Analisis : Debat Minyak Anwar - Shabery

Debat semalam memperlihatkan siapa yang mempertahan kesusahan rakyat dan siapa pula yang pertahankan towkey-towkey kaya (baca: kroni). Sangatlah dangkal! Situasi global tidak boleh ditolak tapi dalam masa yang sama mesti mempertahankan rakyat. Ini adalah tanggungjawab kepada rakyat. Debat ini bukanlah untuk mencari siapa yang menang dan siapa yang kalah. Ia lebih menjuruskan kepada memberikan penjelasan kepada situasi kesempitan ekonomi yang berlaku sekarang.Daripada menjelaskan kepada rakyat langkah kerajaan menaikkan harga minyak adalah untuk membantu rakyat jangka panjang, wakil kerajaan nampaknya lebih berminat menyerang peribadi. Adakah ini kualiti yang dimiliki oleh menteri kabinet tika ini.? Jika ya, amatlah sedih sekali! Lihatlah berita stesen TV dan akbar-akbar tempatan hari ini termasuk juga artikel dibawah ini. Masih tidak mahu menerima realiti kedangkalan diri sendiri. Masih mahu menunjukkan dia hero. Cukup-cukuplah dengan politik kotor itu. Ambil pendekatan yang baik walaupun datang daripada pihak lawan demi untuk rakyat bukan untuk kroni.

Shabery: Democracy the winner
By Shannon Teoh

Shabery Cheek says democracy was the winner
PARLIAMENT, July 16 - Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek called last night's fuel price debate a victory for openness.

"I don't think there was a winner or loser as we both got our views across. Democracy was the real winner and I hope this begins a culture of debate and institutionalises it in our political landscape," he said.

He also said that he was satisfied with his own performance in last night's one-hour debate with PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim which was broadcast "live" over Astro Awani, TV9 and Bernama TV at 9pm with a delayed telecast over TV3 at 11pm.

"I got hundreds of SMSes, like I won an election. Some said I did very well, some were angry with me."

He also denied that he had made personal attacks on Anwar last night but was merely establishing Anwar's lack of credibility.

"We need to establish what were his prior policies to see if his ideas today have credibility. I was not making personal attacks such as critcising his clothes, his preferences, his face. But when he referred to my time at Semangat 46, now that was a personal attack." - TheMalaysianInsider

Tahukah anda sebanyak 44% daripada pendapatan negara adalah sumbangan Petronas? Tahukah anda belanjawan negara kini asyik defisit saban tahun. Bagaimanakah keadaannya jika ditakdirkan minyak kurniaan tuhan ini habis besok hari. Takkah keadaan negara akan berada dalam situasi sangat daif. Kecekapan pengurusan belanjawan negara haruslah ditingkatkan. Hasil tidak dijangka atau bakal habis seperti minyak haruslah disimpan dan dilaburkan untuk generasi masa depan. Jangan terjerat dalam kerakusan sendiri kerana keadaan ini sangat bahaya seperti kata Tan Sri Hassan Merican

Petronas chief: Addiction to finite resources dangerous
