negara lain.

Akibat PRU14, PH telah menjahanamkan 3) halatuju negara apabila menggantikan Pelan Transformasi Negara yang begitu teratur dan komprehensif kepada pelan Wawasan Kekayaan Bersama 2030 (WBK2030) yang entah siapa tahu apa bendanya.

PH telah bantutkan 4) infrastruktur negara apabila mereka batalkan atau perlambatkan rata-rata projek infrastruktur seperti projek saluran petroleum, LRT3, HSR, MRT2, MRT3, RTS, ECRL, Melaka Gateway, dan Pan Borneo Highway.

Akibat hasutan berdasar kebencian terhadap peribadi dan perkauman, janji-janji manifesto bukan kitab suci, fitnah dan sebagainya PH juga telah hancurkan 5) kestabilan politik negara hari ini.

Walaupun kerajaan PH sudah bertukar tangan menjadi kerajaan PN, ketidakstabilan politik negara masih amat berbahaya dan merupakan antara faktor paling besar kenapa pelabur asing tak masuk.

PH telah menjahanamkan 6) Sistem perundangan yang adil dan telus apabila mereka ganti hampir kesemua jawatan-jawatan penting institusi negara seperti Peguam Negara, Ketua Hakim Negara, Pendakwaraya, ketua SPRM dengan orang-orang mereka supaya sistem perundangan negara digunakan untuk menyeksa dan mengenakan lawan politik mereka.

Pada tahun 2006, kadar cukai korporat Malaysia adalah kedua paling rendah di rantau ASEAN.
- Singapura 17%
- Malaysia 28%
- Vietnam 28%
- Thailand 30%
- Indonesia 30%

Kadar cukai korporat USA lagi tinggi, iaitu 35%.

Tahun 2020 ini, kadar cukai korporat Malaysia menjadi paling tinggi. Malah, USA menjadi lebih rendah berbanding kita.
- Singapura 17%
- Vietnam 20%
- Thailand 20%
- USA (bukan ASEAN)
- Indonesia 22%
- Malaysia 24%

PH telah menghalang rancangan kerajaan BN dahulu untuk terus mengurangkan 7) kadar cukai korporat Malaysia kepada 20% supaya kita masih kompetitif dengan negara-negara jiran apabila PH mansuhkan GST dan naikkan semula kebergantungan negara kepada hasil petroleum pada ketika harga minyak dunia turun.

"GST adalah lebih saksama dan progresif. Semakin banyak yang anda gunakan, semakin banyak yang anda bayar. Kerana GST, kami dapat mengurangkan cukai korporat dan cukai pendapatan peribadi," kata Perdana Menteri.
"Oktober 26, 2017: Hapus GST satu langkah ke belakang - Najib"
https://www.bharian.com.my/berita/nasional/...-belakang-najib

Akhirnya, PH rosakkan 8) kecekapan pentadbiran dengan melantik para-para akauntan gagal, mat tak lepas kursus kulinari, pelawak yang tidur tepi jalan, mereka yang tipu sijil, pemfitnah yang terus menipu rakyat untuk menjadi menteri-menteri manakala PM pula adalah seorang yang kaki cari gaduh merata dunia dengan idea yang ketinggalan zaman 20 tahun.

Hatta, masa depan negara kita agak malar pada masa kini jika kesemua ini tidak diperbetulkan sebab faktor 1) saiz pasaran domestik adalah di luar kawalan kerajaan.

Untuk faktor 2) Kos tenaga kerja mahir yang rendah, adakah Rakyat Malaysia sanggup terus ikat perut untuk menerima gaji yang rendah dan jangan iri hati orang kaya seperti sering disaran Tun Mahathir?

Antara 10 faktor utama untuk tarik pelaburan, PH sudah hancurkan 8.

Dan jika kesemua faktor-faktor diatas itu tidak diperbetulkan pada masa yang singkat maka pelaburan asing ke Malaysia berbanding negara-negara jiran bagi tahun-tahun mendatang agak malap.

don't care.

covid> all

Everything blame PH lmao

PN is really trash cannot do things

Jakum OT?
Gaji belapa
Nak apply

bad sign

kecian TS, have to putar halim blame others on Good long weekend, working hard for Jasa?

everyone enjoice holiday, you waste time bullshiting. Kecian.

So what has PN contributed?? NOTHING!!!

Jasa start working already

but who so free entertain all these bullshits, really have no life.

i have 1.ekar land.

can taman ubi kayu

Diam la mr tak tau

Everyone by now looking forward to the long weekend, planning for the holidays.

TS on the other hand busy creating spin articles, with links scattered all around to make it seems this article was sourced from reliable news site, padahal only a few sentence from his post related to the link he posted.

While others wake up to the sight of their loving family and friends, TS focus on creating shit stirring articles to rile up racial sentiment.

While we feed our families with our honest hard earn money, I wonder how TS can face his family at dinner and proudly tell them "Today I spin some news and stir up our countries racial sentiment, I hope you're proud of me papa mama!"

FU TS, and happy holidays!

Wow. Although I agree most times with his points he really slyly slips in numbers here and there to gloss over certain facts. From the tail-end of 2018 to 2019 the global economy was already slowing down, exacerbated by the trade war. Just check the GDP growth numbers for 2019 and last quarter of 2018. Sure PH fucked up but when sentiments have been slowly turning cautious and Conservative you expect alot of investments to come in?

PH is shit.. everyone know.
What u expect from 22mth gov . with Malaysia bangkrap slogan

Malaysia has lost it’s edge

Soon to be the Bangla of ASEAN

Seriously, if PN / BN / PH / whoever is so hebat, then JUST FIX IT dammit

Apa hairan when u have a super sampah traitor racist backdoor government

Definitely in decay (as per the article).

Rotten to core, in fact.

Dont worry TS, i believe our trio Ministers (Azmin, Zafrul, Mustapa) will restore the foreign investors confidence to Malaysia soon

Fix what? It takes decades to build the nation up like what Lee Kuan Yew did. And the problem is the rate of technological change is so fast, it's pretty hard to fix the problem.

And we CAN NEVER fix the problem due to the culture and mentality of the majority. When you don't abide by meritocracy, you can kiss Malaysia goodbye.

People forget Assmin is the minister in charge ke for both PH and PN?

Anyway, issue R&R lebih penting. We don't need much FDI.

Janji tangkap orang kahwin style lain.

TS

In assmin we trust. And WKS

Lupa bro. Rakyat mudah lupa. Someone azmin did nothing during PH time. Machai only blame LGE FM when FDI dropped.

Why incompetent student always like to say good student was cheating...

DS Azmin just laughing at you. He always said Malaysia economy in good shape since GE14 until now. LOL.

Next year already GE15.

sial jkom buat kerja sampai sini. anjir si pudin belon!!

Rm16 bil forecasted in 2020= lowest ever

Sure blame it on covid but neighbouring countries receiving FDI in record numbers.

Cannot blame investors. Politically unstable country with sampah ministers. Multi racial country but taken over by one race via backdoor.

Malaysia Truly Asia? Malaysia Truly Melayu more like it

TS Sampah

bestnya dapat gaji JASA

nanti ada bonus tak?

There's just better opportunities for MNCs in Indonesia and Thailand tbh.

Malaysia literally offers nothing in comparison.

In fact, we're regressing to those small Taliban villages you see in American action movies. Pretty soon the only FDIs we'll see are food aid drops from UN relief planes.

So how? Wat solutions?

When you prioritize political gimmicks riding on religion...

Just for comparison:

Singapore received about 20X more FDI in 2019:
- FDI for 2019 was US$105.47B (~RM 430 billion)
- FDI for 2018 was US$91.04B
- FDI for 2017 was US$97.77B
- FDI for 2016 was US$70.72B

The stagnation seems to happen after GE14. PN is just YOLO songlap as much before next election.

I don't expect anything to be fixed in this lifetime ...

The real elephant in the room is racial politics, and no politician dares to touch the issue

Yes. Even Tunku Abdul Rahman had a hard time dealing with it. There was a time when we could have made things work but we failed.

I really wonder if Singapore and Lee Kuan Yew had stayed in Malaysia, whether we could have made a real difference. But I think not.

In the end, Lee Kuan Yew forged a better path for Singapore. They were lucky they had a true statesman. We were unlucky, we got ATUK instead.

Farkk Atuk, farrkk Abah, farrkkk them all

Janji Oren Kito' yg pegang kuasa. Tak kesah

They seem to forget it all went downhill right after 1MDB went into overdrive thanks to bijan and bikmama

Problem is Malaysia is FOOKed even without them. The Malaysian bureaucracy is already corrupted to the core. To fix it, requires almost authoritarian rule by the right person. Just like what Lee Kuan Yew did in the 1960s to 80s.

I knew the civil service was corrupt but those corrupt ones even when the extent of approving non-halal meat and maybe corpse meat as HALAL to sell to their own people. Whilst professing to be all holy and pious.

I mean, since they're so religious, want to songlap, do it in other areas lah. Why own religion also want to kacau?

Nah.... 1MDB is just the straw that broke the camel's back. Things were way worst than that. We had a continuous succession of scandals and bad decisions.

It's just terrible that GE14 was a monumental failure on opposition part... due to ATUK. Things will just get worst in GE15 and beyond.

Balik balik nak ckp psl IHH

IHH tu saham keramat ke tak blh nak jual?

Klu jual saham tu, KKM tak blh nak function ke?

Tp bila najib jual power plant 100% kat CCP company,

bkn China private owned company ye. CCP gomen owned company.

Literally jual part of our power generation capabilities to CCP control.

tak pulak dia complain.

This is what is truly meant by riding on the coattails of religion, pretend to be all holy and righteous but can swindle / steal / bribe etc

Country is effed for the long term, like the article put it ie investments down, education system is purposely shit to keep the masses as stupid as possible, rely on foreign labor to try and keep prices low, massive irreversible brain drain

Coffers are drying up, but maybe there might still be some glimmer next year as crude and palm oil prices are rising again. Nevertheless, relying on commodities is cyclical and will just promote more leakages when times are good

Covid has really exposed everything, but the majority of people are basically just trying to scrape by, so they have no time to reflect on all this

janji orang kiter pegang....

With all the not so bright minsters, ayam surprise if fdi not going down.

500 countries not supporting ah? Tiktok can't promote ah? Suara doremon not making the men working harder ah?

Regressing? Now why am I not surprised. Saw it coming wayyyyyyyyyyy before this

Yes, COVID-19 exposes our vulnerabilities esp. the foreign worker issues.

We need GREAT LEADERS that can make hard and difficult decisions. Unfortunately, everything is highly politicised, so things can't change. I think we're already caught in a death spiral.

If we want to be very frank, why are the majority of Malays unemployed in the private sector? Why can't they find jobs overseas?

It's because our education system is not based on meritocracy. It's fine to allow FREE EDUCATION for all or even SUBSIDISE education for Malays. But it's not right to:

1. Game the system by setting lower standards based on color;
2. Change the language of instruction from English to BM.

If the Govt has the guts to implement proper educational standards based on meritocracy and medium of instruction to English... And ensure teachers are dedicated and themselves well educated, we can see good results maybe in a decade or two.

But it's a pipe dream... we won't change. Cos it's too highly politicised. In fact, we're going backwards, more focus on religion rather than Maths/Science/AI.

Goh Report

In August 1978, then Deputy Prime Minister Goh Keng Swee was tasked to lead a study team to identify problems in Singapore’s education system and propose solutions for reform.[1] The government was of the view at the time that a thorough review was crucial to align the education system with the rapidly changing social and economic needs of the country.[2] A key aim of the exercise was to consider how education policies and their implementation could be made more flexible to enable each child to learn at a pace suited to his or her ability.[3]

Submitted on 9 February 1979, the Report on the Ministry of Education 1978 (also known as the Goh Report) identified three main shortcomings in the education system, namely, high education wastage, low levels of literacy and ineffective bilingualism.[4] These problems stemmed largely from the peculiar situation created by existing bilingual policy in which the languages of instruction (primarily English and Mandarin) were not spoken at home by some 85 percent of school children.[5] This troubling state of affairs was exacerbated by the switch from Chinese-stream to English-stream education over the preceding two decades, which witnessed the accelerated establishment of English-stream schools, along with the mass recruitment and training of new teachers to the detriment of the quality of teaching.[6]

The Goh Report pinpointed weaknesses in the policies, systems and procedures of the Ministry of Education (MOE). Foremost was the failure of the education system, with its rigid and uniform curriculum, to cater to differences in absorption capacities and rates of learning among students.[7] Another factor was the lack of long-term planning and specific objectives to guide the curriculum, for example, there was no clear definition of “effective bilingualism”.[8]

Having identified the problems in education and their underlying causes, the study team proposed several recommendations that became the basis of the New Education System (NES).[9] Among the major changes brought about by the Goh Report was the streaming of pupils into different courses at the upper primary and secondary levels depending on their language proficiencies and academic abilities at Primary 3 and Primary 6 respectively.[10] The report also made recommendations to improve the organisational effectiveness of the MOE, one outcome of which was the establishment of the Curriculum Development Institute of Singapore (CDIS), which began operations in June 1980.[11]

The Goh Report was endorsed by parliament on 30 March 1979.[12]
