PRAYERS (Mr Speaker in the Chair) MOTION THE FIRST MALAYSIA PLAN, 1966 TO 1970 The Deputy Prime Minister (Tun Haji Abdul Razak): Mr Speaker, Sir, I beg to move: That this House, recognising the need to promote the integration of the peoples and States of Malaysia and to build a more united, nation, secure and prosperous approves the objectives, priorities and pro grammes of the First Malaysia Plan as set out in Command Paper No.

45 of 1965.
45 of 1965.

In adopting the Plan, this House calls upon Malaysians from all walks of life who have the welfare of the country at heart, to strive to accomplish the challenging task of meeting the aspirations of all our people for a better life and a higher standard of living by fulfilling the objectives and goals of the Plan.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya mem bentangkan kapada Dewan ini, satu Usul yang sangat penting dan musta- hak, ia-itu Usul untok menentukan kemajuan2 dalam lapangan iktisad dan lima masharakat yang akan di-jalankan di- negara kita pada masa tahun yang akan datang, ia-itu Ranchangan Kemajuan Malaysia yang pertama bagi memberi segala ni'mat2, kema'amoran, mata pencharian yang lebeh luas, dan taraf hidup yang lebeh tinggi kapada semua ra'ayat Malaysia daripada ber- bagai2 keturunan.
Untok menchapai matalamat dan chita2 ini, perlaksanaan Ranchangan Malaysia Yang Pertama ini mesti-lah berjalan dengan baik dan pesai.

Dan, untok menjaminkan itu, semua—Kerajaan mustahak-lah kita Pusat, Kerajaan Negeri, Wakil2 Ra'ayat, Pegawai2 Kerajaan, semua-nya ber- sunggoh2 berusaha menjayakan per laksanaan ranchangan itu.

Chabaran di-hadapan kita ada-lah kuat dan besar.


Pada hari ini, saya membentangkan kapada Ahli2 Yang Berhormat sa- kalian, satu ranchangan yang sangat besar, berani, tetapi ada-lah realistik dan boleh di-jayakan.

Ranchangan Lima Tahun Malaysia Yang Pertama akan membawa ra'ayat dan negara ini mara ka-hadapan dalam bidang kema lebeh juan dan kema'amoran yang 5735 15 DECEMBER 1965 5736 ini, besar lagi.
Matalamat Ranchangan Lima Tahun Malaysia Yang Pertama ia-lah untok memberi Malaysia ini dan ra'ayat-nya satu tempat yang lebeh sempurna dan mulia dalam dunia dan kedudokan taraf hidup dan kema 'amoran yang kita semua chita2kan.

sunggoh pun di- Ranchangan namakan Ranchangan Lima Tahun, tetapi ada-lah satu ranchangan yang sasaran-nya akan menuju dan men- jalani tempoh sa-lama 20 tahun, mulai tahun hadapan.
Semenjak daripada negara ini menchapai kemerdekaan dalam tahun 1957, telah banyak per- ubahan2 dan kemajuan bagi ra'ayat, khas-nya bagi mereka yang dudok di- luar bandar terutama telah di-laksana- kan oleh Kerajaan Perikatan.

yang Saya amat sukachita menegaskan di-sini yang Ranchangan Lima Tahun kita yang pertama, ia-itu ranchangan tahun daripada tahun 1961 hingga lebeh 1965, telah memberi Kejayaan daripada akan di-jangkakan lebeh daripada sasaran-nya.
Ini sangat- lah memuaskan hati kita dan sangat2 membanggakan kapada Kerajaan, dan lagi, kejayaan yang chemerlang ini telah di-chapai walau pun negara kita, daripada semenjak tahun 1963, telah di-ancham oleh konfrantasi dan pen- cherobohan Indonesia yang telah mem- buatkan perbelanjaan dalam lapangan pertahanan dan keselamatan kita ber- tambah banyak dan besar.
adil dan satu masharakat dan chita2 Kerajaan Perikatan ada-lah senantiasa untok memperhambakan diri, untok berusaha dan bekerja bagi kema'amoran dan ke'adilan untok semua ra'ayat daripada semua bangsa, bagi melahirkan yang lebeh saksama, di-mana jurang perbezaan di-antara pendudok2 negara ini dalam semua bidang dapat di-kurangkan.
Kita mahu melihat ra'ayat daripada semua bangsa bukan sahaja aman- terus-menerus hidup damai, penoh dengan perasaan muhib- bah dan mesera antara satu dengan lain, juga mempunyai persa- imbangan dalam semua bidang, ter utama sa-kali dalam bidang ekonomi dan pelajaran.

tetapi Parti2 dan perubahan senantiasa Pembangkang membuat kechaman yang tidak adil terhadap Kerajaan Perikatan, konon- tidak membuat apa2 nya Kerajaan kemajuan kapada ra'ayat.
Betapa kosong dan falsu-nya kechaman2 ini, boleh-lah di-boktikan oleh keputusan2 Pilehan2 Raya dari tahun 1955 hingga Pilehan semenjak Raya tahun 1964.

Ra'ayat Malaysia daripada segala bangsa telah memberi keperchayaan yang penoh kapada Parti Perikatan kerana mereka sedar hanya di-bawah pimpinan Kerajaan Perikatan terjamin perpaduan di-antara kaum2, ketegohan politik dan kema'amoran, yang di-bawa dengan chara beransor2 dan aman.
Malaya dan Malaysia di-bawah pimpinan Kerajaan Perikatan, telah menchapai kejayaan, kemajuan demi kemajuan, dan perubahan2 yang besar dari Malaya yang merdeka kapada Malaysia.

Ketegohan politik membawa kema'amoran, dari kema'amoran mem bawa ka-adilan dan Keamanan.

Ini ada-lah kejayaan2 dan hasil2 daripada pimpinan Kerajaan yang prektikal dan telah ber- adil.

Kerajaan Perikatan khidmatan dengan segala kejujoran dan ikhlas kapada ra'ayat negara ini dari semua bangsa.
Dan perkhidmatan telah di-hargai oleh Kerajaan tiap2 Pilehan ra'ayat semua, kerana Raya pada tiga kali yang telah lalu, ra'ayat negeri ini telah memileh Kera jaan Perikatan untok memimpin negara dan ra'ayat ini kapada kemajuan dan perubahan yang lebeh besar lagi.
Niat2 ini Kapada mereka yang senantiasa tidak mahu menerima kenyataan dan mengikuti kejayaan2 Ranchangan2 Ke majuan Kerajaan, saya minta mereka merenong kembali dan membuat per- bandingan antara keadaan dan rupa bentok negara kita ini sa-masa pen- jajah dahulu dengan keadaan dan bentok rupa negara kita—kema'amoran dan ketegohan ra'ayat Malaysia dari pada semua bangsa semenjak Malaya menchapai kemerdekaan pada tahun 1957.
Di-bawah pemerentahan pen- jajahan British dahulu, ra'ayat ke- banyakan hidup dalam keadaan ke- miskinan serta di-tekan oleh cheng- kaman politik dan muslihat penjajah.

Di-bawah Kerajaan Perikatan, Malaya telah men dan sekarang Malaysia, chapai berbagai2 kemajuan.

5737 15 DECEMBER 1965 5738 taraf hidup yang Malaysia, pada hari ini ada-lah sa-buah negara yang ma'amor.

Ra'ayat lebeh mempunyai tinggi sa-kali di-Tenggara Asia ini.

Kejayaan ini boleh di-dapati dan boleh di-lihat di-serata2 tempat.
Rupa bentok dan pandangan di-Malaysia telah ber- ubah dalam semua lapangan.

Negara telah terang dengan kemajuan2, dan ra'ayat berani dan perchaya pada diri masing2.

Keadaan bentok rupa dan isi kampong2 pun telah berubah dan sedang menuju ka-arah kemajuan yang lebeh besar lagi.
Kejayaan2 telah di- chapai kerana Kerajaan Perikatan telah menjalankan pimpinan dengan waras dan melaksanakan dasar2-nya dengan tidak di-kuasai oleh sentimen atau perasaan, akan tetapi berdasar kapada keadaan di-sa-keliling—kapada lojik dan kenyataan hidup yang sa- benar-nya.

itu terjamin, kita Di-bawah Kerajaan Perikatan, ra'ayat Malaysia dari berbagai2 bangsa ber- ganding bahu menchari kema'amoran taraf hidup.
Tiap2 dan ka-tinggian kaum di-Malaysia di-jamin menchari kekayaan, saperti juga tiap2 puak ter- jamin mengikut adat istadat masing2, mengikut ugama masing2, dan mempe- lajari bahasa masing2.

Sunggoh pun juga semua-nya sekarang berusaha dan menggalakkan penubohan satu bangsa Malaysia yang tulen di-mana semua ra'ayat-nya akan mempunyai ta'at setia mereka yang tidak berbelah bagi kapada negara kita.

Perlaksanaan berjalan dengan aman damai.


Saya yakin satu bangsa Malaysia yang tulen, yang ter- diri dari berbagai2 keturunan akan lahir dan Malaysia akan menjadi sa-buah negara yang bahagia dan ma'amor (Tepok).

sedang ini ini, Hari ini, negara kita ia-lah sa-buah telah menjadi chontoh negara yang kapada negara2 di-dunia ia-itu menjadi chontoh di-mana ra'ayat ber bagai2 bangsa hidup aman bahagia dan berganding bahu bersama2 men chari kemajuan dan kebahagian hidup.
Kerana Kerajaan Perikatan mem punyai' sifat2 yang sederhana, mem punyai sifat2 yang prektik, sifat2 yang benar dan jujor, dan pandai pula memperalatkan kebaikan2 Demokrasi dan Nationalizm, serta menggunakan telah nyatakan kekayaan negara kita dengan chermat dan jujor.

Sebab itu-lah kejayaan yang saya tadi dapat di- chapai terlebeh besar daripada sang- kaan kita sendiri.
Malaysia boleh melahirkan kemajuan dan kekayaan ini, oleh kerana ada mempunyai per paduan yang erat di-antara semua kaum di-negara kita ini.
Ketegohan perpaduan ini-lah telah di-chapai di- bawah pimpinan Kerajaan Perikatan dan kita sentiasa hendak memperkuat- kan lagi perpaduan ini kerana hanya- lah dengan perpaduan ini boleh kita menjamin kema'amoran yang telah di-chapai itu, kekal dan menjamin mendapat kejayaan lebeh besar dalam perlaksanaan Ranchangan Lima Tahun Malaysia Yang Pertama ini dengan lichin dan sempurna.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya suka menegaskan di-sini, kunchi kejayaan kita pada masa akan datang ini ia-lah ketegohan perpaduan antara kaum yang lebeh kuat lagi.

Kita juga mesti- lah sentiasa sedar dan insaf bahawa kemajuan dan koma'amoran kita pada masa akan datang bukan-lah terletak pada rasa puas hati dengan apa yang kita telah dapat, tetapi yang terletak kapada keazaman, ketegohan hati dan keyakinan yang lebeh kuat untok melancharkan usaha2 yang lebeh giat dan besar pada masa2 hadapan.
Masa lima tahun yang ka-hadapan ini ada- lah masa yang penting bagi negara kita dan dalam sejarah pembangunan seluroh ra'ayat Malaysia dari semua anak2 bumiputera bangsa khas-nya yang maseh mundor dalam serba serbi mesti-lah melipat kali gandakan usaha mereka dan kemajuan dalam pembangunan eko- nomi dan lain2.

Ini-lah masaalah yang besar yang mesti di-hadapi dan ini-lah chabaran pada masa hadapan untok ra'ayat yang mahu maju dan bangun.
Kerajaan telah berbuat apa juga yang terdaya untok semua bangsa dan Kerajaan Perikatan akan terus-menerus saya memberi berkhidmat nasihat kapada semua, terutama sa- kali bumiputera, ra'ayat bahawa segala ranchangan2 Kerajaan tidak akan dapat memberi faedah jika ranchangan2 yang di-kehendaki, Kerajaan itu tidak mendapat sambutan perkembangan kapada untok tetapi 5739 15 DECEMBER 1965 5740 yang sempurna dan yang kuat dari- pada ra'ayat sendiri.
Kerajaan menga- dakan ranchangan2 bertujuan hendak mengubah nasib ra'ayat.

Pertolongan Kerajaan ada-lah had-nya nasib ra'ayat tidak dengan per berubah tolongan Kerajaan sahaja, nasib semua ra'ayat, khas-nya bumiputera, tidak akan berubah jika ra'ayat bumiputera sendiri belum insaf dan sedar dan berazam hendak mengubah nasib-nya sendiri.
akan Saya menyeru mulai daripada tahun sempena dengan pelancharan Ran changan Kemajuan Malaysia Yang Pertama ini supaya ra'ayat negeri ini mengubahkan sikap hidup, mengubah- kan falsafah dan concept hidup kita, kapada concept dan falsafah yang lebeh chergas lagi supaya semua ra'ayat lebeh berchita2 lagi kapada kemajuan.
Saya harap kita gantikan falsafah yang di-katakan hidup kais pagi makan pagi itu dengan falsafah berkerja sa-olah2 kita hidup sa-lama2-nya dan mahu hidup mene'mati dengan segala keme- wahan2 yang di-bawa oleh science.

Negara kita kaya dan kita mempunyai sharat2 untok melaksanakan segala segala ranchangan2 yang kita chita2- kan. Sharat yang besar sa-kali kita kehendaki sekarang ia-lah keyakinan dan kemahuan yang kuat dan usaha yang lagi yang boleh melahirkan segala kejayaan dan ke- bahagiaan hidup itu.
lebeh kuat tetapi sempurna Tuan Yang di-Pertua, sekarang saya minta izin hendak berchakap dalam bahasa Inggeris tetapi sa-belum saya berbuat bagitu saya suka menerangkan ini, saya dukachita kapada Dewan kerana terjemahan Ranchangan Malay sia Yang Pertama dalam Bahasa tidak dapat di-jelaskan Kebangsaan rengkasan2 dengan telah dapat di-bentangkan di-Dewan ini.
Ranchangan ini telah di-sediakan beberapa bulan yang lalu akan tetapi di-sebabkan oleh perpisahan Singapura pada 9hb Ogos yang terpaksa Ranchangan ini di-pinda sa-mula dan di-semak sa-mula dan itu telah meng- ambil masa dan tidak dapat di-sedia kan sa-hingga beberapa minggu yang telah tidak dapat-lah masa hendak di-terjemahkan semua sa-kali ranchangan2 ini.

lalu dan dengan lalu itu this Parliament Mr Speaker, Sir, I rise to propose today no ordinary motion.
I rise to propose before this symbol of our democracy, a plan for economic and social development for the next five years, a plan of purpose and intention to enable our country to travel yet to accelerated progress and prosperity, a plan to give Malaysia its rightful place in international, economic com munity of free nations of the world.

further on the road the nations breaking in speed barrier race We in Malaysia, Sir, are seasoned travellers on the path of progress.
We have been envied by other less for the tunate for this development towards economic international stability.

We have quietly forged ahead from strength to strength on a firm security, stability and good economic planning, and, even more important, the deter mination and ability to translate our plans into action.

foundation of sound almost Mr Speaker, Sir, every developing country in the world has a Five-Year Plan, but a plan in itself does not mean anything.
A Plan on paper without the will and energy to put it into practice does not bring any benefit to the people or to the country.

However, I am glad to say, Sir, that as this historic day heralds the launch ing of our plan for the future, it also records the success in the implementa tion of the previous Five-Year Plan (Applause) which, in spite of defence commitments in countering confronta tion and aggression, has nevertheless achieved the targets which this Govern ment sets in line to achieve in 1961.
I am proud to say, Sir, that in many sectors of our last Five-Year Develop ment Plan, we exceeded the aims we set ourselves.

Sir, the Opposition, particularly those who are blind followers of out dated doctrines and political philo sophies formulated many years ago— by such people as Karl Marx—allege that the Alliance Government has no political philosophy and therefore any development plan without a philosophy cannot possibly succeed and cannot benefit the people.
To those who are 5741 15 DECEMBER 1965 5742 so philosophically conscious, I say categorically, that the Alliance has a philosophy, a philosophy that is bear the ing fruit evidence of the its success progress that we, as a young nation, independence have (Applause).

in actual practice and in achieved since lies success We have achieved from Merdeka to Malaysia, from stability to success, from peace to prosperity and the Alliance policy philosophy is Progress.
We are, Mr Speaker, Sir, a progres sive Government, our ideas and our thinking aptly meet present day needs and the needs of our people whom we put foremost in our minds before any selfish aim or political gain.

But we are not in the habit of misleading the electorate with cries and slogans of outdated doctrines taken out from out dated philosophies or torn away from text books.
the politician We are essentially, both in our philosophy and practice, a Govern ment elected by the people, close to the people and representing the wishes of all sections of our people.

We believe that it is for the electorate, for the people to decide what direction it wishes the country to progress.

It is then for to create a vision of this progress and to make the people see his vision as he sees it.

It is for the politician to give words to this vision and turn it into a policy.
It is then for Government servants to give the policy a form and to translate this vision into reality.

This, Sir, is our philosophy of democracy and this is our definition of democratic practice for development and progress which we have applied over the last ten years with success.

Let us look back to the years lead ing towards independence.

None of us in those days, even with the greatest optimism could have dared visualize a prosperous Malaysia as she is today.
Mr Speaker, Sir, public memory is short.

It very soon forgets.

Sometimes, worse still, the memory of the Opposi tion is even shorter and I am not quite sure whether they maliciously forget or will not admit the progress that we in the Alliance Government have achieved since we took over the reins the days of of Government colonialism.
from the memories of Now, Sir, I ask this House to com the days of pare before Merdeka under-development and the difference between our country as it was ten years ago and as it stands now today as a prosperous nation to which all of us are proud to belong.

This present day prosperous Malaysia is in fact the vision which the Alliance saw through the clouds of colonialism and that vision was formed in all its aspects.
And that has been given form, formulated in terms of the administra tive machine of our country and put into practice in our schools, in our villages, in our factories, on our land and in our homes.

We the Alliance are proud to have the honour of leading our nation on the march of progress the fulfilment of this vital vision of a vigorous and prosperous nation.

The vision of the future, Sir, is even more hopeful.
towards this side of Now, Mr Speaker, Sir, I would like to give credit to those many Members the of Parliament on House, or rather on the correct side of the House, who entered into the spirit of creating this true vision of independence and worked day and night, travelling tirelessly around the country, putting force and realism into our vision and the implementation of our development aspirations.
I thank each one of them for their unselfish service to the country over the last five years in putting development and national progress before selfish gain.

I feel, Sir, it would not be out of place if these Alliance Members of Parlia ment were to applaud themselves now because they deserve it.

Secondly, Sir, I would like to give particular credit to those who have no voice in this House even when their devotion is discredited by some Mem bers of the Opposition.
I would like to give credit and high praise to the many thousands, who cannot applaud themselves, the Engineers, the Doctors, the Technicians the Administrators, 5743 15 DECEMBER 1965 5744 and all the other Civil Servants, too numerous to mention, for the loyalty, dedication, hard work and enthusiasm which they have given as a major contribution towards the development progress of our country during the implementation of our last Five-Year Plan (Applause).
It is not Sir, my intention, before introducing this new Plan, to give a lecture on Alliance philosophy, be cause any Member of this House can quite easily learn much more about it merely by having the good sense to pay a small subscription to an office somewhere along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and join the most progressive and sensible political Party the country, a party which (Laughter) serves the people well and truly and has succeeded in translating the vision of a happy and prosperous Malaysia into a reality.
in Sir, we are a nation of many races, many cultures; a country in which all are allowed to practise many religions, and Alliance philosophy and policy have facilitated us to advance coolly, continuously and with good conscience; and the practice of ours has never been done the heat of passion, spasmodically or under the threat of subsequent is only remorse; and with this cool, sensible and unemo tional Alliance leadership will we weld together our various races and culture into a stable, happy Malaysia living in harmony and progressing in unity.
in it To do this and to enable us to develop—in order to achieve unity and a progressive—we economic heavy dose of nationalism as a neces sary stimulant, but let us, and this is our Alliance policy, always think of our nationalism within the correct and balanced context of internationalism.

need We have the basic assets of sound democracy, a great potential of natural resources and a people, who, in the last five years have shown themselves capable of advancing faster than our expectations.
We have also the most important stimulant development—national unity—which has been forged by the Alliance Government.

for Now, Sir, this external the Government and people of Malaysia can rightly be the achievements of our proud of country in the last few years.

Malaysia itself was established only two years ago.

Since that date it has had to contend with continuous aggression from a much larger neighbour, but it has withstood this danger successfully.
to her Besides independence, Malaysia has had to contend with internal political difficul ties which finally led to the separation of one of its States.

Now, many waverers and our enemies were of the opinion that this would lead to the disintegration of the Nation.

But they have been proved wrong.

Separation from Singapore was effected constitu tionally peacefully.

Malaysia remains united and strong.


threat and The problems standing in the way of economic progress of the country have also been formidable.

But the advances which have been made in the campaign against poverty, illiteracy and disease too, have been significant.
Malaysia embarks upon its future with a for bringing foundation about greater unity and a more pros perous and happier life for its people than they have ever known before and it is with this paramount objective in view that the Government has formu lated the First Malaysia Plan which I now commend to this House.
stronger Now, Sir, the dramatic progress achieved in the economic and special development of the country is indeed a credit to the Nation, especially when account is taken of the many economic and political problems which con fronted us.

In fact it can be said with justification that in the way in which we have forged ahead in developing this country and the consequential changes which have been brought about can be said to be a "silent revolution".
In the last five years, average income in the country has risen by almost 15% despite the fact that the popula tion has been growing at one of the highest rates in the world, and despite the fact the country's earnings from the production and sale of natural product—have rubber—its principal that 5745 15 DECEMBER 1965 5746 been falling.

This is indeed a notable achievement.


The rate of growth of income achieved inter national standard, especially in com parison with other developing coun tries with rapidly growing populations.

is high by has also Employment In Malaya, where increased significantly.

the problem of unemployment is serious in comparison with the Borneo States, where is negligible, about 345 it jobs were created.

As a thousand result, the rate of unemployment of the male and force female remained at about 6%.
This rate, Sir, compares not unfavourably with other nations which are at the same stage of development as Malaysia.

labour in taken increase also been Concurrent with in this national income and employment, a transformation in the character of the economy has initiated.

Although there is still a long way to go, the evidence of the change that is occurring is clearly discernible.

The the first steps have been process of reducing the dependence of the economy on rubber and tin.
Agri cultural production has begun to be diversified.

The production of oil palm, livestock, fish and forest pro ducts has increased rapidly.

A begin ning has also been made the industrialisation of the economy.

As a result, locally manufactured goods of to replace many imports.

The development of petro leum refining is a good example.

Now, in 1960, all imports of petroleum in product fuels entered form, by 1964 only 41% entered as product remaining 59% entered as crude petroleum for domestic refining.
types have begun form, while in Malaya the in These achievements are testimony to the efforts of our farmers, our indus and our trialists, our technicians their hard administrators, who, by work and enterprise have made it possible for this country to offer an improving standard of living to our people.
These achievements also attest to the size and effectiveness of this Government's social development programmes—expenditure on which was about two and a half economic and times as great as the amount spent between 1956 and 1960.

In fact, as the country's export earn ings grew, only very slowly because of falling rubber prices, the rapid increase of public investment in the last five years was one of the principal causes of the high rate of growth in income which was achieved.
But more import ant than this immediate benefit, is the fact future that a firmer base for economic and social development has been laid.

In Malaya about 2,300 miles of roads were constructed, compared with about 600 miles during the 1956- 60 period.

Port capacity was expanded at Port Swettenham.

The number of increased, telephones trunk installed lines were extended into new areas and the quality and capacity of exist ing trunk lines were raised.
Electricity generation capacity expanded by 64% while the average daily output of water these increased by 54%.

With all achievements, sound a economic transport infrastructure of and communication facilities and elec tricity and water supply systems have been created.

reasonably also effort reaped of resulted The development the in Government has improving the long-run productivity of our natural and human resources, particularly in the rural areas.
About land were 145,000 acres of virgin the opened up by the F.L.D.A.

for settlement of twelve thousand families and in a few of these settlements, Sir, the people have now the benefits and in one land scheme in Kedah, which I visited last Sunday, the settlers are now beginning to draw an income of the average of $350.00 and some $400.00 a month on an average tapping days of 24/25 days a month (Applause).

This, Sir, proves my prediction on this was right some years ago.
The completion of several irrigation and drainage projects raised the acreage of padi capable of being double-cropped fivefold from 30,000 acres in 1960 to 193,000 acres in 1965.

Total planted acreage increased from 941,000 to 980,000 acres.

An estimated 760,000 acres of to smallholders were planted or replanted with high-yielding rubber, bringing the land belonging 5747 15 DECEMBER 1965 5748 acreage under high-yielding rubber to 890,000 acres or about 50% to total smallholding acreage.
In school enrolments school enrolments the field of education, Sir, an additional 6,000 classrooms were con structed in primary schools and 3,000 in secondary schools.

As a result, pri mary increased from 980,000 to 1,200,000 and secon dary from 100,000 to 275,000.

During the same the school-leaving age was period, increased from 12 to 14 years and a re-organisation of the secondary school system was effected with the introduc tion of the comprehensive system of education.
Rapid progress was also made in college and university educa tion.

rose in building up Now, in addition to the efforts of the Government the Malaysian economy, Honourable Mem bers will note that social and com munity services have been improved and expanded, particularly in the rural areas.

Hospital capacity was raised and a total of 31 main health centres, 132 subhealth centres and 645 midwives' clinics were constructed in the rural areas.
The number of rooms available through public housing schemes tripled between 1960 and 1965, thus helping to meet the heavy demand for housing created by the rapid increase in urban population.

Electricity and telephone services were extended to many rural the areas.

With all already high standard of social and community services in Malaya was further improved.

What is also import ant is the fact that whereas in the past these facilities were negligible in the rural areas, they are now becoming numerous.
No one can dispute that a radical change for the better has been effected rural in countryside.

these projects, face of our the In Sabah and Sarawak, about 35% more was spent on the development effort than was the case in the two previous years before the establishment in of Malaysia.

The rapid activities Government's development has not only the to contributed enlargement of incomes in these States but has also strengthened and broaden ed their base for future economic and increase social development.
The Government would have liked to have done much these States.

But the time more for which has elapsed since the establish ment of Malaysia has been too short to bring about striking changes.

Never theless, taking the period of the last five years as a whole, some concrete advances had been made.

The initial steps in the creation of an adequate economic infra-structure in Sabah and Sarawak have been taken.

Road mile age expanded by 72% while electricity generation capacity increased by 84%.
In the field of agriculture, measures were to promote an efficient system of settled cultivation.

Many schemes were new established.

In Sabah, oil palm as well is being grown on such as rubber schemes.

increased In both States, attention was also given to extensive replanting of low-yielding rubber with high-yielding material.

settlement taken land Looking back on the progress which has been achieved, we can justifiably efforts draw which we have made.
We have toiled, struggled and sacrificed and our efforts have been amply rewarded.

satisfaction from the Now looking forward into the future, we need to consolidate our successes, learn from our mistakes and rededicate ourselves to even greater efforts.

We certainly cannot afford to be compla cent.

Our attainments in the last five years constitute only the initial step in the process of bringing about a truly developed Malaysia.
Much more re mains the First Malaysia Plan is our blue-print of what must be done by the Government and the people during the next five years.

to be done and the The First Malaysia Plan has four primary objectives.
The first is to pro mote the peoples integration of and States of Malaysia by embarking upon a development plan explicitly designed to promote the welfare of all; the second objective is to provide a steady increase in levels of income and consumption for our people, parti cularly these in the rural areas, and those in other low income groups; the third objective is to generate employ ment opportunities at a rate sufficient 5749 15 DECEMBER 1965 5750 to provide productive work for new entrants to the labour force and to lower the rate of unemployment; the fourth is to continue to stimulate new kinds of economic activity, both agri cultural and industrial, so as to reduce Malaysia's economic dependence on rubber and tin.
The attainment of these objectives is a difficult task, because there are many problems which we have to face.

The most serious of these problems are the prospect of a continuing decline in the price of rubber and the deple tion of known tin reserves.

The pro duction and marketing of these two export commodities constitute at pre sent our major source of income and employment.
As their immediate pros pects are not particularly bright, the task of progressively increasing our national income becomes challenging.

It is crucial that we find new sources of income and employment.

A second major problem which is our extremely high confronts us rate of population growth.

At about three per cent a year, this rate is of the highest in the world.
It is stagger ing to realize that if this rate of growth is not checked, Malaysia's population, which is now about nine and a half million people, will double in twenty- five years' there are time.

While possibilities for reducing the rate of population growth in the long-run, in the short space of the next five years, no be effected.

The population of Malaysia will grow to about eleven million by serious 1970 and challenge indeed to the effort to provide rising improved income social services.
this presents a levels and substantial reduction can steadily increasing Sir, in order to attain the objectives income and of reducing unemployment during the period when our population is increas ing rapidly and the value of our tradi tional exports is likely to grow only slowly, the Plan calls for the develop ment of new patterns of economic activity.

It calls for the development of new export products, in particular oil palm and timber, for which there traditional are bright propects.
But export commodities are not likely to to earn enough foreign exchange over the next five years to pay for our import needs.

Therefore, the Plan accords top priority the production within Malaysia of an accelerated volume of those commodities which are at present imported.

There are favourable pros pects for substituting domestic produc tion for imports in both the agricul tural and the industrial sectors.
The and other production of foodstuffs for which agricultural commodities reliance on imports is heavy must be increased.

Most important of all, the extremely good opportunities which exist for increased output of manu factured goods for the domestic market must be exploited.

Only if all these possibilities are seized will it be possible to substain the growth of the economy in the long run.
the and low these those in the private sector To bring about the exploitation of all immediate possibilities for increas ing production, to strengthen the base of our economy for future growth and community social to provide in services for all our people, and income particular groups, it will be necessary for the country to spend a sum of $10,500 million on development during the next five years.

The public sector's share in this total is $4,550 million and is that for $4,950 million.
If targets are reached—and the Government is confi dent that they will be—average income in the country will rise by over five per cent.

Although this rate of increase is modest, it will be a considerable achievement, in the face of relatively unfavourable external factors, to pro tect per capita from declining and help them to rise, at the same time to lay the foundation for a new economic structure.

Moreover, the anticipated rise in income levels will accumulate improve ments in a few years' time.
As far as nearly is employment 380,000 new to be jobs are created in Malaya and 80,000 in Sabah and Sarawak making total of 460,000 new jobs for Malaysia.

This its will reduce unemployment from present rate of six per cent of the labour force to about five per cent in 1970 a rate comparable with that of substantial concerned, income levels likely to a 5751 15 DECEMBER 1965 5752 even some of the most developed countries in the world.
This will indeed be a considerable achievement and will result sufficient the creation of employment to match the growth of the labour force.

in It will continue to improve the already high level of social and community services available in the country so that all Malaysians will have the opportunity of leading a fuller, better and more satisfying life.
than industrial important Even more the immediate income and employment goals of the Plan are the preparations it embodies for accelerated develop ment in the long run.

The emphasis given in the Plan to education and training, to rural development and the diversification of economic activities, to applied to family planning and research, agricultural and will yield sizeable returns in the years ahead.
The First Malaysia Plan has been formulated as the initial phase in a 20-year Perspective Plan of economic and social development, which envis ages level of income per capita of $1,500 by 1985.

The achievement of long-run target will the First Malaysia Plan is implemented success fully and tempo of development is attained in subsequent Five-Year development plans.
the attainment of a that a require rising that this A major share of the responsibility for attaining the income and employ ment objectives of the Plan will lie with the private sector.

In the past, private enterprise has served the cause of development in Malaysia with con siderable effectiveness.

It has injected into the economy a degree of vigour is one of our and greatest assets.
The Government is confident that Malaysia's enterpreneurs, whose number and quality is increas ing daily, will continue to render signi ficant service in the solution of the challenging economic tasks ahead.

initiative which For its part, the Government will provide whatever technical and capital assistance are necessary.

It will expand and orient its educational system to train the men and women required to modernise and energise the Malaysian economy.
It will strengthen in Malaya, and expand considerably in the Borneo States, our transport and communica tion facilities and electricity and water supply systems—all of which are the physical foundation of our economy.

It is all to better too evident the Government will to provide For its part also, the Government will continue to strive for equality of economic opportunities for all Malay sians.
today that despite the massive efforts of the Government in recent years, there are still insufficient opportunities for low- income groups themselves.

Under the First Malaysia Plan, there intensify fore, its efforts facilities and opportunities for the rural population low and other in urban areas levels to improve of economic and social well-being.
Our work in this direction will not slacken completely satisfied that every Malaysian has the opportunity the to development of his country and receive in return the fruits of all his efforts.

income groups to participate until we their are in For all these economic and social development programmes, the Govern ment will spend a sum of about $3,810 million during the next five years.

The bulk of this allocation will be for economic projects.
Of this allocation, over $1,000 million will be for agri cultural and rural development.

The remainder will be for roads, ports, communications, power, water supplies and other economic services.

More than $800 million will be for social services, of which education expen diture will take up more than half.

Besides the $1,000 million to be spent on agriculture and rural projects, which will development directly benefit the rural people by raising their productivity and income levels, expenditure in other areas will also contribute to rural development.

Much of the expenditure to be incurred for education, health, transportation and water supplies will be made in the areas.

Malaysia's urban sector will also share in the develop ment of social and economic services which will take place during the Plan period.
Additional housing, education, health, transport and power facilities will contribute to making urban life more pleasant and more productive.

rural by that for Defence On a regional basis, the allocation for economic and social development the Government expenditure (excluding and Internal Security) will be about $3,110 million for Malaya, $300 million for Sabah and $400 million for Sarawak.
The target for Malaya is about 32% more than similar expenditure in the last five years, while the targets for Sabah and Sarawak are greater by respectively.

The 47% targets for Sabah and Sarawak are than also substantially greater those which Government the to allocate when sub endeavoured Inter-Governmental the to scribing the Committee Report and 57% Central prior to for to ensure establishment of Malaysia.
Difficult as our financial position will be over the next years, the Government is deter mined that as much as possible is spent in the development of these two States.

This is essential if is to be their level of development brought closer to that of Malaya.

The targets the Borneo States do provide for this.


In fact, if the cost of accommodation the armed forces and police is taken into account, the total sums allocated to the Borneo States are more than 80% greater than the comparable amounts spent in 1961-65.

They constitute the maximum amount of funds that can be used for the development effort within the technical and administrative capacities of both Sabah and Sarawak.
facilities for is unfortunate The development expenditure pro gramme of the Government of $4,550 million during 1966-70 also provides for $740 million to be spent on expanding the nation's military and police capabilities so that with the help of our friends abroad, Malaysia will be able to withstand any potential threat from its enemies in and outside the country.

It that expenditure of the scale envisaged for military and police is necessary.

But we have no choice in this matter.


For so long as any threat is against our existence and ideals to imminent, we must be prepared meet it.

All our efforts at building up an independent, democratic, happy and prosperous Malaysia would come to nought if we were to be defeated by those powers and forces which are unceasingly attempting subjugate this nation, its people, its ideals and its spirit.

requirements to Mr Speaker, Sir, the First Malaysia Plan is indeed a bold programme.
And its financing will present a challenging task to the Government for, in addition to the cost of the development effort, the Government's need for recurrent expenditure is also rapidly mounting.

Every endeavour will be made to curb recurrent purposes expenditure for intensified through to attempts the cost of Government minimise increases operations.
Even recurrent that will be then required the in 5755 15 DECEMBER 1965 5756 expenditure will be sizable in view of the expanding and widening responsi bilities of the Government particularly in fields of education, health, communications, defence and internal security.

the It is therefore unavoidable that the Government has to seek additional financial resources through taxes and charges of various kinds and further domestic borrowing.
In this endeavour, we call for full co-operation from all Malaysians who have the interest of their country at heart.

The Government will be constrained in its endeavour to promote economic and social develop ment if Malaysians themselves do not continue to play their part in shoulder ing their responsibilities.

The Govern ment appreciates that Malaysians are taxation a already contributing portion of is comparable with that in many other progressive countries.
We ask simply that all Malaysians accept the respon sibility of contributing in taxation the same proportion of country's national income throughout the next five years as they are doing today.

We also ask individuals, busi investors nesses increase their purchase of government securities.

Honourable Members will, I am sure, agree that in terms of the substantial benefits that will accrue to us and our children, these sacrifices will be worth making.
that institutional income which their and the in from through The Government will supplement resources obtained taxation and domestic non-bank borrowing by running down its accumulated assets and by borrowing from the banking it system.

The amount which is planned latter the to obtain source has been very carefully consi dered, for we are determined not to create inflationary conditions which would undermine this country's finan cial stability.
Such a situation would prevent the attainment of our invest ment targets.

It would also bring about much suffering for most of us since it would lead to a progressive reduction purchasing power of our in incomes.

the for the After allowing the Government recurrent expenditure needs of the Government during the next five years, the funds which will be available for public development expenditure will amount to $2,650 million.
As the development expenditure programme requires $4,550 million, to finance the remainder of $1,900 million by seeking foreign loans and foreign grant assistance.

We will justify such financial through continued support policies which are sound and develop ment policies which take every possible advantage of favourable opportunities for economic progress.
and public intends private requests Mr Speaker, Sir, Malaysia has received some assistance from many countries in and outside the Common wealth in the last five years.

For this we are indeed very grateful.

In the next five years, when our problems and difficulties will multiply, it is our hope that our friends abroad will respond for much greater to our assistance than we have received in the past.
We are confident that our requests will not go unheeded for they, as much as we, firmly believe that there is much the developed nations can do to help the poorer nations in to attain a higher their endeavour standard of if for one living.

But, reason or another, our confidence in their professed intentions is misplaced, then we shall have no alternative but to trim our development programmes.
This would indeed be unfortunate, to the programmes say the the First Malaysia incorporated Plan have already been severely pruned and the level we have set for maintaining minimum necessary the this country.

tempo of development least, for in the in is Another problem which will affect the rate of economic progress in this country is the shortage of trained and skilled manpower.

This will affect the development efforts of the Government as well the private sector.
The problem is particularly serious in Sabah where there is an acute shortage not only of skilled but even of unskilled man power.

5757 15 DECEMBER 1965 5758 into resources immediately, These shortages have resulted in a rate of development in the recent past which is lower than might otherwise have been achieved.

Although signi ficant progress has been made in increasing the output of trained and skilled personnel, the problem is still of sizable proportions.
It will continue to constrain the development of the economy in the next five years.

And if bold measures are not taken to step up the development of this nation's human the deficiency of skilled manpower will continue the to plague us far future.

This is a predicament which we must avoid.

In this age of science and technology, rate of Malaysia's economic development will be deter mined not only by our material resources but also by our success in developing and in utilising effectively the our people.
It is for this reason that high priority is being given in the First Malaysia Plan to education and training.

that our It education system is being re-fashioned.

We want to meet not only the objectives of universal literacy but also the economic goals of our country by producing an increas teachers, ing number of Malaysian agricultural engineers, specialists, technicians, economists, doctors and administrators.
nation-building capacities of is also for this reason intellectual and the Mr Speaker, Sir, I have already indicated to this House the nature of the many economic and social pro blems which confront this Nation.

We cannot and must not underestimate their gravity.

Malaysia is too depen dent on rubber and tin.

Our population is growing too rapidly.

There are still wide disparities between the "haves" and the "have-nots".

Our supply of skilled and trained manpower is much too low.
By their very nature, these formidable problems cannot be solved over-night.

But if they are not progres sively attacked and ultimately resolved, then the Malaysian economy will in time come to an awful standstill.

We have no time to lose.

We must intensify the onslaught on our basic problems now.

in and We the Government and the people of this country must brace ourselves to this challenge.

We must undertake all that is required of us to meet it.
This Government commits its energies and its resources to this task.

In turn, every Malaysian must each similarly dedicate himself to do all that is within his power and his means for the development of his country.

Only national this way will prosperity be progressively achieved.

Only in this way will all our people— in Malaya, in Sabah and in Sarawak— be provided with the opportunity of an increasingly better and happier life.

The stakes are high.


If we fail, national unity will be jeopardized and our very existence as a nation will be imperilled.

If we succeed, and succeed we must, step we will have forward towards the creation of a more united, secure and prosperous Malay sia.

(Applause).

taken a major Sir, I beg to move.

The Minister of Finance (Enche' Tan Siew Sin): Sir, I beg to second the motion.

Mr Speaker: The sitting is sus pended.

Sitting suspended at 11.06 a.m.


Sitting resumed at 11.30 a.m. (Mr Speaker in the Chair) Mr Speaker: Honourable Members, I have received a notice for Amend ment of this Motion under Standing Order 30 (4) which is quite in order.

The amendment is to make an addi tion of two words from the Member for Tanjong.

I shall now call upon the Member for Tanjong.


Dr Lim Chong Eu (Tanjong): Mr Speaker, Sir, under Standing Order 30 (4) and particularly under 4 (c), I wish to add the words "equal, just" after the words "a more united" and before the Motion standing in the name of the the word "secure" in 5759 15 DECEMBER 1965 5760 Honourable the Deputy Prime Minis ter.
In effect, Sir, the amended Motion will then read as follows: "That this House recognising the need to promote the integration of the peoples and the States of Malaysia and to build a more united, equal, just, secure and prosperous nation, approve the objectives, priorities and programmes of the First Malaysian Plan set out in Command Paper 45 in 1965".

And the rest of this Motion as it stands.

albeit temporal introduced into the fact idealistic.
After all, Sir, ever since the economists dis covered that any planned Utopia can very easily turn out to be a dystopia and therefore began to make limited projection plans for social and econo mic development, either in terms of scope or time, they have also generally let it be understood that even with such the limited plans they can, at very best, be considered to be theore tical and the philosophers, using the words of the Honourable the Deputy Prime Minis ter when he moved this Motion, have the put all these such matters simple acceptance of that "man proposes and God disposes".
However, Sir, politicians, especially politicians in power, have the queer characteristic of over-emphasising their omnipotence and mundane.

So, since the First Malaysia Plan was local public, and also to the world at large, we have had a spate of superlatives attributed to the Plan—bold and realis tic, sensible and reasonable, the great transformation, imaginative blue print for more progress, triumph for demo cracy, the big battle for prosperity, plenty for all, and so on.
Sir, the Honourable the Deputy Prime Minis ter today, I noticed was somewhat more guarded.

We, in the Opposition, Sir, accept the fact that all forward planning can at best be only theoretical and idealistic.

Therefore, we understand that with adequate propaganda the Government can easily overstress the rosier aspects of their planning and gloss over the the obstacles more sombre hues of which we must surmount.
For example, Sir, the Honourable the Deputy Prime Minis ter in giving the Alliance Party a pat on its own back, although the applause which was expected was surprisingly in moving his Motion this morning earlier on to our to referred forthcoming, not the achievements of the first two Malaya Plans, and all that they have to indi cate for us in this Command Paper 45 is contained in Table 2 (6) in page 28.

We notice, Sir, that the percentage of fulfilment is very impressive.
However, Sir, the highest percentage of fulfil ment is 456.8%, i.e.

41/2 times what was originally projected either in 1956 or 1961.

However, Sir, that particularly comes large under a very small item, industry, site development, other and rural industry, and other the provision development in industry a provision of $1 million in 1956 and $43.4 million in 1961.

Sir, therefore, the figures of the economists, the percentage assump tions of the economists can, be very beguiling.
fulfilment increase for for in But, Sir, I consider that it is chasten ing for all of us in this House to realise that the Honourable the Prime Minister has to appeal to all Malay sians to serve "in the battle for pros perity and security" and to "drive for a good life in the face of all dangers."

These words, Sir, are quoted from the foreword to this plan.

The Honourable the Deputy Prime Minister himself the today success of the Plan must depend upon the efforts of all Malaysians.
Sir, I consider these words of caution and advice I think it will be better for the Members of this House to restrain their emotions during the course of our debate over the First Malaysia Plan.

to be chastening because repeatedly indicated that The first ominous notes of warning had already been sounded by the Honourable the Minister of Finance, when he referred to the Plan during his Budget Speech.
Then he told this House that "it is crystal clear that a Plan which depends for its successful implementation on obtaining nearly 42% of the total resources required from foreign sources would fail unless this scale of assistance or something near it is forthcoming."

And when the Honourable the Deputy Prime Minister announced the Plan on December 10, he was con strained to say that the response of the 5761 15 DECEMBER 1965 5762 "Aid Malaysia Consultative Group" in Washington had been very encourag ing.
He further expressed the hope that friendly countries would respond posi tively and assist in securing the Plan's success.

This he has again seen fit and necessary to repeat today.

Thus, Sir, we are not surprised to find that the editorial of an English medium newspaper concluded with the blase observation that "Malaysia has a good case for foreign help, and the Plan puts it well".

It would be easy enough for an irresponsible Opposition to work on this theme of the need for foreign aid.
In fact, in page 31 of Command Paper 45 of 1965, we find the plan economic statement that "Now, however, Malay sia is shifting away from the position of a net creditor towards that of a net borrower."

But we are not an irresponsible Opposition.

On many occasions, Sir, I have told this House that we are a responsible loyal Opposition.
Even if the Honourable Minister of Finance would airily try to dismiss our opinion by saying that "what the Opposition says does not matter", he cannot succeed in doing this because what we say does matter, much as he would arrogantly like to ignore us when he said in reply to our comments in the Budget, "What they say and what they do are utterly irrelevant because they certainly have neither the power nor the means to assist us in anyway.
In other words, they just do not count and we can afford to ignore them."

Sir, this House and the Honourable the Finance Minister simply cannot do this because the people of Malaysia will not allow him to ignore us.

This was amply demonstrated by the crushing defeat of the Alliance Party at the Ayer Itam by-election, and once again repeated by the crush ing and humiliating defeat of the Alliance Party at the Rahang by- election on the very day the Alliance majority passed the Budget.
The people of this country realise that we are not an irresponsible Opposition, they understand that even the great mass of Alliance against majority in this House the few of us will continue to battle for what is right for the people of this country.

They understand that we are a loyal, democratic, responsible Opposition.
rebut They understand that when we said that the Government planning for the future "would not only make us but also our children go out bowl in hand begging at the Aid to Malaysia Club", we meant what we said.

Perhaps, we said it with more spice than the con clusions of the editorials to which I had referred earlier.
Nevertheless, the Honourable the Prime Minister tried to much this, apparently to laughter in the House—that, Sir, is what I gathered from the transcript that has been circulated because I was not present, because I had to return to Penang to attend the Penang State Assembly, where the Alliance State Government over there was trying to go one step further by presenting a deficit budget by running down our reserves in the State of Penang.
How ever, Sir, I would like to justify my point by referring Honourable Mem bers to the Development Estimates— and I say the Development Estimates are closely integrated to this Command Paper 45—page 27, Head 124, Sub head 21 "Pauper Fund" where provi sion is made for $146,000 in the First Malaysian Plan of which $70,000 will be financed next year, 1966, the first year of the Plan, from Loan expendi ture.
Sir, this little observation, I think supports our statements made earlier on in the session of this House.

Sir, as I said earlier, we could build up our criticisms of the Government's First Malaysia Plan upon such a theme.
But being a loyal and responsi ble Opposition, I would prefer to develop upon the theme set by the Honourable the Prime Minister him self, because I believe that in his fore word to the First Malaysia Plan he has clearly established the key-note of the entire 190 pages of the Plan itself.

The Honourable the Prime Minister wrote clearly: "The next few years will be crucial in the history of Malaysia."
The word crucial was repeated this the morning by the Honourable 5763 15 DECEMBER 1965 5764 Deputy Prime Minister.

"All Malay sians", I repeat the word, "All Malay sians need to redouble their efforts to sustain economic growth and develop ment in the face of the many complex problems and challenging tasks ahead."

term Again the "Challenging" was repeated many times.
Here, Sir, in a few words, every one in Malaysia should realise, with the same humility expressed by the Honourable Prime Minister himself in his future depends upon "all Malaysians".

this morning Sir, that our very foreword, It is in the light of this very reveal ing context that I decided to move the the the Honourable amendment Deputy Prime Minister's motion.
to Once we put aside all the problems of race, creed or colour and think and act as Malaysians, the challenges of the next few years become meaningful and worthy of all our efforts.
But should we ever permit ourselves to fall back upon the divisions of race, reli then the gion or political affiliation, future becomes meaningless and sterile in spite of whatever efforts we may now put up to meet the challenges that lie ahead of us; and it is interesting to note, Sir, that in announcing the Plan, the Deputy Prime the Honourable Minister definitely the benefits would accrue to all Malay sians irrespective of what sector they came from and much more interesting thing, Sir, irrespective of political affiliation.
That, Sir, was a very interesting statement.

stated that in Sir, its simplest is how I envisage the problems of the future as they have been framed for us by "Bapa Malaysia" himself.

terms that In the realities of our present multi racial society, we must meet and over come the social-economic challenges of the immediate future.

The crucial test is that we must advance together in this "battle for prosperity" as Malay sians, so the end we shall together enjoy the fruits of our efforts as Malaysians.
There can be no other meaning given to the challenges which lie ahead of us.

that in the As one prominent member of Alliance Cabinet has said so very succinctly, we are "co-owners" of this nation, Malaysia, and as such it is our duty to see that it must succeed.

So we must all respond to the clarion call of the Honourable the Prime Minister that we must redouble our efforts as Malaysians, so that Malaysia may be secure and properous.
And once again, I echo the words of the Honourable the Minister of Finance: "Let us hope that once the decision is made there will be no turning back because we cannot afford to turn back."

Sir, it is manifestly clear to all of us that the First Malaysia Plan can only if we examine it and be meaningful debate it as Malaysians.

There is no other way.


The amendment the motion, which I have made, is made after examination of the proposals put for ward in Command Paper 45 of 1965. to First of all, it is quite clear that the tasks ahead are enormous, and this is brought out all the more clearly when we are made to understand that the First Malaysia Plan only initiates the in transformation the Malaysian economy society, which will and require very much more than five years to reach full realisation.
The projection has been made up to 1985, 20 years from now, and unfortunately most of the publicity given to the Plan have to the benefits expected 20 referred years from now as though they would be realised in 1970.

The immediate problems of finan cing and manpower in the first five years of the Plan are enormous and complicated enough and the planners have been cautious enough to forecast the attainable goals of 1970 in moderate terms, and also to stress the dangers as clearly as possible.
A few references will clearly illus trate what I mean.

In paragraph 44, I quote: "By 1970 Malaysians will be enjoying higher income levels, a higher rate of employment and a wider range of public services they do at present."

However, Sir, no significant indications have been given to us as to what these new levels will be.
We than 5765 15 DECEMBER 1965 5766 have to make the assessment for our selves in terms of past performance based upon two Malayan the first Five-Year Plans and the more colour ful long-term prospects, which have been laid out in Command Paper 45 and which have been projected up to 1985. to Sir, for example, we are told that by 1970 there will be 460,000 additional jobs—this is given in paragraph 188— but that this will be slightly less than the rate of increase in total population.
The rate of unemployment will be reduced from 6% to 5.2%, but, how ever, Sir, we are further reminded that the total number of unemployed will continue remain about 160,000.

From these figures we are then led by expert juggling of ideas to the nebulous conclusion that "physical output per worker should increase by nearly 20% income per capita should and that rise"—this from paragraph 190.

That is what I mean by the cautious moderate terms of the planners.
It is a fair enough calculation, which one can accept if one accepts the quotients formulae used.

of these formulae are Whether or not reasonable" "realistic", "sensible or they are certainly "bold and imagi native".

the hypothetical is Sir, the solutions for requirements for high-level and middle-level man power are beautifully written in para graphs 215 and 216.
But crudely put, that we have to recruit they mean more under specialists" certain conditions to protect the rights co-operation of between and labour.

capital, management citizens, "foreign and the improvements Sir, the projected production indices of the agricultural programme is more clearly stated in paragraph 290 and in table 7-2 as indeed are the expected increases and the rural development.

To a certain extent this reflects creditably on the systematic the rural upliftment programmes of Government.
And, as I said, Sir, wherever we find that the Government has done well and we should co operate with it, we should do so.

And, to here, Sir, we take the occasion in congratulate the Government on what it has hitherto done in the rural uplift ing programmes.
Since Government policy with regard to industrial development is restricted to maintaining a favourable investment climate, provision of industrial estates and transport, power and communica tion facilities, and the granting of tax and other inducements as contained in paragraph 26, we should carefully note that the public development expendi ture for mining and industrial develop ment will total $115.8 millions of which MARA will absorb $70 million.

the major important the to is that When viewed against the problem of increasing employment opportunities, we note with concern that hitherto the pattern the manufacturing sector only provides on the average 10 full-time workers per establishment, and that 82% of the manufacturing establishments employ than 10 workers each—paragraph 358. less to We, therefore, urge the Government the to give greater consideration problem of employment opportunities in relation to the granting of pioneer industry status, which at the present time only bases its provision for a to capital tax holiday investment and not the to question of the provision for increased employment opportunities.
relation related in Sir, it is also interesting to note that Government is the nation's largest employer.

As such, it is imperative that the pattern of good employer-employee relationships and the development of free trade unions must be established and sustained by the Government.
5767 15 DECEMBER 1965 5768 We note with concern that no mention is made for the provision for the nation's review of educational system so the diverse systems that prevailing in the territories of Malaysia can be integrated and a more equitable policy laid down to establish a truly Malaysian programme.

Further, in spite of the development expenditure on education, the First Malaysia Plan will mean that the Government will have to recourse to foreign assistance.

local efforts indicated to meet the balancing.


But Sir, Health and Family Planning are in two diametrically opposed factors is it population chastening for us to appreciate that in spite of top priority given by Government to Family Planning as a Malthusian solution of our social and economic problems, the planners state quite firmly and I quote from para graph 46, that "if population continues to grow at 3% over the next 20 years the target level of per capita income could be no more than $1,400 at most."
(vi) that These references and remarks, Sir, will, I hope, bear out what I had said earlier the planners have been cautious enough to forecast the attain able goals of the First Malaysia Plan in moderate and perhaps in even guarded terms.

by called euphorically Even the full realisation of what has been the planners "the great transformation of Malaysian economy and society by 1985" is sober enough.
The target of a level of $1,500 of per capita income in 1985, when most of the country's current population will be middle- aged, and most of us in this House will be, we hope, fondly remembered ones, to assure every "would be sufficient Malaysian not luxurious, standard of living."
decent, though a this When is balanced with the proviso of the successful implementa tion of family planning, without which the per capita income may only be about $1,400, we can appreciate that at the end of 20 years Malaysians can expect to look forward to a standard of living which is perhaps just a shade better off than that which now prevails in Singapore.

This then is the sum total of the "plenty for all", which we are daily cudgelled into believing by the newspaper, the radio and television.
of dangers this prospect against This then is the true picture of the "prosperity" we must battle for!

When we view the specific non-fulfillment which the planners have listed for us, I think, Sir, we will then have the true picture of how arduous the battle will be, and what the challenges mean, and perhaps we will begin to realise that the despairing plea of the Minister of Finance, "we cannot afford to turn back", is urgent and cogent.
We are in fact not engaged in a battle for pros perity, but we are in for a battle for continued survival.

Sir, I do not intend to be a spoil sport and cut short the applause and the praises for the Plan as it is set out.

As plans go, it is an illuminating and instructive beautifully document, written in parts, with wonderful new the ambiguous words laymen with the expert economist.

To parody Gertrude, Stein, one could say the Plan is a plan is a plan is a plan.
But when we look at it a little bit more critically, we will appreciate that the crucial years ahead of us are truly crucial.

to entrance the "baloney" of We should not gloss over our pro blems.

The Honourable Prime Minister wrote that "the Government does not conceal the immense problems with which the nation is confronted".

But I think the publicity and the propaganda on the Plan is not quite so explicit.
We should not conceal the immensity of the problems because we must gear the people to the realisation that we have a real battle in our hands, and fight that together as Malaysians because we can only as Malaysians.

Defeat in this battle for our social and economic future will mean only one thing—there will be no Malaysia at all.
Sir, it is interesting to note that the this battle we must triumph in 5769 15 DECEMBER 1965 5770 Honourable Deputy Prime Minister in moving his motion mentioned this very clearly, "that the stakes are high, and if we fail to achieve the target of this Plan, the very existence of this nation will be imperilled."

Those are the words which we heard this morning.

industry, we are page 99.


As to our prospects in the tin told cate mining gorically in paragraph 370, page 128, that "In the next five years a substantial decline is likely to occur in the output of tin from dredging as known deposits are gradually exhausted."

I be the commentary of Sir, let us refer quickly to the darker the aspects of planners.
Lest accused of spreading gloom, I shall quote both page and paragraph of the references so that Honourable Members will appreciate that these warnings are not cooked up by me but they are warnings which are contained in the Plan itself.

the planners have made the feasibility of for the need Sir, in page 5, paragraph 15, we come across the type of conditions which to the Plan.

qualify economic Discussing development, we are drawn to the fact that the population rate is growing at 3% a year.
The planners have this comment to make and I quote, "If economic growth is not rapid enough to provide job seekers, frustration and discontent will be the result."

And although family planning is advocated, we are at the same time warned: "But such a process takes time and until the birth rate is brought down the economy must grow rapidly just to keep average income levels even declining."
these new stagnating jobs for from or to though Referring still viable the rubber and tin industries, paragraph 20, page 7, we are warned as clearly as possible that "the two traditional bulwarks of the economy, and productive, do not have especially bright prospects for future growth of national income and employment.".

This warning is elaborated in greater detail when our attention is drawn to the fact that with regard to rubber, "despite in physical production, however, the value of exports declined .
.

.. reflecting the drop in unit price.

This drop in the export unit price was brought about by the strong and increasing competi rubber."
The tion synthetic observations, Sir, are made by the planners in paragraphs 245 and 246 in the substantial increase from that over Then we are clearly warned again in paragraph 23, page 8, and I quote, "The conclusion must be faced, there fore, the next five years export growth will be inadequate to finance import needs and maintain overall economic growth, even after allowance is made for export promo tion and diversification."
In view of the fact that Malaysia's economy is referred to as an "export economy", we do not know whether this stern con clusion is made to stimulate our people into greater efforts or whether it is tailored to put up a good case for foreign aid.

I have said, Sir, that my thesis is to drive home the fact that all Malaysians have to struggle and struggle hard for independent economic survival and progress.
We are warned in paragraph 28, page 9, that in spite of the pro visions of the First Malaysia Plan "it must be recognised, however, that living standards will improve only gradually during the next five years unless rubber and far better than anticipated.".

tin perform I had mentioned earlier that we have to make our assessments of the true nature of the projection of future deve lopment partly on our experience of past performance.
In page 11, para graph 35, we are told that during the period 1961-65, finances were not a limiting factor in public development expenditure.

But we are clearly warned that "in the next five years, however, finance will be the principal constraint on the public development expenditure programme."
What all this adds up to is that the First Malaysia Plan will to a large extent be financed by "mobilising the savings of individuals and institutions in Malaysia, utilising the accumulated assets of the public sector and obtaining loans and grants from abroad."

Sir, 5771 15 DECEMBER 1965 5772 those beautiful words obviously cannot come from me; they come from the planners themselves.
During the course of the 1966 Budget debate, Sir, J had strongly expressed our general dismay over the manner whereby the Alliance Government had frittered away our opportunities in the years since Merdeka.

So, once again, we note with some cynicism that the planners have again observed that "a determined effort will have to be made recurrent the growth of to restrain expenditure within limits."
certain Then, in order to ensure that recurrent expenditures do not increase un to obtain maximum necessarily and effectiveness from the money spent on public services, the Federal Govern ment has instituted an Economy Drive.

It has also undertaken a comprehensive review of the entire system of public administration.

Sir, this is shown to us in paragraph 37, page 12.
Since we had already made our com ments on this issue during the Budget debate, especially with regard to the iniquity of the telephone tax, which to our mind could have been offset by such an economy drive and a review of the system of public administration, all that is necessary for me to say now is that we in the Opposition will bear this constantly in mind in future debates on the Budgets or Supplementary Budgets and we shall not permit the Govern ment to forget indiscretions when, in the words of the Honourable Minister of Finance, "project estimates were too often revised upwards, some times more than once."
However, Sir, if we think that this is the only instance where to admit that it has suddenly realised its own shortcomings, we have only to turn to the next page, that is to say on page 13, to discover yet another evidence of Alliance recklessness.

the Government has had its past We are told in paragraph 42: "Apart from the problem of mobilising financial resources .

.

.. Malaysian economic and social development faces one other serious constraint .

.

..
.

..

This is the serious shortage of trained and skilled manpower .

.

.

.

but Malaysia as a whole badly needs a substantial increase in the number of trained personnel available."

requires that "training But, Sir, the sad observation is that although the Alliance Government time, knows especially at the professional level," it has not until now done anything con crete to solve the problem of "high- level manpower shortage".
After all the years of Alliance party having been in power, first in the Federation of Malaya and then in Malaysia, we read with real bitterness the admission in para- raph 43 (page 13) that the Government still does not actually know what our manpower needs are, for the Govern ment says: the manpower needs of "The Government is making every effort to ascertain the nation and develop training and educational programmes which will create the skilled men and women to satisfy these needs."
In these two references, Sir, we have sufficient causes to charge the Govern the ment for having contributed severity of the trials which lie ahead of us.

The challenges of the future, the enormity of our battle for a better life the this extent are due deficiencies of the party in power in the past.

to to to However, Sir, let us proceed with our examination of the warnings with their which the planners have laced exposition of the Plan.

Paragraph 47 (pages 15 and 16) reads, and I quote: " .

.

.

.
.

.

.

Even after 1970, present indica tions are receipts from Malaysian's current leading exports will not even come close to paying for her import needs " Then our attention is drawn cautiously to the "question of balance of payment stability", and it says: that " .

.. During the next five years .

.

.

"— the first five years of the Malaysia Plan— "the economy will be investing a larger amount than it will be saving."
But we had already been informed during the Budget debate that "this year the surplus on current account will almost completely disappear."

So, we are left wondering whether, in fact, there will be any savings at all.

The planners go on to tell us that "the balance will be financed by drawing down the country's foreign exchange reserves".
But because of the danger of this tendency we are cautioned that "the growth of public and private con sumption expenditures must be held 5773 15 DECEMBER 1965 5774 this within limits which are consistent with basic balance of payments stability."

that Further we are clearly advised "if is not strategic necessity achieved, the result will eventually be the exhaustion of the country's foreign exchange reserves.
This, in turn, will necessitate severe import controls, a sharp drop living standards as imported goods cease to be available and a probable decline in the rate of economic growth".

in the think Sir, I that we should all appreciate the real significance of the dire alternatives successful to implementation of the Plan.
This can perhaps be clearly understood if we look recommendations regarding the financing of economic growth, especially since the appraisal was made in the light of immediate past performance.

Paragraph 77 (page 30) says: through the " .

..

The total expenditure in (1960-65) in the economy rose more rapidly than gross national product."

Paragraph 78 says: " .

..

In I960 Malaysian output exceeded total expenditure, so that there existed a considerable surplus on goods and services account.
Exports grew extremely slowly during the period 1960-65; .

.. as a result, total expenditure rose to become approxi mately equal to output in 1963-64 and the initial surplus was eliminated And, as I have already quoted, the that "Malaysia observation is shifting away from the position of a net creditor to that of a net borrower."

Paragraph 80 says: is made .

.

."

level of private " .

.

.

.


The declining surplus on goods and services, combined with the continuing transfer payments high abroad, has led to a reversal in the balance of payments on current account from a sizeable surplus in 1960 to a deficit for the years 1964-65 taken together."
Paragraph 81 (page 32) says: "The financial position of the public sector, like that of the balance of payments, moved from one of substantial financial resources to increased financial stringency under the impact of the development pro grammes."

Sir, we can go on quoting such samples of danger signals from the experts and, as I said, these are not my words, but these are the words of this the planners as contained in Command Paper itself.
But I think that at this stage it will be sufficient for us to summarise the challenges which we are asked now to meet in this fashion.

First of all, if we do not make the to pull ourselves out of our effort present predicament and we cannot afford to turn back, then we are faced with a sharp drop in living standards and exhaustion of reserves.

The present position is, in fact, not one of bouyancy and resilience, but one of "increased financial stringency."
During this period of the First Malay sia Plan living standards will improve only gradually.

Even after 1970, pre sent indications are that receipts will not even come close to paying for our import needs.

The long term prospect, the requirements of Family if even Planning is merely that "every Malaysian will be assured of though not a decent, luxurious, standard of living."

successfully met, are in That, Sir, is how we interpret the First Malaysia Plan to be as set out in Command Paper 45 of 1965.
These are the down to earth facts.

We must face them as such.

We should not beguile the people of the country into thinking terms of "greater pros perity".

"plenty for all", and so on.

The simple truth is that if we do not work to make this Plan succeed, then the future is dire indeed.

But if we work hard to make the Plan succeed, then we can assure our children of a decent standard of living.
Mind you, Sir, it is worth our while to repeat this just "a decent standard of living", and there is nothing luxurious about it.

It is our firm opinion that it will be cruel to mislead our people with false hopes, brighter than they can ever be attained in the light of the considered opinions of the planning experts.
We consider this unrealistic and cruel because after all the efforts which we have been asked to make, Malaysians will one day come to the full realisa tion that the Alliance picture of the future, which is presented in a rosy manner, is a false one.

It would be better for us to tell our people in simple clear terms that we 5775 15 DECEMBER 1965 5776 must make the effort now, or else we shall fall backwards economically and socially.
Since the Honourable Prime Minister has called upon all Malay sians to make this national effort, we can paraphrase this by saying that if to in Malaysians fail their duty respond to act now as the call to Malaysians, there may be no Malaysia worthwhile living in 1985.
Before I go on to make my observations as to how we can better mobilise our national efforts towards the attainment of a better Malaysia, I think that we should further examine the report of the planners in search of some clues which may help us to suggest alterna tive concepts of economic development.
I shall do references For this purpose, Sir, I think it will pay us well to examine in even finer detail the contents of pages 14 to 27, because these deal with the long-term prospect, the problems of financing the progress of recent the economy in this by making years.

general and by general observations in order to formulate and the con advance general views for sideration of and Honourable Members.
As I had said at the very beginning, these observa emotional tions restraint, and having put aside all possible communal I would like to put forward my sugges tions in the same spirit as the Honour able the Prime Minister's appeal to all of us as Malaysians.
are made with the Government interpretations, Sir, without any doubt at all, to all those of us who have been accustomed to the concept of Malaysia, as it was defined in our very Constitution until the fateful day of August 9, 1965, the wellbeing of our nation at the present time and in the immediate future must be closely interlinked with that of the Republic of Singapore.
And, therefore, it is with some considerable interest that the only mention made to that state throughout the entire 190 pages of the First Malaysia Plan appears in page 18, paragraph 52.

I quote, Sir: "The new nation of Malaysia was formed in September, 1963, and subsequently found it necessary to defend itself against political and military confrontation.

The separation of Singapore from Malaysia in August, 1965, led to a further change in political bounda ries.
These important political developments, however, did not disrupt the steady economic progress of Malaysia."

Sir, these are obviously the views of the planners and of the Alliance Party in power.

Whether or not they truly reflect the opinions and sentiments of the general public remains to be seen.
To the mind of the members of the loyal Opposition, certainly these pious expressions of opinion are somewhat unrealistic, and to us it is perhaps too early to determine what the future may yet mean to us, and the consequences of the too hasty and unpremeditated eviction of Singapore from Malaysia must still be regarded with extreme caution.
It has already been mooted in inter national circles by very prominent members of the Alliance Cabinet that this eviction or separation is only of a temporary nature, and that the day may yet come when the reintegration or reunification of these two territories will again become a reality.
But it is nevertheless clear to all of us that the old formula for the reintegration of these two territories cannot be revived, and whatever the future may bring we must carefully calculate upon how these two independent States must be geographical, demographical and eco nomic together terms be brought again.

the that So, it is with interest and with some concern the that we observe twenty-year projection of our national development plan did not take into account this very important possibility.
We are left with the question as to whether the reintegration of these two territories—perhaps, Sir, term "reintegration" is not appropriate, be cause it was due to the former colonial system that the two territories were kept asunder, and a better term would be to use "reunification" since the two territories had, in fact, been incorpo rated under the original definition of the "Federation of Malaysia"—how ever, we are left with the question whether the reunification of Singapore and Malaysia must be carefully con sidered in any projection plan which 5777 15 DECEMBER 1965 5778 spans a period of twenty years.
What ever the answer to this very controver sial question may be from the Alliance point of view, we in the Opposition consider that this is .

.. .

Tuan Haji Ahmad bin Saaid (Se- berang Utara): Mr Speaker, Sir, on a point of clarification—what has the statement of the Honourable Member got to do with the amendment which he brought up to this House for con sideration?

I see that there is no bear ing at all in his amendment with regard to the separation of Singapore.
Dr Lim Chong Eu: It is quite clear, Sir, that in moving the amendment I am also to taking discuss the Plan.

the opportunity Mr Speaker: Yes, I have allowed that, because we are supposed to have the amendment moved together with the substantive motion.

However, I the Honourable Member over think there in that you bring in is right Singapore too much.

Dr Lim Chong Eu: I am coming to it immediately because I am referring to the Common Market.
the problems of told firmly by Sir, it is surprising that the Plan has completely omitted any reference to the less political and less controversial the and specific economic issues of establishment of a Common Market between Malaysia and the independent State of Singapore.

We have been told and the Honourable Minister of Finance in his own inimit able manner, that we must refer to tariff arrangements within the States of Malaysia as arrangements within the Principal Customs Area.
There fore, we conclude that the term "Com mon Market" would be applied in our economic other countries and, in particular, with the new Republic of Singapore.

relationship with Sir, I say this quite categorically, in spite of the fact that I am quite con scious that certain more emotional and, therefore, more chauvinistic and ultra elements within Malaysia may overtly or subversively object to what I have to say.
Sir, I say quite categori cally that we cannot make a realistic projection plan into the future in the space-time of twenty years without taking into due consideration the signi ficance and importance of the estab lishment of a "Common Market" between Malaysia and Singapore.

After all, Sir, the establishment of a Common Market was a major corner stone in the concept of the establish ment and creation of Malaysia.
The Rueff Mission was specifically com missioned to look into the long-term prospects of this particular economic project.

The abolition or the non- acceptance of this concept of a "Com mon Market" between Malaysia and Singapore may well negate the fulfil ment, the successful fulfilment, of both the First Malaysia Plan and of the Second Five-Year Plan of Singapore.
To our mind, there is no doubt at all that the economic and social wellbeing, development and progress of the two intertwined and States, are closely indivisible, and no matter what the prevailing political situation and feel ings may be, certainly, Sir, the rest of the world, especially those nations who are particularly close and friendly to us, will have every reason to ask they should extend themselves why any aid to us when the closest and the most neighbouring State of Singapore is excluded from all our economic calculations.
And if the only reply to this question that we can offer is that certain extreme elements within our midst would prevent it, perhaps, as reported in an English-medium news paper of 14th December, then we should not be surprised when the Aid to Malaysia Club begins to have second thoughts about the basic nature of our problems.
Sir, in all seriousness, I suggest to the Government that one of the funda mental omissions of the projection formulae of the planning experts is the deliberate omission of the factor of the Common Market between Malaysia and Singapore.

This is a very serious omission, an omission which can well unbalance the entire projection plan for the future of Malaysia, particularly with regard to the private sector, local some and investments.
To foreign 5779 15 DECEMBER 1965 5780 is spite of what their kith and kin extent, this is a political issue, but, Sir, I am talking in social-economic terms, as precisely and as unemotionally as any professional economist would do in the dedication of his profession.

After all, Sir, can we ever hope to stop the people in Malaysia from con stantly comparing our status between that of living across the half-mile Causeway?
Sir,— Kuching, Jesselton, Baram, Sandakan, less Sibu, Tawau are all names far familiar to the citizens of peninsula Malaysia than Singapore.

And if this is a fact, then more so are all these places I have named far less known to the rest of the world than Singapore, in the Honourable Minister of Finance in his peculiarly arrogant and wry manner might ask whether "Singapore two hundred and twenty square miles at high or low tide".
Sir, from the very predic tions of the planning experts them selves, we all understand clearly that, even after strenuous efforts, those of us for a in Malaysia can only hope standard of living twenty years from now, which is only a shade better than what prevails this present moment in terms of per capita income.
Should our parents forget to take their oral contraceptives, also those more chauvinistic forget to use the applied resources of our major national product and industry, and thereby the Family Planners get them selves all mixed-up in the usual post- Malthusian confusion, then the very best which we can hope to provide for future generations of Malaysians is a standard of living based upon the per capita income of $1,400.
Even if we were all the to assiduously instructions of the Family Planners in the hope that scientific knowledge will the omnipotence of God's surmount will, the national per capita income in 1985, Sir, not in 1970, will be $1,500.

Both these figures of Malaysia's pro gress towards our greater prosperity will be less than 20% more than what the people of Singapore are enjoying today, right now.

in Singapore at follow This is a fact.

It is a fact as clear as the face we see of ourselves in the mirror.
How can we ignore it?

Even the ultras and extremists would if insist want to brush it aside, the weight of the economic arguments will not per mit us to do so.

The needs of future Malaysians that we must not ignore this consideration.

The very sense of political duty and resposibility condemns the reasons why the factor of the "Common Market" was so completely and absolutely omitted and blanked out in the Plan submitted for our consideration.
It is simply crazy for us to believe that the social and economic development and progress of Malaysia can advance without due consideration of what is taking place at the same period of time across the the I Causeway.
Sir, Alliance Government that this is one of the formulae used in making the projection plans, particularly in the long term projection plans in Command Paper 45. the basic faults of suggest to The next fundamental criticism, Sir, which I am going to make against the Plan is, to some extent, anticipated by what the planners have to say them selves in page 6, paragraph 17; and in page 15, paragraph 46 (iii).
In brief, Sir, these two references state; "Finally, the fruits of economic growth so far have been unevenly dis to alleviate poverty tributed."

" .

.

.. by providing improved facilities and opportunities .

.

.

. "

"The resources needed for this effort, if they are not to be extracted at great sacrifice from the rest of the population, can come only from economic growth."
This first observation (in page 6) makes it quite clear that the social economic future of Malaysia depends upon Malaysians, that is to say upon our determination to surmount our present racial and communal, religious and feudal divisions, by our determination to think and act as Malaysians.

The second reference is the more important of the two and so I quote it in full.
Sir, in page 15, paragraph 46 (iii) on Income Redistribution: "Without conflicting with the aim of raising the general income level, Malaysia's low-income groups will be brought closer to the general income level, so that economic development will yield the fullest possible human benefits.

This will be done primarily by means of policies designed to increase to society.
their productive contributions 5781 15 DECEMBER 1965 5782 Education and the application of science to agriculture offer two promising opportunities for using public investment to bring about this objective."

Sir, as a pure statement of economic feasibility, this proposition is academic and, as such, acceptable.

But, Sir, to our mind, the translation of this theme into practice must necessarily be poli tical.
Therefore, it is over this issue that we find ourselves most politically critical of the successful implementa tion of the First Malaysia Plan.

The crucial problem of the entire Plan is simply one of how we are to promote our economic growth and having done so, how we are in turn to ensure that the national wealth will be more equally and justly distributed so that all those who have contributed their efforts to ensure our national development and progress will equit ably enjoy the fruits of their labour.
the And we note with official paper publication "Malaysia" one of the objectives, as defined by the Honourable Deputy Prime Minister then, which was left out the equitable distribution of wealth.

It is here, Sir, that I am developing my theme of amendment.

in his motion, was interest the of today in It is simple enough for the planners to talk in terms of per capita income.
But everyone in this country knows very well that the truth of the position is that there are those whose incomes per month run into tens of thousands of dollars and then there are those who in spite of all their efforts can only secure a monthly income of as low as $40.

And we must not forget that there will always be 160,000 of our citizens who will be unemployed, simply because there are not enough jobs to go round.
termed The declared policy of the Alliance Party in power is to create what they have property-owning "a society."

To those of us whose political idealogies are orientated to the con cepts of democratic socialism, such a policy cannot equitably resolve the present uneven distribution of econo mic growth.

Sir, we accept the philo sophical terms used by the Honourable Deputy Prime Minister earlier on.

It is under political terms, Sir, that we find ourselves in disagreement.
the the gap between It is not enough for us to simply classify in Malaysia imbalances into the "haves" and the "have-nots" and then to say that the Plan will two bridge economic social groups.

It is even less equitable when the suggestion is made the "haves" generally can be that the urban population equated with the rural the "have-nots" with and population in this country.

these Everyone knows that there are also the urban "have-nots" and the rural "haves".
The only rational approach to the problem is to accept the fact that economic distinctions cut across all sectors of our multi-racial national community.

The solution of the pro blems of economic inequalities cannot, therefore, be satisfactorily resolved by the of "property-owning society", more so when there are overtones of foreign capital exploitation of our national resources and there are also the under tones of a feudal and communal insistence upon priorities.
capitalist-orientated policy fully Malaysian Our problems are Malaysian, and they must be resolved by policies which are in drive and purpose.

Our problems are economic and they can only be resolved by the application of equal and just policies the distribution of wealth.

The of urban capitalist-entrepreneur is no less a factor of uneven distribution of our economic growth as is his counterpart, the rural capitalist entrepreneur.
And the local capitalist is no less capable of amassing greater wealth for himself, out of all proportion to the national per capita income, then his counterpart, the foreign capitalist.

The answer to the problem of a more equitable income distribution can only be found in democratic socialist principles.

To this extent, we are unable to find much comfort from the the Alliance economic platitudes of policies.
There single statement the entire Plan which ensures that after the industrial, com mercial and other urban workers have increasing contributed is not one their part in in 5783 15 DECEMBER 1965 5784 productivity they will be assured of an equal and just reward consonant with their labour.
There is not one single statement which ensures that after the fishermen and other agri farmers, cultural workers have played their part in increasing the productivity of our nation in the agricultural sectors of our economy, they will be assured of a more equal and just distribution of the wealth which they have laboured to increase.
All that we are told is that there will be a higher per capita income, without any qualifying state ment that the worker will be accorded the equal and just distribution of the wealth he has helped to develop in accordance to the level of labour he has put in.
Sir, we consider that over this ques tion of income distribution, the farmers and the workers of Malaysia will only be able to reap the full benefits of their labour if we equate the concepts of economic growth with the more equal and just political policies of democratic socialism.
And to ensure that in the future the already rich will not become richer and the present poor become poorer in Malaysia, we should like to stress the development of more co-operatives in the rural areas, the unsuppressed development of free trade union movements in the urban areas, and the Federal Government should even now apply more effective the external out safeguards against flowing of profits and increased wealth.
that The planners have already observed that the Government must exercise greater economy and control over the public expenditure.

The Government has promised us the implementation of an economy drive and a new and better system of public administration.
We shall watch these developments with great care, for hitherto this has been a sizable drain on our national economy, and we must stress our view the national administration as it exists at present is not geared, sufficiently geared, for a dynamic development of our economy.

that Sir, we are constantly concerned over the manner whereby Government as largest employer, had the nation's restricted the proper development of good employer-employee relationship.
and more Today we have more Government employees whose pro ductivity has not been fully calculated and assessed and who are paid less than what they ask for because of our present austerity budget, whereas it is apparent the Government may be able to do with fewer employees who are adequately and commensurately paid, implement our new were we to as system administrative possible.
soon as living, not Sir, it is clear that the incentives for greater effort on the part of our people will not be sufficiently strong if we are to mobilise our national effort on the basis of the attainable objectives of the plan.

After 20 years of redoubled efforts we can only be assured of a luxurious, based decent upon an expected per capita income level of $1,500 family planning if succeeds, and a lower level of $1,400 if it does not succeed.
It is also clear that the possible dangers of non-fulfil ment of the Plan are numberous and dire.

Therefore, Sir, we can only conclude that the economic incentives must be fortified by sound political motivation.

The Honourable Prime this very Minister has appreciated appealed clearly.
He has the country in the context of implicitly Malaysia and I quote his words, Sir,— "All these are Malaysians need their efforts in order to ensure the attainment of a better, happier and more peaceful life for all Malaysians".

Sir, those of us in the Opposition who subscribe to the concept of a Malaysian Malaysia fully support this clarion call by "Bapa Malaysia".
important words: redouble to to We urge everyone in Malaysia to respond fully to the appeals made by the Honourable Prime Minister in the absolute spirit of Malaysians that he has made them.

Similarly, Sir, the Motion standing in the name of the Honourable Deputy Prime Minister is the political corollary to the economic incentives of the First Malaysia Plan.
Since the national too reflects spirit already heralded by the Honour able Prime Minister, to that extent Sir, this 5785 15 DECEMBER 1965 5786 we find ourselves almost in accord with the text of the Motion.

However, Sir, as I have tried to establish in my survey of the Plan there are certain issues which determine our reservations in giving full accord to the Motion as it now stands.
The basic and fundamental issue is that the increased growth in our national economy must be distributed in a more equal and just manner.

in Therefore, Sir, I have proposed to amend the Motion of the Honourable the Deputy Prime Minister by the simple addition of two simple words, the words "equal" and "just" after the words "a more united" the Motion.
This will further augment the spirit shown by the Honourable Prime Minister; this will further strengthen our resolve and the purpose and objec tive of the Plan.

Surely, Sir, the nation will be more united because it is more equal and just.

The nation too will be more secure if it is more united, more equal and more just.

The pros perity will become more meaningful and bring about greater happiness if this prosperity will be shared more equally and more justly.
The people of Malaysia will, therefore, be able to enjoy a greater happiness life and a more peaceful way of if they realise that whatever the fruits of our efforts may be, we shall be sharing or however little they may be, we shall be sharing what we produce under the guidance of the First Malaysia Plan in a more equal and just manner, and thereby, Sir, we will be better able to buffer and to overcome any lack or short-coming in the amount of foreign aid which is anticipated by the Plan.
them, however much increased Sir, the Malaysia of the future will be a more meaningful nation to all Malaysians if this House today will accept the amendment which I have proposed, so that the Malaysia which we are now called upon to build will be a more united, equal, just, secure and prosperous nation.

Accordingly, Sir, I call upon the Members of this House to support the amendment which I earnestly hope will be accepted in good spirit by the Government.

Sir, I beg to move my amendment.


Enche' C. V. Devan Nair (Bungsar): Sir, I beg to second the amendment.

to do what the Opposition the hidden side of Sir, this morning, from the Honour able the Deputy Prime Minister, we heard the rosier side of the Plan— perhaps you are aware, Sir, there is always a seedier side to every rosier side.
We have been shown this morn ing, Sir, the bright and visible portion of the moon, but it must be the task of the Russian and the American rockets try to do, and that is to spotlight and to photograph the moon.

Sir, the purpose of all economic planning must be prosperity, and pros perity is not of much use if it is only to be confined to the few and not extended to the many.
If you want to to the many, extend then it is obvious that your primary objective must be to achieve a more just and equitable distribution of the is doubtful national wealth.

Sir, it has been whether worked out has been realistically conceived with a view to achieving the primary objective of a fairer, more just, and more equal society.

A critical survey of the Plan, Sir, will show that it is otherwise.
the prosperity the Plan as it The main problems of Malaysian been economic have stated in the Plan as follows: development (a) A heavy dependence on two export products—rubber and tin.

But the Plan does not indicate how this dependence is really to be overcome.

It continues, as in to devote the previous Plan, more attention to maintaining the present dependence and also on putting more into opening up new lands for rubber.
This, Sir, maybe to some extent inevitable and necessary, but the complaint, however, is that not enough attention has been paid in the Plan to the task of diver sification.

Only very marginal efforts are given ever to develop ing other sectors.

effort (b) The Plan admits problem is the high that another rate of 5787 15 DECEMBER 1965 5788 low population increase.

This is to some extent a characteristic of rural and income groups.
There is no attempt to alleviate this, except by some effort at family planning.

But overwhelm ing international experience, Sir, will show that the effectiveness of family planning very seldom does seep into the rural areas.

Improvements in living standards and education will help, but the plans in this respect are vague and not sufficiently specific.

this disparity.

On (c) The authors of the Plan admit the fact that there is an uneven distribution of income which involves disparities between rural and urban dwellers.

However, to the Plan does not attempt the reduce contrary, the authors of the Plan, Sir, ignore the whole range of possibilities of taxation in order to achieve the objectives of re also distribution.
We note, Sir, that there are a large proportion of urban dwellers who are not so well off, as well as increasing numbers of unemployed for whom no pro per development schemes are envisaged.

should the (d) The of human development skills is also mentioned in the Plan but no details are given of any specific schemes and pro jects.
The main idea seems to> be to keep more children in school by extending secondary educa tion, but whether secondary and be vocational deliberately consciously and geared to help develop the skills and is the techniques required not known.

education will Thus although the Plan appreciates the main problems of our economy, there seems to be no significant appre ciation of the means to resolve them during the Plan period.
The detailed objectives of the Plan are listed out, Sir, in such a way that all possible objectives are stated, but there is hardly any attempt to reveal in concrete terms what proportion of the objectives can be and will be achieved.

In this respect, Sir, the Plan is similar to the previous Plan, the 1961/65 Plan.

It has been so written that it will be practically impossible against to measure themselves targets, as are rather vague.
the objectives achievements The Plan, Sir, is fairly realistic in assessing the prospects of the econo my.

It states that "export growth will be inadequate to finance import needs and maintain overall economic growth even after allowance for export promotion and diversification."
is made The analysis of the export potential, on page 45 of the Plan, is also fairly rea listic, but in spite of this fairly realistic assessment, Sir, the planners conclude that the aims of the economic pro gramme for the next five years is to traditional and new export promote possibilities, stimulate domestic food production and exploit to the fullest extent the excellent possibilities of industrial production catering for the domestic markets, and to continue to elaborate on the benefits that would accrue, but without really stating what plans and policies they have to achieve all these good things and to ensure growth.
This, Sir, is like counting the chickens before are hatched because: they (a) export prospects are admittedly poor; and (b) it is unlikely that domestic pro duction, especially with so little being done, would grow to make up the fall in exports and ensure future growth at a high level.

In the circumstances, Sir, the hopes of the planners may turn out to be fairly insubstantial dreams.

Our past export performance, Sir, does not allow for any optimism.
Apart from the high price of tin, the prices of rubber, copra, coconut oil, have all fallen in value: only timber has shown some increase.

The total value of our exports has only increased by 0.8 per cent between 1960 and 1965.

Thus, our continued reliance on exports can, at the most, be only a temporary measure and cannot be the 5789 15 DECEMBER 1965 5790 basis for future growth unless sub stantial new markets are found.
is no The development of domestic pro duction in the past has also not been very significant.

The data given on page 37 of the Plan that manufac turing has gone up by 11 per cent per annum indication, Sir, real because of the initially low base in 1960.

The increase in the proportion of consumption of locally manufac tured cigarettes, biscuits, soaps, cement, is not really an indicator of any real increase substitution.
import Altogether, Sir, the basis of hoping that economic growth can be main tained is not very satisfactory.

in that The overall performance of the economy in terms of the gross national output (based on the given figures) in the Plan was not bad.

However, it must be noted, Sir, the over- dependence on exports had already resulted in the fact that despite signi ficant increases in the volume of out put, the corresponding income growth has been significantly low.
This means, Sir, that all the effort at replanting of rubber and export promotion can only help at most to maintain existing levels and is, therefore, not likely to provide the basis for future growth.

Further, Sir, that rubber prices which had already fallen from 95 cents in 1960 to 75 cents in 1965 are likely to fall further to 60 the next five years.

This cents means.
This cents means.

Sir, roughly a 30% increase in volume of output will be needed to maintain the status quo with regard to income and only anything more than this can really provide the basis for growth and development.

is anticipated that in it With the export sector still being over 50% of the gross output, this can have significant repercussions on income and employment potential and development capacities.
The assump tion, Sir, that the domestic demand for local products can make up this deficit may be too hopeful for the following reasons.

the the that that somewhat misleading on the total per formance and the original targets.

It table will be noticed, Sir, that attempts the original to show target of development expenditure was $2,150 million and final expenditure in this period was $2,651.7 million, thereby giving roughly a fulfil ment of 123.3%.

All very well.
All very well.

But surely, Sir, there has been more than a little deception here.

If we turn to the Treasury Memorandum on the 1966, Development Estimates Table I, Sir, clearly shows that the total of $2,651.7 million includes State Government and public autho rities expenditure, which was not in the the Plan comparison is misleading.

target.

Therefore, Sir, for The proper thing to< do would to be exclude this figure.
Performance will then show only $2,099.1 million as against a target of $2,150 million.

An even more meaningful operation, Sir, would be to exclude defence expendi ture.

Then the performance drops to $1,791.8 million against an original target of $2,057 million.

fulfilment In addition, Sir, the proper measure of achievement must surely be the physical targets and the completion of projects, but on this the Plan provides no data.
As such, all statements of achievement have only a very limited significance as to they largely refer to real physical financial and not achievements.

From the tables it can be seen—on page 28—that in agricul ture, land development has had only 68% site and development 76% fulfilment.

Drainage and Irrigation, Roads and Bridges, Communications and Utilities have all had very performances.
Social Services have had fairly good fulfilment, but as it is financial data only, it is difficult to assess real per formance.

For example, Sir, Housing has had 86.8% fulfilment, but there seems to be not enough physical evidence to show what has really been done.

How many housing units have really been completed?


significant industrial Sir, the tables of development expen diture and performance in 1961/65, as the Plan, are given on page 28 of One of the main aims, Sir, of the First Plan was to create employment.
final estimates of employment The 5791 15 DECEMBER 1965 5792 growth in 1960-65 as given on page 35, Sir—and all the figures are given in thousand—shows that employment had increased from 2,174 to 2,518 as against the target of 2,500 and that unemployment had increased from 138 to 160.
This seems a fairly good per formance on the basis of the figures, but a closer scrutiny indicates, Sir, that it is not so, and for the following reasons: (i) the employment data itself is only a rough estimate and may be wide off the mark.

The 1961/ 65 Plan gave employment in 1960 as 2,215 (all the figures are thousands Sir) but this Plan uses a lower figure for 1960 at 2,174 less by 41,000.

If this, Sir, is a possible margin of error, then I submit that the figures can be quite unreliable.
(ii) The next reason, Sir, is that the agricultural sector is said to have provided employment to an addi tional 111,000.

This again, Sir, is deceptive .

.

.

Mr Speaker: Order, order.

This till 4.00 p.m. is suspended sitting today.

Sitting suspended at 1.00 p.m.

Sitting resumed at 4.00 p.m. (Mr Deputy Speaker in the Chair) THE FIRST MALAYSIA PLAN, 1966/1970 Debate resumed.
Enche' C. V. Devan Nair: Just before the adjournment, Sir, I said that one of the main aims of the first Plan was to create employment.

The final estimates of employment growth in 1960-65 is given on page 35 (the figures are given in thousands) and it shows that employment had increased from 2,174 to 2,518 as against the target of 2,500, and that unemploy ment had increased from 138 to 160.
Now, this would seem, Sir, a fairly good performance on the basis of the figures, but a closer scrutiny would indicate, Sir, that it is not so for the following reasons.

One is that the employment data itself is only a rough estimate, and may be wide off the mark.

The 1961-65 Plan gave employment in 1960 as 2,215, but this Plan, Sir, uses a lower figure for 1960 of 2,174, that is less by 41,000, and, as I have said, Sir, if this is a possible margin of error, then the figures can be quite unreliable.
the good reason The agricultural sector, Sir, is said to have provided employment to an additional 111,000.

Now, this again is deceptive for that employment by rubber estates has not increased in this period.

In fact, it has fallen slightly.

So, this increase of 111,000 must be largely attributed to smallholdings.

therefore, include a fair amount of unpaid family workers and many who are under-employed.
As such, how much of this additional 111,000 is real net addition to employment is difficult to assess.

It would, involved.

Thus on The other reason, Sir—employment in Other Trade and Services show an increase of 78,000 as against the target increase of 42,000.

Here again, the data may be somewhat less reliable because of the nature and types of occupations the whole it would be more reasonable to assume that the sectors which were expected to and should have produced the additional jobs did not do so.
If the job increases have largely been in the other sectors where employment may not be full employment and might be largely under-empioyment.

figures are accepted, the The figures of unemployment re maining at 6% between 1960-65 seem also rather optimistic, as the Minister of Finance himself in his Budget Speech the urban un that employment and unemployment among the youthful population has been rising significantly in this period.
indicated Employment targets for 1965-1970 are given on page 53, and they seem even more optimistic.

It is expected that employment will be available for all the labour force, a total of 460,000.

In Malaya alone the the labour force is expected to be 377,000 the additional increases increase to in 5793 15 DECEMBER 1965 5794 as against 344,000 in the 1961-1965 period.
One would have thought, Sir, that the increase in the labour force in the period 1966-1970 would be very the previous much higher period, because of significant increase in the population and birth rates.

The estimate, therefore, may be on the low side.

than the in is sector The increase in employment in the agricultural to be about 165,000 as against 111,000 in 1961- 1965, while manufacturing is to provide only 36,000 new jobs as against 38,000 for manufacturing and mining in the previous period.
Generally, it should that be should, as normally expected, absorb an increasing proportion of the labour force.

the manufacturing sector Construction and Utilities is to pro vide only 42,000 jobs, as against 60,000 in the previous period.

Trade and Services will provide only an increase of 79,000 as against 78,000 in the previous five-year period.

It surely does appear that our Malaysia Plan targets are somewhat unusual, and indeed, out of balance for a developing nation.
Generally, in a developing country, more and more new employment is found in secondary and tertiary sectors, and not in the primary sector; but in Malaysia, our Development Plan for the larger employment primary sector and not in the others.

If there is some special strategy in this employment programme, then it must be a closely guarded secret.

is increases targetted in to Now, Sir, I come investment targets.
The total development expen diture under the Plan is estimated to be (page 48 of the Plan) $10,500 million, of which the public sector's share is to be $4,550 million and the private sector's share $5,950 million.

The private sector is to be the main dynamic element in producing rapid economic growth.

The Government hopes to channel a rapidly growing volume of industry and related fields.
The overall aim, as stated in page 48 of the Plan, is to create a level of private investment which rises from about $1,010 million investment into in 1965 to some $1,400 million by 1970.

This is based on an increase of in private five per cent per annum housing and 10% increase in all other private investments.

It is accepted that these targets will be difficult of achievement.
However, it is hoped that by vigorously pursuing well conceived development policies, Malaysia will be able to create an attractive environ ment, though the detailed policies have not been outlined.

Briefly, Sir, the financing is to be as follows: Table 3-10, on page 57, shows that a total target of $6,160 investment private million from is envisaged, derived long-term private capital inflow, self- finance and other non-bank sources, to private sector and bank public financing of private investment.
lending sector This is a very optimistic hope in that it is based on an expectation of private investment from local sources to go up by almost 70% while foreign private financing is to be lower than in the past five years.

It is also realised in the Plan that the overall savings rate of the economy is likely to decline in the next five years; yet the expecta tion are that investments will be so much higher.
The financing of the public sector is even more starry-eyed and unrealistic when compared with the past per formance and the available resources.

the Table 4-3 on page 77 expects financing of the public sector to come to about 4,550 million in 1966-70, derived from the following sources: Government Revenue Surplus, Surplus of Public Authorities, Domestic non- bank Borrowing, Bank credit and Government accumulated assets, For eign borrowing (net) and Foreign grants.
It has been stated that the task of the public sector may be financing extremely difficult because of: trends of (1) the and income of revenue of the country the Government are expected to be less buoyant because of antici pated slow growth of exports associated with declining rubber prices and diminishing mineral resources; 5795 15 DECEMBER 1965 5796 (2) the large and rising expenditure on current account, which has gone up by 67% in the last five years, resulting in a budgetary surplus of over $300 million in 1960 turning into a consistent dificit in recent years; (3) increasing expenditure on defence and internal security.
Now, Sir, the financing of the public sector is formulated on the following dubious basis: (a) it assumes a cumulative ordinary budget surplus: it is not known what assumption despite past performance being to the contrary; justifies this (b) there is a limited reliance on credit from banks so as to avoid inflationary pressures; sector (c) there is a major reliance on the private therefore, mobilisation of internal resources through taxation and domestic borrowing is to be limited.
and, from domestic to depend greatly on On this premise, the major reliance will be on financing from abroad.

The main aim seems to be to limit the sources mobilisation and foreign finances.

It is a very unrealistic attempt at financing, especially in view of the past performance in this respect, and also in view of the repeated assertions that the economy has progressed very satisfactorily and is likely to continue its high rate of progress.
The whole idea of expecting that foreign sources owe it to Malaysia to help us develop and the rather weak attempts to cover up a basic lack of determination to mobilise is very typical of our present frame of policy and planning.

resources internal A study of the sectoral allocation of public development in 1966/70, as compared with 1961/65 (given in table 4-1, on page 69), leads to the following conclusions.
expenditure Agricultural development, Sir, has been allocated a very large share of $1,086.6 million in this Plan as com pared to the estimated expenditure in the last Plan of $475.6 million.

The performance in the last Plan was over all only 85.9% while for land develop ment it was only 68%.

Thus whether the targets or agricultural targets in this Plan can be achieved would appear rather doubtful on the basis of past performance.
The allocation for industry of $114.5 million is higher than the $69.2 million in the last five years but the spent breakdown shows that both for the Malaysian Industrial Development Finance Limited and Industrial Estates, the allocation is lower than what was spent in the past.

The allocation has been reduced from $24.1 million to $16 million for the former and $24.5 million to $14 million for the latter.

It may be that some of the M.I.D.F.L.


projects may obtain their own finance, yet the allocation on the Government side should have been higher, if the aim is to secure rapid industrialisation.

for whom The only large allocation here is for MARA, allocation has been increased from $10.5 million to $70 million, largely to assist the bumiputras in industrial development.
their part to play the is to some extent at The sectoral allocation largely geared towards agricultural and rural development, the expense of industry in the urban sector.

But without any proper projects avail able for study, it is difficult to assess what these monies will be really spent upon and who will really benefit directly from the expenditure and in directly from the subsequent develop ments that take place.
this they are together with in any sense Finally, Sir, I may note that the sectoral allocations are only of an aggregative nature and it is unlikely that final.

Further, the Plan would depend very largely on the availability of foreign finances and the changes in the economy in the next five years, will determine the final out come.
It may be safely said, however, that the Plan is far too optimistic and it is extremely doubtful that it can be fulfilled unless something extraordinary happens, Sir, to boost up our export earnings, or to make foreign grants and loans a certainty.

5797 15 DECEMBER 1965 5798 Five years from now, Sir, we should be able to say definitely whether this First Malaysia Plan represents any thing more than a fine printing achieve ment.
But if we are to achieve a more just and a more equal society, involv ing a fairer redistribution of the wealth of the country, and the greater mobili sation for development, as against dependance on foreign assistance, it must be obvious that our planners must be obliged to think again.

Thank you, Sir.
Thank you, Sir.

resources internal then of Mr (Deputy) Speaker: Ahli2 Yang Berhormat, saya hendak menyatakan, ia-itu pindaan daripada Yang Ber hormat Dr Lim Chong Eu, di-atas usul yang di-chadangkan oleh Yang Berhormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri, akan di-bahathkan bersama2 dengan usul asal itu.

Tuan Haji Ahmad bin Saaid (Se- berang Utara): Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya bangun untok membangkang usul pindaan yang di-kemukakan oleh Yang Berhormat wakil Tanjong.
Sa- bagaimana Ahii2 Yang Berhormat sakalian tahu, sikap pehak Pembang- kang bagitu-lah, manakala mereka ada satu urusan yang penting, yang mereka tidak dapat tunggu dalam Dewan ini untok membahath atau untok men- peluang membahath, maka dapat selalu-nya kemukakan mereka satu pindaan supaya mereka berpeluang dapat berchakap dahulu dan sa-lepas mereka itu berchakap mereka tinggal- kan-lah Dewan Yang Berhormat ini, balek ka-Pulau Pinang sebab saya tahu Yang Berhormat wakil Tanjong, saya bertemu dengan dia pagi tadi; dia ada urusan yang penting di-Pulau Pinang, maka beliSau terpaksa meninggalkan Dewan Yang Berhormat ini supaya balek membuat urusan sendiri.
Bagitu- lah sikap pehak2 Pembangkang yang selalu-nya mengambil peluang untok menchachi Kerajaan atau pun untok memburok2kan apa2 juga ranchangan2 yang telah di-buat oleh Kerajaan.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, sa-bagaimana usul yang di-kemukakan oleh Yang Berhormat itu, memang Kerajaan sedar mengikut apa yang di-sebutkan dalam Ranchangan Malaysia Yang kali telah sebab berpendapatan ia-itu mengenai masaalah Pertama ekonomi, memang di-tegaskan ia-itu perkara yang ketiga, pendapatan yang jauh bedza dan tidak sama di-antara pendudok2 bandar dan luar bandar, di- antara pendudok2 di-Malaya dan di- negeri2 Borneo dan juga antara beberapa gulongan kaum, memang Kerajaan sedar perbezaan atau jurang ekonomi yang jauh bedza-nya di-antara orang2 yang ada dan orang2 yang tidak ada.
itu-lah Kerajaan me- Maka ngemukakan satu ranchangan yang di- fikirkan ranchangan yang prektik, yang boleh menaikkan taraf hidup atau pun mata pencharian pendudok2 dalam negara kita ini.

Bagaimana di-istihar- kan beberapa kali ia-itu dasar Kerajaan Perikatan ia-lah untok meninggikan lapisan bawah ka-atas supaya orang2 kechil—orang2 yang yang ka-bawahan ini dapat menyamakan kedudokan dan taraf hidup sa-bagai mana orang2 yang di-atas.
Memang beberapa di-tegaskan bukan-lah dengan sa-chara yang di- buat oleh negara2 yang kita tahu yang mengamalkan dasar sosialis atau dasar kominis atau dasar dictator, mereka merampas hak2 orang atasan, mereka jadikan sa-bagai segala perusahaan milek negara.

Mereka buat undang2 tegas untok menyekat orang2 yang kaya, orang2 yang ada perusahaan daripada memajukan lebeh2 lagi per usahaan perniagaan, perdagangan dan lain2.
Sa-balek-nya Kerajaan kita yang mengamalkan dasar demokrasi ia-lah beberapa dengan chara memberi kemudahan2 kapada jelata tiap2 dengan mengharapkan warga negara kita akan mengambil peluang2 yang di-beri kapada mereka ini, dan bekerja lebeh giat lagi untok hidup masing2 meninggikan supaya pada satu masa, akan sama tidak sama pun kedudokan, boleh di-katakan sa-bagai hidup dalam mewah dan sempurna.
Dalam ran changan ranchangan juga pembangunan ekonomi Malaysia, ke ranchangan, dudokan masaalah dan juga Pertama Malaysia ia-itu perkara yang kedua di- sebutkan di-sini: tujuan Ranchangan supaya ra'ayat jikalau ia-itu taraf ini "Menambah tingkat pendapatan dan pem bangunan bagi tiap2 sa-orang; 5799 15 DECEMBER 1965 5800 Yang ketiga: memperbaiki keadaan pen- dudok2 luar bandar dan lain2 gulongan yang berpendapatan rendah, terutama-nya dengan meninggikan daya pengeluaran mereka dan sa-terus-nya menambah kebolehan mereka untok mendapatkan pencharian; Yang keempat: membanyakkan peluang2 bekerja dan dengan kadar chukup bagi mereka2 yang memasoki gulongan buroh dan mahukan pekerjaan dan juga supaya mengu- rangkan jumlah penganggoran; Yang keenam: mendidek dan melateh ra'ayat Malaysia dari semua lapisan untok melengkapi mereka bagi mengambil baha- gian yang chergas dalam peroses perkem- bangan ekonomi dan masharakat; dan juga Yang kelapan: membuka tanah2 baharu sa-luas dengan bilangan keluarga2 tani yang berkehendakkan tanah dan mengurangkan jumlah orang2 yang tidak memileki tanah untok bertani."
Dengan ini jelas-lah, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, bahawa Kerajaan kita sunggoh pun tidak di-sebut bagaimana pindaan usul ini untok persamaan hak yang adil, tetapi dalam penerangan yang di-beri itu memang-lah kita menuju- kan ka-arah persamaan hak yang adil.

Jadi, tidak payah-lah di-pinda dengan menambahkan perkataan persamaan hak yang adil.
Dan sa-bagaimana yang di-tegaskan oleh Yang Amat Ber hormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri dalam uchapan-nya dalam bahasa Inggeris : "The second objective is to provide steady increases in levels of income and consump tion for our people and those in other low income groups; the third objective is to generate employment opportunities at a rate to provide productive work for sufficient new entrants to the labour force and to lower the rate of unemployment;" tujuan2 Memang sudah pun ini di- dalam apa yang hendak di-pindakan.
Maka saya berpendapat tidak musta- hak di-terima pindaan daripada Yang Berhormat wakil Tanjong itu.

jelata ra'ayat Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya berasa ini sa-kira-nya Yang Berhormat berkehendakkan supaya di-tinggikan taraf hidup atau menambahkan mata pencharian dengan jangka yang pendek, saya pun kalau itu bersetuju boleh Kerajaan beliau membuatkan dengan mengadakan satu dasar baharu ia-itu dasar socialist.
Jadi kalau chara dasar socialist saya ingat boleh mendatangkan keuntongan juga kapada orang2 yang berpendapatan kechil, tetapi dasar Kerajaan sekarang ini tidak akan membuat bagitu.
Sa- kira-nya socialist, laksanakan dasar harus Yang Berhormat wakil Tanjong sa-bagai sa-orang pemimpin UDP, akan dapat bangkangan hebat dari pada penyokong2-nya kerana saya tahu dasar UDP ia-lah untok membela nasib orang atasan sahaja dan kadang2- nya manakala berchakap di-hadapan orang2 yang rendah pendapatan di- katakan beliau memang hendak membela nasib orang di- bawah.

Yang sa-benar-nya saya berani untok ini berkata beliau memperjuangkan atas nasib orang sahaja.
bahawa ia-lah diri mereka untok memberi Jadi mengenai apa Yang Berhormat itu mengatakan kita patut lupakan mengenai bangsa kita, keturunan kita dan warna kulit kita, kita mesti-lah berjuang atau menjalankan dasar per samaan hak sa-bagaimana beliau me ngatakan bahawa ada lagi satu amalan ia-itu feudal and racial insistence on priority.
Jadi saya ingin menarek per- hatian Yang Berhormat itu dalam Per- lembagaan kita, Article 153, dan juga dalam Perlembagaan2 Sarawak dan Sabah, mereka ada termasok di-dalam itu perlindongan kapada bumiputra yang asal supaya itu boleh bangun bersama2 mereka dengan warga negara2 yang lain untok menyamakan dalam masaalah kehidupan ekonomi dan mereka itu sendiri.
Jadi tidak patut-lah itu mengungkit2kan Yang Berhormat perkara itu kerana memang ada satu sharat yang hendak memberi peluang kapada bumiputra yang asal untok meninggikan taraf hidup mereka itu.

Jadi kalau-lah saya sekarang, kalau Yang Berhormat itu betul2 ikhlas dan jujor, beri-lah peluang kapada Kera jaan untok melaksanakan Article 153 dan jangan-lah beliau membangkit2kan saya perkara Article di-jalankan dengan sa-penoh-nya saya kata.
Jadi sa-kira-nya di-jalankan dengan sa- penoh, harus pula Yang Berhormat akan membangkit2kan ini memberi kemudahan kapada satu puak sahaja dan tidak kapada orang yang lain.

ini.
Jadi, pendapatan 153 perkara tidak itu Saya ingin menarek perhatian Yang Berhormat kalau Kerajaan mengikut 5801 15 DECEMBER 1965 5802 apa yang Yang Berhormat itu mengata- kan supaya memberi persamaan hak boleh-kah orang2 yang atasan sekarang ini memberikan harta mereka, kedudo- kan mereka, permit mereka, lesen mereka, perdagangan mereka kapada orang2 yang ka-bawahan ini supaya mereka pun dapat peluang mendapat- kan permit atau mendapat sa-bahagian daripada perniagaan2 mereka itu atau pun keuntongan2 mereka itu?
Boleh- kah Yang Berhormat ini bersetuju?

Saya fikir tentu-lah dia tidak bersetuju, tetapi dia ada dalam perlindongan2 dalam Perlembagaan kita tidak boleh Kerajaan merampas permit dan lesen daripada warga negara2 yang lain di- samping memajukan warga negara2 yang asal ia-itu bumiputra yang asal, jadi ini berlawanan dengan apa Yang Berhormat itu sebutkan.
Mengena'i ke'adilan, Yang Berhor mat mengatakan tidak 'adil atau sak- sama, saya ingat perkara ini jangan- lah di-bangkit2kan, kalau hendak di- bangkit2kan harus akan menjadi keke- liruan yang besar kapada pendudok2 yang ka-bawahan.
Saya ingat Kerajaan Perikatan chukup 'adil—lebeh daripada 'adil, lebeh daripada bertimbang rasa kapada sa- bagaimana Yang Berhormat menyebut Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Men- teri kita sa-orang yang jujor dan ikhlas, dan saya mengatakan terlampau lebeh daripada jujor, terlampau ikhlas, ter lampau bertolak ansor.

Maka sebab itu-lah puak2 Pembangkang ini me- ngambil peluang untok membuat satu modal yang besar ia-itu modal politik mereka itu.
sakalian warga negera Jadi masaalah ini beliau sebut ber- kenaan dengan dasar pelajaran.

Saya fikir, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, tidak ada dasar pelajaran yang sa-baik2-nya yang kita adakan sekarang ini.

Saya harap Yang Berhormat itu tinjau-lah ta' usah pergi jauh, pergi ka-negara Thailand, Yang Berhormat itu sendiri boleh tahu bagaimana chara pemerentahan negara Thailand terhadap warga negara-nya.
Lain daripada sekolah yang di-ajar bahasa Thai, tidak boleh kalau hendak belajar, belajar di-rumah, hendak buat sekolah China pun tidak boleh.

Yang tahu orang2 Berhormat pun sendiri China di-Thai datang ka-Pulau Pinang beribu2 untok belajar bahasa China, mereka tidak boleh belajar di-negeri Thai.

Kalau hendak menggunakan nama papan kenyataan bagi satu2 perniagaan, hendak menggunakan satu perkataan lain daripada perkataan Thai, di- kenakan chukai, baik bahasa Inggeris, bahasa China, baik bahasa apa pun.
Jadi berkenaan dengan masaalah ini, dalam Perlembagaan kita sebutkan memberi galakan yang sa-penoh kapada bangsa2 yang ada dalam negara ini untok mempelajari bahasa-nya dengan memberi bantuan yang penoh daripada tingkatan yang bawah.

Di-mana ada satu negara yang sa-macham ini punya tiap2 chara?

Dengan orang boleh berchakap dalam bahasa kebangsaan pada 10 tahun kemudian, kita akan betul2 menjadi warga negara yang bersatu padu yang bersefahaman, yang saling mengerti.
Jadi ka-arah ini-lah dasar pelajaran kita berjalan sekarang, kerana apa hendak di-bang- kit2kan perkara ini?

Patut-lah Yang Berhormat itu sa-bagai sa-orang yang luas dan berpenge- berpengalaman ini tahuan memberi keterangan yang jelas kapada pendudok2 dalam kawasan-nya dasar sekarang pelajaran yang di-jalankan perpaduan ini menujukan di- ra'ayat tidak bangkit2kan perkara2 yang menjadi rumit pada masa hadapan.
tinggi patut-lah perkara tujuan supaya payah-lah ka-arah dan tidak boleh-lah kita Yang Berhormat ada menyebutkan ini dengan mengena'i kita Malaysia Singapura ini berenggang2 jauh, patut-lah kita rapat- kan lagi perhubongan kita, perkaitan kita, persahabatan kita, khas-nya dari segi ekonomi dan dari segi social, sunggoh pun bahagian siasah berpisah tetapi patut-lah kita rapatkan perhu bongan dari segi ekonomi.

Saya ada bacha dalam surat khabar ia-itu Singapura bergantong kapada tanah besar kita ini.
Barang keluaran melalui pelabohan Singapura satu per tiga dan barang masok ka-tanah besar satu per empat.

melalui Singapura Jadi satu per tiga barang keluaran kita melalui Singapura dan satu per empat melalui Singapura masok ka- tanah besar.

Jadi sini berapa banyak pertukaran wang—foreign exchange yang tanah besar kita ini rugi dengan 5803 15 DECEMBER 1965 5804 chara mengeluarkan barang melalui pelabohan Singapura dan masokkan barang melalui pelabohan Singapura.
Jadi dengan ada-nya ranchangan sa- bagaimana yang di-sebutkan oleh Yang Berhormat Menteri Pengangkutan hen- dak menambahkan pelabohan dalam atau dermaga dalam di-Kelang dan dermaga dalam di-Butterworth di- Pulau Pinang.

Saya harap perkara memasokkan barang2 melalui Singapura dan menge luarkan barang2 melalui Singapura ini di-rentikan.

Oleh kerana kita ada modal yang besar yang kita belanjai, sa- bagaimana di-Butterworth $52,000,000 patut kita gunakan pelabohan yang ada di-negara kita ini.
Dan barang siapa juga pedagang2 yang hendakkan barang2 kita patut datang ka-tanah besar kita sendiri mengambil barang2 itu.

Dan ada perdagangan dengan luar negeri patut bawa barang2 itu kapada pelabohan kita sendiri.

Dan yang sa- baik-nya patut di-kajikan kemungkinan mengadakan satu pelabohan di-Pantai Timor, mithal-nya di-Pahang, atau pun di-Kelantan atau di-Trengganu, yang boleh mendekatkan perhubongan tanah besar dengan Sabah dan Sarawak dengan chara perkapalan.
Jadi dengan ini dapat mengukohkan lagi kedudokan ekonomi kita yang pada masa sekarang ini.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya menyam- bongkan lagi sa-bagaimana yang di- terangkan ia-itu Ranchangan Malaysia Yang Pertama ini akan memakan belanja sa-banyak $10,500,000,000 ini yang kita kehendaki lagi, wang ia-itu $1,900,000,000.

Jadi ini ada-lah satu masaalah yang kita mesti charikan wang ran itu untok melaksanakan changan2 yang ada di-dalam ranchangan ini.
Di-sini saya ingin memberikan pen- dapat saya, ia-itu mengenai wang2 beku yang ada di-simpan oleh Kerajaan2 Negeri, oleh perkhidmatan2 sa-bagai mana keretapi, Lembaga Letrik, Pela bohan, Majlis2 Tempatan.

Saya ingat kalau di-kumpulkan wang2 ini tidak kurang daripada $50,000,000.

Mereka ini simpan di-dalam bank dengan mendapat 5% sa-bagai deposit account.
Oleh itu dapat-lah Kerajaan mengka- jikan, kerana wang tidak chukup, boleh faedah Kerajaan ambil wang itu sa-bagai di- simpan bagi pehak yang berkenaan sama dengan memberikan dengan bank, dan dengan memberi jaminan sa-kira-nya wang ini hendak di-gunakan boleh di-beri tahu kapada pehak yang berkenaan dan mengeluar kan wang itu bagi penggunaan pehak2 yang berkenaan.
foreign Yang kedua, pehak Kerajaan me- mikirkan bagaimana hendak menye- pertukaran mata wang lamatkan dengan sa-daya upaya; mesti-lah kita selamatkan pertukaran mata wang ini, ia-itu exchange.

Bagaimana chara yang boleh di-jalankan patut di- supaya kaji jangan-lah wang2 kita ini keluar masok lain berlebehan2 daripada ka-negeri yang di-buat Patut-lah sekatan berkenaan dengan perdagangan dan perusahaan dan lain2 supaya mata wang kita ini di-gunakan lebeh dari pada yang patut di-keluarkan.
sa-halus2-nya berpatut.

dengan Dan ranchangan yang hendak di- keluarkan Kerajaan boleh menyelamat- kan ia-itu mengenai perkara binaan dan pembangunan2 sa-bagaimana bi naan rumah2 sekolah, binaan masjid, binaan dewan orang ramai, binaan lain2.

Dengan pejabat Kerajaan dan kapada mengeluarkan wang terus Kerajaan Negeri untok membuat bangunan2, saya fikir Kerajaan boleh jimatkan atau selamatkan sa-kurang2- ia-itu bayaran nya 71/2% pelan fees kerani buat pelan.
Jadi Kerajaan patut membuat pelan daripada Kera jaan sendiri.

Barang siapa hendak buat masjid, hendak membuat ba ngunan Kerajaan, hendak buat jamba- tan, hendak buat sekolah, hendak buat dewan orang ramai dan lain2 di-adakan pelan yang sama.

Mesti-lah orang2 yang hendak membenakan ini meng- gunakan pelan itu.

Dengan chara ini kita menyelamatkan 71/2% daripada pelan fees yang akan di-bayarkan dari pada wang Kerajaan ini sendiri.
Dan saya mengharapkan untok melichinkan lagi tawaran, patut Kerajaan Pusat mengadakan satu Panel of Tender Board; kita lantek 20 orang.

Jadi Kerajaan manakala ran itu, ranchangan pusat atau changan chara mengeluarkan 5805 15 DECEMBER 1965 5806 ini pergi ka-negeri wang daripada Kerajaan Pusat, di- berikan kapada Kerajaan Negeri boleh- lah di-arahkan ahli2 Lembaga Tawa- ran itu supaya membuka tawaran itu sendiri dengan arahan daripada Kerajaan Pusat.
Ini sa-baik2- dapat-lah di-awasi dengan nya perbelanjaan yang akan di-keluar- kan oleh Kerajaan Pusat.

Dan saya tertarek hati di-atas satu perkara yang saya hendak chakap ia-lah mengenai bangunan Kerajaan yang di-gunakan oleh kaki-tangan Kerajaan.

Kalau kita lihat dalam anggaran, kita dapati ini untok memakan terlampau banyak.

Ada bangunan2 yang sudah lama kena selenggara, kena main tenance, jadi memakan belanja yang banyak.
Oleh itu saya harapkan Kera jaan bena bangunan2 baharu dengan chara mengurangkan wang penyeleng- garaan bagi rumah2 ini.

selenggaraan bangunan2 belanja yang chara tentera saya dapat Saya harap Kerajaan akan membuat ranchangan perumahan khas bagi kaki- tangan Kerajaan dengan mengurangkan wang elaun rumah.

Jadi sa-orang kaki- tangan Kerajaan yang Tingkatan I di- beri elaun sewa rumah sa-banyak $250 dan bagi tahu tinggi2-nya hingga sampai $600.
Jadi ini dapat Kerajaan dengan mengadakan satu tempat khas di-Kuala Lumpur ini.

Buat bangunan bertingkat2 supaya kaki-tangan Kerajaan Tingkat I dan Tingkat II, dan Tingkat III di- kawasan yang lain di-berikan mereka ini dudok di-rumah bangunan Kerajaan sendiri dan juga di-tiap2 negeri di-mana pejabat Kerajaan Pusat ada.

Kerajaan sendiri membeli tanah dan membena rumah2 untok kaki-tangan Kerajaan dengan menyelamatkan wang daripada membayar elaun ini $10,000,000 kapa da orang2 yang membuat rumah.
Akhir- ini hak2 Kerajaan Pusat nya harta sendiri dan boleh di-buatkan dengan satu ranchangan sa-kira-nya orang itu akan bersara memberi peluang kapada mereka itu membayar beransor2 supaya dapat menjadi hak milek mereka itu sendiri.
Sa-lain daripada itu, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, menyambong bahathan saya, saya harap-lah supaya Kerajaan, dalam melaksanakan Ranchangan Malaysia ini, mengutamakan Yang Pertama ia-lah ranchangan2 yang boleh memberikan faedah kebendaan atau pun dengan kebendaan, memberi 'ilmu faedah pengetahuan, dan faedah kesehatan.

Tiga perkara ini patut di-beri keuta- maan.


Dan ranchangan2 yang lain, sa- bagaimana jalan raya mithal-nya, jam- tidak bagitu mustahak, batan, yang patut di-tanggohkan sa-hingga kita dapati pendudok2 di-kawasan itu sudah sikap mereka mahu menukarkan itu kapada maju.

Maka pada masa baharu boleh kita beri kemudahan yang sa-macham ini.
Yang mesti kita utamakan faedah kebendaan yang pendudok2 di-luar bandar akan dapat, sa-bagaimana Ranchangan Parit dan Taliayer, yang mana di-kawasan saya sendiri telah menekmati kemuda han dengan boleh membuat bendang dua kali sa-tahun dan juga peruntokan sa-banyak $204 juta untok membuat Parit dan Taliayer di-Kedah yang akan memberi kemudahan untok sa- luas 288,000 ekar untok di-buat ben dang dua kali sa-tahun.
Ini-lah ran changan2 yang patut Kerajaan utama kan kerana dengan chara yang sa- macham ini-lah yang akan memberi faedah sa-chara terus—faedah keben daan.

Mengenai faedah moral dan keji- waan—moral dan spiritual itu, kita bukan-lah kata potong langsong, kita kaji dengan halus di-mana tempat yang kita fikirkan mustahak sangat2 di-beri baharu-lah kita beri.

Pantai Saya tertarek hati juga mengenai jalan ranchangan hendak membuat raya menyambong Timor dengan Pantai Barat.
Ia-itu, ini satu ranchangan saya fikir, akan memberi faedah kebendaan kerana memudahkan pengeluaran hasil daripada Pantai Timor melalui ini pergi ka- jalan dermaga Dalam di-Butterworth, dan juga akan memberi peluang kapada ra'ayat jelata untok mengambil tanah2 yang di-tepi jalan ini supaya menjadi- kan tanah2 hutan itu sa-bagai tanah2 yang berguna dan berfaedah, dengan chara chuchok tanam dan lain2.
Saya uchapkan kapada Yang Berhormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri, dengan penoh minat menga- takan bahawa beliau akan berikhtiar tahniah 5807 15 DECEMBER 1965 5808 pada dengan sa-daya upaya supaya mengu- bahkan sikap pendudok2 orang di-luar bandar, khas-nya orang2 Melayu sen diri, yang ka-selurohan-nya, bukan saya katakan kesemua sa-kali, pada keselurohan-nya maseh lagi ada satu fahaman atau 'amalan hidup kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang.
Jadi, sa-lagi pendudok2 di-luar bandar, khas-nya orang Melayu, tidak mahu menukarkan sikap tidak mahu memperbaiki kedudokan diri mereka itu sendiri, tidak mahu memajukan diri mereka itu sendiri, maka sa-lama itu-lah mereka tidak dapat menyama- kan kedudokan dengan orang2 yang lebeh maju daripada orang2 Melayu sendiri, dan juga bumiputra di-tanah Borneo sana.

Jadi, chara2 yang orang2 ini hendak memajukan, ada masaalah2 yang mereka tidak dapat memajukan.
Mereka, sa-tengah2-nya kadang2 berasa bosan kerana manakala mereka ber- usaha menanam bahan2 makanan, mereka dapati tidak dapat pasaran yang baik.

Mereka berusaha men- ternak ayam, itek dan juga binatang2 tidak dapat pasaran.
ternakan Dan saya berharap, dengan terbentok- nya Lembaga Pasaran ini atau Lem- baga ini, Lembaga ini akan berusaha dengan sa-daya upaya di-samping me- ngawal dan menolong memasarkan bahan2 yang di-tanam oleh pendudok2 di-luar bandar itu, menjaga dan me- ngawal supaya harga barang2 itu tetap.
Untok menjagakan harga barang2 itu biar tetap, maka Kerajaan patut kaji sa-takat mana-kah barang2 makanan patut di-masokkan ka-dalam negara kita ini, dan sa-takat mana-kah di- makan atau di-gunakan oleh warga negara dalam negara kita ini.
Sa-lagi tidak dapat kita buat satu2 kajian dan satu2 peratoran, sa-lama itu-lah tidak dapat orang2 di-luar bandar ini, khas- nya orang2 Melayu, meninggikan taraf hidup mereka itu, dengan mengharap- kan supaya sama dengan kedudokan2 orang2 yang lebeh maju daripada mereka itu.

lain, ranchangan Saya mengharapkan, dengan perlak- sanaan ini, Kerajaan mesti-lah ada satu chara bagaimana di-sebutkan di-sini, ia-itu Ranchangan Menjarangkan Anak atau Family Planning.
Di-samping melaksanakan Ranchangan Menjarangkan Anak ini, lagi, yang tugas sa-bulan, anak-nya saya berharap supaya Kerajaan adakan satu Jabatan yang akan bekerja sama dengan Jabatan Family Planning ini, di-tambahkan satu ia-itu Family Economic Planning.

Men jarangkan anak itu memang-lah satu daripada chara membaiki ekonomi.
Tetapi, untok meranchangkan, untok membuat satu peratoran bagi sa-suatu keluarga itu—sa-kira-nya sa-orang ke- pendapatan-nya luarga ada lapan $300.00 orang—dua orang di-sekolah mene- ngah, tiga orang di-Sekolah Rendah, patut Kerajaan adakan satu penyelia bagi satu2 daerah, mithal-nya, atau pun bagi satu2 kawasan, mengkaji bagaimana patut keluarga ini meng- gunakan wang sa-banyak $300.00 ini untok memberi sara hidup kapada anak2-nya dan kapada family-nya, dan juga untok menyimpan sadikit pada masa hadapan.
Dengan chara yang ini, dapat-lah pendudok2 sa-macham kita yang tahu, sa-bagaimana kita orang2 di-luar bandar ini bukan-lah orang yang daripada gulongan ahli2 yang terpelajar belaka.

Ada sa-tengah- nya tahu membacha dan tidak tahu menulis.

Dengan Ran changan Kelas Dewasa ini, kita meng harapkan, barangkali dalam 10 tahun lagi baharu-lah hapus buta huruf ini.

Tetapi, dalam masa 10 tahun ini-lah kita akan menempoh beberapa ke- rumitan yang kita mesti atasi dengan sa-daya upaya kita.
tidak itu Saya mengharapkan-lah, bagaimana saya sebutkan tadi, tiap2 warga-negara kita mesti-lah bersikap persahabatan yang baik di-antara satu dengan lain, dengan menjalankan satu persahabatan ikhlas dan kesuchian hati.
dengan Jadi, kita dapati ada di-kalangan warganegara kita, sunggoh pun mereka ini mengaku diri-nya sa-bagai warga negara, tetapi tergamak—sampai hati itu menggunakan muslihat, mereka tipu daya untok men- menggunakan jadikan atau warga- negara-nya sa-bagai merugikan diri- nya dengan tipu muslihat yang saya katakan tadi, untok memberi timbang, kechoh, sukat tidak betul—barang itu, harga yang di-pasar lain dan di- katakan harga lain.
sahabat-nya Jika sa-kira-nya dapat (kita mengatasi ini ada-lah tipu muslihat masaalah 5809 15 DECEMBER 1965 5810 satu perkara yang membaiki ekonomi orang yang luar bandar supaya mereka ini terancham dengan lagi perbuatan2 yang sa-macham ini.

jangari Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya tertarek lagi satu perkara yang mana di-sebut- kan hendak memberi latehan kapada pemuda2 kita.
Saya menguchapkan terima kaseh kapada Kerajaan Ame- rika Sharikat yang menghantarkan beberapa banyak Peace Corps ka- negeri kita ini untok menolong kita menjadi sa-bagai guru dan jururawat dan lain2.
Saya berharap kalau Kera jaan Amerika boleh menghantarkan ahli2 Peace Corps-nya kapada negara kita ini patut Kerajaan kita berunding dengan Kerajaan Amerika Sharikat supaya menerima pemuda2 kita yang kelulusan Sijil Rendah Persekutuan chukup-lah bukan hendak jadi engineer supaya di-terima mereka ini bekerja di- dalam kilang2 perusahaan di-Amerika atau pun di-negara Jepun atau pun di-negara German, di-England dan lain2 untok menjadi ahli2 teknik yang sa-chara yang sa- rendah.
Dengan ini maka kita dapat mem- macham lagi pemuda2 kita, dapat banyakkan latehan daripada kilang2 perusahaan yang tidak ada dalam negara kita, sunggoh pun ada kilang2 tetapi tidak sanggup mereka itu menerima.

Maka kita hantarkan pemuda2 kita ini keluar negeri yang mana negara2 yang ber- sahabat dengan kita yang ingin hendak membantu kita.
Dengan sa-chara yang sa-macham ini saya ingat akan me- nambahkan pengetahuan dan ilmu yang mustahak mengenai engineering yang sa-rendah2-nya kita katakan-lah tek- nikal—daripada segi teknik, dan ilmu2 bagaimana hendak menjalankan jen- tera, bagaimana hendak menjalankan pesawat elektrik, bagaimana hendak membaiki radio, bagaimana hendak membaiki telivision, bagaimana hendak membaiki motokar, bagaimana hendak lain2.
Saya assemble motokar dan ingat dengan sa-chara yang sa-macham lagi ini dapat kita menambahkan kebolehan pemuda2 kita dari segi teknik sebab kita sekarang negara yang muda berkehendakkan orang2 yang terpelajar dalam perkara teknik kerana saya tahu negara yang maju, sa-bagaimana negara Jepun, mereka berjalan 50 tahun dahulu menghantar saya yang Jepun bumi-nya ini negara kan beberapa banyak pemuda di-luar negeri untok belajar.
Pada masa sekarang ia-lah sa-buah negara yang chukup maju— yang habis maju sa-kali dalam Asia ini sebab kemajuan-nya mereka me- nghantar pemuda2 keluar.

Sunggoh pun dalam negara Jepun kita dapati hasil tahu chuma arang batu sahaja segala bahan2 untok menjadikan barang kegunaan luar negeri— kena kayu, minyak, kapas, bijeh besi dan lain2.
Jadi dengan mereka mengguna- kan tenaga fikiran mereka itu, meng- gunakan itu, maka mereka dapat memulehkan eko- nomi-nya dalam sa-singkat2 masa ia- itu sa-lama 20 tahun daripada tahun 1945 sa-hingga hari ini mereka sudah maju dan berjaya memulehkan eko nomi sa-hingga mendapat tingkatan yang baik dalam Asia ini.
tenaga anggota mereka import daripada negara Saya mengharapkan supaya Kera jaan mengambil perhatian apa yang saya sebutkan mudahan2 dengan ada- nya kekayaan kita—getah, bijeh, bijeh besi, balak dan lain2 lagi, kita dapat memperchepatkan kekayaan kita dan memberi ne'mat dan kemu- dahan2 yang lebeh dan akan meninggi- kan taraf hidup kita dengan sa-berapa tinggi kalau tidak boleh sama dengan negeri Jepun dengan sa-banyak ra'ayat 11 juta ini boleh kita tinggikan taraf hidup kita lebeh daripada negara Jepun lagi oleh sebab kita ada khaza- nah bumi yang menjadi satu puncha yang baik dan juga mengenai negara kita ini dengan kita sakalian mesti-lah menguchapkan shukur kapada Tuhan yang negara kita ini sentiasa-nya tidak ada gerak gempa, tidak ada typhoon, tidak ada hurricane, tidak ada panas berlebehan, tidak ada sejok berlebehan.
Jadi ini satu negara yang chukup baik bagi orang2 kita berikhtiar meninggikan taraf hidup kita.

Akhir-nya, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, usul sa-balek membangkang saya itu saya memberi sokongan pindaan yang kapada Ranchangan Malaysia Yang Pertama ini dan saya berharap supaya dengan ada-nya Ran changan Malaysia Yang Pertama ini negara kita akan menchapai kemajuan penoh 5811 15 DECEMBER 1965 5812 yang lebeh pesat lagi daripada yang sudah2.

Sa-kian-lah.

Terima kaseh.


Wan Abdul Rahman bin Datu Tuanku Bujang (Sarawak): Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya bangun menyokong dengan sa-penoh2-nya usul yang asal di-kemukakan oleh Yang Amat Ber- hormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri tadi.

Sambil mendapat pada pagi peluang ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya hendak menyentoh sadikit ber- kenaan dengan perlaksanaan perkem- bangan2 di-Sarawak.
Ra'ayat Sarawak, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, yang menyo kong penubohan Malaysia kebanyakan- nya telah berasa kechewa dan tidak puas hati dengan Ranchangan Pem di-Sarawak.

Kebanyakan bangunan daripada mereka2 itu yang dudok di-luar bandar ada-lah terdiri dari bumiputra Sarawak.

Mereka2 ini ada- lah gulongan yang miskin dan kita juga mundor dalam tahu mereka pelajaran dan dalam lapangan per- ekonomian.
di-Pertua, Tuan Yang apabila penubohan Malaysia di-chadangkan dalam bulan Mei tahun 1961 oleh) Yang Teramat Mulia Tunku Perdana Men teri, gulongan yang pertama sa-kali di-Sarawak yang menyokong Malaysia ia-lah terdiri daripada bumiputra Sara wak.

Pada mula-nya memang ke banyakan daripada pendudok2 Sara wak itu berasa ragu2 dengan chadangan itu.
Tetapi Tunku Perdana Menteri sa-telah wakil2 mereka datang ka- Malaya dan melihat pembangunan yang ini telah di-buat di-Malaya wakil2 itu telah kembali ka-Sarawak sa- dan menjual concept Malaysia hingga 90% bumiputra Sarawak telah menyokong penubohan Malaysia.

Sebab2 yang besar mereka berbuat demikian tidak lain dan tidak bukan ia-lah kerana bumiputra Sarawak telah di-beri tahu dan perchaya bahawa Ranchangan Luar Bandar saperti yang telah akan serta-merta di-laksanakan di-Sarawak.
Pehak yang menentang Malaysia, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kebanyakan-nya ter diri daripada pendudok2 bandar dan bukan bumiputra.

Pilehan Raya di- Sarawak pada pertengahan tahun 1963 telah membuktikan yang point perchakapan saya ini ia-itu 90% di-jalankan di-Malaya telah lalu daripada Ahli2 Perikatan dan Parti Negara Sarawak yang menang dalam terdiri daripada itu Pilehan Raya bumiputra dan kurang lebeh 90% juga daripada chalun S.U.P.P.

ia-itu Parti Pembangkang di-Sarawak.


Yang me nang dalam Pilehan Raya tersebut ada-iah terdiri daripada mereka yang bukan yang bumiputra.

Masaalah besar dalam Pilehan Raya itu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ia-lah sama ada Sara wak turut serta masok dalam Malaysia telah atau pun tidak.

Kini Malaysia berusia lebeh dua tahun.


Dari semen- berjuta2 jak Malaysia di-tubohkan ringgit telah di-belanjakan dalam per- untokan perbelanjaan di-negeri Sara wak tetapi malang-nya yang mendapat faedah per- untokan pembangunan tersebut bukan- lah bumiputra yang telah menyokong- tetapi puak2 bukan kan Malaysia bumiputra dan yang telah menentang Malaysia.
yang besar daripada Dalam Dewan itu pada masa itu sangat2 ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kita telah mendengar pen- jelasan daripada Menteri Pembangunan Luar Bandar dan juga Menteri Hal Ehwal Dalam Negeri tentang per belanjaan2 bagi menempatkan sa-mula pendudok2 di-batu 17 Kuching-Serian telah berlaku Road.

Di-tempat kekachauan yang dahshat; hatta, Balai Polis di-sana di-kawasan itu hampir jatoh ka-tangan penjahat2 itu waktu mereka melakukan serangan ka-Balai Polis itu.
Sa-sudah selesai kejadian yang dahshat itu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, maka ra'ayat yang benar2 kapada Malaysia dan yang sayang kapada Malaysia timbul tertanya2 sama sen- diri ia-itu apa-kah langkah dan sikap yang akan di-ambil oleh Kerajaan terhadap mereka2 yang khianat itu, dan apa-kah hukuman dan denda yang berat akan menimpa mereka.
Rupa2- nya, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, sangkaan2 mereka itu ada-lah tidak tepat sama sa-kali, sa-balek-nya anasir2 jahat di- situ sa-lain daripada tidak menerima apa2 hukuman, mereka telah di-layan faedah Ranchangan dan menerima Pembangunan terlebeh dahulu dari pada mereka pendudok2 luar bandar penubohan yang Malaysia.
telah menyokong ta'at 5813 15 DECEMBER 1965 5814 penjahat2, Bagitu juga di-Limbang, Tuan Yang ia-itu Bahagian Ka-Lima di-Pertua, di-Sarawak di-mana dahulu-nya telah berlaku pemberontakan dalam tahun 1962.

Mereka2 ini telah terlibat dengan pemberontakan A.M. Azahari di- Brunai.

Sekarang pembangunan telah pun di-jalankan di-sana kerana mereka telah memberontak dahulu dan juga kawasan itu ada-lah kawasan Tim- balan Ketua Menteri Sarawak.
Lojik perlaksanaan Ranchangan daripada Pembangunan di-Sarawak itu nampak- ia-lah nya, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, anasir2 mengutamakan pemberontakan dan anasir2 kominis, daripada mengutamakan yang setia kapada Malaysia.

Keselurohan-nya mereka yang menentang Malaysia telah mene'mati kemerdekaan terlebeh dahulu daripada mereka yang menyo- kong Malaysia.
Ra'ayat bumiputra Sarawak dalam perundingan untok menubohkan Malaysia telah berharap supaya mereka akan menerima per- hatian yang lagi dalam lebeh giat ranchangan pelajaran, tetapi apa yang ini dalam telah berlaku ia-lah dari sa- Malaysia di-Sarawak masa ka-samasa banyak mereka yang bukan bumiputra yang dudok dalam bandar yang mempunyai ibu bapa yang mampu telah mendapat scholarship2 belajar negeri sedangkan bilangan bumiputra yang di-hantar keluar negeri sangat2 kechil.
Di-Malaya ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ada memberi peruntokan Kerajaan khas bagi biasiswa2 untok bumiputra, keutamaan dalam lapangan biasiswa2 telah pun di-beri kapada bumiputra Tanah Melayu ini.

Apa-kah sebab-nya tidak di-beri kapada bumiputra ini Sarawak, sedangkan bumiputra Sara wak lagi kalau di- bandingkan dengan bumiputra2 yang ada di-Tanah Melayu ini?
lebeh mundor sa-makin sekarang keluar Bukan-kah ia-itu apa di-persetujukan telah dalam Meshuarat Setiakawan untok menubohkan Malaysia di-Singapura dahulu juga keutamaan yang di-dapati oleh bumiputra di- Malaya juga kapada bumiputra Sarawak.

Kerajaan Pusat telah pun berjanji, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, akan memberi kehidupan yang baharu— yang lebeh elok kapada ra'ayat bumi ini mesti-lah di-beri bahawa Malaysia tanggong-jawab-nya putra Sarawak.
Dengan hal yang demikian Kerajaan Pusat tidak boleh menafikan ter- hadap bumiputra Sarawak, terutama sa-kali tentang perlaksanaan Ranchan gan Pembangunan Luar Bandar di- Sarawak hendak-lah di-jalankan supaya mereka yang menyokong Malaysia tadi yang dudok di-luar bandar dan yang sunggoh2 menghendaki bantuan di- utamakan daripada mengutamakan penjahat2 dan mereka2 yang menen tang Malaysia dan dudok di-dalam bandar atau pun berdekatan dengan bandar serta mempunyai kehidupan yang mewah.

telah itu.
telah itu.

MARA projek2 MARA Dalam Dewan ini, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, kita juga mendengar penjelasan yang lebar daripada Yang Amat Berhormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri tentang tugas MARA.

Saya harap Kerajaan Pusat akan berhati2 melaksanakan di- Sarawak supaya tidak-lah saperti yang di-jalankan oleh Sarawak Develop Co Co-operation—Finance ment operation.

Co-operation ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, meminjamkan wang kapada ra'ayat Sarawak, telah memberi peluang yang besar kapada mereka yang bukan bumiputra.
Pehak bumi putra mendapat bantuan sadikit dari pada Co-operation juga hendak-lah mengkaji masaalah per- khidmatan pengangkutan di-Sarawak.

Telah berlaku dalam Bahagian yang Ketiga ia-itu apabila bumiputra terdiri daripada dua orang Iban hendak ke- nubohkan satu company, ma'af, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, terdiri daripada orang2 Iban yang hendak menubohkan satu company pengangkutan untok mengada- kan perkhidmatan bas di-antara Daerah Binatang dan Daerah Jualan.
Pehak yang berkuasa di-sana, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, telah mendesakkan ia-itu bumi putra mesti-lah dengan mereka yang bukan bumiputra.

Bagini- kah Malaysia yang di-janjikan dahulu?

Ia-itu apa sahaja yang di-beri oleh bumiputra mesti berkongsi dengan mereka yang bukan bumiputra, tetapi apa yang di-beri kapada mereka yang bukan bumiputra itu tidak payah dan tidak perlu di-bagi kapada bumiputra.
Bagitu juga dalam masaalah lesen2 taxi, di-bandar Tuan Yang di-Pertua, berkongsi 5815 15 DECEMBER 1965 5816 Kuching banyak driver2 bumiputra yang menghendaki lesen2 menjalankan taxi2 di-beri kapada mereka sendiri.

yang Tetapi pehak yang berkuasa sentiasa memberi daleh bahawa tidak ada lesen2 di-keluarkan.

boleh baharu Di-Sibu, satu bandar yang di-kuasai oleh vS.U.P.P.
juga, dua orang bumi putra yang mempunyai kereta, yang meminta telah di-tolak permintaan mereka dan complaint2 telah di-hantar kapada pehak yang berkuasa di-Sibu yang mengatakan kedua2 mereka itu tidak mempunyai kelayakan untok menjalankan taxi.

Di-Malaya ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, selalu kita mendengar Yang Berhormat Menteri Pengangkutan menerangkan quota yang di-beri kapada bumiputra Malaya.
Apa-kah sebab-nya Yang Berhormat Menteri tidak mengadakan quota saperti itu juga di- Sarawak untok bumiputra di-sana.

Jika Kerajaan Pusat enggan mengambil per- hatian di- Sarawak yang telah menyokong Malay sia, maka bererti-lah Kerajaan Perikatan di-Malaya tidak menunaikan janji-nya kapada ra'ayat bumiputra2 Sarawak seluroh-nya.
atas nasib2 bumiputra telah itu chuma Tuan Yang di-Pertua, dalam lapang- an perusahaan kehutanan pula, apabila bumiputra menghantar permohonan, Kerajaan Negeri selalu berkata, "Me reka tidak mempunyai modal yang chukup dan tidak mempunyai penga- laman."

Mereka di-benar mengerjakan kayu-kayan dengan ber- kongsi dengan orang2 China.
Ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, telah di-nyatakan oleh dan Kehutanan Menteri Pertanian Sarawak kapada pehak bumiputra ketika menimbangkan permohonan bagi satu kawasan ia-itu Timber Con cession dalam daerah Niah Bahagian Keempat di-Sarawak, ia-itu daripada sa-kumpulan bumiputra yang terdiri dari orang2 Dayak dan Melayu yang menghantar surat permohonan kapada Kerajaan Sarawak untok mendapatkan tadi.
kawasan kayu yang tersebut Keputusan-nya permintaan mereka tidak di-luluskan dengan alasan yang bermacham2 saperti yang telah saya sebutkan tadi, tetapi tidak beberapa itu, Tuan Yang di- lama sa-sudah ia-itu dalam masa beberapa Pertua, jutawan minggu sahaja, kawasan itu telah di- ia-itu beri kapada sa-orang millionaire yang datang-nya bukan daripada Bahagian itu, Bahagian yang lain.

Beliau ini datang-nya daripada Bahagian Ketiga.

Millionaire ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, memang dari dahulu- telah mempunyai.
beratus2 ribu nya ekar kawasan hutan.

Wakil2 yang telah saya sebutkan tadi, Tuan Yang di- telah pun datang ka-Kuala Pertua, hendak harapan Lumpur mengadukan hal2 yang demikian dan mendapat bantuan dari pehak Ibu Kota Malaysia ini tetapi kedatangan mereka ada-lah tidak menghasilkan.

Ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, satu tauladan daripada beberapa tauladan yang lain.
dengan ia-lah Demikian juga-lah yang juga di-dalam Bahagian Yang Kelima yang mempunyai kawa san hutan di-sana sa-orang millionaire juga dan beliau ini.

ber- pangkat tinggi dalam Kerajaan Sara wak pada masa ini.

Jadi daripada ketika pemerentahan Brooke dahulu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, sampai kapada masa penjajahan British dan sampai kapada Kerajaan Malaysia yang mer- ini, bumiputra deka dan berdaulat Sarawak tinggal di- belakang dan yang puteh mata.
Mereka yang kaya menjadi bertambah kaya, mereka yang miskin tinggal miskin.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, baharu2 ini tadi Dewan ini telah meluluskan suatu Undang2 yang bergelar Undang2 Pemu- lehan dan Penyatuan Tanah.

Menurut keterangan Menteri Hal Ehwal Tanah dan Galian, Badan yang di-tubohkan di-bawah undang2 ini akan berusaha membantu pendudok2 luar bandar da lam Malaya untok memajukan tanah2 mereka yang telah tidak di-majukan.
Di-bawah Ranchangan Pembangunan Malaysia Yang Pertama, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, Lembaga itu akan mendapat peruntokan sa-banyak $20 juta dan pada tahun hadapan sa-banyak $4 juta akan di-belanjakan oleh Lembaga itu.

Tetapi apa-kah sebab-nya Lembaga itu chuma di-hadkan kapada Malaya hal sahaja?

di- bumiputra Pada sangat2 menghendaki Sarawak pun Lembaga yang itu.
Tidak berapa lama dahulu, Tuan Yang di- telah mendengar cha- Pertua, kita Sarawak dangan Kerajaan Negeri saperti 5817 15 DECEMBER 1965 5818 hendak mengubahkan Undang2 Tanah Negeri itu supaya membolehkan Native Reserve ia-itu Reserve Bumiputra boleh di-jual kapada mereka yang bukan bumiputra.
Alasan2-nya yang di-berikan oleh Kerajaan Negeri Sara wak terhadap undang2 itu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ia-lah bumiputra mempunyai banyak tanah yang tidak mereka kerja- kan untok memberi hasil kapada mereka, kerana bumiputra itu konon- nya tidak mempunyai modal.

Untok menchari modal mereka boleh men- jualkan tanah dan boleh mendapat harga yang tinggi jika di-jual kapada mereka yang bukan bumiputra.

Nasib baik, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, Rang Undang2 itu telah mati sa-belum lahir ka-dunia.
Kita harus berjaga2 Kerajaan Sarawak mungkin pada masa yang akan datang akan mengemukakan Rang Undang2 itu lagi.

Untok menyelamatkan bumiputra Sarawak dari kehilangan tanah mereka mesti-lah di-bantu oleh Kerajaan mem- tanah2 mereka.

Jalan yang perbaiki elok-nya sa-kali ia-lah undang2 yang tersebut tadi patut di-jalankan kuat- kuasa-nya di-Sarawak supaya dapat-lah bumiputra di-sana menek- mati faedah2 yang sama saperti yang di-nekmati oleh bumiputra di-Tanah Melayu ini.
juga bukan di-Sarawak Akhir-nya, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, suka mengingatkan Kerajaan saya ia-itu Sarawak ada-lah berde- Pusat katan sa-kali dengan Indonesia.

Mer- bahaya sahaja timbul-nya daripada penjahat2 kominis tetapi juga akan timbul daripada pera- saan bumiputra yang tidak puas hati sa-takat ini dengan Ranchangan Pem- bangunan Luar Bandar.

Perasaan tidak puas hati dan kechewa ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, boleh menimbulkan pera saan menchari tempat bergantong yang lain.
Sa-belum penyakit timbul, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, elok-lah kita charikan ubat-nya dahulu.

Jika bumi putra Sarawak terus berasa tidak puas hati dan kechewa, merbahaya yang akan timbul ada-lah lebeh besar dari pada anchaman penjahat2 kominis di- Sarawak.

Tawarikh Sarawak, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ada-lah menjadi pe- ngajaran kita sakalian terutama sa-kali ketika penyerahan Sarawak kapada itu Kerajaan British di-tentangkan oleh beberapa gulongan di-negeri Sarawak.
Kerajaan Pusat tidak-lah boleh menge- lakkan ini dengan chuma berkata, "Ranchangan Pemba- ngunan di-Sarawak itu di-laksanakan oleh Kerajaan Negeri."

tanggong-jawab that connection Enche' Tan Cheng Bee (Bagan): Mr Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the motion moved by Yang Amat Berhor- mat the Deputy Prime Minister, and in the Development Estimates, 1966.
I feel, Sir, that I am voicing the opinion of my constituents of Bagan when I say that it is really a bold and most ambitious step taken by the Government, considering the confrontation and the unrest all around us today.
Sir, this 1966 phase of the First Malaysia Plan will go a long way to prove to the ra'ayat, both within the country and without, the deter mined efforts of the Alliance Govern ment to better the standard of living and the social progress of our people, not only in words but in deeds, and it is in keeping with government by the people for the people.
length, constructed Sir, as almost all rural development programmes are prepared and recom mended by the State Governments, I like to add here a word of would caution.

All State and Executive Councillors are mere human beings and, as such, are likely to make recom mendations for development on what we may call "pileh kaseh" rather than for the justification of such projects.

Sir, as an example, I refer to some roads of less than a quarter of a mile in Province in Wellesley according to P.W.D.
stan dards, the bullock cart tracks, to serve one or two individuals in that area.

Apart from one or two cars seen in the area, one can find no other the road, with a width of 60 feet—in fact, broader than the main road to which this road is connected—is used for drying padi and other household commodities right up to the centre of the road.

Sir, such projects cannot definitely benefit any body except one or two individuals, and they are therefore far from bene fiting the ra'ayat.
traffic and to replace 5819 15 DECEMBER 1965 5820 the involving Sir, speaking as a Member of the District Council of Bukit Mertajam, I know, that the State Government of Penang has planned to put up a by pass road in Kampong Bahru, Bukit Mertajam.
This proposed road happens low-cost to be sited opposite housing area of the District Council itself and would involve the Govern ment not less than a few hundred thousand dollars only for acquisition of land and for compensation of five or six shop houses in the area.
Yet, Sir, just within 120 yards from this pro posed by-pass road, there is an existing road which was recently completed and declared open by our Deputy Prime Minister not very long ago and this road stretches from the Kulim road right up to the railway crossing at a point, where a fly-pass could be constructed without the Government in any compensation or acquisition of land.
But because of pileh kaseh or, to be more exact, for in beneficial authority the State Government has chosen to put up this new proposal of a by-pass road right in the congested area of the town to run parallel and within 120 yards of the existing road, Sir, because this proposed by-pass road is in the area of the town where it will retard future development of the area, this proposed project was rejected by the Council once at its ordinary meeting, and again the the emergency meeting of in Council requested by the State Govern ment the State Planning Officer and the Senior Executive Engi neer, who had instance this project was a that commented luxurious project, to attend the meeting and lend their support to this project, on orders by the State Government.
Even with all this, Sir, the District Council again voted against this pro ject, as it was fully conscious of the criticisms of the people in the town.

reasons in in the first the State, to enable someone to As the District Council, Bukit Mer tajam, is a fully elected Council with an in my elected Chairman, opinion, be wrong the State Government to persist in going against the Local Council the decisions of the involving especially on it would, for issues development of the Council area.
Sir, it may be argued that a by-pass road is the concern of the State Government, but, it does not require much technical knowledge for any one to say that by-pass roads are usually best sited on the fringe of the town, for that matter away from the congested area and away from potential area for develop ment in the town.

The fact that this proposed by-pass road is sited within 120 yards away from an existing road, this proposed road is totally redundant and unnecessary.
I would, therefore, say, Sir, that the State Government is wasting public funds in persisting to proceed with the construction of this proposed by-pass road and gain the disfavour and disgust of the people of Bukit Mertajam, because it savours of something personal, a self-interested project to someone in authority.
Sir, as funds from Rural Develop ment are expended from the Central Government, I would earnestly urge the Minister concerned to make further the investigations before dishing out money to the State for such projects.

Sir, it may be said that all projects are recommended by the District Rural Development Committee for approval by the Stata Government.
But, Sir, this is not entirely so in Penang, as the members of the State Development Committee comprise solely of members of the State Executive Council and the Heads of Departments who are there only in an advisory capacity.
Other than these setbacks and these short comings, Sir, rural development pro grammes as a whole are of much benefit to the rural people and they have not only been happily and enthusiastically received by the people but they have also won high praise from visitors who have come from abroad.

Thank you.

Enche' Tama Weng Tinggan Wan (Sarawak): Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya bangun memberi penerangan perkara dalam daerah Baram yang lebeh burok lagi di-dalam Sarawak sa-lama dua tahun ini.
Saya dengan dukachita memberi satu chadangan berkenaan usul yang di-bawa oleh Timbalan 5821 15 DECEMBER 1965 5822 Perdana Menteri yang akan membawa bersatu-padu dan kerjasama di-seluroh ra'ayat Malaysia ini Enche' Ahmad bin Arshad (Muar Utara): Tolong kuat sadikit!

Mr Speaker: Tolong kuat sadikit.


Enche' Tama Weng Tinggan Wan: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, perasaan saya tidak ada kesusahan hendak mendapat kerjasama saperti ra'ayat di-Sarawak atau pun ra'ayat di-Sabah dengan sebab ada kena-mengena dengan me- nambah pendapatan ra'ayat daripada yang telah sudah dalam taraf hidup ra'ayat bumiputera di-tanah ayer me- reka sendiri.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, pendapat saya, apa2 barang yang akan menyambong tentu-lah dengan ada perkakas dan yang menchukopi untokan-nya men- jadi nama-nya tukang sambongan apa2 yang elok di-untokkan orang2 di-dunia ini.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya me- nerangkan kapada Dewan ini ada-kah tukang2 boleh membuat rumah yang jikalau dia chuma membawa elok sa-bilah gergaji sahaja?

Saya perchaya, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, tukang saperti itu tidak boleh membuat rumah yang elok?
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya perchaya jikalau Kera jaan mengadakan jawatan-kuasa-nya di-Malaysia ini sa-bilah kapak, Enche' Abu Bakar bin Hamzah (Bachok): Tuan Yang di-Pertua, koram tidak chukup.

Mr Speaker: Nanti sa-kejap.

Ada satu tegoran, tidak ada koram ia-itu kurang daripada 26.

Setia-usaha, ada 26 orang atau tidak?

{Setia-usaha: membilang, dan mem- beritahu Mr Speaker ada 26 orang).

Mr Speaker: Ada koram.


Enche' Tama Weng Tinggan Wan: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, jika Kerajaan memegang kuasa-nya di-Malaysia ini akan bumiputera bekerjasama di-seluroh negara Malay sia jikalau Kerajaan membawa 2 butir Rang Undang2 sahaja saperti yang ter- sebut di-bawah ini.
di-bawa ra'ayat sendiri minta Ra'ayat tidak setuju dengan Rang Undang2 memakai tender di-tanah ayer dan apa2 barang yang ada harga di- tempatan tanah ayer mereka itu, maka lesen2 untok ra'ayat ra'ayat sendiri, maka Kerajaan mem- bawakan ra'ayat bumiputera masok lawan tender bersama orang2 kaya dan orang2 yang ada pangkat dan kuasa dari Kerajaan.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ada-kah patut atau tidak sa-orang dari tempat yang lain pergi lawan orang2 punya kawasan diri sendiri dan lagi patut atau tidak sa-orang yang telah memegang ada dengan mendapat gaji tiap2 bulan dari Kerajaan dan ada menerima ber- macham2 pangkat dari Kerajaan.

Dan patut-kah atau tidak orang2 yang telah memegang jawatan dan orang2 ia-itu juga mendapatkan lesen2 dagangan dan dia tender melawan ra'ayat diri-nya sendiri.
Dan nampak- nya Kerajaan memberi kaki-tangan Kerajaan untokan sa-tengah merupakan harta2-nya bumiputera yang diri-nya sendiri dalam di-lawan sendiri tidak senang sa-kali di-tempatan tanah ayer saya sendiri.

jawatan Kerajaan juga memasoki ra'ayat apa-kah kuasa-nya hari2 menudoh Dan lagi satu perkara yang hairan yang membawa Kerajaan Perikatan dan penyokong2 di-dalam kampong dalam rumah panjang.
Tuan Yang di- Pertua, ia-lah tudohan2 terhadap ra'ayat, fitnah2 ber- macham2 akan membuat nama baik menjadikan burok, malang-nya ra'ayat ada mata, ada juga hidong, ada telinga dan fikiran dan semua tahu Kerajaan Perikatan yang di-tipu oleh penyokong2 Perikatan, maka dia juga penipu ia- serta lah menakut2kan ra'ayat dari pangkat-nya memegangkan kuasa-nya dari Kera jaan.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya mem beri satu penerangan dan kesusahan ra'ayat di-tanah ayer sa-lama dua tahun yang lalu dan sampai masa sekarang di-perentahkan oleh Perikatan yang membantu terhadap kesusahan yang tersebut ia-lah musoh2 yang menutup- kan kemajuan dan taraf hidup ra'ayat.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ia-lah musoh2 yang datang dari dalam kelambu dan datang dari dalam baju, maka musoh ini juga yang mengikatkan tali di-tandok kambing.
Pada 16 dan 17 Septem ber 1965 yang lalu, Ahli2 dari Dewan 5823 15 DECEMBER 1965 5824 ini saya memberi Ra'ayat ini ada datang di-tempat kami daerah Baram ia-lah musoh ini juga tali di-tandok kambing, mengikatkan maka ada ahli2 councillor yang sa- orang di-pimpin oleh ra'ayat bumi- putera mahu berjumpa ahli2, tidak-lah berjaya.
Maka satu chakapan sama orang2 masa itu juga saya memberi tahu Perdana Menteri dan Timbalan Perdana Menteri mem- bawa ra'ayat selurohan Malaysia kerja- sama, maka Ahli2 dari Dewan Ra'ayat tadi sampai yang dari Malaya di-Sarawak, maka ra'ayat bumiputera di-negeri Baram mahu berjumpa dengan ahli2 Dewan Ra'ayat, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kaki-tangan Perikatan ia-lah kena pengaroh oleh musoh2 yang tadi, maka tersebut di-atas ra'ayat bumiputra tidak-lah dapat ber tadi jumpa ahli2 itu.
Maka nampak-lah saya yang memberi tahu chakapan dari ra'ayat ini akan membawa Dewan seluroh Malaysia kerjasama tadi, maka ahli2 Dewan Ra'ayat dari dengan Malaya dan ra'ayat bumiputera di- Merudi terus menerus tidak-lah ber jumpa dengan ahli2 yang datang dari Malaya, maka nampak-lah penerangan2 yang dari saya tadi tidak-lah betul.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya perchaya Kerajaan Perikatan yang membawa ra'ayat menjagakan musoh2 datang dari luar atau dari dalam, malang-nya kaki- tangan yang membawa musoh2 datang dari luar untok me- nyerang harta ra'ayat bumiputera di- Malaysia, memakaikan Sarawak, undang2 tender.
Perikatan di-Pertua, Tuan Yang apa-kah sebab India dengan Pakistan yang telah sudah bersaudara dan abang adek berapa lama dan berapa ratus2 tahun yang dari dahulu maka apa-kah sebab- nya bermusoh ia-lah di-dalam negeri menjadikan kawan ia-lah dari sebab2- nya dan di-dalam negeri menjadikan lawan ia-lah dari sebab-nya.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya beritahu keturunan kami zaman asal dari datok nenek ada berchakap "biar-lah mati anak jangan- lah mati 'adat".
Jikalau mati anak, kita sendiri yang menanggong kesusahan, jikalau mati 'adat dan semua-nya negeri yang kena menanggong kesusahan dan lagi berita dari orang tua kita, "hidup di-kandong bumi".

'adat mati di-kandong kerjasama Tuan Yang di-Pertua, jikalau perentah Perikatan menjalankan kuasa memakai kan undang2 untok memberi perasaan dan keterangan kesalahan di-memberi puaskan hati orang2 yang kesalahan atau pun kebetulan, maka baharu-lah kita mendapatkan di- Malaysia ini.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, jikalau Kerajaan Perikatan di-tempatan Negeri Sarawak di-tempatan tanah ayer kami sendiri daerah Baram, di-Malaysia ini, jikalau Kerajaan Pusat tidak jaga dengan sa-benar2-nya di-tempatan yang tersebut, maka tentu-lah ra'ayat bumi putra yang telah di-serang oleh musoh datang dari dalam kelambu dan datang dari dalam baju ia-itu yang di-ketahui perkara yang burok sahaja di-terima oleh ra'ayat bumiputra.

ini?
ini?

Maka Tuan Yang di-Pertua, di-kenal oleh di-dunia semua Malaysia yang memberi jaminan kemerdekaan ra'ayat bumiputra maka apa-kah untokan jaminan di- ra'ayat bumiputra di- terima oleh Malaysia saya dengan harapan Kerajaan Pusat membawakan sabun2 dan minyak2 wangi untok meng- gosokkan busok2 dan bau2 dan berseh- kan-nya maka baharu-lah dapat kerja sama di-Malaysia dan aman damai dan ma'amor antara ra'ayat segala bangsa di-seluroh Malaysia.

Demikian-lah penerangan saya.


Mr Speaker: Meshuarat ini di- tempohkan.

Sitting suspended at 5.50 p.m.

Sitting resumed at 6.10 p.m.

Debate resumed.

yang penoh Enche' Hanafi bin Mohd.

Yunus (Kulim Utara): Dato' Yang di-Pertua, saya bangun mengalu2kan dan memberi sokongan di-dalam Anggaran Perbelanjaan Pembangunan Negara bagi tahun 1966 yang akan datang ini.
Dato' Yang di-Pertua, saya, bagi pehak ra'ayat dalam kawasan saya, menyampaikan terima kaseh banyak kapada Kerajaan yang telah membuat berbagai2 ke- senangan2 ra'ayat yang dalam kawasan saya.

ranchangan untok 5825 15 DECEMBER 1965 5826 Dato' Yang di-Pertua, dalam Anggar- an Perbelanjaan tahun 1966 yang akan datang ini, yang sedang di-tunggu2 dan di-nanti2 oleh ra'ayat, terutama sa-kali bumiputra bagi negara ini, ia-lah per- untokan bagi MARA atau Majlis Amanah Ra'ayat.
MARA ini-lah, Dato' Yang di-Pertua, yang di-harapkan dan di-nanti2kan oleh ra'ayat bumiputra, Mudahan2 dengan ada-nya MARA ini- lah, dapat ra'ayat di-luar2 bandar, ya'ani bumiputra, meninggikan taraf ekonomi diri-nya masing2.
Dato' Yang di-Pertua, saya perchaya dengan ada-nya MARA ini dapat-lah bumiputra negara ini yang ada kelayakan dalam sa-barang per usahaan dan perniagaan, dapat melateh diri dalam ranchangan2 yang saya sebut- tadi, dan dapat-lah bersama2 kan dengan warganegara yang ada dalam ini merasai ni'mat2 di- negara kita dalam negara-nya sendiri.
Dato' Yang di-Pertua, pada fikiran saya, masaalah yang kita hendak men- jayakan MARA atau Majlis Amanah Ra'ayat ini, ia-lah bergantong, terutama sa-kali dengan kemahuan ra'ayat dan dengan kehendak ra'ayat sendiri, dan juga dengan kerjasama yang kuat, dan lebeh tegas lagi daripada Menteri2 yang bersangkutan.

Terutama sa-kali yang saya hendak sebutkan di-sini, ia-lah Menteri Perdagangan dan Perusahaan.
Kerana, Dato' Yang di-Pertua, puncha- nya perusahaan dan perdagangan ia- lah dengan melalui atau pun dengan bantuan dan pertolongan daripada Menteri ini, umpama dapat kemudahan, memberi permit2 import dan export, dan permit2 kebenaran menubohkan kilang2 dan perusahaan yang lain2.
Lebeh2 lagi, dapat Menteri ini memberi perlindong- an yang utama kapada perusahaan2 dan perniagaan2 anak bumiputra di-dalam negara ini, supaya jangan di-cheroboh dan dapat competition atau perlawanan daripada perniagaan dan perusahaan yang lain2, terutama sa-kali dari luar negeri.

Yang kedua, Dato' Yang di-Pertua, ia-lah daripada Yang Berhormat Men teri Pengangkutan.
Kerana, di-dalam tiap2 perusahaan dan perniagaan ini, maka tidak dapat tidak, ra'ayat2 atau ini pun perusahaan dan perniagaan berkehendakkan pengangkutan untok mengangkut segala keperluan dalam perusahaan dan perniagaan-nya sendiri.

Jadi ini-lah yang saya harap supaya beliau ini dapat memberi kesenangan dan kemudahan.

Dato' Yang di-Pertua, bukan-lah saya katakan yang Menteri ini tidak pernah memberi kemudahan dan kesenangan kapada ra'ayat dan bumiputera dalam negara ini.
Dan saya berharap apa-bila di-jalankan MARA ini kelak hendak-lah Menteri ini be- kerja lebeh giat dan lebeh baik lagi memberi kesenangan kapada ra'ayat2 bumiputera dalam negeri ini, dalam sangkutan Yang ketiga, ia-lah Menteri Tanah dan Galian kerana, Dato' Yang di- Pertua, dengan MARA atau berkenaan dengan MARA ini ada persangkutan dengan Menteri ini ia-itu dengan senang-nya dapat mengikhtiarkan memberi kemudahan kapada MARA atau pun anak bumi putera ini dengan mengeluarkan kayu2 balak dan galian2 yang ada di-dalam bumi Malaysia ini, yang kaya raya yang tidak dapat di-ne'mati, di-rasai oleh bumiputera-nya sendiri, dan juga dapat-lah Menteri ini memberi nasihat2 kapada Kerajaan Negeri yang mana sa-kira-nya pun bumiputera ra'ayat2 bumiputera ini berkehendak kan tanah2 supaya hendak membena gedong atau kedai2 untok perniagaan.
Kerana, Dato' Yang di-Pertua, pada fikiran saya perniagaan dan perusahaan ini tentu-lah tidak dapat kita dirikan di-kampong2 yang berjauhan daripada bandar2 atau pekan2.

Tanah2 yang dalam bandar2 sangat-lah mahal harga- nya tentu-lah tidak dapat di-ikhtiarkan dan di-beli dengan harga yang murah.

Maka ini-lah berkehendakkan per tolongan, kerjasama yang lebeh tegas daripada Kementerian ini.
atau Yang keempat-nya, Dato' Yang di- Pertua, ia-lah Menteri Sharikat Kerja sama dan Pertanian kerana ini ada-lah bersangkut paut dengan pemasaran.
Ini-lah yang sangat besar di-dalam kita hendak berniaga dan hendak memaju- kan perusahaan dan perniagaan kita kerana di-sini termasok-lah perusahaan menanam tanaman2 saperti sayor dan buahan2, kerana dalam negara kita ini tidak ada segala pasaran orang2 kita yang menerima, kerana, itu maka 5827 15 DECEMBER 1965 5828 ia-itu saya Dato' Yang di-Pertua, di-sini satu suka-lah hendak memberikan gambaran yang telah terjadi di-daerah dalam negeri Kedah bagaimana sedeh- nya sa-orang kampong yang telah berusaha dengan sunggoh2 me- nanam tebu.
Saya ingat hampir2 30-40 relong.

Masa hamba Allah ini hendak pergi menchari beneh tebu maka pergi- tauke2 China yang lah beli kapada sedang mengepit2 ayer tebu itu dan tauke2 ini mengaku apabila tebu ini telah chukup tua dan patut di-tebang kelak akan menerima sa-kian2 sa-puloh satu2 ringgit pada pikul.

Tetapi, Dato' Yang di-Pertua, apabila sudah ini di-tebang sampai masa-nya atau di-bawa-lah dengan lorry pergi ka-bandar dan bukan sahaja harga-nya murah lang- song oleh pembeli2 yang membuat ayer2 tebu.
Ini- lah yang terutama sa-kali, Dato' Yang di-Pertua, saya harap dalam MARA ini hendak-lah Kementerian2 yang saya sebutkan bekerjasama antara satu dengan lain supaya dapat menjayakan sa-benar2-nya untok faedah bumiputera lama ini yang menganggor dan tidak dapat bersama2 dengan saudara2 kita daripada kaum2 dan warga negara yang ada dalam negara kita sendiri.
tebu di-potong maka tidak mahu di-terima sudah dapat tadi Dato' Yang di-Pertua, di-dalam negara kita, walau bagaimana sa-kali pun, maka tentu-lah ada pehak2 yang tidak ada kerja atau pun penganggoran.
Jadi di-sini, Dato' Yang di-Pertua, pada fikiran saya sudah sampai-lah masa-nya yang Kerajaan kita ini atau pun Kementerian Buroh membuatkan undang2 ia-itu memerentahkan segala majikan2 atau pun kilang2 perusahaan, sama ada yang daripada luar negeri atau pun yang di-jalankan oleh warga negara di-dalam negara kita sendiri mengambil pekerja2 daripada bumi putera dalam negara ini sa-kurang2-nya 40%.
Kerana, Dato' Yang di-Pertua, saya perchaya kalau sa-lagi kita tidak adakan satu undang2 yang memerentah supaya pekilang2 atau pun perusahaan2 dalam negara kita ini mengambil pekerja2 daripada bumiputera dalam negara kita ini sendiri, sampai bila sa- kali pun mereka ini tidak ada belas kasehan kapada bumiputera ini.
Dato' Yang di-Pertua, pada fikiran saya pehak majikan atau pun kilang2 perusahaan ini tidak-lah mereka dapat daripada Rang Undang2 menolak ini kerana yang kita minta pun ini memohonkan pehak bumiputera belas kasehan kapada pekilang2 itu hanya sa-bagai sa-orang buroh, sa- bagai menjadi buroh di-dalam kilang2 yang ada mendapat keuntongan di- dalam negara kita ini.

Menjadi buroh, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ia-lah untok sa- suap nasi pagi dan sa-suap petang.
Maka sa-patut sangat-lah, maka ini tidak dapat di-bangkang dan senang sahaja segala per usahaan2 yang besar2 dalam negara kita ini.
Kerana, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, negara kita pehak Kerajaan kita dan juga pehak bumiputera ini sangat-lah lemah lembut dan sangat mengasehi, sangat berbaik budi, sa-hingga, ra'ayat bumiputera ini sendiri merayu dan meminta kapada pehak yang bukan bumiputera untok hidup, tetapi, Dato' Yang di-Pertua, yang saya tahu-lah kalau negara2 lain maka pehak yang mendatang itu-lah memohonkan belas kasehan, belas rahim kapada bumi putera atau pun kapada ra'ayat bumi putera atau pun kapada Kerajaan negara itu.
di-terima oleh Maka ini-lah, Dato' Yang di-Pertua, yang saya harap dapat di-jalankan oleh Kerajaan ini.

Pada fikiran saya sampai- lah masa-nya pehak Kementerian Buroh menetap atau pun membuatkan satu undang2 memerentah supaya tiap2 pekilang perusahaan yang besar meng ambil pekerja2 daripada bumiputera negara ini sa-kurang2-nya 40%.

Sekian-lah, Dato' Pengerusi, terima kaseh.

Enche' Khoo Peng Loong (Sarawak): Mr Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the amendment moved by the Honourable Member for Tanjong.
I find that the First Malaysia Plan appears to be too rosy for the benefit to of the peoples of Malaysia, and achieve full realisation of this Plan all Malaysians have been urged to work hard to accomplish it.
Mr Speaker, Sir, we in the Opposition will no doubt do our utmost to work with the Govern ment for the success of this Plan, for 5829 15 DECEMBER 1965 5830 we want to see to it that the standard of living of the people will be raised so as to help the poor and also that the great disparity between the "haves" and the "havenots" will be narrowed down.
the Mr Speaker, Sir, just now I have heard from a Member from Sarawak that the Government of Sarawak is not helping enough indigenous people, and he also touched on the issuing of motor licences by the Sibu Urban District Council to the non- indigenous persons instead of indige nous persons.

At the beginning of this Session, Sir, I was asked by the Hon ourable Minister of Finance to close my mouth if I did not have any know ledge of anything I spoke of.
So, I would like now to ask that Member to close his mouth if he has no know ledge of the things he spoke about just now.

Sir, as Chairman of the Sibu Urban District Council, I wish to reiterate that the Council has no autho rity to issue any motor licences.

This authority is vested in the hands of the Divisional Land Transport Committee, and I wish to say that none of the Councillors this Committee.
is a member of Enche' Chia Chin Shin (Sarawak): Mr Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the motion for the First Malaysia Five- Year Plan which is now tabled in this House for debate.

This First Malaysia Five-Year Plan is welcomed by the people of Sarawak.

I would like to take this opportunity the Honourable Deputy Prime Minister for his good work in the preparation of this Plan and especially for the special attention given to the Borneo States.
I would like also to congratulate all the officials working under his Ministry their contribution of hard work for towards this Plan.

to congratulate to According this Plan, Sarawak could expect more allocation that what had been agreed in the Inter-Govern mental Committee Report for develop ment expenditure over the next 5 years.
It was then agreed in the Inter-Govern the mental Committee Report that to Central Government undertook allocate $300 million over 5 years, but now in this Plan Sarawak is being allocated with $464 million of which $63.5 million will be for defence.

The people of Sarawak are most grateful to the Central Government for such a generous and substantial allocation to their social and help economic developments and raising their living standards.
Let us hope that the Government will be able to recruit enough to help develop Sarawak and make full use of the funds available for the next 5 years.

in promoting technicians I have learned that it is the aim of the First Malaysia Five-Year Plan to provide plenty for all Malaysians irres race, creed or political pective of affiliations; it will also create 380,000 new jobs in Malaya and 80,000 in Sabah and Sarawak in the next 5 years, that is to say, a total of 460,000 jobs by 1970.
This is most encouraging and gratifying.

Normally, in a growing and developing nation like ours with a birth rate of 3% it means that the increase of our population will be double in less than 25 years.

So we are faced with the great programme of creating jobs for our younger generations.

Sir, as we all know, Malaysia is an agricultural country.

At the moment most of the States are, to a certain extent, still depending on imported rice, the staple food of the population.
It is my sincere hope the next five years we will be able to grow enough rice for our own consumption.

that in As for Sarawak, I would like to touch on the question of agricultural schools.

In view of the selection examination at the primary level, only 30% students are selected every year to Secondary Schools and the balance of 70% will either go to unaided and private schools or look for jobs some where.
to go However, due to their limited age of 12 to 14 years, it is difficult for them to seek employment, because they are too young.

Since Sarawak is an agricul tural State, I fervently hope that the Government will consider to establish schools of post more agricultural primary school level throughout the State to accommodate these pupils, so that when they come out they will be 5831 15 DECEMBER 1965 5832 able to do cultivation either on their own, or help the farmers to grow more food.
They will feel proud when they are useful to the nation.

I would urge the Government to take this matter into consideration.

Another point which I would like to touch on is the question of roads and bridges.

All those who have been to Sarawak will agree with me that some long houses or kampongs in the ulu are situated in very remote areas.
These people find it difficult to transport all their requirements into their houses or send their produce for sale to the mar kets this is so particularly when some long houses or the one kampongs.

Unless they are often visited by travelling dispensaries, they would have to carry these patients for a long way in order to catch the transport to hospital.

It is my fervent hope that more roads and bridges will be con structed for these people in Sarawak.
is sick in this service improvement of Last week, I touched on the tele phone trunk call service in Sarawak, and I would like to repeat my appeal to the Honourable Minister to consider the in Sarawak.

Furthermore, I was given to the V.H.F.

Radio understand Service is also very poor.

This is mostly used by the shipping companies, the sawmills and timber camps.

They also complained this V.H.F.

to me that Radio Service is open only during office hours.
that At this time, as the timber camps are working almost twenty-four hours by shifts in order to produce more logs for world market, they need to make use of V.H.F.

Radio Services for com munications of messages, even after office hours.

In this connection I also refer to some outstations like Sibuti, Niah, and others which would also need 24-hour service.

In view of this I would appeal to the Minister con cerned to increase the working hours to provide for a 24-hour service, if it is possible.
Lastly, I would like to touch on the question of television for the Borneo States.

I remember that last year I raised a question in this House on this subject.

Now, I would like to speak on it again.

Radio Sarawak was established in the year 1954.

After so many years, it is natural for the people of Sarawak to choose to have one stage of improve ment or something new especially after Malaysia everybody would like to see some changes for the better take place.
Moreover, communication is still slack and difficult.

The best means to com municate with the ulu people, besides radio, will be television.

I, therefore, hope that the extension of television to the Borneo States will receive urgent consideration.

Mr Speaker, Sir, I fully support this motion.

Thank you, Sir.
Thank you, Sir.

Enche' Mohamed Yusof bin Mah- mud (Temerloh): Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya bangun menyokong usul yang di- bawa oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri ia-itu satu usul membentangkan kapada Dewan ini segala kemajuan2 yang telah di- chapai pada masa yang lampau dan hasrat Kerajaan untok menjalankan kemajuan2 bagi faedah ra'ayat negara tahun yang ini pada masa ka-hadapan.
lima Tuan Yang di-Pertua, untok mengu- lang kaji hasil daripada kemajuan2 dua ranchangan sa-puloh tahun yang telah lampau, saya bersama yang kemajuan yang akan di-chadangkan pada lima tahun yang ka-hadapan ini akan ber- jalan dengan lebeh pesat, lebeh baik dan maju.

Berdasarkan kapada ini kita melihat apa yang telah kita buat ia-itu segala chita2 Kerajaan hendak mem- beri kema'amoran negara ini kapada telah di-jalankan dengan ra'ayat-nya itu mendapat kepuasan hati.
Sebab kita tengok, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ranchangan yang pertama ia-itu ran changan membuat segala pelan2, ran changan bagi menjalankan segala pro gramme2 yang telah di-ranchangkan, kita ra'ayat di-Tanah Melayu ini telah maju lebeh daripada negara yang telah merdeka dahulu daripada kita ia-itu di-sekeliling tanah ayer kita ini.

Maka ini, rasa saya, satu kepujian yang patut kapada kita berikan Kerajaan atas usaha yang telah di- majukan itu.
sa-tinggi2-nya Dalam usul ini, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, ada satu ayat yang sangat menarek hati saya, ia-itu "mengakui 5833 15 DECEMBER 1965 5834 ra'ayat2 dan negeri2 peri perlu-nya menggalak dan penya- dalam tuan Malaysia sa-buah dan membena negara yang lebeh bersatu".

Ini satu ayat, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, yang ber tiap2 warga kehendakkan supaya negara dalam negeri ini mesti mema- hami tujuan besar ra'ayat negeri ini hendak menjadikan Malaysia ini satu negara yang ma'amor, aman dan damai.
Jadi dalam perkara ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, tidak ada-lah timbul satu soal yang mengatakan yang Kera- satu2 jaan patut menolong kapada pehak, kapada satu2 bangsa.

Kewa- jipan Kerajaan ia-lah memberi per- lindongan seluroh-nya kapada ra'ayat yang menderita—pada mereka yang berkehendakkan pertolongan wajib di- beri pertolongan—tidak ada timbul soal mahu menolong Melayu atau pun siapa.
lima tahun Dalam negara kita Malaysia ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ra'ayat yang tertindas sa-kali ia-lah tidak lain dan tidak bukan yang terdiri dari bumi- ia-itu orang Melayu, orang putera Dayak, orang Kadazan dan seluroh native2 yang negeri ini negeri-nya sen- diri.
Jadi dalam kita melancharkan kemajuan ka-hadapan besok, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya ber- harap tidak ada soal timbul, mengapa orang2 yang daripada bumiputera yang berkehendakkan pimpinan itu men- dapat halangan yang besar daripada mereka2 yang bukan daripada bumi- putera ini ia-itu hasrat Kerajaan, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, dalam ranchangan tahun yang ka-hadapan besok lima ia-itu dengan menolong bumiputera Jabatan MARA mengadakan khas ra'ayat bumi yang akan memandu putera taraf hidup mereka supaya sama dengan taraf hidup ra'ayat yang bukan bumiputera.
Jadi saya harap kapada mereka yang bukan bumi putera iri hati.

jangan-lah berasa Kalau mahukan negeri ini negeri yang aman, negeri yang damai, maka taraf hidup ra'ayat mesti-lah tidak ada per- bezaan-nya yang jauh, mesti-lah ada sama rata.

Pada masa ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ra'ayat daripada bumiputera segala2-nya kekurangan, Tuan Yang di-Pertua—pelajaran, dan segala2-nya ini berkehendakkan pim pinan.
Maka dalam ranchangan lima iktisad tahun ka-hadapan ini, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, telah di-sediakan segala per tolongan2.

Jadi daripada ra'ayat yang bukan ingat bumiputera mesti-lah kalau mereka mahukan menjadi negara ini negara mereka sendiri maka tidak ada halangan akan timbul dalam masa hadapan besok kita perdebatkan segala perbelanjaan yang akan di- berikan untok menolong bumiputera.
Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, itu-lah saya katakan tadi ini, ini satu ayat yang sangat2 menarek hati saya dan saya berdoa' mudah2an perkara ini dapat di-jalankan dengan elok dan baik.
Sa-lain daripada itu, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, hasrat Kerajaan ada-lah untok melancharkan Lima Ranchangan Tahun ini yang saya pandang satu usaha yang sangat2 berani, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kerana saya katakan bagitu, Kerajaan kita atau pun negara kita sedang menghadapi beberapa masaalah di-luar negeri dan dalam negeri, hal luar negeri, hal berkenaan dengan Indonesia yang maseh lagi berkeras dan berdegil untok hendak memechahkan atau menjahanamkan kita.
Maka di-dalam ini ada di-bentangkan satu perbelanjaan yang besar juga, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, untok per- tahanan negara.

Maka di-sini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, usaha ini saya sa-kali lagi meminta seluroh ra'ayat negara ini memberi pertolongan, memberi kerjasama kapada Kerajaan dalam perkara ini.
negara Satu perkara yang saya bangkitkan, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya nampak dalam menjaga negara, ra'ayat di-luar bandar sahaja nampak-nya yang me- mikul bebanan ra'ayat di-luar ini, bandar sahaja, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, yang di-kehendaki menjaga kampong2, tetapi saya pandangkan ra'ayat dalam bandar tidak di-kehendaki.
Ra'ayat di-dalam bandar yang terdiri daripada orang2 yang kaya2, terdiri daripada orang2 yang senang sahaja, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, tetapi ra'ayat di-luar bandar terdiri dari orang2 miskin, orang yang tidak ada kemampuan di-paksa ia-itu siang dan menjaga negera, berjaga malam, ra'ayat di- tetapi mengapa dalam bandar tidak di-samakan juga bertanggong jawab menjaga negara kita.

5835 15 DECEMBER 1965 5836 Jadi ini, rasa saya, patut mendapat perhatian Kerajaan dalam perkara ini.
Sebab rasa saya, tanggong jawab kita terhadap negara kita ia-lah menjaga negara kita.

Jika ada ra'ayat yang rasa tidak hendak menjaga negara, saya, mereka ra'ayat negeri ini dan jikalau mereka bukan ra'ayat negeri ini tidak sa-mesti-nya mereka mendapat segala nekmat dari pada!

negara ini.

Ini-lah rasa saya satu perkara yang saya patut bentangkan ka-dalam Dewan ini supaya mendapat perhatian dari Kerajaan.
itu bukan-lah juta sendiri tenaga kita Sa-lain daripada dalam itu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ini ranchangan kita berkehendakkan wang sa-banyak $10,000 untok menjayakan ranchangan2 ini—di-sini ada menerang- kan beberapa chara mendapatkan wang untok menjalankan kemajuan ini, sa- belum kita menerima wang daripada luar negeri, sebab ada di-chadangkan dalam buku Ranchangan Lima Tahun ini, ada meranchangkan lebeh kurang $1,900 juta akan di-chuba mendapat luar negeri.
Saya pinjaman daripada rasa kita lebeh baik berusaha meng- gunakan dan menchari helah, jalan, supaya jangan kita berhutang dari luar negeri, sebab, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, jika kita berhu tang dari luar negeri, akibat-nya sadikit sa-banyak pun tentu-lah kita akan menerima perkara2 yang akan menekan keadaan kita terpaksa menerima sharat2 yang di-tentukan oleh orang yang hendak memberi pinjaman itu.
Kita chuba-lah menchari pendapat- an kita sendiri ia-itu chara kita men jalankan perbelanjaan dengan jimat- chermat dan siasat lebeh halus akan segala perbelanjaan yang kita jalankan itu tidak membazir.

Perkara ini telah saya uchapkan dalam masa Dewan kita membahathkan per belanjaan tahun 1966.

Maka saya tidak- lah lagi hendak membalekkan perkara ini, tetapi saya perchaya mendapat pandangan yang berat daripada Kera jaan chara2 kita menjalankan chermat atau pun mengurangkan perbelanjaan yang membazir.
supaya betul2 ia-itu kita Lagi satu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, di- sini dalam uchapan untok memberi ketegasan berkenaan dengan usul ini ada mengatakan kita di-sini kekurangan ia-itu semenjak dua tenaga manusia yang chekap.

Di-sini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, untok kemajuan2 satu ranchangan maka satu daripada unsor-nya ia-lah tenaga manusia yang chekap yang di-kehendaki, tetapi apa- kah chara atau apa-kah persediaan kita untok memberi kechekapan kapada tenaga2 buroh kita.
Sunggoh pun, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kita telah melanchar- kan satu sistem pelajaran comprehen sive policy atau satu pelajaran aneka jurusan tahun yang tetapi pada pandangan saya, sudah, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, chuma di-jalan- kan sekolah2 yang di-dalam bandar, tetapi di-sekolah2 di-luar bandar maseh lagi berchorak lama dan tidak ada lagi nampak-nya chara2 yang boleh mendi- dek anak2 akan menjadi buroh yang chekap saperti mengadakan pelajaran teknikal, pelajaran vocational atau pelajaran pertukangan dan sa- bagai-nya yang banyak sekolah2 di- luar bandar.
Maka satu chara-nya, Tuan.

Yang di-Pertua, untok mendapat buroh yang chekap ini ta' lain dan ta' bukan atau pelajaran khas kapada anak2 sekolah yang di-bangku sekolah atau pun yang telah keluar sekolah yang belum dapat didekan lebeh ban- yak lagi di-adakan sekolah2 teknikal, sekolah pelajaran berkenaan dengan vocational ini di-adakan lebeh banyak di-luar bandar.
Mereka dalam bandar bernasib baik, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kerana mereka ada perusahaan2 di- banyak sekeliling mereka, bangunan2 yang mana buroh2 ini boleh melatehkan diri mereka untok masok menjadi buroh yang chekap, tetapi mereka yang di-luar bandar, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, bernasib kurang oleh sebab tidak ada peluang sa-macham ini, yang kedua tidak ada sekolah2 yang boleh mereka masok.
ia-lah pendidekan ini patut ada Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ini-lah saya rasa untok menchari tenaga buroh yang chekap, maka saya menchadangkan tadi ia-itu kita mulai pada hari ini, pada tahun hadapan, tiap2 sekolah dari pada sekolah rendah sampai menengah rendah, maka pelajaran2 ini patut-lah di-utamakan oleh pehak Kerajaan.

Sekarang saya berchakap atas satu lagi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, perkara 5837 15 DECEMBER 1965 5838 ini ada ia-itu berkenaan dengan hasrat Kera- jaan.
Dalam ini ada mengatakan ia-itu hasrat Kerajaan sa-boleh2-nya segala barang2 keperluan ra'ayat negara ini hendak-lah kita sendiri mengadakan, tidak berkehendakkan kapada pem- bawaan dari luar negeri.

Ini saya rasa satu chara yang sangat2 mustahak bagi negeri kita.

Hasrat tertulis dalam Buku ini, maka saya rasa ini-lah satu perkara yang sangat mustahak.
Sunggoh pun banyak ahli2 daripada sahabat saya telah mengatakan ber kenaan dengan pembawaan staple food, ia-itu barang2 keperluan hidup ra'ayat di-negeri ini saperti beras dari luar negeri patut di-kurangkan, tetapi sa- belum kita menjalankan itu, maka kewajipan kita ia-lah membanyakkan lagi ra'ayat ini bertanam padi supaya kita tidak lagi menumpukan kapada pembawaan dari luar negeri.
Usaha ini saya rasa sedang giat di-jalankan oleh Kementerian Pertanian, sunggoh pun usaha itu memang giat, tetapi belum lagi luas atau besar keadaan-nya, sebab di-negeri saya, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, banyak lagi tanah2 yang boleh di-jalan kan perusahaan menanam padi ini yang kalau di-usahakan saya perchaya-lah mendapat kejayaan yang penoh dan ini juga akan mengurangkan lagi keadaan buroh yang menganggor dalam negeri kita ini.

Sa-lain daripada perkara yang musta hak ini ia-itu beras.
Ini ada lagi banyak perkara yang lain yang kita tidak ber kehendakkan masok dari luar negeri ini saperti saya cheritakan dahulu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, makanan jagong dan sa-bagai-nya yang tidak di-kehendaki di-bawa ka-dalam negeri ini yang boleh di-tanam dalam negeri ini—ini 2-3 per kara—tetapi kita banyak lagi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, yang boleh di-buat di- negeri ini, dan dengan chara ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, menuju bagaimana ke- hendak dan hasrat economic planning yang ada dalam Buku ini.
ia-itu kita Akhir-nya, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya merayu kapada satu perkara Kerajaan sekarang ada economic planning atau peranchang ekonomi ia-lah bagi pehak Persekutuan sahaja.
Jadi, saya berharap juga dapat tiap2 negeri, terutama negeri saya satu jabatan berkenaan dengan men jalankan economic planning atau pun dasar ekonomi kita yang di-ranchang- kan di-Persekutuan ini di-adakan di- tiap2 negeri supaya segala planning yang di-buat oleh Persekutuan ini dapat di-jalankan oleh negeri dan juga ada masaalah2 yang baharu yang akan timbul dalam negeri, pegawai2 ini boleh meranchangkan bagi negeri itu.
Ini akan memberi satu faedah yang besar, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, untok melancharkan, melichinkan, perjalanan ranchangan economic planning dari pada Persekutuan ka-Negeri2.

Jadi saya rasa Ranchangan Lima Tahun ini saya perchaya-lah sa-mesti-nya akan berjalan dengan baik bagaimana juga Ranchangan Yang Pertama dan Yang Kedua bagaimana ada terchatit dalam uchapan ini mengatakan sudah men dapat kejayaan lebeh yang telah di- fikirkan.
Bagitu saya harap Ranchangan Lima Tahun hadapan lebeh kejayaan juga akan mendapat sa-bagaimana yang telah kita buat pada masa lampau.

Jadi, sa-kali lagi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya mengalu2- kan usul yang di-bawa oleh Yang Berhormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri ini dan saya berdo'a mudah2an Ran changan Lima Tahun ini, akan berjaya.

Terima kaseh.
Terima kaseh.

juga Enche' Abu Bakar bin Hamzah (Bachok): Tuan Yang di-Pertua, de ngan izin tuan, saya mengambil peluang berchakap sadikit berkenaan dengan usul yang di-kemukakan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri kita atas tajok Ranchangan Malaysia Yang Pertama.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, sa-belum dari pada saya menempoh sadikit sa-banyak perkara2 yang sempat saya hendak tempoh, saya terlebeh dahulu minta izin kapada Tuan hendak menyatakan dukachita yang amat besar terhadap bentok atau pun chara uchapan yang telah di-buat oleh Yang Amat Ber hormat Timbalan Perdana Menteri pagi tadi ia-itu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kalau kita semak dalam muka yang kedua.
muka ketiga dan muka yang keempat, kita dapati satu perkataan pun tidak ada yang di-uchapkan oleh Timbalan Perdana Menteri kita yang menggambarkan terima kaseh kapada 5839 15 DECEMBER 1965 5840 lupa tetapi dia pehak Pembangkang.

Tuan Yang di- Pertua, Timbalan Perdana Menteri di- ketika dia mengemukakan uchapan itu bukan-lah dia itu Timbalan Perdana Menteri bagi Parti Perikatan, tetapi dia ia-lah Timbalan Perdana Menteri bagi negara Malaysia yang kami, ter- utama-nya daripada pehak P.M.I.P.
ini juga berketuakan kapada beliau itu.

Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, Yang Amat Berhormat itu memberi terima kaseh kapada beribu2 orang, bermacham2 lapangan, langsong kapada parti Pembangkang, padahal di-dalam Parliament yang sa-macham ini di-ketika membuat satu uchapan yang berupa uchapan pembangunan nasional bagi masa 5 tahun atau pun 20 tahun, tidak-lah patut di-nafikan penting-nya kerjasama pehak Pembang kang di-dalam menolong menjayakan plan yang tersebut.
Sa-olah2-nya, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kami ini datang ka- dalam Dewan ini sa-mata2-lah hendak menunggu $35 sahaja pada satu hari, sedang kami juga walau pun kechil khidmat kami, kami juga telah mem beri atau pun contribute kapada pem bangunan negara ini.
Tuan Yang di- saya menyatakan dukachita Pertua, Enche' Mohamed Yusof bin Mah- mud (Temerloh): Tuan Yang di-Pertua, pada muka 2 Yang Berhormat Tim balan Perdana Menteri, ada menyata Opposition—saya kan bachakan: berkenaan "The Opposition, particularly those who are blind followers of outdated doctrines and political philosophies formulated many years ago—by such people as Karl Marx and Engels, allege that the Alliance Govern ment has no political philosophy and there fore any development plan without a philo sophy cannot possibly succeed and cannot benefit intellectuals who are so philosophically conscious, I say categorically that the Alliance has a philo sophy that is bearing fruit in actual practice and the evidence of its success lies in the progress that we, as a young nation, have achieved since Independence."
the people.

To those Jadi, kalau kata tidak ada, memang ada.

Enche' Abu Bakar bin Hamzah: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya pun ada juga salinan itu, ma'ana the Opposition ini menudoh ini erti-nya Opposition Kerajaan tidak mempunya'i philosophy, particularly itu, dia memberatkan ka pada satu pehak yang tertentu tetapi termasok the Opposition tidak itu ini betul2 juga.

Jadi, erti-nya kami punya manusia out-dated yang langsong pemegang philosophies dan tidak memberi kerjasama.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya amat-lah dukachita dan betul kalau saya hendak di-tudoh sa- sa-orang ahli yang jiwa-nya bagai emotional saya terlampau mengaku, di-Pertua, Tuan Yang uchapan yang sa-macham ini tidak-lah patut dan saya, kalau ada Menteri itu, saya hendak minta kapada beliau menarek balek uchapan yang melupa- kan kami yang sama2 turut dalam Dewan ini dan besok kalau beliau hadhir saya akan tuntut lagi perkara ini.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua.
tetapi ia-itu di-Pertua, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kami kata bagitu ia-lah di-dalam uchapan-nya, saya ulaskan dengan rengkas, Tuan Yang di-dalam uchapan Timbalan Perdana Menteri, muka 2 juga mengatakan waktu hendak menjalankan ranchangan ini, Kerajaan berharap kapada semua pehak supaya memberi kerjasama tetapi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, apabila berjaya daripada tahun 1961 sampai tahun 1965, harapan yang di-minta telah kami beri itu walau pun tidak di-hargai oleh Per ikatan, tetapi tidak ada langsong terima kaseh di-dalam perkara ini dan kami rasa, terutama bagi pehak saya sendiri, amat-lah dukachita dan rasa langsong tidak ada harga saya sa-bagai Member Parlimen dalam negeri Malay sia ini.
saya Tuan Yang di-Pertua, lagi pada muka 3, satu pukulan yang amat hebat ia-itu kata-nya: "Now, Mr Speaker, Sir, I would like to give credit to those many Members of Parliament on the correct side of this House .

.

.

."
.

.

."

Jadi, erti-nya Timbalan Perdana Menteri kita ini memberi terima kaseh kapada Member2 Parlimen dan saya menunggu dengan minat kalau2 terima kaseh itu termasok juga Member Parlimen dari tetapi dengan per- pada opposition kataan "on the correct side of this House" saya tidak tahu-lah yang mana correct side-nya, saya tahu ia-lah pehak 5841 15 DECEMBER 1965 5842 Kerajaan sendiri.
Jadi, Tuan Yang di Pertua, chukup-lah sa-takat itu hendak mengulas rasa tidak puas hati saya kapada Menteri yang mewakili negara kita membuat uchapan pada hari ini.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, apabila saya hendak menyentoh sadikit sa-banyak berkenaan dengan isi uchapan Tim balan Perdana Menteri kita ini, kita dapat lihat di-dalam muka 4 ia-itu satu perkara yang amat menyedehkan yang bunyi-nya "We are a nation of many races, many cultures; a country in which all are allowed to practise many religions".
Itu yang tersebut-nya, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, muka yang keempat paragraph yang ketiga.

Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kalau-lah di dalam negara kita ini betul2 di-amalkan demokrasi dan di-benarkan semua orang itu menjalankan ugama masing2, saya amat-lah menguchap dukachita kapada Kerajaan yang telah menegah beberapa ayat Quran di-bacha di dalam negara ini konon-nya ayat Quran itu menimbulkan atau boleh menimbulkan di-dalam negara kita ini.
huru-hara tidak, lain atau pun Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya tidak berchakap di-atas tangkapan2 yang di lakukan ka-atas tokoh2 PAS atau pun ulama2 yang berkaitan dengan PAS.
Dan saya memberi peluang kapada Kerajaan menimbangkan bahawa tentu lah ada bokti2 yang dapat di-tunjokkan oleh Kerajaan sama ada di-akui oleh orang tetapi jalan menentukan beberapa dengan ayat tidak boleh di-bacha pada orang ramai; erti-nya sikap itu sudah ber lawan dengan kebebasan berugama dan tidak ada ma'ana kita mengadakan "ugama rasmi" ini apabila sa-bahagian daripada Quran itu di-tegah dan im lah yang Quran telah memberi tahu bahawa akan timbul satu pemerentahan yang sa-paroh daripada Quran itu di gunakan dan sa-paroh lagi di-buang sapertj mana perman Tuhan (Bahasa Arab).
Ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, amat-lah menyedehkan dan saya harap Kerajaan sa-mula akan mengkaji uchapan2 yang di-buat pada hari ini dengan tindakan yang telah mereka jalankan di-dalam negara kita ini.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, lagi satu perkara berkenaan dengan perpe- chahan Singapura.
Saya tidak-lah hendak mengaitkan uchapan Yang Berhormat Ahli daripada Tanjong atau pun saya rasa tidak munasabah saya hendak berchakap dari hal Singapura di-sini, tetapi oleh kerana Timbalan Perdana Menteri kita menyebut di dalam paragraph yang kedua, muka 5, barisan yang kedua di-bawah-kata nya: "perpechahan Singapura itu telah berlaku atau pun di-lakukan sa-chara berperlembagaan dan dengan aman dan damai."
Jadi, ini Tuan Yang di Pertua, saya rasa hairan bagaimana kah perpechahan boleh di-lakukan dengan berperlembagaan?

Atau pun ada-kah di-waktu kita membuat Malay sia hari itu sudah ada satu clause yang tertentu bahawa apabila kita hendak berpechah, kita berpechah dengan dasar clause itu?
Atau pun apa-kah uchapan Timbalan Perdana Menteri ini berlawan pula dengan uchapan atau pun kata2 yang telah di-terbitkan oleh Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Men teri kita ia-itu kata-nya perpechahan Singapura itu ia-lah kerana "I am not strong enough" Jadi, erti-nya.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, apabila Kerajaan Per ikatan atau pun Kerajaan kita ini merasa diri-nya "not strong enough" maka ada-lah clause di-dalam Perlem bagaan itu yang boleh berpechah sa chara berperlembagaan.
Saya fikir pula saya takut dan saya bimbang kalau2 apabila opposition PMIP ini kuat dan Kerajaan Pusat berasa pula "not strong enough" maka dia akan pechahkan kami dengan alasan ada clause2 ber perlembagaan.

Ini, Tuan Yang di Pertua, amat-lah susah dan kami memandang berat di-atas pengakuan bahawa Singapura itu berpechah de ngan sa-chara berperlembagaan.
Pada hal kita tahu perpechahan Singapura itu ia-lah salah satu daripada sebab2- nya, sa-kurang2-nya dapat kita sebut tidak mahu ia-lah dia kan di-sini langsong memberi "contribution" yang patut di-beri kapada kita-40%-kah, 60%, saya lupa-tetapi itu-lah satu perkara yang besar-nya.

Apa-kah apa bila satu unit di-dalam negara kita ini tidak mahu menunaikan "contribu tion" -nya maka perpechahan itu dapat · di-lakukan dan di-sebut sa-bagai ber perlembagaan?
5843 15 DECEMBER 1965 5844 Tuan Yang di-Pertua, rengkas-nya lagi ia-lah berkenaan dengan muka 6 paragraph 4, barisan 5 ia-itu Timbalan Perdana Menteri kita menyebut: "The first steps have been the process of reducing the dependence of the economy on rubber and tin.

Agri cultural production has begun to be diverted."
taken in Tuan Yang di-Pertua, dalam meng gambarkan kema'amoran atau meng gambarkan sa-buah negara Malaysia yang ma'amor, salah satu daripada langkah2 utama yang hendak di-buat ia-lah kita hendak mengurangkan gan tongan 1ekonomi kita kapada getah dan bijeh dan untok menampong hal ini tanah ia-itu kita kemukakan polisi2 "diversification policy" untok hendak menambah-lagi hasiF yang berchorak agriculture.
Tetapi Tuan Yang di Pertua, yang dapat saya lihat di-dalam buku Ranchangan Lima Tahun Yang Pertama Malaysia, ia-itu untok maksud2 "diversification policy" ini hanya-lah sa-ribu juta ringgit sahaja itu pun ia lah dengan jalan loan-dengan jalan hutang.

J adi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua sudah tentu-lah timbul satu perkara yang sa-kurang2-nya saya rasa tidak puas hati ia-itu bahagian uchapan ini termasok di-dalam "public sector ex penditure" ia-itu modal2 yang akan di modali oleh Kerajaan dalam pemban gunan ini.
Jadi biasa-nya kalau dalam public sector ini kita bergantong ka pada sumbar2 dalam negeri lebeh kuat daripada kita hendak meminjam dari pada negara2 yang lain-wang2 dari pada luar-daripada "foreign sources."

Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, nampak nya pembangunan negara kita ini tidak bagitu sangat di-ambil berat oleh pehak Kerajaan dengan jalan "public sector", tetapi dia akan meninggalkan kerja2 pembangunan ini kapada per modalan sendiri atau private sector.
Saya nampak, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ini akan menyerahkan negara kita capitalist2 yang nasib-nya kapada merupakan entrepreneur di-dalam ne gara ini; sebab Kerajaan menyerah kan kemajuan yang sa-benar-nya itu kapada private sector di-dalam ex penditure kita dan ini amat-lah mer bahaya dan akhir-nya apabila private sector yang merupakan entrepreneur kuat gulongan entrepreneur ini akan dapat membeli Kerajaan sendiri bukan sahaja membeli kekayaan~ di-dalam negara ini, dan ini sudah berlaku di dalam neg~ra2 lain dan sejarah ada chuba-lah Kerajaan membuktikan, dengan insaf memb.alekkan sejarah neschaya bukti2-nya akan nyata.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, untok me rengkaskan uchapan saya ini, saya suka-lah hendak mengemukakan sadi kit berkenaan dengan tujuan Ran changan Malaysia Yang Pertama ia itu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, dapat kita mengerti keselurohan-nya, sebab saya tidak sempat hendak membacha buku ini dengan sa-penoh-nya kerana buku yang besar sa-bagini dan untok lima tahun di-beri sama dengan buku budget expenditure kita, sa-patut-nya benda ini di-beri sa-bulan dahulu su paya dapat kita sama2 memikirkan dan membuat "break down" yang se hat, tetapi saya mari terutama di kawasan saya kena ayer bah dan saya balek saya dapat bacha buku ini dalam tiga hari sahaja dan saya hendak buat "break down" pun saya tidak sempat hendak membuat dengan sa-benar oleh itu saya khususkan uchapan saya atau pun saya "confinekan" uchapan saya sa-mata2 kapada bahagian "public sector" sahaja dan "private sector" itu saya serahkan-lah kapada taukeh2 dan kawan2 mereka itu yang ada di-dalam Kerajaan.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kalau kita tengok perbelanjaan kita di-dalam ini berjumlah $10,500 ranchangan _million ia-itu bagi public sector sa banyak $4,550 million dan private sector ia-lah sa-banyak $5,950 million.

Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, yang pelek nya di-dalam hal ini bila kita buat "break down" kita dapati Defence sahaja ada $600 million dan Educa tion ada $450 million.
J adi di-mana kah chontoh-nya di-dalam dunia, sa bagaimana yang di-katakan oleh Tim balan Perdana Menteri pagi tadi ba hawa di-mana2 developing country erti-nya negeri2 yang sedang maju, mengadakan ranchangan lima tahun, di-mana-kah sa-buah negara di-dalam membentok--di-dalam membuat satu design bagi plan yang sa-macham ini 5845 15 DECEMBER 1965 5846 melebehkan Defence daripada Educa tion ini tidak pernah kedengaran, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, melainkan negara Malaysia kita sahaja, sebab di-mana2 pun kalau kita hendak promote— "standard of hendak meninggikan living" bagi satu2 masharakat negara, bukan-lah dengan jalan membanyak- kan wang untok Defence dan Internal Security ia-lah dengan mem- banyakkan.
tetapi Enche' Abdul Razak bin Haji Hussin (Lipis): Tuan Yang di-Pertua, tidak-kah Yang Berhormat tahu keadaan negeri kita ini dalam konfran- tasi, kita patut mempertahankan diri kita di-samping memajukan negeri kita sendiri.

itu sebab project" Enche' Abu Bakar bin Hamzah: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya sedang hendak menuju ka-situ tetapi yang kita berchakap ini ia-lah berkenaan dengan Economic Development.
Jadi, Internal oleh kerana Defence dan Security ini bagi saya ia-lah "unpro ductive saya comment di-atas ini, bukan saya tidak tidak munasabah—sa-bodoh2 sedar, Ahli Parlimen pun tahu bahawa kita ini di-dalam keadaan konfrantasi oleh Indonesia tetapi dari segi "economic development" untok pengetahuan Ahli Yang Berhormat itu bahawa Defence termasok di-dalam unproductive ini project.
Saya bimbang saudara saya itu tidak dapat membezakan antara "unproductive project" dengan "pro ductive project" dalam public sector expenditure.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, .

.

.

Enche' Abdul Razak bin) Haji Hussin: Oleh sebab chara preamble— chara dia mengeluarkan itu menjadi satu bahan bagi mengelirukan, maka itu-lah yang saya tegor.

Saya faham, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, Yang Berhormat ini chukup bijak sa-hingga misai-nya pun dia jarang chukor.
Enche' Abu Bakar bin Hamzah: Saya hendak marah pun sudah lembut, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kemudian kita tengok pula ia-itu satu chara yang kita hendak meninggikan taraf hidup kita ia-lah kita membanyakkan pem- segi economic dan bangunan dari "has di-Pertua, ini ini-lah social development, dan untok ini kita ada hanya $3,810 million dan apabila kita tolak bagi social services kita ada $835 million dan kita tolak lagi pula education $405 million dan sa- tinggal bagi bagai-nya maka yang economic services yang sa-benar-nya ia-lah sa-mata2 $2,775 million.
Dari pada $2,775 million ini untok agricul ini-lah yang di-katakan ture; dan begun kita agriculture to be diverted" daripada tadi.

Tetapi, Tuan $1,000,000,000 Yang dalam $1,000,000,000 ini yang kita hutang— hendak membuat polisi2 untok ta- naman kita atau agriculture, maka tinggal berapa-lah lagi yang sa-benar- nya daripada "economic services" dan bahagian2 saperti yang di-katakan dan fishery, radio2; dan saya ini tidak langsong boleh di-buat dengan "balance" yang ada sadikit.
Jadi tidak ada yang sa-benar-nya untok orang2 di-luar bandar sa-barang nikmat de ngan chara kalau kita mengadakan "break down" di-dalam public sector expenditure ini.

ingat perkara perhubongan, kalau-lah jalan2 sa-benar-nya Timbalan Tuan Yang di-Pertua, jadi gambaran kita mengaku yang dan Perdana Menteri sendiri mengaku bahawa negeri kita ini ia-lah negeri "undeveloped" atau pun "developing country" negeri yang baharu sedang maju.
Kita tahu ba hawa sa-sabuah negara yang di-dalam keadaan maju kapada pembangunan ada beberapa sifat yang utama yang kita tidak boleh lupakan.

Ia-itu yang pertama-nya, pendudok2 negara itu bergantong kapada agriculture atau pun "climatic product" lebeh banyak daripada bergantong kapada sumber2 yang lain.

Yang, kedua, bertambah-nya pendudok2 daripada satu masa ka- satu masa dan "per capita income"- nya terlalu rendah.
Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, sama ada kita dapat per- chaya atau pun tidak kapada plan ini dapat-lah kita bandingkan dengan "economic problem" di-dalam muka surat yang pertama, economic problem dengan objective of the First Malaysia Plan.
Jadi kalau kita bandingkan masa- alah2 economic dengan tujuan2 daripada 5847 15 DECEMBER 1965 5848 plan ini kemudian kita tengok apa yang Kerajaan hendak buat "the long term prospect", muka 14, kita dapati, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, masaalah2 atau problem itu sangat banyak, tetapi tu- juan2 objective plan ini terlalu general, terlalu luas merupakan kata2 imagina tive sa-mata2.
Ini di-buktikan oleh "long term prospect"-nya sebab dalam long term prospect ini ada enam per- ia-itu kara yang kita hendak buat; yang pertama meninggikan per capita income; yang kedua, full employment; yang, ketiga income distribution; yang keempat social and community services; infra-structure yang kelima economic dan yang keenam population and family planning.
Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kalau masaalah2 itu bagitu dudok-nya dan tujuan daripada plan ini pula bagitu dudok-nya sa-bagai mana dalam muka 2, dan kerja2 yang hendak di-buat itu ia-lah saperti mana muka yang 14 ini, maka peruntokan bagi "public sector" langsong2 tidak itu tidak sound, itu, Tuan Yang di- matang.

Sebab Pertua, kita dapati tidak ada, bagi saya tidak ada harapan kalau saya hendak ulaskan prospect yang pertama ia-itu "per capita income".
Kita harap- kan pada tahun 1985 sa-kurang2-nya kita akan dapat $1,500 bagi sa-orang.

Tetapi masaalah yang besar-nya, Tuan bukan masaalah Yang in hendak meninggikan per capita come—itu boleh berlaku di-dalam negeri capitalistic yang tebal.

Tetapi masaalah-nya yang akan berlaku yang di-hadapi oleh Kerajaan ia-lah "uneven ia-itu pembahagian per distribution" tiap2 sa-orang capita income kapada itu tidak betul.
Dan ini di-aku'i oleh pehak Kerajaan, tetapi ini tidak pula tersebut di-dalam prospect yang hen dak di-buat-nya.

Yang ada-nya ia-lah hendak meninggikan lagi per capita income, tetapi langkah2 untok hendak membetulkan tidak-lah tegas dan tidak menjaminkan.

distribution di-Pertua, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kemudian baharu2 ini saya dapati dalam sa-buah surat khabar, Timbalan Perdana Men- teri kita mengatakan pula "per capita sa-bulan dekat2 income $300 pada dengan reality".
Jadi yang $300 pet- capita income itu dekat2 dengan real ity.

Tambah-lah $972, lagi jauh pula daripada reality-nya.

Jadi ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kapada gambaran- nya amat mengelirukan ra'ayat lebeh banyak daripada apa yang di-takutkan oleh sahabat saya tadi dalam uchapan saya yang di-katakan hendak men gelirukan orang, pada hal negara dan Kerajaan-nya sendiri tidak rasa bahawa uchapan yang sa-macham Timbalan Perdana Menteri ini dapat mengeliru kan ra'ayat.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, yang kedua ia- lah berkenaan dengan memberi kerja atau pun hendak menchegah pe- nganggoran atau pun hendak memberi full employment.

Saya tidak dapat satu apa pun jaminan atau pun security kapada pehak kaum buroh.

Apa yang ada ia-lah beberapa peratoran yang di- buat untok mengatasi satu2 masaalah yang berlaku pada masa itu.

Tetapi- nya bukan hendak "prevent" bukan hendak "cure" satu2 perkara yang ber laku itu.

Yang kita mahu' ia-lah "to pre vent unemployment", bukan "to cure".
Jadi ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ia-lah satu langkah untok melepaskan batok di-tangga sa-mata2, tidak merupakan satu programme yang sa-benar.

Jadi dalam perkara ini, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, saya tidak dapat perkara2 yang saya kehendaki dan saya harap-lah Menteri Buroh supaya dapat menjawab dalam perkara ini.
Ia-itu full employ ment ini tidak akan berlaku walau pun pada tahun 1985 sa-kali pun, kalau Kerajaan tidak dapat membuat satu jabatan apa yang di-namakan pertu- ia-itu employment ex karan buroh ini pejabat changes.

Ada sekarang pendaftaran buroh2, tetapi dia tidak merupakan exchange yang sa-benar, dia merupakan mendaftarkan beberapa orang penganggor yang tidak ada kerja.
jenis2 atau pun skilled dan Tetapi skilled-nya buroh2 tidak tidak terator dan mempunyai daftar yang tidak dapat di-tukar daripada satu majikan kapada satu majikan.

Dan tidak pernah berlaku majikan ini me- minta kapada majikan itu buroh2 yang tidak pernah ber- tidak ada kerja; dengar.
laku—saya di-Pertua, Kemudian, Tuan Yang bagaimana-lah Kerajaan hendak men- jamin yang Kerajaan boleh memberi pernah tidak itu 5849 15 DECEMBER 1965 5850 full employment kapada ra'ayat kita yang condition atau pun peluang2 be kerja itu tidak di-jadikan, tidak di adakan, tidak di-creatkan.

Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, menjaminkan kerja2 berpuloh2 ribu jenis kerja yang belum ada akan menyebabkan ra'ayat lebeh kechewa apabila kita tidak dapat memberi kerja2 yang sa macham itu.
lagi; ini itu terpaksa kena ia-lah unemployment Tidak ada, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, di dalam full hendak menjalankan tidak ada jaminan2 employment ini atau pun security yang berlaku di kalangan buroh.

Mithal-nya, yang saya dapat tahu dalam negara kita ini ada lima jenis unemployment, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, yang amat merbahaya.

Yang pertama jenis "casual" ia-itu yang berlaku daripada satu masa ka-satu masa oleh keadaan2.
Yang kedua unemployment yang ber seasonal-musim2-daripada chorak musim menanam padi sampai musim menanam padi kali yang lain pula.

Buroh2 kita itu menunggu peluang, tidak ada peluang hendak bekerja.

Dan tunggu mereka musim yang lain dan ini tidak pernah di-buat jaminan oleh Menteri Buroh kita.

Yang ada ia-lah untok hendak menjaga factory 2 yang kechil2 di-dalam ini-itu yang ada.

Tetapi bandar jaminan yang sa-macham saya mahu ini tidak ada.
Kemudian daripada itu pula "Technological unemployment" banyak-lah orang2 yang mempunyai pengalaman technology tidak tahu ka mana hendak pergi.

Dan juga satu2 unemployment menyebabkan yang boleh di-ubati tetapi oleh kerana tidak ada undang2 atau tidak ada per atoran, maka mereka itu terbiar bagitu sahaja.

Dan lagi satu ia-lah "fractional unemployment" ia-itu berhenti kerja di-satu tempat tidak tahu hendak chari kerja di-tempat yang lain.
Pada hal di tempat lain itu ada peluang, chuma oleh kerana tiada ada peratoran2 ini maka buroh2 kita akan menjadi mangsa.

Sa-lagi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, security2 atau pun jaminan2 yang saya sebut tadi atau pun yang saya tidak sebut, tetapi ada, tidak di-jalankan saya perchaya mengubati employment ini tidak akan berlaku dalam negara kita.

Dan apa yang bertulis di-dalam ini buku ini hanya-lah tulisan2 da'awat di-atas persada sa-mata2.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, apabila kita datang kapada income distribution sa bagaimana yang telah saya katakan tadi, kalau kita hendak jadikan benda ini realistic, terpaksa-lah kita merapat kan kedua2 hujong-nya.

Ia-itu hujong yang paling rendah sa-kali minimum nya dengan hujong yang paling tinggi sa-kali maximum-nya.

Maximum kita apabila kita buat average kita dapati $970 atau pun yang kita harap ia-lah $1.400 atau pun $1,500-itu average nya tetapi maximum-nya kita tidak tahu, minimum-nya kita tidak tahu.
Dan saya percahya Menteri2 yang ada di-dalam Rumah yang mulia ini pada hari ini mengaku bahawa mini mum pada average-nya kita boleh da pati kurang daripada $50 sa-bulan bagi satu keluarga.

J adi ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, bagaimana-lah kita hendak distribute dengan 'adil-nya kalau sa-mata2 kita mengaku kapada ketinggian per capita income, pada hal pembahagian yang sa-benar-nya tidak di-usahakan dengan chara yang ber kesan.
Saya mengaku Kerajaan akan berusaha, tetapi jaminan Kerajaan itu tidak dapat di-pegang melainkan kalau ada "ways and means" yang sa-benar nya yang boleh membawa kapada sa berlaku-nya distribution macham ini juga tidak akan berlaku, Tuan Yang di-Pertua.
Ra'ayat akan menangis apa bila mendengar bahawa negara kita ini boleh menjamin, pada tahun 1967, sa-kurang2-nya $1,400 sa-bulan, sedangkan pada tahun 1967 mereka itu akan dapat $50, $60 sa-bulan; mereka akan menangis; mereka akan tudoh bahawa kekayaan akan di bolot oleh Kerajaan atau pun oleh satu2 sector yang tertentu.

lni amat lah merbahaya.


Dan jika sa-kira-nya "silent revolution" berlaku di-dalam pembangunan, sa-bagaimana yang di· katakan oleh Timbalan Perdana Men teri kita tadi, saya perchaya benda itu baik; maka saya takut ada pula revolution" berlaku, "counter-silent terhadap kemajuan ekonomi kita.

yang janji2 itu.
yang janji2 itu.

Jika tidak, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, berkenaan dengan social community services, per belanjaan yang di-bawa di-dalam ini 5851 15 DECEMBER 1965 5852 ia-lah berkenaan dengan kita katakan health, perubatan, bagitu bagini.

Saya mengaku-lah bagaimana Yang Berhor mat Menteri Kesihatan kita selalu ber kata, bahawa benda ini, oleh kerana orang2 ini orang teknik dan orang yang akedemik yang sa-benar-nya maka tidak dapat-lah kita menchari dengan serta-merta sa-bagaimana kita men chari buroh kasar.
Saya mengaku hal itu.

Tetapi, sa-bagai chontoh, di kawasan saya 56,000 orang pendudok, tidak ada sa-orang pun doktor.

Dan hospital assistant-nya sa-orang sahaja.

Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua ini saya tidak-lah hendak menekan Menteri kita tetapi saya minta dia ingat dalam per kara ini.

Sebab, kalau benda ini tidak di-ingat, maka doktor2 falsu (quack doctor) akan maju.

Dan pengubatan yang di-beri oleh Doktor2 Pa' Belalang ini amat merbahaya.
Tetapi dari segi ekonomik service-nya, itu di-kira eko nomik juga-di-kira productive juga.

Sebab service Doktor Pa' Belalang ini di-hajati dan di-bayar, merupakan scarcity kapada ra'ayat.

Jadi, khid mat yang tidak baik itu terpaksa kita akui dalam negara kita ini, sa-bagai satu hajat yang perlu di-bayar dalam segi ekonomi.

Jadi, erti-nya, terpaksa Menteri kita itu mengaku Doktor2 Pa' Belalang itu mengambil satu role atau pun peranan yang penting dalam Ke menterian Kesihatan.
Enche' Ahmad bin Arshad: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, masaalah Doktor Pa' Belalang ini, sa-tahu saya tidak ada Doktor Pa' Belalang dalam negeri ini.

Chuma nujum Pa' Belalang sahaja yang ada.

Enche' Abu Bakar bin Hamzah: Doktor Pa' Belalang itu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, yang saya maksudkan ia-lah doktor2 yang tidak bertauliah.

Erti-nya, dia tahu sadikit2, kemudian dia ber lagak sa-bagai doktor yang bertauliah.
juga nujum kita yang di Bagitu katakan Pa' Belalang itu, sebab dia lompat lebeh kuat daripada dia dudok itu di-katakan Pa' Belalang.

sebab Dan Nujum2 Pa' Belalang ini pandai lah meneka berkenaan dengan hantu2 toyol.

Ka-semua ini merosakkan ma sharakat kita dari segi ekonomi.

Jadi, Infra-stlructure.


Tuan Yang di-Pertua, apabila kita datang kapada Ekonomik infra structure, saya, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, di-dalam buku ini bila sampai sahaja ekonomik infra-structure, di-gambar kan satu kemajuan akan berlaku, ia itu dari segi transport, communication, bagitu, bagini.

Tetapi di-tujukan ka pada 20 tahun kemudian.

Yang untok lima tahun-First Five-Year Plan ini, yang lima tahun yang pertama ini tidak di-gambarkan.
Jadi, tidak dapat lah kita hendak merasa ni'mat kema juan itu, kerana ni'mat kemajuan sa sabuah negara itu bergantong kapada banyak-nya belanja di-dalam Public Sector Expenditure untok Treasury untok saya tidak tahu berapa puloh million yang hendak di-gunakan dan untok next 20 years itu.

Untok lima tahun yang per tama ini, apa yang hendak di-buat, saya tidak tahu lagi.

Yang saya tahu ia-lah Kerajaan kita boleh-lah mem beri jalan sadikit sa-banyak, electri city ka-kampong2.
Tetapi dengan me lupakan pendapatan harian orang di kampong yang mana a;prabila dia dapat kemudahan2 ini, dia terpaksa membayar di-atas ni'mat itu, sedang kan income dia sa-macham lama juga.

Niat Kerajaan hendak menolong orang itu supaya senang.

Dan oleh kerana di-beri kapada orang itu dengan harga yang murah, pada hal orang itu tidak ada wang, maka pemberian itu akan memberatkan-nya lagi.
Dari segi eko nomi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, masaalah barang murah atau pun mahal, bukan tetapi ia-lah lah tentang harga-nya; tentang hajat orang itu "relative" bukan-lah harga barang itu sendiri.

Kalau bagi kita yang tidak tahu main guitar, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, guitar yang $100 itu, $20 saya tidak beli.

Saya hendak tanggong terok sahaja, hendak buat apa?

Kerja yang sa macham itu membunoh ra'ayat.


Betul lah bagi orang yang tahu harga, guitar itu mahal Bagitu juga kalau jual ka sut2 Barret murah kapada ra'ayat di kampong.

Yang kita beli $25 kita jual kapada dia $8.

Apa dia hendak buat dengan kasut itu?

Dari segi pasar, betul-lah "price at market", ini chukup murah, kita kata boleh gunakan benda ini.

Sebab dia itu sudah murah-$25 turun $8.


Tetapi, what does it mean - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5853 15 DECEMBER 1965 5854 di-Pertua, to the kampong people?

Apa guna-nya dalam perkara itu?

Jadi, ini, Tuan harap Yang berchermat-lah Kerajaan di- infrastructure ini, dalam menjalankan supaya niat baik-nya ter- kandas.

itu tidak saya kita Saya sekarang tidak mengatakan Kerajaan kita ini melupakan ra'ayat.
Tetapi saya kata masaalah niat ini tidak berlaku, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, melainkan de ngan, action.

Saya boleh mengaku di- hadapan Tuan pada hari ini saya hendak membunoh Menteri Transport kita.

Tetapi tidak ada action yang saya tidak boleh buat— lakukan.

Maka manusia tidak pernah di-hukum kerana sa-mata2, Tuan Yang di- niat-nya Pertua.

Kalau bagitu, saya niat hendak ini semua, tiap2 menjatohkan orang hari saya kena hukum.
Jadi, Kerajaan kita ini menggambarkan hasrat-nya—hasrat kami, niat kami, "if"—kalau kita punya ini dapat, kalau sini dapat jadi bagini, kalau kita dapat bagini jadi bagini.

Ke-semua-nya di- dasarkan sa- mata2—di-atas kalau!

Orang Arab berkata, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, masa alah "kalau" ini: (Bahasa Arab).

Kata- nya: Tanam pokok—"jikalau".

Ke- mudian itu hendak-lah di- satu lembah, moga".

Kemudian di- siram pula dengan ayer, "mudahan2".

Akhir-nya tidak ada apa yang timbul, ini-lah, Tuan Yang di-Pertua.
Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, Kerajaan kita hendak membuat, yang saya nampak.

Yang saya tidak nampak itu memang ternampak oleh Kerajaan.

presumption tanaman di-atas Enche' Abdul Razak bin Haji Hussin: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ayat yang di-bacha oleh Yang Berhormat itu, betul atau tidak?

(Ketawa).

Enche' Abu Bakar bin Hamzah: Tuan Yang di Pertua, ayat ini ada dua.

Satu, ayat Quran.

Yang saya sebutkan ini pepatah bahasa Arab.


Dan kalau saya hendak kata betul tidak betul pun, Ahli Yang Berhormat itu tidak ada nuracha menghukum-nya (Ketawa), hendak Enche' Abdul Razak bin Haji Hussin: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, pada satu ketika Yang Berhormat ini mem buat satu ayat dalam Dewan ini.

Kebetulan-nya dia tertinggal satu ayat di-tengah2 antara ayat yang banyak itu.

Jadi, penterjemah kita terpaksa ber- jumpa Ahli Yang Berhomat.

Ada-kah betul ayat yang tuan bacha ini?


Biia saya bandingkan dengan Al-Quran yang jadi perbandingan ini, satu dari- pada patah itu tertinggal.

Kemudian- nya Yang Berhormat ini telah betul- kan sa-mula.

Ini-lah, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, saya bertanya ada-kah benda itu betul pada hemat Tuan?

Enche' Abu Bakar bin Hamzah: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ia-itu saya me ngaku adai satu silap pada hari itu dan sebab itu saya minta kapada Tuan Yang di-Pertua hari itu mengadakan kerani bahasa Arab.
Perkara itu saya mengaku, tetapi ayat ini betul, Yang Berhormat itu tidak usah-lah bimbang dalam perkara ini.

Yang betul saya mengaku, Tuan Yang di-Pertua.

Sekarang saya pergi kapada yang ke-enam ia-itu "Population and Family Planning".
Family planning ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya tidak hendak berchakap dari segi hukum-nya tetapi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, amat-lah silap bagi manusia berfikir bahawa oleh kerana dia tidak dapat meninggikan ''per capita income" bagi masharakat- nya maka dia hendak membunoh manusia yang belum ada lagi.
Jadi ia- kejam-nya manusia dalam dunia lah membunoh orang yang bergadoh dengan dia yang lebeh kejam-nya ia- lah membunoh manusia yang tidak bergadoh dengan dia, yang lebeh kejam ia-lah dia membunoh budak2 lagi kechil, tetapi kekejaman yang akan di- buat oleh Kerajaan Perikatan ini mem bunoh manusia yang belum ada lagi.

Jadi ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, satu kekejaman yang tidak pernah berlaku dalam dunia.
Kalau dengan alasan sa-mata2 takut tidak berjaya hendak meninggikan "per capita income" ka pada $1,500 dan Tuhan pun ada ber (Bahasa Arab) kata dalam Quran: "Kamu jangan, membunoh anak2 kamu atau bakal2 anak kamu itu kerana sa-mata2 takut kepapaan 'per capita income' tidak sampai".
Tuhan berkata (Bahasa Arab) "Kami memberi rezeki kapada kamu dan kapada mereka itu, 5855 15 DECEMBER 1965 5856 jalan rezeki dengan ia-itu memberi 'diversification policy' membanyakkan dalam agriculture dan bukan dengan mengurangkan anak."

Jadi tidak ada langsong, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, unsor2 keimanan dan ketuhanan.
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health (Enche' Ibrahim bin Abdul Rahman): Tuan Yang di-Pertua, dalam masaalah Family Planning atau Peranchang Keluarga, saya telah beri- tahu pada tempoh hari bukan untok menjarangkan anak—kita tidak mahu anak, orang yang mandol hendak mem banyakkan anak pun boleh, orang yang mandol tidak ada anak—macham saya telah bagi keterangan tempoh hari, bukan untok menjarangkan anak sa- mata2, tetapi mengadakan anak sama.
itu income bilangan "economic income"—as development" Enche' Abu Bakar bin Hamzah: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, untok men- banyakkan anak tidak buat planning pun saya rasa boleh (Ketawa).

Tetapi sa-jauh mana yang kita kena-mengena far dengan "per capita as we are concerned with the "per income" erti-nya kita hendak capita mengurangkan population kalau sa-kira-nya kita hendak mem- biarkan population itu banyak tentu- lah kita tidak takut dan tidak was2 target per capita tidak boleh datang.
Jadi jawapan itu dari segi health dan hygiene yang dia me- ngaji tetapi yang kita berchakap ini dari dan segi bagaimana pun maksud pun yang kita hendak mengadakan " family planning" ini ia-lah kerana kita takut per capita income itu tidak sampai atau pun sa- kurang2-nya pemberian kita kapada ra'ayat akan kurang dengan per- tumbohan yang lebeh banyak itu.

Jadi Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kalau-lah kita hendak menjalankan "family planning" ini saya rasa akan menjadi perkara yang lain daripada yang kita berhajat.
Ia-itu masaalah "family plan ning" ini pada pendapat saya akan maju di-kalangan bandar, tidak maju orang di-dalam kampong jika hendak mencheritakan dia tidak dapat anak atau pun dia banyak anak, orang kampong malu tetapi dalam pekan orang boleh che- rita benda2 itu semua dia rasa perkara biasa sahaja dalam perkara itu.

kampong2 kerana juga ini "planning" Jadi maju-nya "planning" ini ia-lah di-kalangan pendudok2 dalam bandar, pendudok2 dalam bandar "per capita income-nya" tinggi.
Jadi orang2 yang tinggi "per capita income-nya" dapat menyusun keluarga dengan terator.

Maka keadaan mereka samakan se- nang lagi.

Orang kampong tidak akan menerima dengan mudah kalau orang bandar menerima dalam satu tahun, dia mesti empat tahun erti-nya perbedaan di-antara "per capita income" di-dalam bandar dengan di-luar bandar itu maseh ber- jalan terus kalau di-kampong itu me nerima maka yang di-sini makin ter- lawan susun lagi.

Jadi macham kita lari 5 batu, di-sana jadi 105 batu.
Sampai bila pun tidak boleh kita hendak sampai bersama dengan dia sebab kedudokan watak hendak me tidak nerima "family planning" sama di-antara orang2 kampong dengan orang2 bandar.

itu yang negara sa-bagai negara tidak maju kita Tuan Yang di-Pertua, untok me- ngakhiri uchapan saya ini saya minta- supaya me- lah pehak Kerajaan langkah2 nerangkan bahawa apa-kah yang belum bertulis di-dalam buku ini yang akan di-jalankan oleh Kerajaan untok mengubahkan chorak negara "undeveloped" kita "developed".
kapada Negara yang tahu bergantong kapada agriculture 50% income-nya kemudian kapada industry, sa-tinggi2-nya kita perusahaan pula bergantong 25%; dan dari segi ke- mudahan2 yang lain—utilities—atau pun infra-structure atau pun fishery yang kita bergantong 15% sa-mata2; ini yang berlaku dalam negara kita.
Kalau bagitu kita hendak ubahkan negara kita ini kapada "developed" yang mesti-nya, kalau mengikut saya, ia-lah pada agriculture kita hendak bergantong tidak lebeh daripada 35% dan kapada industry 30% dan kemuda- han 35%.

Mengikut plan yang ada sekarang sampai kapada tidak target itu terutama kerana kita mem beri peruntokan tidak di-jalankan oleh "public sector" tetapi tinggalkan-nya kapada private kita sector.
Jadi permodalan itu tidak dapat menjamin kerana dia akan terpengaroh dengan hubongan2 luar industry yang sendiri ini 5857 15 DECEMBER 1965 5858 sa-macham negeri ter- lebeh banyak daripada pengaroh dengan keadaan2 di-dalam negeri.
Oleh itu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya amat-lah dukachita dengan plan yang di-buat ini yang "preamble-nya" atau pun pendahuluan- harapan nya optimistik tetapi apabila kita bacha isi- nya, bukan sahaja saya tetapi Menteri2 kita pun sayu muka-nya, merasa pesi- miotik belaka di-atas perkara2 yang hendak di-jalankan kelak.
terlalu-lah memberi dengan Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ini sendiri-nya membayangkan bahawa plan yang ini belum dapat di-terima oleh ra'ayat dan oleh Rumah ini kechuali-lah kalau Kerajaan boleh menunjokkan perkara yang belum di-sebutkan di-dalam buku ini.

sa-macham tersadikit "Education" Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya hendak pergi sadikit lagi berkenaan dengan "Education".
Saya tidak malu2, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, menyatakan saya "condemn" plan ini kerana peruntokan dari bagi pada peruntokan yang di-buat kapada "Defence".

Kita tahu "defence" yang ada kena-mengena dari segi ekonomi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya tidak ber- chakap dari segi politik dan dari segi konfrantasi.
Saya hendak membahath- kan segi "ekonomik development", saya minta-lah Ahli2 Yang Berhormat daripada pehak sana jangan mengata- kan saya lupa kapada confrontation ia-itu Tuan Yang di-Pertua, betul ini termasok-lah di- "public sector" dalam di- belanjakan oleh Kerajaan yang akhir- perbelanjaan nya akan merupakan hang,us.
Tetapi "education" tidak sama dengan "defence" walau pun di- belanja oleh Kerajaan sebab "defence" ini merupakan betul2 "unproductive project" sedang "education" walau kita membelanjakan dan, orang2 itu ber- tambah pandai dan dia dapat memberi "services" kapada negara kita, maka dari segi ekonomi walau pun dia tidak memberi wang kapada kita membayar balek peluang2 yang dia mengaji itu, tetapi dengan perkhidmatan yang di- beri maka itu- juga satu keuntongan ekonomi kapada negeri kita.
Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, mengadakan satu peruntokan di-bawah ekonomic bahagian2 yang akan dan social development, membesarkan satu project yang "unproductive" ber- banding dengan project yang "produc tive" maka itu tentu-lah tidak lojik— tidak lojik sebab tidak akan datang keuntongan economic itu.

Jadi, di- mana-kah dudok-nya "soundness" atau pun kematangan plan ini?
yang sa-macham Dan ini ada-lah satu perkara yang saya perchaya Ahli2 daripada pehak sana sendiri pun akan termenong pan- jang dan memikir di-atas hakikat yang berlaku ini.
Kemudian daripada itu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, "education" yang kita hen dak beri ini dapat-lah kita katakan ini mempunyai satu polisi sekarang baharu atau pun sistem baharu— comprehensive—Sekolah Anika Juru- san yang kita harap orang2 ini apabila keluar besok dapat di-beri kerja kerana itu mempunyai kelayakan2 mereka atau pun bakat kelayakan.

lagi Tetapi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, di- dalam kita menyediakan peluang ini kita maseh tidak berani me- ngemukakan "heavy industries".
Pada hal tiap2 tahun, mulai tahun hadapan kalau tidak salah saya, budak2 yang tidak terbit daripada sekolah akan tiap2 kurang daripada 100,000 pada tahun.

Jadi di-mana-kah budak2 ini hendak pergi—di-mana budak2 ini hendak dapat opportunity atau pun pe luang employment—di-mana?
Tidak ada jalan melainkan kalau kita mem- buat heavy industries, Tetapi tidak ada heavy industries di-sini malah saya ada satu buku, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, pagi tadi saya tengok ia itu, Studies in the Rural Economy of South East Asia, kata-nya dalam muka 4 kita ada in dustry tetapi ini bukan daripada negara kita sendiri ia-itu ia-lah dari negara2 luar yang memberi pengaroh, kata-nya, "In fact towns as centres of commerce and industry are almost entirely ex ogenous in the rank and have been grown up in response mainly to foreign dengan influence"—ini Tanah Melayu dan di-karang oleh E.K.
Fisk yang keluar di-London, dan saya perchaya sa-suatu yang lulus dari London itu merupakan wahi kapada tidak Kerajaan Perikatan—dan dia dapat menolak wahi-nya, kalau dia berkenaan 5859 15 DECEMBER 1965 5860 menolak berarti dia kufur dengan tempat wahi-nya (Ketawa).
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, oleh itu saya bimbang sangat, perkembangan popu lation kita, terutama budak2 sekolah yanghendak keluar 100,000 pada tiap2 tahun dengan tidak kita menyediakan peluang2 melalui heavy industry, maka budak2 ini akan menjadi penganggor2 dan apabila menjadi panganggor2 akan bertambah-lah lagi susah-nya Parlimen ini hendak bertanggong jawab di-atas penganggoran itu dan ke-susahan itu bukan sahaja di-tanggong oleh Kera jaan tetapi juga di-tanggong oleh pehak yang sa-belah sini ia-itu Opposition.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ada satu jalan yang saya hendak shorkan kapada Kerajaan kita untok mengatasi perkara ini dan ahli daripada Kulim-kah, Baling-kah tadi saya sudah lupa, men- ini men- yuarakan supaya Kerajaan jalankan beberapa peratoran untok mengambil buroh2, kata-nya patut-lah kilang2 atau pun gedong2 itu men gambil buroh2 daripada bumiputera.
kita yang timbulkan Tuan Yang di-Pertua, perkara ini saya tidak hairan sebab PAS sudah membawa usul dalam Dewan ini, te tapi bila kita berchakap berkenaan dengan national project tidak-lah kita timbulkan perkara2 kechil atau pun sector2 yang kechil, kaum2 yang kechil; apa ia-lah problem the very problem itu sendiri, masaalah itu sendiri, bukan orang yang sa-bahagian kechil yang terlibat dalam masaalah itu, tetapi masaalah itu sen diri yang kita timbulkan.
Kalau bagitu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, apabila usaha2 ini kurang di- diversification policy dalam agriculture dan tidak ada pula heavy industry, maka mesti-lah kita menchari jalan lain dan jalan lain ini- lah saya mengshorkan bahawa kita mengadakan satu langkah—regimenta- tion--ia-itu membuat regiment betul tanah2 sesuai dengan bagi membuka apa yang perhah saya sebutkan meng adakan Development Brigade bagitu dan bagini.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, boleh jadi saya di-tudoh bahawa saya menarek Kera jaan atau pun memaksa Kerajaan atau pun hendak memborak kapada Kera jaan supaya Negara kita ini memakai lagi Planned Economy tidak mahu memakai Free Economy atau pun kita hendak pakai Guided Economy supaya kita segala hendak mengarahkan enterpreneur dan segala majikan2 kita membuat sa-bagaimana yang kita ke- hendaki dan hendak nationalisekan harta2 orang2 itu dan segala projek pembangunan mesti-lah merupakan hak Kerajaan.
supaya kita Tetapi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, tidak ada ubat kapada negara yang develop ing atau pun yang undeveloped yang sa- macham ini melainkan Kerajaan berani lagi membelanjakan di-dalam public sector-nya lebeh banyak dan saya— kalau saya hendak di-tudoh terlampau extremist atau pun terlampau sangat hendak menyerahkan kuasa kapada Kerajaan—saya menerima tudohan itu dan saya menyeru Kerajaan, di-dalam yang development Estimate kalau sudah berchetak maka tidak sempat di-ubah barangkali hadapan saya minta Kerajaan menunjokkan bahawa public sector yang akan di lebeh belanjakan oleh Kerajaan banyak lagi daripada private sector kalau sa-kira-nya masaalah2 ini tidak dapat di-jalankan.
tahun itu tanggong jawab Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya tahu bahawa Kerajaan hendak melarikan diri daripada ia-itu hendak menyerahkan kemajuan eko- nomi dan kemajuan negara kita ini dari segi pembangunan-nya kapada private sector, tetapi kita tahu di-dalam negeri kita ini faham kapitalistik terlalu tebal dan kalau kita serahkan kapada private sector saya rasa perjalanan negara kita ini yang sa-benar-nya ia- lah oleh gulongan2 enterpreneur itu, bukan oleh pelan yang di-buat oleh Kerajaan kita.
Sebab itu, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya amat-lah dukachita dengan peruntokan2 yang di-beri di- terutama apa bawah public sector bila kita bahagikan kapada economi dan social development, kita banding- kan pula dengan defence-nya dan kita bandingkan dengan Internal Security- nya dan baki yang kechil bagi Econo mic Services dan bagi Agriculture itu amat-lah menipiskan harapan kita.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, masaalah jadi orang bertanya defence, boleh kalau tidak mahu melipat gandakan 5861 15 DECEMBER 1965 5862 itu saya sebab "no!"

pertahanan kita apa-kah bagi pehak ahli yang berchakap itu dapat men- jamin bahawa confrontation atau pun konfrantasi tidak di-Indonesia membimbangkan kita?

Saya tentu-lah menjawab tahu negara kita ini kechil dan confronta itu nampak-nya sa-makin hari tion sa-makin kuat dan bermacham2 per- chubaan untok menghanchorkan ne gara kita ini.
Perundingan2 yang di- terselit puncha2 hendak dalam-nya ter- memechah belahkan kita sudah bayang tetapi alhamdullilah-lah Kera- jaan kita ia-itu yang di-pimpin oleh ketua2 ini sedar bahawa chara berun- ding dengan perasingan itu menjadi silap-nya bebet perpechahan dalam perkara ini perpechahan dengan Singapura itu kerana menurut per- lembagaan—di-lakukan sa-chara per- lembagaan, sa-waktu2 yang lain Per- dana Menteri mengatakan "I am not strong enough."
Jadi, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, seteru kita mengambil kesem- patan bahawa boleh di-lakukan per pechahan ini kalau tidak Kerajaan itu "not strong enough" boleh di-laku kan dengan berperlembagaan sebab itu-lah berkehendak- kan kita berunding berasing supaya sa- loran memechahkan Malaysia ini dapat di-lakukan dengan aman dan damai.

Saya menerima kaseh kapada Kera jaan di-atas chepat-nya sedar orang2 ini terhadap tipu helah yang akan di- lakukan oleh seteru2 kita.
tetapi orang itu lewat ini sudah Tetapi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, ke- sedaran ia-itu sa- telah kita mengorbankan beratus2 juta ringgit, sa-telah kita mengorbankan tenaga kita, jiwa kita, baharu-lah kita sedar dan dengan demikian, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kita hendak melawan sen- jata dengan senjata sebab itu-lah kita mengadakan sa-hingga $600,000,000 defence dan sa-banyak $140,000,000.
Defence, Tuan Yang di- Pertua, boleh kita bertolak ansor, tetapi yang memalukan kita ia-lah Internal Security yang sampai bagitu banyak million, ini menunjokkan bahawa Ke rajaan kita ini sedar yang di-dalam negeri kita ini tidak ada keselamatan ini satu sedang di-katakan Malaysa peruntokan ada Security Internal sahaja di-Pertua, negeri yang prosperous, aman, ma'amor, damai.
Damai macham mana, Tuan defence- Yang nya lebeh besar daripada perbelanjaan Education dan Internal Security-nya beratus2 mellarat sampai kapada million yang belum pernah berlaku dalam sejarah negara kita ini.

kalau Jadi ini-kah keamanan, ini-kah ketenteraman?

Membanyakkan per belanjaan untok Internal Security dan Defence menunjokkan negara kita ini aman dan damai "Buaya yang dudok menyelam di-dalam sungai pun turut ketawa" jangankan manusia yang te- ngok dia di-atas darat dalam perkara ini.
Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya meng- ulangkan lagi ia-itu berkenaan dengan defence ini, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, kita boleh menjalankan dengan chara poli- tik dan saya perchaya ketua2 kita ini tidak-lah bodoh sangat kalau dia ber unding dengan orang lain kita sudah tengok mereka itu telah pergi berunding dan balek, kalau dia tidak menang pun dia tidak terikat, erti-nya kalau kita lepaskan ayam dia tidak menang pun dia dapat menyelamatkan diri daripada mati, pun kita kira sudah pandai bagi negeri kita ini, jadi ke- banyakan pemimpin2 kita pergi keluar negeri membicharakan masaalah kon frantasi, kalau dia tidak menang pun dia tidak terjerat; itu pun kita sudah bershukor dalam perkara itu.
Jadi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya katakan kita boleh selesaikan masa alah politik, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, Indonesia sendiri sekarang ini mengaku bahawa konfrantasi-nya sudah berlain daripada dahulu, terhadap Malaysia ini kerana pechah-nya Singapura, erti- nya—agak-nya kalau Malaysia kita ini pechah maka konfrantasi-nya, itu boleh selesai atau pun dia suka bagi kita selesai supaya mudah dia hendak menelan.

Tetapi, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, walau bagaimana pun erti-nya pintu perundingan itu maseh ada.
Mr Speaker: Meshuarat ini di- tanggohkan hingga pukul 10.00 pagi besok.

House adjourned at 8.02 p.m.
