Don’t expect pump prices to be constantly reduced: Najib
By WONG SAI WAN

LIMA (Peru): The people should not expect the pump prices to be constantly reduced just because crude oil prices had now fallen below US$50 per barrel, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.

He said the Government would stick to its planned review of pump prices every two weeks as this offered some sort of stability.[........]

Back to few months ago when the price of international crude oil was sky high; our Government kept on said they can’t continue subsidy fuel in Malaysia anymore. They also stressed that they wish to let the fuel prices in Malaysia go according global market prices.

Created 11/20/2008 - 19:32

（吉隆坡）巫統笨珍區國會議員阿末瑪士蘭形容，大馬的大城市，如吉隆坡、怡保及檳城已不再像“大馬的城市”，因為土著所擁有的店鋪僅佔15%，但土著卻佔66%大馬人口。

“這些大城市仿佛不像馬來西亞，因為在100家商店中，只有15%是土著所擁有，這是很不公平的！”

阿末瑪士蘭參與2009年財政預算案委員會階段辯論時指出，土著所擁有的店鋪目前僅佔15%、土著中小型企業佔11%、土著出口業者佔26%及土著股權佔19%。

他抨擊政府在過去50年努力協助土著，但至今卻未見成效。 [......]

EPF down from 11% to 8%

PETALING JAYA: Employees can choose to reduce their EPF contributions to increase their disposable income next year. The Government has allowed employees to reduce their contributions by three percentage points from 2009 to 2011. Presently, the employer’s EPF contribution is 12% while employees contribute 11%.

“With the reduction, the total contribution is still at a reasonable rate of 20%, which is 12% from the employer and 8% from employee,” said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Najib, who is also Finance Minister, said if all contributors chose to reduce their contributions, it would come up to RM4.8bil annually.

“Assuming that only 50% of contributors take up the option, private spending is expected to go up by RM2.4bil,” he said.

“A person earning RM2,000 could gain an extra disposable income of RM60 monthly, while one earning RM6,000 will have an extra RM180 to spend.” [......]
