Perutusan YB. Menteri
Tema hari kemerdekaan yang ke-60 membawa mesej yang jelas tentang kesepakatan, kecintaan dan kesetiaan kita kepada negara. Pengorbanan pemimpin terdahulu untuk membebaskan Malaysia daripada penjajahan British tidak harus dilupakan. Hari ini negara kita telah bebas dan merdeka. Kemerdekaan dan pembangunan yang kita kecapi harus ditatang dengan penuh rasa kesyukuran dan kita sewajarnya bersatu dalam mempertahankan nikmat kemerdekaan ini buat generasi yang akan datang. Hari Raya Haji atau Aidil Adha merupakan sambutan yang amat bermakna bagi umat Islam. Peristiwa bersejarah ini bermula apabila Nabi Ibrahim (A.S) telah diwahyukan supaya melakukan penyembelihan terhadap anaknya yang tersayang, Nabi Ismail (A.S). Sebagai seorang Nabi, pesuruh dan pembawa agama Allah S.W.T, Nabi Ibrahim (A.S) telah menjalankan perintah Allah S.W.T dengan penuh ketaatan. Sifat taat kepada Allah S.W.T telah melebihi segala-galanya. Nilai murni dari peristiwa Nabi Ibrahim (A.S) dan Nabi Ismail (A.S) yang harus kita contohi dalam konteks kemerdekaan Malaysia adalah sejauh mana kita menyayangi dan sanggup melakukan pengorbanan, ketaatan untuk mempertahankan kedaulatan bumi Malaysia. Pengorbanan ini sewajarnya menjadi teladan untuk kita bersama khususnya dalam mempertahankan nikmat kemerdekaan yang dikecapi bumi bertuah ini. Kitalah yang bertuah untuk mewarisi dan menjadi penyambung kelangsungan negara yang merdeka ini. Akhir kata, saya mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan selamat menyambut hari kemerdekaan yang ke-60. Saya dan keluarga serta warga Kementerian ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha, Maaf Zahir dan Batin.
Dato’ Sri Mustapa MohamedMenteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh dan Salam Sejahtera.

Sambutan Hari Kemerdekaan dan Hari Raya Korban membawa falsafah dan pengertian yang amat besar kepada kita semua rakyat Malaysia.

Of Technical Terms
IoTInternet of Things - System of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
IPIIndustrial Production Index - The industrial production index measures the change in output in Malaysian manufacturing, mining, construction, and electricity, gas and water. Output refers to the physical quantity of goods produced, unlike sales value, which combines quantity and price. The index covers the production of goods and power for domestic sales in Malaysia and for export. It excludes production in the agriculture, transportation, communications, trade, finance, and service industries, government, and imports.
J-curveThe shape of the trend of a country’s trade balance following a devaluation. A lower exchange rate initially means cheaper exports and more expensive imports, making the current account worse (a bigger deficit or smaller surplus). After a while, though, the volume of exports will start to rise because of their lower price to foreign buyers, and domestic consumers will buy fewer of the costlier imports. Eventually, the trade balance will improve on what it was before the devaluation. If there is a currency appreciation there may be an inverted J-curve.
JPC 3Jawatankuasa Pengecualian Cukai Besi Keluli - A committee chaired by MITI and representatives from MOF, MIDA and Customs that evaluates and determines import duty exemption applications for raw materials of iron and steel products.
KeynesianA branch of economics, based, often loosely, on the ideas of Keynes, characterised by a belief in active government and suspicion of market outcomes. It was dominant in the 30 years following the Second World War, and especially during the 1960s, when fiscal policy became bigger-spending and looser in most developed countries as policymakers tried to kill off the business cycle. During the 1970s, widely blamed for the rise in inflation, Keynesian policies gradually gave way to monetarism and microeconomic policies that owed much to the neo-classical economics that Keynes had at times opposed. Even so, the idea that public spending and taxation have a crucial role to play in managing demand, in order to move towards full employment, remained at the heart of macroeconomic policy in most countries, even after the monetarist and supply-side revolution of the 1980s and 1990s. Recently, a school of new, more pro-market Keynesian economists has emerged, believing that most markets work, but sometimes only slowly.
