Budget 2010 : Budget Untuk Rosmah Mansor?

Oleh : Anak Sungai Derhaka


Kali ini disamping pelepasan cukai beberapa barangan termasuk ‘Pewarna Rambut’ yang digunakan oleh Rosmah, Najib juga telah memperuntukkkan RM111 Juta kepada Rosmah..

Program Permata yang dipopularkan oleh Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, isteri kepada Perdana Menteri turut mendapat manfaat dari Bajet 2011.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yang juga Menteri Kewangan I mengumumkan sebanyak RM111 juta diperuntukkan bagi agenda Permata memperkasa pendidikan awal negara.

Peruntukan itu meliputi projek pembinaan Fasa II Kompleks Sekolah Permata Pintar, membina 32 Pusat Anak Permata Negara (PAPN) serta membiayai operasi 52 PAPN yang telah siap.


Peruntukan itu turut meliputi program Permata yang lain seperti Permata Pintar, Seni, Insan dan Remaja.

Walaupun Rosmah tidak mempunyai sebarang jawatan rasmi dalam kerajaan, khususnya Kementerian Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat serta Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia tetapi program Permata yang diuruskannya nampaknya seakan mendapat bajet 'istemewa'.

Ini kerana, pertadbiran Najib hanya memperuntukan RM95 juta sebagai bantuan perkapita untuk sekolah-sekolah agama rakyat rendah dan menengah.

Itu adalah laporan dari Harakah Daily yang menjelaskan kepada kita semua betapa Najib lebih mengutamakan Rosmah dari sekelian rakyat dan Malaysiakini pula melaporkan
Najib mengecualikan beberapa barangan yang menjadi kegilaan Isterinya itu..

'Rosmah' jabs greet Najib's budget speech
Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's budget speech drew loud jeers and shouts of his wife Rosmah Mansor's name from the opposition.

It began when Najib announced plans to turn Malaysia into a shopping haven with a proposal to exempt some 300 items from import duties.

“Such goods are apparel, handbags, shoes, shampoo, suits...” said Najib, triggering a crescendo of murmuring from the floor.

When Najib announced that “hair dye” was on the list, the government and opposition benches could not hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

This was also punctuated with chants of “Rosmah” (left) from several members of the opposition bench.

Najib etched a grin following the din and slowed down the pace of his speech while he read out, “... undergarments, lingerie, nightwear, perfumes and mosquito netting.”

His deliberate attempt to provoke his peers drew even more laughter.

Louder jeers were saved for later, when Najib announced a RM111 million allocation for the Permata programme, which is Rosmah's brainchild.

Mahfuz Omar (PAS-Pokok Sena) was heard loudly shouting “Rosmah! Rosmah!”, to which Najib responded with yet another smile.

The budget speech has also resulted in high mentions on the premier's wife on micro-blogging site Twitter.

"Tax deduction for bags, hairspray, perfume... Najib's early Xmas present for Rosmah?" wrote Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching.

"This looks like Budget RM (Rosmah Mansor)," replied Bukit Bendera MP Liew Chin Tong.
