@LiowTIongLai ucapkan Gong Xi Fa Chai kepada rakyat Malaysia, mahu semua stay #StrongerTogether




President Malaysia Chinese Association (MCA) merangkap Menteri Pengangkutan Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai hari ini mengambil kesempatan untuk mengucapkan Selamat Tahun Baru Cina dan Gong Xi Fa Chai kepada semua rakyat Malaysia yang menyambut perayaan Tahun Baru. Dalam ucapan beliau, Yang Berhormat Menteri mahu rakyat Malaysia bersatu kerana perpaduan akan menjadikan kita lebih kuat.



Ini adalah seperti pepetah Melayu yang berbunyi "Bersatu Teguh, Bercerai Roboh". Melalui pesanan Tahun Baru Cina ini juga, Yang Berhormat Menteri juga menjelaskan beberapa usaha yang kini dilakukan oleh parti MCA untuk kesejahteraan rakyat. Antara yang diusahakan MCA adalah untuk memastikan kualiti hidup rakyat ditingkatkan melalui initiatif yang merangsang ekonomi negara. 

Inisiatif ini dilakukan oleh MCA melalui fasa ketiga Pelan Transformasi MCA iaitu 10 Strategi Langkah Ekonomi dimana salah satunya adalah Belt and Road initiative dimana MCA berusaha menarik pelaburan asing ke negara ini seterusnya merangsang ekonomi negara. Yang Berhormat Menteri juga berharap Tahun Monyet ini dapat memberikan lebih kejayaan kepada parti MCA dalam usaha mereka untuk membantu rakyat. 

Sebelum mengakhiri ucapan beliau, Yang Berhormat Menteri juga mengingatkan rakyat yang memandu untuk pulang ke kampung halaman supaya berhati - hati di Jalanraya dan sentiasa mematuhi segala peraturan dan undang - undang sedia ada. Biar lambat asalkan selamat.  Bagi kami di #KLChronicle, kami menyambut baik ucapan Yang Berhormat Menteri dan diharap rakyat dapat terus memberikan sokongan padu mereka kepada MCA. 

Gong Xi Fa Cai to my fellow Malaysians!

As a new lunar year dawns on us, let us together look forward with hope, courage, and a determination to seize the opportunities that await. May the Year of the Monkey bring luck, joy and good fortune so that we may together create a better tomorrow for all.

Improving the lives of Malaysians is a personal goal of mine and one that is shared by the Government as well. At Ministry level, I have championed improved delivery of service for the benefit of the Rakyat particularly via the Agencies under the Ministry’s purview.

Similarly at MCA, we are working hard to better the quality of life of Malaysians via initiatives that will encourage economic growth.

Last year, we launched the third phase of our MCA Transformation Plan, the 10 Strategic Economic Directions. As a result of the core initiative under this third phase, the Belt & Road initiative, MCA has been facilitating trade relations as well as pulling in investments into the country to advance the local economy. Clearly MCA is open to transforming for the better and in turn becoming true representatives of the Chinese community, championing the rights of all Malaysians.

Furthermore, the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) holds immense potential for us. Malaysia stands to thrive alongside our neighbours as intra-ASEAN as well as international trade expands and businesses are encouraged to develop.

Indeed, the opportunities under the One Belt One Road initiative, together with the AEC as well as the TPPA are vast.

As we look towards working together for our nation’s growth, we must not forget to also guard our nation against the dangers of radicalism. The ISIS threat continues to be prevalent. Together, we must be vigilant against those who threaten the peace of our nation and the world.

While many challenges may lie ahead, I am confident Malaysians will have the determination to overcome them.

May the advent of a new lunar year inspire us to be open-minded and compassionate in our undertakings.

To everyone travelling during the holidays, remember to stay safe on the road and rest at regular intervals if you are planning a long drive.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Dato’ Sri Liow Tiong Lai
MCA President
Member of Parliament for Bentong
Minister of Transport, Malaysia
