Faulty Diversion

The heat is certainly on Lim Guan Eng on the #NoSwimmingPool issue. The silly #BadFengShui excuse given by Teresa Kok makes the whole circus even sillier. Who in the right mind would want to buy a property that has bad Feng Shui? To make matters worse, a Melaka DAP officeholder has quit the party to become an independent. Johor-born Lim Guan Eng was a Melaka DAP person until he found it difficult to get support there that he had to contest in Penang, making the Penang DAP folks look like they are incompetent to run the affairs of their own state.

Anyway, you can lookup the hastags above on Twitter and see what has been discussed.

  
To take the heat of Lim Guan Eng, the DAP has been giving all sorts of silly excuses to defend his purchase of the property at No.25 Jalan Pinhorn:

  
Enter Liew Chin Tong. Liew tries to divert the whole attention to this recently-revealed document, saying that Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah was part of the plot to topple Najib Razak, a claim underscored by an enraged Mahathir who had to even confess that he was a dictator!

   
   
Nice try, Ah Tong. I can come up with such an unsigned draft and claim that it was godsent. But all I have seen so far is this:

  
That Ku Li signed the declaration to support Najib Razak. And unlike the unsigned document above, he actually signed the declaration of support.

We won’t forget Section 165 of the Penal Code and how similar Guan Eng’s case is to that of Khir Toyo’s. The question now is when, since the MACC is trying best to protect Guan Eng by delaying taking his statement.

Tokong Mustn’t Lie

        
The above was sent to Lim Guan Eng. it states the valued price of the bungalow at No.25, Jalan Pinhorn. Yet, Guan Eng had the cheek to say the following:

  
It seems impossible for Guan Eng to NOT know about the value of the property or his claim to NOT know about the plans for the land at Taman Manggis. Mind you, let us see what are his other portfolios:

  
I have a message for you, Guan Eng:

Is The MACC On The Opposition’s Payroll?

I found the following on My Nation:

  
For the pasr three days I have been wondering if the MACC is part of the conspiracy as mentioned by Muhyiddin a few days back. The inaction by MACC on cases involving civil servants and Barisan Nasional politicians is telling…blatantly. This latest action by MACC seems like a red herring, a diversion from the pressure it is facing:

RM0.00 SPRM tahan 9 orang termasuk seorang pegawai kanan sebuah kementerian terlibat sindiket salah guna dana kerajaan.Akibatnya rugi dana RM100 juta-Agendanews
RM0.00 PENGARAH Siasatan SPRM,Datuk Azam Baki di PC tadi kata pegawai yang berjawatan Setiausaha Bahagian itu dianggar terima suapan RM20 juta-Agendanews
RM0.00 PEGAWAI itu kerap terbang first class keluar negara dgn keluarga.Banyak jam mahal.Ada satu RM400,000,kereta mewah,barang kemas,beg2 berjenama -Agendanews

Fine that it is acting against errant civil servants but has it said anything about Lim Guan Eng’s case.

Suddenly, Lim Guan Eng came up with a very weird statement:

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng today expressed surprise over the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) saying it previously investigated his tenancy at a Penang home, saying it never contacted him regarding the case.
He also questioned why the MACC neither announced that it had investigated him over the issue nor the outcome of the investigation.
“It is intriguing that the MACC in Penang said it once investigated my tenancy at the home in 2009. If that is so, why did it not announce to the public in 2009 that this was baseless?
– See more at: http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/after-macc-reveals-past-probe-guan-eng-questions-silence-about-outcome

It begs the question: is the MACC on the Opposition’s payroll?

Will MACC Not Act Again?

  
Today, Datuk Huan Cheng Guan has lodged a report against Lim Guan Eng on the No.25 Jalan Pinhorn property issue and how it is linked to the Taman Manggis land sale.

Earlier, Lim Guan Eng mentioned in a press conference that he had no knowledge that the Taman Manggis land had been earmarked for the construction of low-cost affordable homes. Perhaps Guan Eng also suffers from memory loss like Mahathir:

  
The MACC, probably under pressure to do something as the spotlight is now on the agency, has announced that an investigation paper has been opened on the Lim Guan Eng case:

  
A previous investigation on Lim Guan Eng was forwarded to the MACC HQ in 2010 but there was no further action – not even forwarded to the then-Attorney-General, not even to its oversight panel. Of course there wasn’t any donkey cries as in the recent case of the SRC/1MDB. Let me recap:

12-02-2010, 06:58 PM

GEORGETOWN: Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) Pulau Pinang sudah menyerahkan kertas siasatan berkaitan kos ubah suai dan sewa banglo mewah Ketua Menteri, Lim Guan Eng, kepada ibu pejabat suruhanjaya itu di Putrajaya, bulan lalu.
Perkara itu disahkan Pengarah SPRM negeri, Datuk Latifah Md Yatim, pada sidang media di pejabatnya di sini, pagi ini.
“Kami sudah serahkan kepada ibu pejabat untuk tindakan lanjut,” katanya yang enggan mengulas lanjut.
Julai lalu, Pemuda Gerakan Pulau Pinang, membuat laporan kepada SPRM berhubung kos pengubahsuaian banglo mewah yang disewa Guan Eng di Jalan Pinhorn di sini.
Laporan itu dibuat selepas Guan Eng tidak memberi maklum balas terhadap permintaan Gerakan yang mahu beliau menjelaskan isu berkaitan banglo sewa itu termasuk nilai sewaan.
Ketua Menteri berpindah ke banglo berkenaan kerana kediaman rasmi, Seri Teratai di sini, mengalami kerosakan serta banyak anai-anai.

Pada sidang media itu, Latifah juga memaklumkan tiada tindakan pendakwaan terhadap mana-mana pihak berhubung dakwaan Aminah Abdullah bahawa beliau cuba disogok supaya menarik diri pada pilihan raya kecil Dewan Undangan Penanti, Mei lalu.
“SPRM memperakukan tiada mana-mana pihak akan didakwa dalam kes ini,” katanya.
Menjelang pilihan raya kecil itu, Aminah yang bertanding atas tiket Bebas mendakwa didatangi pemimpin Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) dengan menawarkan jawatan Yang Dipertua Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang (MPPP) dan wang tunai RM80,000 supaya menarik diri daripada bertanding.
Aminah, yang juga bekas Ketua Wanita PKR negeri turut mendakwa PKR menawarkan jawatan Timbalan Ketua Menteri I jika beliau menang pilihan raya kecil itu, dengan syarat menyertai semula parti itu.

Beliau mendakwa didatangi seorang pegawai kepada Exco kerajaan negeri dan seorang ahli majlis PKR negeri untuk membuat tawaran itu.

So when an investigation paper on a member of the Opposition gets to the MACC HQ, it enters a black hole.

We will see how far will this “investigative” effort get. Perhaps, it will be just another NFA.

By the way, does anyone still remember that there was an allegation of abuse of power by a senior ranking MACC officer but was dismissed by the MACC top man? Apparently there already was a police report being made on that in Kota Bharu just after when the alleged abuse of power took place. No action was taken.

Recently there was another report made in the Klang Valley by the same complainant on the same allegation involving the same MACC person. So far that too has been met with silence on both the PDRM and the MACC side.

Is the MACC covering for the wrong-doings by its ranks?

The Silence Is MACC

  
Roughly a year ago the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission began drumming up for war against 1MDB with one goal and one goal only – to piece together selective evidences collected so there would be a corruption case against Najib Razak. As an investigator, that is how I perceive the investigation conducted by the MACC.

Recently, there has been an exposé on a certain property at No.25 Jalan Pinhorn in Georgetown, Pulau Pinang. In the words of MCA’s Tan Khai Beng:

  
This is the property in question:

  
The S&P sounds VERY similar to the case of the original Mr Botox, Khir Toyo, the former Menteri Besar of Selangor who, with his cohorts, caused the serious erosion of support towards the Barisan Nasional and its subsequent virtually irrecoverable loss in Selangor in 2008. Khir was sentenced to 12 months (I wish it was years instead) imprisonment for a similar property deal.

  
While surrounding properties have been valued at between RM5 million to RM6 million, this particular property cost Lim Guan Eng almost a third of its value. When asked about the price, Guan Eng’s pathetic excuse was:

  
I don’t care so much about the property. My real concern is this:

  
Why hasn’t the MACC concluded the investigation into the sale and purchase of the property at No.25 Jalan Pinhorn? The investigation paper was opened in 2012 and it’s been four years already with no end in sight. I am beginning to question MACC’s apartisanship and the integrity of its officers.

Perhaps, the MACC too has a price.

Muhyiddin’s Admissions

Apparently in September 2015 Muhyiddin acknowledged that there is a conspiracy to topple the Prime Minister.

He also admitted that funds are administrted by the UMNO President himself.

So why has he been jumping around like an irritated monkey?

FGV Acquires Zhong Ling

Media ReleaseZhong Ling Acquisition to Strengthen FGV’s Downstream Position in China

 

KUALA LUMPUR, 16 MARCH 2016 – Felda Global Ventures Holdings Berhad (FGV) is confident its latest venture, the planned earning accretive acquisition of a 55% stake (valued at RM976.25 million) in Zhong Ling Nutril-Oil Holdings Limited (Zhong Ling), will strengthen its presence in high margin downstream activities.

As part of its transformation strategy and aggressive growth plans, FGV has identified the Chinese market as a key pillar of revenue enhancement for the Group, and plans to strengthen its position in China through a strategic acquisition of a stake in a well-known local player.

China is one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies, with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rates averaging 7% from 2014 to 2015. With a population of almost 1.4 billion people, China has become one of the most important markets in the world for edible oils. 

As the largest importer of edible oils, China consumes almost a quarter of the world’s total edible oils (20% of worldwide consumption). FGV views China’s increasing demand potential as an attractive prospective market for expansion of FGV’s downstream capabilities, particularly in the Consumer Packed Goods (CPG) business.

The strong demand for blended cooking oil in China is also anticipated to provide an avenue for FGV’s palm-based products in the massive Chinese market. Ultimately, the Group will be able to penetrate further downstream palm-based products such as margarine, shortenings and food processing ingredients.

According to FGV’s Group President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Mohd Emir Mavani Abdullah: “We view Zhong Ling as a strong local partner for FGV’s downstream expansion in China not only because of its solid brand and deep market insights, but also for it being ranked 10th in the retail cooking oil market in China. Zhong Ling will be a firm avenue for distributing our palm oil products which is our main intention.” 

Established more than 20 years ago, Zhong Ling has a sales network of 60,000 retail outlets covering five southeast coastal provinces of Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu.

Since its establishment, Zhong Ling has experienced tremendous growth, recording a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of about 20% in revenue over the past four years and generating average profit margins in the region of 14% annually (2011-2014). In 2014, the company posted total revenue of RMB2.32 billion (RM1.5 billion), generating RMB326 million (RM207 million) in profits. Furthermore, based on its 2015 management account, Zhong Ling is backed by more than RMB1.0 billion (RM635 million) cash reserve and, most importantly, is a debt free company.

The intended investment has cleared all necessary due diligence, in accordance with FGV’s investment and governance policies. The financial and tax due diligence that FGV has performed covers Zhong Ling’s financials. All subsidiaries under Zhong Ling have been audited annually in accordance with China’s regulations.

In 2011, FGV has made its first foray into China through its joint venture FELDA IFFCO Sdn Bhd. Its subsidiary FELDA IFFCO South China Ltd, which operates in Guangdong, has two refineries and the second largest tank farm in South China. The company manufactures and markets a range of edible oils and fats including shortening and specialty fats for the large and growing Chinese market.

Munafik

Do you know what hypocrisy is? Hypocrisy is when you tell your  
voters that so and so is the devil reincarnated, that he is out to destroy their way of life, their rights and their religion. Hypocrisy is when you tell those oppressed that the person oppressing them has made rich his family members as well as cronies,
And then you work hand-in-hand with the very people you’ve been so bent on destroying, just so you could fulfill your political destiny and personal goals, disregarding what mental stress that you have put your voters and supporters through.
These are hypocrites. Do you know what hypocrite is in Islam?
Munafik.
And no matter how much you try to justify their hypocrisy, they are still munafiks and your trying to justify their hypocrisy has to be the most vile of acts.

Najib Should Face Charges

 

Should he?

So said the Oversight Review Panel of the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission that met for the last time on the 24th February 2016 at 10am. The meeting lasted three hours and they concluded the meeting at 1pm.

Look at the time the above was released by The Malaysian Inciter – 7am! Now how did the ORP issue a statement before it even convened?
Suddenly, The Malaysian Inciter got blocked by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission! That’s another big lie up there that they published!

Didn’t the ORP agreed to a statement saying Najib should face the music? The Star came out with this:

  
There is a straight denial by the Chairman of the ORP on the “statement” released to The Malaysan Inciter. The Chairman issued the following statement:

  

Therefore, not only did the ORP not issue such statement, it has also denied requesting the MACC to issue a public statement on the issues.

I have a word of advice for Rohaizat, who is the Director of Strategic Communications and Media for the MACC. The MACC is a body that is supposed to be the epitome of the word integrity. Rohaizat has none and he should just resign, discard his uniform and join the line of ladies who have nothing better to do with their mouth.

  

In the meantime the police should investigate the “ORP statement”, The Malaysian Inciter, and grill Rohaizat to see who is paying him to be such a girl.

No Further Action

  
I haven’t said much about the RM2.6 billion money that was donated through a vehicle bearing Najib Razak’s name. What I know for sure is that the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission sent three officers to meet up with the source of the donation or the donor’s agent. I also mentioned on other socmed posts that the Attorney-General has every right to not indict any case that is forwarded to his office as per Article 145(3) of the Federal Constitution.

Many cry foul, till today, but could never come up with arguments based on legal facts, including (I don’t feel sorry for this) idiots who think that by being in the MACC they know everything. They simply don’t. So, let’s visit the facts.

Case Facts

  1. Najib Razak received a political donation equivalent to RM2.6 billion,
  2. The money was received through a private account bearing Najib Razak’s name.

Legal Facts

  1. The Constitution of a political party that was approved under the Societies Act allows a political party to receive political donations;
  2. Najib Razak received the donation as the Head of a political party, not as the Prime Minister or as Najib Razak the individual. To those who carry signs bearing the words “Mana RM2.6 billion” I say up yours, the money is NOT for you.
  3. Therefore, based on the facts given by paragraphs 1 and 2, there is no burden of law on Najib Razak for receiving the money.
  4. The Anti Money Laundering Act (AMLA) is a law to control monetary   transactions. Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) would have to approve those transactions.
  5. In Najib’s case, BNM had already approved the transaction. Therefore, BNM has to abide by the law, terms and regulations pertaining to the law.
  6. Approval of that transaction also means the transaction is free from any burden of the law.

Based on the facts above I opine that the Attorney-General had made the correct decision and everyone should give it a rest.

Now I hope someone would tell the Attorney-General to dig up this particular issue that I believe was buried by someone under the instruction of someone else:
