政府指示公积金局注资50亿救市. 潘俭伟：拿百万雇员血汗钱冒险

副首相兼财政部长纳吉昨日甫宣布的稳市方案中，政府将注入马币50亿元予投资基金Valuecap，以投资被市场低估的股项；至于政府如何筹得这50亿元，纳吉今天就简短地告诉媒体，这笔钱将会向雇员公积金局（EPF）借获。

《道琼斯》通讯社报道，纳吉今天告诉记者，昨日公布的50亿元额外基金注入Valuecap，将会是来自公积金局的贷款；他也解释说，这 50亿元并不是2009年预算案的一部分。

Valuecap乃是政府在2003年成立的投资公司，当时成立的目的也是为了救市，让政府的基金可以进场吸纳一些被低估的股只，成立时正值伊拉克战争，造成市道低迷。随着政府这次再注入50亿元，Valuecap的资金也随之增长一倍，达到100亿元。

为了缓冲这次全球性金融海啸的影响，甫上任一个月的马来西亚新任财长纳吉（左图），昨天特别公布了一系列的稳定市场法案，除了注入50亿元资金，政府将检 讨外国投资委员会（FIC）的方针，以吸引更多外资进入我国，特别是在房地产和金融领域。此外，政府也会开放服务领域，以提高竞争力。【点击：注入50亿 投资被低估股项 纳吉再否认浮现金融危机】

马来西亚政府采取强制性雇员存款制度，规定所有的雇员与雇主将部分薪金存入公积金局，做为退休金；因此公积金局的投资回酬，都会直接影响会员的退休生活。

纳吉在做出这项“救市”方案后，再加上美国股市隔夜回弹，马来西亚股市今天早盘走高了7.47点，达916.98点。

看上面红字的部分: EPF 里面是谁的钱 ? 是你我大家退休后的退休金.

An asset management company initiated by the government, called Valuecap Sdn Bhd, with RM10 billion funds began operation at the end of last week. It is owned equally by Khazanah Nasional Bhd (Khazanah), Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) and Kumpulan Wang Amanah Pencen (KWAP). Valuecap will be investing in the KLSE.

The Employees Provident Fund (EPF), which has been wrongly reported as also being involved with Valuecap, has come out with a strong denial. It stresses that it only “invests in companies with sound fundamentals, long-term growth potential and good management”, and will not participate in activities to shore up the market or to bail out ailing companies.EPF appears to be criticising Valuecap and regretting its past mistakes.

What is the real purpose of Valuecap, with such amount of funds? Is it trying to shore up the market in order to make profits for the three companies associated with it? Or is it trying to improve the share market condition during the short period before the coming general election?

We note that after Valuecap began operation, the Composite Index rose by 9.24 points (to 635.8) or 1.5 percent. On Monday afternoon, it rose by about 13 points. But how long can this rather artificial improvement be sustained? Billions have been injected into the KLSE in the past, but what have been the results in the long term?

Much has been fleeced from Khazanah, PNB and KWAP in the recent past to bail out a few large crony companies, the most well-known being Renong, without benefiting the common people at all.

Now, the people’s funds will again be used or abused for the benefit of a few crony companies and a handful of major players in the share market. Can the condition of the country’s economy and the life of the people be improved by squandering billions upon billions of public funds in the share market?

We know that billions of ringgit was burnt up in a futile attempt to check the effects of the financial crisis and to rescue the share market towards the close of the last millennium.

About 10 years ago, the treasury lost RM15 billion following some foolish speculative activities related to the British sterling. It is well known that these activities were under the direct supervision of Nor Mohd Yakcop, now the special economic adviser to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Apparently, he is primarily responsible for the idea of setting up Valuecap. How much more of the nation’s wealth and people’s money must be squandered? PRM strongly urges the Finance Ministry to give a complete and comprehensive explanation of the background and the true objective of setting up Valuecap. If it fails to do so, then we have no choice but to conclude that the short-term goal is actually to save certain companies and capitalists and also, perhaps more importantly, to raise funds needed by the Barisan Nasional for the coming general election.

结论: Valuecap 是间专门A人民血汗钱的不知名公司
