Y.Berusaha Mr.Raja Kumaran, Pengerusi bersama dari MICCI, Y.Berbahagia Dato’ Timbalan Ketua Pengarah Kastam , Dato’Mardina binti Hj. Alwi (Perkastaman dan Cukai Dalam Negeri). Dato’ Khazali, Timbalan Ketua PengarahPengurusan. Y. Bhg Dato’ Zaleha Penasihat Kastam, Y.Berusaha Dato’-dato’ Pengarah Bahagian, ahli-ahliMajlis Panel Perundingan Kastam–Swasta, Y.Berusaha wakil-wakil dari persatuan, Dato’-dato’, tuan-tuandan puan-puan yang dihormati sekalian. Alhamdulillah, saya bersyukur ke hadrat Allah s.w.t kerana denganlimpah kurnia dan izinNya dapat kita bersama-sama berkumpul pada pagi ini sempena Mesyuarat PanelPerundingan Kastam-Swasta kali pertama pada tahun 2009. Saya juga ingin mengalu-alukan kehadiranDato’-dato’, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan ahli mesyuarat terutama dari pihak swasta yang saya rasamenunjukkan apa itu komitmen.Terlebih dahulu, saya ingin merakamkan ucapan terima kasih kepada Y. Berusaha Encik RajaKumaran dari MICCI selaku Pengerusi Bersama Mesyuarat Panel Perundingan Kastam-Swasta pada kali ini.Saya turut juga ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan selamat datang kepada ahli mesyuaratyang baru pertama kali hadir ke Ibu Pejabat Kastam Diraja Malaysia. Saya dimaklumkan bahawa padamesyuarat kali ini seramai 55 orang mewakili pihak persatuan dan seramai 35 ahli mesyuarat mewakiliJabatan Kastam Diraja Malaysia (JKDM).11

Mesyuarat Panel Perundingan antara JKDM dan swasta diadakan sebanyak 2 kali setahun. Forumseumpama ini adalah selaras dengan konsep persyarikatan Malaysia (Malaysia Incoporated) yang telahdiperkenalkan oleh kerajaan pada suatu masa dahulu. Di antara lain matlamat mesyuarat ini diadakanadalah bagi mengeratkan hubungan silaturahim antara pihak JKDM dan pihak swasta. JKDM sangatmengalu-alukan inisiatif seumpama ini sebagai satu cara untuk mewujudkan majlis musyawarah bagimembincangkan isu dan perkara yang mempunyai kepentingan bersama.Sebagai sebuah negara yang bergantung kepada pasaran bebas dan juga perdagangan antarabangsa,Malaysia mesti sentiasa memastikan bahawa urusan perjalanan kegiatan ekonomi berjalan dengan lancar.Sehubungan itu, adalah menjadi tanggungjawab pelbagai pihak termasuk economic players seperti tuan-tuandan puan-puan untuk memastikan bahawa kepentingan ekonomi dan perdagangan Malaysia akan sentiasaterjamin terutama sekali di dalam masa semua negara-negara di dunia saling bersaing untukmempertingkatkan economic well being negara masing-masing. Panel Perundingan Kastam-Swasta yang telahsekian lama wujud adalah merupakan langkah terbaik yang dapat membantu usaha kerajaan di dalammeningkatkan daya saing negara terutama sekali di dalam situasi negara berdepan dengan kelembapanekonomi yang melanda seluruh negara termasuk Malaysia.JKDM telah memperkenalkan pendekatan baru di dalam melaksanakan fungsi dan matlamatmesyuarat ini. Pendekatan yang saya maksudkan ialah JKDM dan pihak swasta telah mengadakanperbincangan awal terhadap sebanyak 44 isu yang telah dibangkitkan. Hasil daripada perbincangan awaltersebut, sebanyak 11 isu telah berjaya diselesaikan sebelum mesyuarat pada hari ini. Ini membuktikanbahawa kedua-dua pihak sentiasa saling berhubung tanpa menunggu mesyuarat seumpama pagi ini untukmencari penyelesaian terhadap isu-isu yang boleh menyekat atau menghalang kemajuan perdagangannegara.12

Saya ingin memberi jaminan bahawa JKDM akan sentiasa memperbaiki dan juga menambah baiksistem penyampaian agar urusan pihak swasta dapat berjalan lancar. Saya berpegang kepada prinsipbahawa JKDM harus sentiasa berperanan to facilitate, not to frustrate. Dalam masa yang sama JKDM jugasentiasa berharap agar pihak swasta turut berperanan untuk memberikan cadangan serta memberikanmaklumat yang tepat untuk membolehkan JKDM membuat kajian dan pertimbangan dan sekiranyacadangan atau saranan yang dikemukakan dapat dilaksanakan, ianya akan dilaksanakan secepat mungkin.Saya berharap mesyuarat kali ini akan menghasilkan idea-idea yang baru dan bernas yang dapat kita kongsibersama di dalam usaha meningkatkan pencapaian kita di dalam pelbagai aspek. Setakat ini ucapan saya,dan saya menjemput Mr Raja Kumaran, Pengerusi bersama Panel Perundingan Kastam-Swasta untukmemberikan kata-kata aluan.13

AGENDA 2Ucapan Pengerusi BersamaY. Bhg Dato’ Hj Ibrahim bin Hj Jaapar, Ketua Pengarah Kastam Malaysia. Y.Bhg Dato’ Mardina binti Hj.Alwi Timbalan Ketua Pengarah Kastam Malaysia Perkastaman dan Cukai dalam Negeri , Y. Bhg Dato’ Khazalibin Hj. Ahmad Timbalan Ketua Pengarah Pengurusan, Y. Bhg Dato’ Zaleha, Customs Advisor, Dato’–dato’Pengarah, Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan.I would like to personally wish everyone a very good morning and would like to thank the RoyalMalaysian Customs Department (JKDM) for hosting the Consultative Panel Meeting for 2009. The Customs-Private Sector Consultative Panel Meeting has become the most important forum for the private sectors toengage with the JKDM to share their view and expertise especially in this challenging economic environment.I hope the policy decisions made in this meeting will be in line with the concept of One Malaysia, so that wecan work as one team in order to achieve one goal, which is towards a developed nation by 2020. Towardsthis we note that the JKDM have had pre-consultative meetings with individual state associations to resolvesome of the issues raised. We think that is a very good idea and this is in line with the concept of OneMalaysia. I would like congratulate the JKDM on this matter. As the country becomes developed, there mustbe less Customs intervention on the operations of our business. For example, applying for facilities such assales tax for raw materials, able to download forms from the internet and there should be reduction in some14

of the information JKDM requires when we apply for exemptions. And to date, we still note from our membersthat they are still inconsistencies of information needed by different states. This actually delays businessesbecause you need to know exactly what JKDM Penang wants which differs from what JKDM Johore wants.And this is not consistent and hope the JKDM will address this. I think one of the challenges the governmentis facing is to computerise everything. Because, the moment we can download information from the internetour standards go up to the business hierarchy under the World Bank’s criteria. I know the JKDM is puttingeffort to computerise everything, but maybe this needs to be accelerated, so that everyone can benefit fromthis. I’m sure the Pengarah Kastam will help the JKDM to achieve this goal of having mutual recognition withother countries. This will definitely be beneficial for us. I would like to thank Dato’ for giving the privatesectors the opportunity to put out our views and aspirations and again I would like to thank everyone.15

AGENDA 8Ucapan Penutup PengerusiTerima kasih Encik Raja Kumaran.Sebelum itu, saya ingin memohon rakan-rakan saya di JKDM, apabila pihak swasta ada masalahdengan usul, kita berbincang secara terbuka. Kita boleh berkongsi pendapat atau maklumat. Adakalanyapihak swasta lebih arif mengenai sesuatu isu daripada kita. Penilaian dari pihak kita perlu dibuat bagimenyelesaikan sesuatu masalah dengan cepat. Ini akan meningkatkan taraf ekonomi negara melalui deliverysystems kita dan sebagainya. Melalui cara ini, kita akan dapat mencapai manfaat yang lebih berbandingdaripada sistem bersaing dengan negara-negara yang lain. Jadi saya minta perancangan dibuat bagi manamanausul yang kita terima dan saya berharap supaya kita tidak menunggu sehingga enam bulan untukmenyelesaikan sesuatu masalah itu. Apabila sesuatu usul telah selesai, kita perlu mengeluarkan surat danmaklumkan apa tindakan yang telah diambil.74

Saya amat berterima kasih di atas semua maklumat perbincangan yang diutarakan serta diatassemua maklum balas yang diberikan oleh pihak swasta dan juga pihak Kastam.

Kepada semua pegawai, saya inginmenegaskan bahawa kita dapat memberi kerjasama dan perkhidmatan yang baik kepada pihak swasta demiuntuk kemakmuran negara. Saya percaya kita tidak sempurna dari segi pengetahuan dan saya amatmengalu-alukan pandangan membina dari semua pihak kerana sekiranya ini dapat dilakukan, isu-isuberkaitan dengan pengurusan JKDM dapat diselesaikan secara positif.Saya ingin menyatakan bahawa kemungkinan sesetengah isu ini yang dibincangkan di sini akan jugadibawa ke dalam forum yang lain, contohnya dialog MITI. Saya mohon supaya isu-isu yang diputuskandalam mesyuarat ini akan mempunyai keputusan dan penyelesaian yang sama walaupun ianyadibincangkan dalam forum yang lain. Kita seharusnya menjadi profesional dalam menangani sesuatu isu.Akhir kata, saya ucapkan terima kasih di atas segala sumbangan yang diberikan di dalam mesyuaratini dan insyaAllah kita akan jumpa lagi di mesyuarat yang akan datang.
