Shahrir said the good news as hoped for by the people would be in line with the downward trend of global fuel prices. "I am glad to see world fuel prices go down, eventhough there will be effects felt after Hurricane Gustav (on the United States' Gulf Coast), the politics in Europe and the like.
PUTRAJAYA: The Government is providing 9,000 litres of subsidised diesel for each additional bus the operators are willing to put on the road, to avert a shortage for the Hari Raya rush across the country. The Cabinet decided to offer this incentive following fears that school and factory bus operators might refuse to lease out their buses, if they were not offered a diesel subsidy> To ward off such a crisis, an additional 2,000 express buses can be expected to be put on the roads for the balik kampung exodus this Hari Raya.
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Samad said the decision was made by the Cabinet Wednesday to encourage bus operators to increase the number of buses in view of Hari Raya. Shahrir said this when asked to comment on the reluctance of school and factory bus operators to rent out their vehicles for additional bus services during the Hari Raya celebrations.
PUTRAJAYA: Bus operators will be offered diesel subsidy of 9,000 litres for each additional express bus used between Sept 15 and Oct 15 during the balik kampung rush for the Hari Raya festival. Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad said the decision was made by the Cabinet Wednesday to ensure there would be enough buses for Malaysians to go home for the festive season. He added that the Government would be spending between RM100mil and RM150mil in subsidy.
Harga minyak tempatan mungkin diturunkan lagi sebelum Hari Raya Aidilfitri, kata Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan HalEhwal Pengguna Datuk Shahrir Samad. Shahrir berkata beliau mengharapkan berita gembira itu sepertimana yang diharapkan oleh rakyat sejajar dengan trend penurunan harga minyak pada masa ini. "Saya memang seronok melihat harga minyak di pasaran dunia turun, walaupun dijangka adanya kekangan berikutan masalah Gustav dan politik di Eropah dan sebagainya.
Menurutnya, beliau mengharapkan berita gembira itu sepertimana yang diharapkan oleh rakyat sejajar dengan trend penurunan harga minyak global pada masa ini. ‘‘Saya memang seronok melihat harga minyak di pasaran dunia turun walaupun dijangka adanya kekangan berikutan masalah taufan Gustav dan politik di Eropah dan sebagainya.
He said the budget showed that the government was serious in uplifting the people's living standard as seen from the reduction of taxes aimed at easing their burden. "The budget shows that the government is sensitive to the welfare of people from all strata of society.
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Shahrir Samad, a member of the ruling party's policy-making council, denied Anwar Ibrahim's victory was a major blow to the government. "It was his home ground, so that was always an advantage because he has a lot of support there," Shahrir said. "We expected him to win. This just proves there is nothing wrong with our electoral system. But I still doubt he will be able to pull off his Sept 16 threat." So, allow me to paraphrase the new official line, as previewed above: ‘We’re still in control, this is no big deal, and we expected to lose anyway.’ Expect to hear this spin ad nauseum from every local newspaper and TV news programme in the coming days.
He said the government hoped that the inflation rate, which stood at eight per cent at the moment, could be lowered following the drop in fuel prices. "The people need to feel the effect of the drop in fuel price as how they experienced the increase. Companies need to be ready to bring down the prices of goods," he told reporters after launching the state-level 2008 Consumer's Day in Plaza Angsana, Tampoi.
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad said he anticipated that the Budget would be directed at assisting the people. “I feel the phase of focusing on the building of roads and bridges is over. We don’t need that many more roads.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said RON97 petrol now costs RM2.55 a litre, a drop of 15 sen from RM2.70 a litre while the price of RON92 went down by 22 sen to RM2.40 a litre. Diesel will cost eight sen less at RM2.50 a litre. Abdullah said in a statement yesterday the Cabinet decided to bring forward the “floating” price mechanism for fuel after considering the drop in global oil prices over the past few weeks as well as higher inflation in July.
"If there was no by-election, the government would still announce the decrease in petrol price and the government is not influenced with what is going on in Permatang Pauh. "We are doing what we had decided on before. Petrol and diesel prices would be reviewed monthly and of course, the government is interested if there was a formula to lessen the people's burden," he told reporters here.
Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna, Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad berkata, sebarang penuru nan harga runcit bahan api itu akan memberikan kesan kepada kadar inflasi terutama sektor pengangkutan yang me nyumbangkan kepada 45 peratus Indeks Harga Pengguna (IHP). ''Petrol bukan penyumbang besar ke pada kenaikan harga barangan makanan tetapi ada fakta lain. ''Namun kalau dilihat kepada pe ngangkutan sebagai komponen terbesar dalam IHP, dijangka dengan penurunan harga minyak, ia dapat mengurangkan tekanan inflasi yang lebih tinggi seperti bulan lalu," katanya pada sidang akhbar selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat pasca-Kabinet bagi kementeriannya di sini hari ini. 
The ferry operators in Pulau Ketam had been complaining that they had to buy diesel at industrial rate although they were running a public transport service. Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad visited Pulau Ketam Thursday to personally convey the news to the ferry operators.
He said the ceiling price would be reviewed after Dec 31 depending on the current global fuel price at year-end. "If the fuel price spirals (this year), the people need not worry about bearing the high cost as the government will absorb the additional cost.
It must have also been a proud moment for both wives of the prime ministers' -- Tun Rahah Mohd Noah and Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah, who were the guests of honour. Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad, when launching the books, said it was easy for him to speak about both the leaders.
Anwar, a well known orator and the constituency's former MP, is holding at least three ceramah (political rallies) a night, moving from one venue to another to tackle its electorate. He touches on various issues including incidents relating to him in 1998, the price of petrol and attacks various personalities besides using the Internet and distributing pamphlets and the VCD of his debate on oil prices with Information Minister Datuk Shabery Cheek.
The Fair Trade Practices Bill is expected to be tabled in Parliament by early next year. It seeks to promote fair and competitive market environment in the country. Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad said feedback was being sought from industry members, non-governmental organisations and government agencies.
He said the act was aimed at ensuring fair price, competitiveness and effectiveness of marketing so that traders could engage in healthy competition while consumers get quality products at fair price. "The ministry is seeking views from various industry sectors, government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) aimed at strengthening the proposed act," he said in reply to a question by Zuraida Kamaruddin (PKR-Ampang) who wanted to know whether Malaysia had anti-monopoly laws.
Beliau berkata sebagai permulaan sistem pengedaran itu akan dijalankan di daerah Seberang Perai Utara sebelum ia dilaksanakan sepenuhnya di seluruh negara pada Januari tahun depan. "Kita akan cuba dulu sistem itu selama sebulan selepas itu kita akan buat kajian untuk lihat kelemahan dan keperluan yang perlu diperbaiki," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Persidangan Ekonomi Pengguna dan Keluarga di sini hari ini.
Beliau berkata apa yang diperkatakan oleh Anwar yang juga Penasihat Umum Parti Keadilan Rakyat menerusi Agenda Ekonomi Baru (AEB) yang diperkenalkannya, janji kempen pilihan raya umum lepas hingga kepada hujah semasa debatnya bersama Menteri Penerangan Datuk Shabery Cheek Selasa lalu, sering berubah-ubah. "Kaedah pengurangan caj kapasiti oleh penjana kuasa bebas (IPP) seperti yang dicadangkan oleh Anwar semasa debatnya dengan Shabery, amat bertentangan dengan AEB yang dibentangkannya di hadapan tokoh-tokoh perniagaan antarabangsa di Singapura tidak lama dulu.
 Gambar: Shahrir Abdul Samad bersama Sawal di Perhimpunan UMNO oleh: Sunarti Kibat BETULLAH bak dikata sekeping gambar memberi seribu makna. Kerana sekeping gambarlah impian saya untuk berihat dan memanjakan diri dengan menyepikan diri dalam bilik tanpa gangguan sesiapa Ahad lepas musnah dan berkecai. Angan-angan untuk merihatkan otak tidak tercapai kerana saya tidak tergamak untuk menutup telefon bimbit saya agar tidak diganggu oleh sesiapa terutama rakan-rakan media. Ini kerana sejak dilantik sebagai Pegawai Tugas-Tugas Khas merangkap Setiausaha Akhbar kepada Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad sejak awal Jun lalu memang baru Ahad lalu (29 Jun) saya dapat berihat. `Boss` balik ke kawasannya di Johor Bahru, bolehlah saya berihat sehari kerana biasanya pada hujung minggu juga saya harus mengiringi `boss` saya ke majlis-majlis tertentu termasuk di luar Kuala Lumpur dan Putrajaya. Dalam dairi `boss` saya pula memang tidak ada cuti...cuti beliau adalah ketika pulang ke rumah untuk tidur. Sebagai bekas wartawan selama 22 tahun, sepatutnya saya harus faham dan maklum akan tugas-tugas media yang perlu peka kepada perkembangan semasa termasuk penyebaran secara meluas gambar `boss` saya bersama-sama pemuda, yang saya yakin kini menduduki carta jejaka paling popular di Malaysia, Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
The Government may have to expedite the implementation of measures to control the price and supply of rice as wholesalers and traders have taken advantage of the situation, said Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad. He said the matter would be proposed at the Anti-Inflation Committee meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday as wholesalers and traders had recently increased the price of the commodity, thus burdening the consumers. "We cannot take any action (against the wholesalers and traders) unless the Government enforces the measures. "This clearly shows that the wholesalers and traders have taken advantage of the situation by increasing prices before the government enforces the price control measures," he told reporters after attending a luncheon hosted by 28 Johor Baru fish wholesalers associations, Sunday.
Selain hitam, warna lain yang unik seperti merah jambu atau ungu boleh digunakan, katanya ketika diminta mengulas mengenai pembatalan penggunaan dakwat kekal pada pilihan raya 8 Mac lepas. "Kita pilihlah warna yang unik kepada kita, janganlah pilih hitam sahaja, hitam semua orang boleh buat," katanya kepada pemberita selepas sambutan ulang tahun ke-28 Persatuan Pemborong Ikan Johor Baharu di sini hari Ahad. "Jangan beritahu sesiapa warnanya sehingga pilihan raya diadakan," katanya. Tahun lepas, Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) bersetuju melaksanakan penggunaan dakwat kekal itu dalam pilihan raya umum ke-12 tetapi kemudian membatalkannya empat hari menjelang pengundian atas alasan keselamatan. Kira-kira RM2.9 juta dibelanjakan untuk membeli 48,000 botol dakwat tidak mudah padam dari India tetapi pelaksanaannya dibatalkan kerana bimbang wujud unsur sabotaj seperti yang dikesan oleh polis.

KS Ronny Datuk Good evening to you Dato. It was a very dispointing to see Johor Baru the Modern City flooding. We must not be a laughing stock to the neighbouring country. Dato, Please ensure to come down to the field and see yourself. Whoever you are issuing the contract to make sure they carryout qulity work. Dato, nowdays as you know people are interest how much they can make but come the quality there is no compromise. Thank Dato KS Ronny 28 May 2008 Mohamed Ghouse YB. Dato Assalamu alaikum. Congratulations on your very bold move to introduce restrictions for foreign cars to fill-up Petrol around border areas. It is a very good move made in the interest of poor and deserving Malaysians. Terima Kasih 28 May 2008 Lai Soon Ean YB, a blanket band on foreign registered vehicles from filling up petrol @ border towns will result in further economic hardship on the citizens of these border towns cities. Johor Bahru's economy, a town from which you hail from YB, and whose constituents had elected you to Parliament, depends substantially on commerce with our neighbours down south. This ban will adversely affect the livelihood of Malaysians in Johor Bahru and other border towns cities. 28 May 2008 Daniel Ho Dear YB. Dato' Shahrir, Greetings to you sir from the state of Singapore, the purpose of my email to you sir, is to plead that you reconsider the ban on foreign cars pumping petrol. I have been a avid supporter of your country\'s economy as I comes almost every week to enjoy the great food and entertainment your country provides. A ban like this is very harsh on us though I\'m aware of your intentions to safe keep the subsidised fuel for the fellow malaysians, I wonder if you could consider letting foreign registered vehicles pump petrol at JB or anywhere else at full price, I believe it is fair to you all and us as well since we have enjoyed the privileges. Thanks for your time. Looking forward to your revert, Warmest regards, Daniel Ho 28 May 2008 Kelvin Dear Minister Datuk Shahrir Samad, With regards to the news of "No petrol sales to foreign cars (27/05/2008)". I would like to clarify if that ban applies to Malaysian driving Singapore-registered car? The reason is that i'm working in Singapore and i'm travelling back to JB everyday, as my parents is base in JB. Please help to clarify the doubt. Regards, Kelvin 28 May 2008 zulhilmiahmat Askm..Dato' disini saya ingin mengutarakan satu cadangan di parlimen johor bahru ini masih tidak terdapat Pasar Lewat Malam atau pasar pagi,sepertimana di kuala lumpur yang ada downtown cheras dan lain-lain lagi,..di kawasan johor bahru ini saya kira tidak kurang hebatnya juga jika ia dibuka,penambahan pelancong akan meningkat,unjuran ekonomi positif dan kegiatan sosial yang berfaedah.jadi cadangan saya mohon sediakan satu tempat untuk dijadikan kawasan peniaga down town bagi kawasan bandar johor bahru khasnya di parlimen Johor Bahru..Sekian.terima kasih. 27 May 2008 Aliza Assalamualaikum wr wb YB. Dato' Shahrir Bin Abdul Samad Saya seorang warga Singapura yang sudah menetap di Johore bahru selama 8 tahun. Bekerja dan bermastautin in sini. Larangan penjualan minyak kepada kenderaan asing memang tepat sekali bagi membantu kerajaan menanggung subsidi kenaikan harga minyak yg begitu tinggi. Dengan ini juga dapat membantu dan membela rakyat tempatan. Soalan saya adalah, bolehkan larangan ini di beri pengecualian pada kenderaan asing yang di punyai oleh warga asing yang bekerja tetap (mempunyai pas pegawai dagang) seperti saya. 26 May 2008 zaide zainalabidin Saya kurang bersetuju dengan saranan kerajaan berhubung dengan mewujudkan akta tidak membenarkan warga asing untuk mengisi minyak di kawasan sekitar 30km radius di pintu masuk negara. Akta ini akan akan memberikan kesan-kesan ekonomi dan impak yg baik dari segi persepsi jiran tetangga. Saranan saya : 1. Mewujudkan pam-pam minyak khas bagi warga negara asing mengisi minyak. 2. Warga asing akan membayar petrol yg tidak di subsidi (mengikut harga pasaran) 26 May 2008 hasbuang Cukuplah berpolitik.cubalah cari penyelesaian untuk menyekat kenaikan harga barang terutama harga beras.Bagi kami diSarawak harga beras dah tak boleh dibeli dengan harga dibawah rm20/10kg.Paling murah harga beras diSarawak/Kuching adalah rm26.90.Dengan harga ini bagaimana kami yang berpendapatan rendah untuk meneruskan hisup. Dato', tolonglah datang ke Kuching untuk memantau sendiri kenaikan harga barang disini............. 26 May 2008 Dr Novandri Hasan Basri - Mahathir Quits UMNO - Adab & Harapan Penulis ingin membincangkan 4 perkara yang saling berkaitan di antara satu sama lain. Isunya adalah mengenai krisis yang melanda di dalam parti UMNO. 1. Pada 23hb Mei 2008, penulis berkesempatan untuk berSMS dengan Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, Ketua Pemuda UMNO Malaysia mengenai kekusutan dan salah faham yang timbul tentang perletakkan ahli Tun Dr Mahathir dan konsep pelan pemulihan UMNO yang dibaca di dalam media-media. Penulis menulis, ‘Assalamualaikum Dato Seri. Can you elaborate more regarding ‘pelan pemulihan UMNO’ as discussed in MT meeting? If I may give my opinion, there’s lack of of 2 way communication between leaders and grassroots. We’re kept in the dark, guessing & wondering without any guidance. Our point of reference are newspaper & tv & not from our own leaders. 26 May 2008 Mohamed Ghouse YB Dato' Shahrir Terima Kasih atas pengemuman YB Dato' tentang harga minyak baru-baru ini. Izinkan saya untuk meneruskan e-mail ini didalam Bahasa Inggeris. To ensure that only the deserved Malaysians get the subsidy, I would encourage the Government to enfore a rationing system which can be done using the high-tech MyKad, which every Malaysian possess. Also, please do take measures to stop Singaporeans from enjoying our subsidised petrol (By having a mechanism to allow only mykad holders are given that subsidy). |
