而華語則是作者本身看法，與該報關無關
KUALA LUMPUR: Following are the highlights of 2011 Budget tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is also Finance Minister, at the Dewan Rakyat today:
* A mixed development project including affordable houses to be developed at a cost of RM10 billion in Sungai Buloh and is expected to be completed by 2025.
配合政府經濟轉型計劃中慾發展雙溪毛糯橡膠研究院3000多公頃的膠園。爲了實現居者有屋的目的，卻是值得鼓勵，而在Greater KL計劃下的捷運也囊括在服務範圍内，確實配合到居住與交通設施相容的好計劃，值得讚賞！發展計劃卻交由政府投資臂膀執行卻讓人懷疑有朋黨裙帶關係。應該將部分計劃交由私人界公開競投、策劃與執行，以提升計劃商業價值，間接提升民生水準與私人界競爭能力。最重要的是能保留特定面積的綠肺，提高生活素質。
* Another landmark project "Warisan Merdeka" which includes a 100-storey tower, the tallest in Malaysia, at a cost of RM5 billion to be completed by 2015
這計劃最令人詬病的。需不需要再花費50億進行政治正名工程呢？那麽快就要張顯政績？馬哈迪也不過是掌權後期才推行如此龐大的政績工程來正名。何況這“默迪卡遺跡”推測將在吉隆坡黃金地帶默迪卡廣場範圍推行。此計劃將會將默迪卡廣場--即Stadium Merdeka給重建。此遺跡將隨發展洪流而淹沒在歷史的海洋中。第二個Dataran Pahlawan，面目全非。值得醒思如此的工程相比于歷史文化，何者來得重要？雖然歷史已成過去，但是這地方是讓後代們永遠記得歷史的真相，各族如何團結爭取獨立與獨立的重要意義。50億作爲一筆基金來維修該Stadium與設置博物院其實已綽綽有餘。該基金甚至能作爲推廣各族文化，推動歷史還原與保存運動及提升各地博物院的經濟來源。這不是比所謂的1Malaysia計劃來的實際？相信此計劃將胎死腹中，死灰復燃的機會將在大選后，如果還是納先生~~
* Development of large-scale integrated Aquaculture Zones in Pitas, Sungai Telaga and Sungai Padas in Sabah as well as Batang Ai and Tanjung Manis in Sarawak with an allocation of RM252 million.
作爲鞏固東馬票房的糖果，2.52億確實值得。並且這也符合在當地發展的計劃。推行大型綜合農業發展區縂好過比一些不切實際的發展計劃或政績工程來的好。與州政府配合需要更details的策劃，將計劃的價值最大型化，否則只會淪爲傳聞中朋黨裙帶的袋子而不是人民的肚子。
* Allocation of RM135 million for basic infrastructure to encourage farmers participation in high value agriculture activities including swiftlet nests(燕窩).
推行價值1.35億的農業基建發展來鼓勵農民參與高價值農業活動。
* Extension of income tax deduction incentive for investors and income tax exemption for companies undertaking food production activities until 2015.
延長稅務回扣/減稅與投資者及免除所得稅于飲食生産業至2015。鼓勵外資投資與本地市場與發展飲食生産。這也是配合大馬要成爲全球清真食物生産地（Islamic Halal Food Production Hub）的努力之一。
* RM85 million to provide infrastructure facilities to facilitate construction of hotels and resorts in remote areas with the potential to attract tourists.
發展旅遊業的工程，8千5百萬提升基礎建設。馬來西亞確實有很多還未開發的旅遊景點，除了提供基礎建設其實還可為偏遠地方的旅遊景點提供更多獎掖。而旅遊民宿計劃則提供更多訓練及擴展參與單位能將該計劃達到經濟效益。所了解的民宿計劃大部分只限于馬來村莊，無法顯現馬來西亞真正的民風與習俗。旅遊部協助設置民宿網站來提升服務能或多或少提高知名度。
* RM50 million to construct several shaded walkways in the KLCC-Bukit Bintang vicinity.
旅遊業提升工程，無建議與看法。只是希望能配合到未來捷運計劃並且無需到時再花費重建，或不user friendly而遭旅客或金三角購物客嫌棄且棄置不用。
* Development of world's first integrated eco-nature resort at a cost of RM3 billion by Nexus Karambunai in Sabah to commence next year.謠傳中將興建新賭場的綜合生態旅遊景點，雖然已遭政府宣佈無賭場計劃涵括在内。希望這生態旅遊計劃確實能確保生態不遭受影響，並將破壞減至最低。沙巴的生態環境確實能吸引許多旅客，但是除此計劃外，還需一些景點來配合以加強沙巴的旅遊吸睛力。賭場能吸引的人潮似乎與想接觸大自然的旅客無法相連。
* Abolishing of import duty on 300 goods preferred by tourists and locals, at 5 to 30 per cent, to promote Malaysia as a shopping heaven in Asia.
剔出300項物品5-30%的進口稅務。還是爲了旅遊業。本地内需確實受惠，但是是否真正能受惠呢？通脹能否被壓制？各行各業，那一行最受惠？？？如果有投資股票，貿易與服務業值得買進。(BJretails, Aeon, Parkson)
* RM119 million for the development of local content creation, hosting local content and unlocking new channels for content.
推展本地藝術與攝影行業的努力。是否能讓該行業受惠呢？不奢望能達到韓國那種程度，那麽最低也要達到領囯的水準吧？希望只要是國產電影都能受惠。
* Exemption of sales tax on all types of mobile phones.
是否有這個需要呢？現在已人手一機或以上了！滲透率達107%左右！不如更多獎掖用於發展網絡資訊基設？？或者更低廉的網絡收費？？更令人讚賞的網絡服務素質？？
* RM850 million for infrastructure support to accelerate corridor and regional development.
8億5千萬發展各阿先生時代的政績工程。持續的推動確實能讓各州受惠而減低吉隆坡的超密度發展，也能達成個地經濟活動量化。減少流入吉隆坡至各地以提高吉隆坡的生活素質。
* RM411 million for research, development and commercialisation activity to be the platform for enhancing value-added activities across economic sectors.4.11億的經費來資助研究與發展及商業化產品。應該是獎掖。如何申請？哪一部門負責？
* Establishment of a Special Innovation Unit (UNIK) under the Prime Minister's Department with an allocation of RM71 million for next year to commercialise R&D findings by universities and research institutions.爲何那麽多部長卻總是要讓首相署部門那麽忙碌呢？可以下放至其他部門嗎？或者成立各部門聯合委員會來執行不行嗎？又是官僚問題作祟。
* RM200 million for the purchase of creative products such as high quality, locally-produced films, dramas and documentaries.
* Rate of service tax to be increased from five to six per cent. 服務稅由5%增至6%，應該會引起通脹吧？這是要提出消費稅(GST)的前奏。因爲消費稅開始將會是在4-5%的範圍，讓人覺得消費稅更適用且繳交的稅務更少。高招！
* Service tax to be imposed on paid television broadcasting services.
其實有綫電視的壟斷保護政策已過期，付費電視臺的競爭將開始明朗化。但是Astro老闆財大氣粗，誰與爭鋒是自尋短見！
* Strengthening the revenue collection system by increasing enforcement and audit as well as coverage on all parties that should be paying taxes.
除了提高收取稅務的能力，是否政府也該提出如何更善用所得到的稅金呢？每年的稽查報告都顯示政府部門財政有紕漏，改善這問題人民信服提高，自然稅務繳交也心甘情願。
* Restructuring and strengthening of education and training with the sum of RM29.3 billion allocated for Education Ministry, RM10.2 billion (Higher Education Ministry) and RM627 million (Human Resource Ministry).
* Establishment of Talent Corporation under the Prime Minister''s Office in early 2011 to develop an expert workforce database as well as collaborate closely with talent networks globally.又是首相署？人力資源部拿來擺美？疑人不用，用人不疑這道理難道不適用？會引起各方人士懷疑首相是否念權抑或是部長無能耐？所謂的人才，都被你趕出囯了，現在才努力，雖然不遲，但是是否需要檢討一系列的官僚作風呢？人民確實想回國服務，但是卻諸多阻擾，能成事嗎？

* Recognising the importance of Islamic education, the Government will provide assistance per capita for primary and secondary rakyat religious schools with an allocation of RM95 million.

* Special Financial Assistance amounting to RM500 to be provided to all civil servants from Grade 54 and below, including contract officers and retirees.
500令吉的特別財務津貼與54級以下公務員。體恤開學將至花費龐大的家長們。

* Increasing the rate for Funeral Arrangement Assistance to RM3,000.
* Allowing flexibility to self-determine fully-paid maternity leave not exceeding 90 days from the current 60 days subject to a total of 300 days of maternity leave throughout the tenure of service.
更人性化的政策！值得讚賞！但是，能否加強公務人員的服務態度？？
* Introduction of "Skim Rumah Pertamaku" which will provide a guarantee on down payment of 10 per cent for houses below RM220,000 for first-time house buyers.
* To assist estate workers to own low-cost houses through a scheme managed by BSN.
是否真的能幫助園丘勞工建築自身的廉價屋子呢？是否能符合他們生活及基本素質呢？

* Establishment of a "1Malaysia Smart Consumer" portal.
* Introduction of the Distribution of Essential Goods programme to standardise prices across areas.

* The launch of a Private Pension Fund in 2011.私人退休基金將于2011推行。是否能由私人界主導？那麽，雇員們的未來將更有保障。退休基金爲了爭取客戶必須提高更高的囘酬率于客戶，而投資在高風險組合投資，間接的提高了雇員們的風險。需要留意更新的進展與法令。
* The launch of Bumiputera Property Trust Foundation with the size of RM1 billion and syariah-compliant.協助土著達到居者有屋，但是會否成爲第二個高教貸學金？有借無還？會否規定購買產業最高價值限定？否則將會助長房地產泡沫化。

* Providing four buses for Mobile Clinic.
* Formulating a new development model for Orang Asli.
* JHEOA will be restructured and strengthened as Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli。
被忽視的群體，能否通過這次的行政機構改革而改善？
