Some 300,000 Malaysians left their country last year???!!
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 — Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah today criticised Malaysians who have emigrated, saying it was “wrong” and insinuating that they were betraying the sacrifices of their forefathers.Husni, who is second finance minister, explained that “our forefathers” settled here because they believed that their children would have a future in Malaysia.
“You and me, our children, we build our lives here and we have our homes here. This is our homeland. I get very sad when I hear we have people migrating to foreign shores. To me, this is wrong.
“Our forefathers have come here, many years ago, bearing much hardship and deprivation. Why did they endure this? Because they believed that their future generations will reap the fruits of having to live on this blessed land,” he said in his speech when launching the Annual Real Estate Agent Convention 2010 at PWTC here.
He then went on to dismiss public complaints as mere “discomfort”.
“There is much here to strive for, there are many reasons to stay. Our fathers have given up so much and they went through so much. Surely, our complaints are merely discomfort compared to their sacrifices.
“Let us build our future in this homeland of ours and work hard together to make things better,” he said.
Husni stressed that the government has always ensured that Malaysians are able to own their own homes.
“It has always been the government’s policy to ensure that every Malaysian is able to own his or her own home. Home-ownership is one of the most fundamental and basic tenets of a market economy.
“We do not want to see the establishment of a landlord class nor do we wish to see the prices of homes being out of reach for the average Malaysian.
“We do not want houses to be the subject of reckless speculation and the rise of an inflationary asset bubble. Every Malaysian must have every opportunity to own a home as a basis of his domestic comfort and financial security,” he said.
Husni pointed that government policies have made Malaysia into the country with the largest number of middle-class homeowners in the region.
“All these years, we have seen home-ownership grow tremendously amongst all races.
“Malaysia, in fact, has the largest number of middle-class homeowners in Southeast Asia. This, you will not get if you are a citizen of any other Asean country,” he said.
Husni also emphasised that he is confident the country will be able to reach the targeted five per cent economic growth for 2010.
He added that the Najib administration has always been a “listening government.”....................
