above the average market price i think the idea of having stockpiles is a good one deserving of a try save money people get to buy electricity tariffs at acceptable level managing the economy becomes more difficult if you have your own people working at cross purposes example the proposal by a company to take over plus toll concessions it would have meant reduction of toll rates by 20 which the people will see as popular it will mean we have rm50billion into the system for god sake we don t have the money we should be thinking of raising money this way instead of groping in the dark how much do you get from gst rm 1 billion in principle i am not against gst yet you have someone from the government saying that it will cost over 200 billion to take over each year the government is paying billions in subsidies we should get out from this quicksand get the private sector to do this generally government must not do business i was itching to ask this question o oracle how do you see the government selling down stakes in the glcs the ones khazanah is handling the leader of this country must set his priorities right we should be paying attention to what khazanah is doing khazanah was formed to invest in strategic industries why the selling down in the first place i heard it was all just a strategy to sell government businesses by some people uncertain about their future there were these rumours you see at one time the ceo of khazanah wasn t sure of his tenure probably he wanted some golden handshakes maybe his guys thought about the idea of selling down not sure whether this idea will be implemented now that his tenure has been extended it s time to look at khazanah for example why is the minister in charge of the epu still a board member it should be the finance minister 2 you must let go then again look at the position of the finance minister himself maybe no longer suitable to be the chairman because it can give rise to the possibility of conflict of interests what if as finance minister he needs to implement policies not palatable to khazanah he is there yet he must implement policies of the government worrisome isn t it khazanah selling down has become a sort of priority we are reacting to foreign pressures some people from abroad tell you you need to trim down because of this and this what do you do you react as though what they say as gospel truth this is certainly not the way you do something because it is right khazanah can t think for themselves these executives are highly paid foreigners direct khazanah what did they do with proton s augusta and pantai some industries and holdings must be in government s hands for strategic interest most countries practise this the same with strategic assets just because some people from abroad come here and tell you this is wrong an assumption not tested we responded in a knee jerk manner slow down think before we do anything take the case of land for example what s the extent of land in kuala lumpur that is still owned by government the government is doing something very fundamentally wrong just look outside you see mid valley which used to be what kampong abdullah hukum i bet many in kl don t even know who he was many people now don t even know that a malay kampong known as abdullah hukum ever existed yet you are tendering out these strategic lands if you tender what do you get maybe one miserable building owned by bandaraya do a case study on mid valley sentral and 16 acres of land at brickfields given to uda government seems not bothered what about land banks of tenaga and tm you check these companies are part of khazanah what is their contribution to nep strategy the classic case is railways year in and year out slow losses what did they do with their premium lands at kenny hill and sentul compare that to indian railways i am not saying don t sell the land because the land is owned by government but we could have kept the land as a contingency measure should we face economic crises when we do we have land valuable land and maybe we can get better return these land parcels are mostly located in prime areas the government is doing the same to the land around jalan imbi you know the area where there were government quarters this is not a good way of dealing with valuable assets what the government should do is to draw up a master plan over the land then sell the land together with the master plan it becomes a package it shows the government has put much thought into the strategy in that way you not only get to sell at better value you also get to manage what s going to be developed there maybe you can even tailor the development there in accordance to a wider vision about this khazanah selling down who do they sell the interests to most likely to the same players will they be managed properly anyway like i said just now let s prioritize why is the pm more in interested in chairing meetings of khazanah the value of its portfolio is nothing compared to petronas yet the pm seems uncomfortable to deal with petronas we are surviving about half on petronas s contributions we should be directing our energy and ideas at petronas more so now as its profits are almost reduced to half from usual that s worrying too you want to restructure petronas what do you want to do with the present ceo president make him the chairman he has been in the industry for donkey years he knows the ins and outs he can still frustrate you through his network of workers so if you want to restructure petronas make a clean break find a new person altogether or don t change anything at all there was the idea being floated put syed hamid as chairman why he can t possibly overwhelm hassan merican oh because he was promised that job by the previous pm if he is good he won t have problems finding rewarding careers elsewhere oracle sir i have been meaning to ask you this what do you make of the new economic model i myself am not totally clear what the government means about the new economy what economic model do they mean but luckily i am very fortunate to know tun daim zainudin if there is anyone who should be able to tell a thing or two about what the new economy is all about it is tun daim ah ha i was thinking the oracle knows tun daim personally things will get more interesting can t wait to know of juicy tales in the temple do you know tun daim o oracle i do we came from the same state same town in fact went to school with the man played football together i know practically all the members of his family i am sure you remember he was our finance minister a man with a few words always with a serious demeanour i have known tun daim for a very long time you can practically say all my life tun daim narrated an interesting story to me his majesty our king asked tun daim one day what s this new economic model all about what do we mean by going up the value added ladder what did tun daim tell you o oracle the oracle continued well this was what tun daim told me the new economic model means we are going to build our prosperity on new industries for example industries which are knowledge based service based emerging technologies such as biotechnology for example and all that how perceptive of tun daim i said most certainly my firend tun daim has his ears close to the ground of course i being his lifelong friend was able to share in the insights of this remarkable man i won t be surprised if he has investments in such industries on the other hand the shift into the next economy requires serious planning our leaders must be knowledgeable read up on the subjects i am appalled at the shallowness of some senior ministers one needs to speak with authority and convincingly so dr mahathir had those qualities he knows what he is talking about hence when the government says about the new economy isn t going to be a straight forward matter after all we can proclaim agendas programs etc but we need to determine what directions economically do we take what do we do to reduce our dependence on natural resources just look petronas has suffered reduction of its profits recently the cost of explorations is not going to be any cheaper that alone should heighten our sense of urgency i find this sorely lacking in the minds of our leaders we pride ourselves on palm oil have we looked at our productivity lately felda has large acreage under palm oil in sabah and sarawak but the productivity people tell me is very low yet no one in felda seems to care why is felda straying away from its core business it has long departed from the agenda and vision set about by tun razak we read now it has hotels and resorts all over the place restaurants in far flung places you stretch your resources on unrelated portfolios you are going to get your fingers burnt eager to contribute to the discussion i offered my thoughts if we are going to move up the value added ladder we should concentrate on our areas where we have comparative advantage maybe services we malays are good in service industry the knowledge based and it businesses these are the new frontiers i think o oracle they are but let me say something in which malays can excel the arts are an obvious example you want to an actor an actress be the best in the field cultivate yourself with the required skill sets be professional look at those bollywood actors and actresses they are making money we have had one superstar p ramlee he could have become a super millionaire in today s terms you want to paint be the best artist be the best in your field invest in yourself point is you have to be the best in the field where you have comparative and competitive advantage let s face it we can t be the best in all fields the chinese they excel in certain fields because they work hard at being the best there we shouldn t t envy them for that of course it and knowledge based industries are the future but how do we handle that we certainly can t do it by following misguided policies let me give you an example we have produced many thousands of malay graduates yet the number of unemployed graduates is biggest among malay why ok maybe they face natural barriers of entry into certain areas we know that but probably the more important cause is our misguided policies on education we wanted to produce malay graduates of any kind we ignored the requirements of industry we produce square pegs for round holes there is widespread misfit between industry requirements and skills we have we must have critical mass to make that leap into the next level right now we are not doing well in that area industries are moving out from here to the philippines even to vietnam where they are multilingual you know they can pick up english and they can speak french too we don t build capacity investments will fly fdi is decreasing we need to arrest this downward trending we must go out bring investments in dr mahathir travelled extensively selling the virtues of malaysia we don t seem to repeat the enthusiasm let s look at the contents of education what subjects do we stress we want to go to the next step into it industry we need to have trained technicians and engineers how many engineers does india china produce yearly we don t do that realistically our desire to move into this kind of industry is a long term program restructure the education industry with emphasis and priority in new emerging fields train the malays in that industry then they can make the leap from traditional to ultra modern economy the better bet is move to biotechnology because this is where we have some comparative and competitive advantage we have biodiversity that cannot be replicated by other countries the government should be looking here the pharmaceutical industry can be leveraged on our biodiversity on our flora and fauna right now we are in a catch 22 situation we haven t built the critical mass of human resource that will allow us to leap easily into the new economy second we don t have the absorptive capacity even malay graduates are migrating elsewhere where there are markets for their skills o wise oracle i was thinking we have a few good glcs in media and communications for example but i am puzzled as to why they don t go the full 9 yards for example tv3 the last time why didn t they think to have a second astro for example you get to beam in serious content into the homes of millions look at the current astro they have so many tamil content which we can t begrudge because that business is owned by a sri lankan of tamil roots certainly they should maybe it has something to do with the quality of management i am not sure generally speaking if you have civil service mentality running businesses you probably can t match the private sector mentality definitely they need to push themselves to the limit the whole 9 yards as you say take a look at the broadband services our companies such as tm can do better for example now i hear the chief sri lankan mega tycoon wants to do the last mile broadband hook up he most certainly is capable of doing it if he does it tm should create another astro i am thinking the oracle has been talking for a long time on economic issues i fear the session may end soon i was eager to move on to other issues normally the oracle would grant 45 minute sessions our conversation has by now extended beyond one hour i don t want to overstay the oracle s hospitality either can we talk about political issues please o oracle how do you think should umno treat its former presidents in particular how do you think should we treat the larger that life figure of dr mahathir i have even characterized tun mahathir as the man who can walk on water that will be in part 4 i am afraid tweet
