Segerakan Pelan Strategik Tarik Pelabur, Jangan Biar Terus Beralih Ke Negara Jiran

KETUA Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO Malaysia Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki berkata kerajaan harus segera menyediakan pelan strategik untuk menarik pelaburan selain memastikan tiada lagi pelabur-pelabur besar multinasional yang keluar mahupun berhijrah ke negara jiran.

Katanya, ini penting bagi memastikan pertumbuhan ekonomi tidak terencat sehingga mengurangkan penciptaan peluang-peluang pekerjaan baharu untuk rakyat.

“Salah satu perkara yang wajib dilakukan segera juga ialah menarik balik proklamasi Darurat secepat mungkin apabila keadaan COVID-19 berjaya dikawal kerana ia adalah antara faktor besar yang akan memberi kesan terhadap kepercayaan dan keyakinan pelabur,” tegasnya dalam satu hantaran di Facebook.

Dalam status yang sama, Dr Asyraf turut melampirkan sekeping gambar beliau bersama Juruterbang Malindo Wan Affifi yang diberikan cuti tanpa gaji selama setahun kerana faktor ekonomi di kala pandemik COVID-19.

Tambah Dr Asyraf, Wan Affifi bersama tiga lagi rakannya turut menerima nasib sama ada dicutikan mahupun diberhentikan kerja dari Air Asia, MAS dan Air India, kini mengusahakan jualan rempeyek secara dalam talian untuk meneruskan kelangsungan hidup.

“Hakikatnya ratusan kisah-kisah sebegini Pemuda UMNO terima hampir setiap hari melalui dua Hotline Pemuda yang kami sediakan selain melalui mesej di pelbagai platform media sosial kami,” katanya.

Attract investors, halt FDIs outflow

UMNO Youth chief Datuk Dr Ashraf Wajdi Dusuki said the government should immediately prepare a strategic plan to attract investment and to ensure that no more big investors or multinational shift to neighboring countries.
He said this is important to ensure that economic growth is not hampered any further as it will reduce the creation of new job opportunities for the people.
“One of the things that must be done immediately is to withdraw the emergency as soon as possible when the situation of COVID-19 is successfully controlled, since it is one of the big factors that will affect the trust and confidence of investors,” he said in a Facebook posting.
In the posting, Dr Asyraf attached a picture of him with Malindo Pilot Wan Affifi who was given unpaid leave for a year due to economic factors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr Asyraf added that Wan Affifi and three other friends received more or less the same fate of being either laid off or fired from Air Asia, MAS and Air India, which prompted them to sell ‘rempeyek’ online for survival.
“The fact is that hundreds of such stories are received by UMNO Youth almost every day through the two Youth Hotlines that we provide, as well as through messages on our various social media platforms,” ​​he said.
