STAR, 11 September 2011
PUTRAJAYA: The Information, Communications and Culture Ministry has “blocked” plans by the telcos to impose a 6% service tax on prepaid mobile phone services.
“I have intimated to the telcos to stop the implementation of the service charge at this untimely hour,” said minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.
“I will raise the issue with the Cabinet on Wednesday,” he said yesterday.
“My ministry does not support the move.”
Dr Rais said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has also been directed to study the mobile operators' licensing regulations on service tax.
“We will see what the regulations state,” he added.
Dr Rais advised the telcos to think about their subscribers, saying that some of the firms had been reaping profits of between RM800mil and RM1.2bil annually.
“They have been earning attractive profits, notwithstanding paying the levy on behalf of subscribers since 1998,” he said.
Meanwhile, Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob also planned to bring the issue up at the Cabinet meeting.
He said there had been numerous calls for the telcos to upgrade their services “which had not been taken seriously”.
“Yet, they now want to impose service tax on customers,” he said.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had on Friday said the plan to impose the service tax from Thursday was not approved by the Finance Ministry, adding that the people were already being burdened by the rising cost of living

Move by telcos to impose 6% tax on prepaid lines comes under fire
STAR, 10 September 2011
KUALA LUMPUR: Calling it difficult to accept, the Prime Minister has joined in the chorus of people against the move by telcos to impose 6% service tax on prepaid mobile phone users.
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the move comes at a time when the Government was trying to ease the burden of the rakyat’s who are already hit by the rise in living costs.
He added the move was not approved by the Finance Ministry as the decision to impose taxes was taken by the telcos themselves.
“I have received many reactions and feedback from the people,” he told reporters yesterday after launching Maybank’s new corporate logo.
“The move to impose the service tax on consumers is very unpopular and difficult to accept.”
MCA Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong said the service tax was a huge burden to the people.He added mobile phones were an essential item to consumers and played a major role in the daily life with most of the prepaid users coming from the lower-income group.
It was reported that from Sept 15 onwards, prepaid users and those purchasing starter kits would need to pay an extra 6% as telcos agreed they would no longer absorb the service tax, which was introduced in 1998.
Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin described the decision as “unreasonable”.
“Boss @NajibRazak, the decision to impose tax on prepaid users is unreasonable and it would burden the rakyat. I oppose it. Please review it,” he tweeted.
PKR vice-president Tian Chua said the Government must intervene immediately to help low-income earners.
He also noted that prepaid plans were unfair to users by design as users paid for their usage up front.
Consumer groups were also up in arms over the increase, which they have lambasted as unfair.
Consumers Association of Penang president S.M. Mohamed Idris called on the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to stall the move.
He added mobile phone prepaid users faced the brunt of unfair terms and conditions imposed on them, especially when the balance in their account was forfeited when they did not reload within the validity period.
He suggested that a prepaid number should have lifetime validity and be activated at the customers convenience.
Muslim Consumers Association Malaysia activist Datuk Nadzim Johan said the increase was unfair and ill-timed when consumers were tightening their belts over the increasing cost of other essential goods.
Fomca secretary-general Muhammad Sha’ani Abdullah said the telcos were already pocketing extra from their customers with their “call block” formula.
“If a telco charges RM0.30 per minute with 30 seconds per block, this means that you pay RM0.15 whether you use the phone for only 10 seconds or 30 seconds,” he said.
“This means the telcos are already making money from the unused seconds. Consumers have already been over-paying for years.”

Husni now says IWK to merge with government unit
Malaysian Insider, 10 September 2011
IPOH, Sept 10 — Putrajaya will merge national sewerage company, Indah Water Konsortium, (IWK) with a government unit, Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah said today, confirming a report by The Malaysian Insider.
Ahmad Husni said the decision was made recently by the National Economic Council.
“The move is an effort to strengthen both entities which are owned by the government. The biggest asset owned by IWK can be redeveloped to benefit the merged entity,” he told reporters after distributing Jalur Gemilang flags to Chemor residents here.
Saying that the merger process had begun, Ahmad Husni, however, declined to disclose the name of the government subsidiary, except to say that IWK would continue to be government-owned after the merger.
IWK is currently wholly-owned by the Ministry of Finance Incorporated.
The Malaysian Insider reported on Thursday that IWK would be privatised into a consortium led by strategic investment agency 1MDB, some 11 years after the government was forced to bail out the national sewerage company from financial difficulties under its previous owners.
Finance Ministry sources told The Malaysian Insider that the 1MDB-led consortium will include water distribution company Puncak Niaga, and that the deal has been given the nod by the Economic Council chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
However, it is understood that some ministry officials are still scrutinising the deal amidst concerns about its feasibility and worries over whether the government could once again be forced to bail out the company if the latest plan fails.
Under the proposed deal, the 1MDB consortium will acquire IWK for RM1 and take over its debts which include more than RM1.5 billion in loans still owed to the ministry.
The consortium is seeking a 60-year concession from the government and will only pay back the principal amount and interest on the loan over the long term.

IWK to be privatised to 1MDB
By Leslie Lau
Malaysian Insider, 8 September 2011
Malaysian Insider, 8 September 2011
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 — Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) is expected to be privatised soon to a consortium led by strategic investment agency 1MDB, some 11 years after the government was forced to bail out the national sewerage company from financial difficulties under its previous owners, according to sources in the Finance Ministry.
The sources told The Malaysian Insider that the 1MDB-led consortium will include water distribution company Puncak Niaga, and that the deal has been given the nod by the Economic Council chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
However, it is understood that some ministry officials are still scrutinising the deal because of concerns about its feasibility and worries that the government could once again be forced to bail out the company if the latest plan fails.
Under the proposed deal, the 1MDB consortium will acquire IWK for RM1 and take over its debts which include more than RM1.5 billion in loans still owed to the ministry.
The consortium is seeking a 60-year concession from the government and will only pay back the principal amount and interest on the loan over the long term.
It also has plans to link sewerage charges to water usage.
The plan could spark a new round of controversy because of the lack of transparency surrounding negotiations, with consumers still wary about deals involving IWK.
From Day One, IWK has had problems convincing a sceptical public to pay for separate sewerage charges which had previously been part of the water bill.
In 2000, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s administration paid nearly RM200 million to nationalise IWK to “safeguard public interest and to avoid service disruptions.”
The nationalisation of IWK was to tackle the company’s debt then of nearly RM700 million.
IWK’s bailout in 2000 exemplified the pitfalls of Dr Mahathir’s privatisation policy in which government-owned assets or resources were allocated or sold to private investors in the hopes of generating profits.
The IWK story began in 1993 when businessman Tan Sri Vincent Tan convinced the government to let a consortium of private interests led by him to take over the ownership, operation and maintenance of more than 2,800 state-owned sewage-treatment plants nationwide.
But IWK subsequently found that many of the treatment plants it inherited from the government were not functioning and costs began escalating.
A nationwide furore also ensued, with many consumers and businesses complaining bitterly about IWK.
Maintaining the plants and staying profitable proved impossible for IWK.
Under pressure, the government also forced the company to reduce its charges.
By 2000 Dr Mahathir’s government then decided to nationalise IWK.
The Najib government’s new plan could attract similar criticisms because it involves 1MDB and Puncak Niaga, a company that is seen as politically connected to Putrajaya.

Prasarana reserves ‘at least’ 30pc of MRT for Bumi contractors
Malaysian Insider, 23 August 2011
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23 — Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd will reserve at least 30 per cent of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) construction packages for Bumiputera contractors.
Abdul Malik Azman, Prasarana’s head of MRT Procurement Management Department, told The Malaysian Insider today that the quota for Bumiputera contractors was part of the government’s “national agenda.”
“We have this Bumiputera agenda approved by the MOF (Finance Ministry).
“At least 30 per cent of packages should be allocated for Bumis. This is the national agenda,” he told The Malaysian Insider after a briefing for pre-qualified contractors at Prasarana’s office here today.
In May, Prasarana had caved in to pressure from Malay rights groups when it revised pre-qualification criteria for several construction packages.
The project owner had said then that contractors who wanted to tender for elevated civil works, stations and depots work construction packages would be allowed to form joint ventures (JV) or consortiums among local companies.
Twenty-eight firms including heavyweights such as Sunway, IJM and MRCB have been shortlisted for the construction of the first phase of the KVMRT project
The works packages were divided into two categories: Open and Bumiputera.
The value for contracts under the Bumiputera category is about RM250 million per package, based on the last briefing to contractors by Prasarana in May.
Abdul Malik said today that there were 18 work packages, comprising eight packages for elevated civil works, eight packages for stations and two packages for depots.
He said six out of the 16 packages for elevated civil works and stations, as well as the Kajang depot work package, were reserved for Bumiputeras.
“A few Bumis here can (also) bid in the Open category. (They can go) fishing in the pond and ocean. They have more chances,” said Abdul Malik.
He pointed out that Trans Resources Corporation Sdn Bhd, Ahmad Zaki Sdn Bhd and MTD Construction Sdn Bhd could bid for all eight elevated civil works packages.
Trans Resources Corporation and Naim Engineering Sdn Bhd could bid for all eight stations and both Sg Buloh and Kajang depot work packages, he added.
Abdul Malik told a press conference earlier today that winning contractors would be picked based on their financial capabilities, their equipment and “realistic” offers.
The Prasarana official, however, refused to specify what he meant by a “realistic” price, saying: “If we say, we might not get a competitive price.”
He added that the first two elevated civil works packages, which are a 5.2km viaduct from Taman Bukit Ria to Phoenix Plaza in Cheras and another 5.4km viaduct from Phoenix Plaza to Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, would be awarded in January or February next year, and construction of the multi-billion ringgit rail project would start.

Najib: Tajuddin intervention ‘off-site’ solution, not settlement

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak defended his administration’s intervention in Tan Sri Tajuddin Ramli’s civil cases, saying today that the move should be seen as an “off-site” solution. The prime minister said that Putrajaya’s letter to all government-linked companies seeking for them to withdraw their suits against the former Malaysia Airlines (MAS) chairman should not be “misconstrued” as an out-of-court settlement.
“It can’t be misconstrued as a settlement out of court… this is a discussion to find positive solution off- site,” he told reporters today. He did not, however, elaborate on what he meant by the phrase.
Najib also stressed that the matter was not finalised and was still in the “process of discussion.”
“We are aware of our position and we hope are hoping for positive outcome,” the PM added.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has insisted that the government’s intervention in Tajuddin’s cases could save the government billions in legal claims.
The letter to the GLCs, said Nazri, was not an order set in stone and did not outline any commitment on behalf of the companies stipulating that Tajuddin would walk away scot-free.
Nazri had told The Malaysian Insider yesterday that he had written to GLCs earlier this month seeking for them to withdraw their suits, worth at least RM2 billion, to buy time for all concerned parties to reach a “win-win” agreement and put an end to the prolonged financial saga involving Tajuddin.
The Padang Rengas MP had listed the three main parties involved in suits against Tajuddin — MAS, Telekom Malaysia and Prokhas Sdn Bhd — and said the government-linked entities can still choose to proceed with their suits if they felt they had a strong case against him.
Tajuddin was a protégé of Tun Daim Zainuddin, a close friend of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and an ex-finance minister who was the architect of the now-discredited policy of nurturing a class of Malay corporate captains on government largesse.
Individuals such as Tajuddin, Tan Sri Halim Saad and others flew high in the 1990s but their true mettle was tested during the Asian financial crisis. Nearly all of them fared poorly.
The Najib government’s move to settle all outstanding claims against Tajuddin appears to be an attempt to wipe the slate clean in a financial saga that goes back decades to the height of Dr Mahathir’s administration.
MAS had first lodged a police report against Tajuddin in 2002 for allegedly causing the flag carrier to suffer losses in excess of RM8 billion. Tajuddin was the executive chairman of the airline from 1994 to 2001.
“It can’t be misconstrued as a settlement out of court… this is a discussion to find positive solution off- site,” he told reporters today. He did not, however, elaborate on what he meant by the phrase.

Nazri says Tajuddin intervention could save Putrajaya billions

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 — Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz has rebuked those who have questioned his authority in intervening in the Tan Sri Tajuddin Ramli’s civil cases, insisting today that the move could save the government billions in legal claims.
The minister in the Prime Minister’s Department disagreed that he had overstepped boundaries with a letter earlier this month telling all government-linked companies to withdraw their suits against the former Malaysia Airlines (MAS) chairman, claiming he had done so in his role as a “facilitator” for the government.
Nazri also told detractors to check their facts before spewing insult against him, saying, “I know what I am doing.”
He accused DAP publicity chief Tony Pua of practising double standards for saying the minister should be placed under the Emergency Ordinance for issuing the letter, asking the leader why he had not urged the same when other Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders attempted to intrude on government affairs.
“I want to ask him (Pua): When (PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul) Hadi Awang asked the Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC) and Jais (Selangor Islamic Religious Department) to see him and explain the recent church raid, why did he not rebuke Hadi?
“Because what power does Hadi have in doing so? He is not the mentri besar of Selangor and neither is he the minister for religious affairs. So why the double standards, Tony?” Nazri told The Malaysian Insider.
Similarly in the controversy over the Kedah government’s ban on entertainment outlets during Ramadan, Nazri said DAP chairman Karpal Singh had no business ordering the businesses to stay open.
“On my part, I spoke to the second finance minister and he told me why don’t I explore this issue and that I may be the facilitator to urge these GLCs to sit down with Tajuddin to come up with an amicable solution. So what power did I abuse?” he asked.
Nazri said that to defend himself, Tajuddin, who is facing millions in legal claims for allegedly causing MAS to suffer losses in excess of RM8 billion during his tenure, had made a whopping RM13 billion counter-claim.
“Our total claims by the companies against Tajuddin are only half a billion ringgit. That is why, we said we should sit down and talk,” he said.
The letter to the GLCs, said Nazri, was not an order set in stone and did not outline any commitment on behalf of the companies stipulating that Tajuddin would walk away scot-free.
“It’s different if I went and spoke to some parties and then went claiming as if the government has agreed to settle all claims and let him go,” he said.
Nazri also disputed law professor Abdul Aziz Bari’s claim that, notwithstanding his explanation that the letter only constituted advice, he could not absolve the Najib administration of responsibility by attempting to settle the outstanding claims against Tajuddin.
“It is my letter so I should know better whether or not I made an order or advice. I asked them (GLCs) to speak with Tajuddin’s people. He (Aziz) is shallow in his thinking,” he said.
