Pengurusan Krisis Gaya Anwar Berahi(m)

Semalam bukan main lagi, berasap sidang Parlimen apabila Anwar
mengatakan betapa lemahnya kerajaan Malaysia mengurus situasi krisis
dan ketidaktentuan. Pada Anwar, Malaysia sudah failed big time dalam
mengurus krisis. Segala kenyataan New York Times, Xinhua dan segalanya
dibawa ke sidang parlimen.

Blog ini agak kecewa kerana kenyataan Anwar dan Rafizi ini tidak
disangkal oleh mana-mana backbenchers kononnya atas dasar boikot. Ini
bukan permainan budak sekolah. Patutnya backbenchers duduk di dalam
dan lawan Anwar secara berdepan.

Siapa punya strategi asyik nak boikot ini? Tan Sri Shahrir? YB Dr
Latiff? YB Anuar Musa?

Takkanlah bila Anwar seranah macam itu, kita masih nak senyap. Ada
ketika, Rafizi bangun dan mengatakan OBAMA sendiri merendahkan
penggunaan bomoh dalam mencari MH370 (sedangkan Rafizi yang kononnya
pandai itu patut tahu; semua itu adalah gambar photoshop).

Cuba kita tengok macamana Anwar sendiri nak urus krisis.

Kita cuba rujuk macamana Anwar urus krisis ekonomi 1997-1998. Dia
bukan urus krisis. Anwar outsource sepenuhnya masalah kepada IMF.
Anwar hanya pakai kaedah IMF. Ini lagi busuk punya kaki. Kata orang
tak pandai, sedangkan dia sendiri pakai kaedah orang luar.

Apa jadi pada 1997-1998:-

– Bank Negara valiantly upheld the value of the ringgit for about a
week before it finally was forced to float the ringgit on July 14. By
that time, the bank had already lost close to U.S.$1.5 billion in the
effort to prop up the ringgit. At its lowest point, the ringgit
depreciated against the dollar by almost 50 per cent, hitting a high
of RM 4.88 to the U.S. dollar on January 7, 1998. After a brief period
of stability during February and March, the exchange rate continued to
deteriorate with wide fluctua- tions in the following months.

– the collapse of the stock market. Between July and December 1997,
the composite index of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE CI) fell
by 44.9 per cent.

– The property bubble also subsequently burst

– massive capital outflows as confidence in the Malaysian economy
became increas- ingly shaky.

– the banking system began to experience increasing non- performing
loans (NPLs) which, according to Bank Negara data, rose from about a
modest 2.18 per cent in June 1997 to 4.08 per cent in December 1997,
and then to a high of 11.45 per cent in July 1998

– The contraction in GDP resulted in the retardation of employment
growth, and the rise of unemployment and retrenchment levels

Menteri Kewangan waktu itu masih lagi nak main game politik, kononnya
tidak ada sesuatu yang serius. Ini disimpulkan oleh pihak tertentu
sebagai:-

‘It has been argued that in the initial stages of the crisis, the
Malaysian government was in a state of shock and denial. Some
policymakers denied that there was even a crisis, while some went so
far as to acknowledge the existence of a problem, but even then
downplayed the seriousness of it’.

Apa strategi Anwar? Downplay. Situasi tak serius. Masih dalam keadaan
yang baik. Masih lagi nak bangga dengan gelaran beli Menteri Kewangan
Terbaik Dunia.

Siapa Anwar kalau tidak kerana Majis Tindakan Ekonomi Negara (MTEN),
sudah lama kita lingkup dan gulung tikar.

Hari ini Anwar nak ajar kita jaga krisis. Boleh jalan.

Mungkin waktu negara hampir jadi kedana, Anwar masih sibuk menutuh
bontot orang di Tivoli Villa.
