Penglibatan Dana Awam Dalam Pembelian Hartanah Di KL Eco City Memperlihatkan Ketidakpedulian Umno Kepada Nasib Rakyat Termiskin

Leave a comment

Saya telah membawa isu pembangunan sebidang tanah di dalam kawasan Parlimen Lembah Pantai yang mengenepikan kebajikan rakyat di dalam sidang Dewan Rakyat yang lepas. Projek pembangunan hartanah mewah KL Eco City bernilai RM6 billion yang melibatkan SP Setia, DBKL dan syarikat milik Pergerakan Pemuda Umno ini telah mendapat perhatian ramai berikutan nasib yang menimpa penduduk-penduduk berpendapatan rendah yang mendiami tanah tersebut asalnya.

Pendedahan terbaru pada hari ini bahawa dana awam yang disalurkan kepada NFC telah digunakan untuk membeli 8 unit hartanah mewah di KL Eco City pada nilaian semasa yang mencecah RM12 juta mengundang pelbagai persoalan baru.

Pertamanya, tindakan suami dan keluarga seorang menteri kanan yang juga Ahli Parlimen kawasan yang terbabit membeli hartanah tersebut menimbulkan persoalan pertembungan kepentingan (conflict of interest) di antara tugas seorang Ahli Parlimen dan kemahuan peribadi keluarga beliau.

Dalam kes pembangunan KL Eco City, ia melibatkan pemindahan penduduk berpendapatan rendah yang tidak diberikan pampasan yang berpatutan. Sewajarnya nasib dan hak penduduk berpendapatan rendah ini dibela oleh Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil agar syarikat pemaju yang besar seperti SP Setia memberikan pampasan yang sepadan.

Dengan pendedahan terkini, Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil wajar menerangkan kepada rakyat sama ada beliau memainkan apa-apa peranan yang mempengaruhi keputusan sehingga menyebabkan pemindahan penduduk berpendapatan rendah di Kampung Abdullah Hukum. Jika beliau mengambil sikap sambil lewa dalam membela nasib penduduk yang terbabit sejak sebuah syarikat usahama diwujudkan dalam tahun 2007, ia juga menimbulkan pertanyaan sama ada ini ada kena mengena dengan kepentingan keluarga beliau yang berhasrat membeli hartanah di KL Eco City.

Persoalan-persoalan moral ini adalah lanjutan dari isu yang saya bangkitkan di Dewan Rakyat berkenaan ketidakpedulian pimpinan Pemuda Umno yang mendapat durian runtuh berjumlah RM75 juta daripada projek ini, sedang rakyat berpendapatan rendah dibiarkan tanpa pembelaan.

Kepimpinan Pemuda Umno terlibat secara langsung di dalam pembangunan KL Eco City dan tindakan pemindahan penduduk melalui syarikat YGP Holdings Sdn Bhd, yang merupakan rakan kongsi awal KL Eco City Sdn Bhd (iaitu pemaju yang juga anak syarikat SP Setia).

Pengarah-pengarah YGP Holdings Sdn Bhd termasuklah Ketua Pemuda Umno, Sdr Khairy Jalamuddin dan pimpinan Pemuda Umno seperti Dato’ Abdul Rahman Dahlan dan Dato’ Megat Firdouz Megat Junid.

Saya akan menunggu jawapan dari Ketua Wanita dan Ketua Pemuda Umno mengenai penglibatan mereka di dalam sebuah projek yang meminggirkan kepentingan rakyat berpendapatan rendah di Lembah Pantai, sementara rakan-rakan pimpinan KEADILAN yang lain terus mendesak pertanggungjawaban dari keluarga menteri yang menggunakan dana awam untuk membeli harta peribadi.

KEADILAN Akan Bersemuka Dengan Pimpinan Tertinggi Barisan Nasional Di Mahkamah Untuk Merungkai Skandal NFC

Leave a comment

Pihak saya dan Saudara Rafizi Ramli akan mengemukakan pembelaan kami terhadap tuntutan saman berjumlah RM100 juta yang dikemukakan oleh Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil pada hari Jumaat ini, 9 Mac 2012 di Kompleks Mahkamah Jalan Duta.

Pihak saya dan Saudara Rafizi juga telah membincangkan secara mendalam mengenai strategi pembelaan kami sekiranya tuntutan saman ini diteruskan juga oleh Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil, selepas mahkamah mendengar pembelaan yang akan dikemukakan Jumaat ini.

Antara lain, saya dan Saudara Rafizi bercadang untuk memanggil kesemua pimpinan kanan negara yang pernah terlibat di dalam membuat keputusan berhubung NFC atau pernah memberikan komen mengenai NFC untuk dipanggil sebagai saksi memberikan keterangan.

Saya juga yakin bahawa apabila Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil dipanggil menjadi saksi dan disoalsiasat, beliau terpaksa mengaku bahawa beliau sendiri pernah menghabiskan masa di kondominium mewah yang dimiliki oleh keluarga mereka dan dibeli menggunakan dana awam. Itu menimbulkan persoalan besar sama ada beliau betul-betul tidak tahu menahu bahawa keluarga beliau telah menyalahgunakan dana awam untuk membeli harta peribadi, seperti keterangan beliau di dalam tuntutan saman.

Saya yakin rakyat Malaysia begitu teruja agar kes saman ini dapat dibicarakan secepat mungkin, supaya kesemua pimpinan kanan Barisan Nasional dapat diheret untuk memberikan keterangan.

Kenyataan NFC Mempertahankan Operasi Perniagaan Di Singapura Tidak Masuk Akal

3 Comments

Saya merujuk kepada kenyataan Dato’ Seri Salleh Ismail, Pengerusi Eksekutif NFC yang disiarkan laman berita The Malaysian Insider bertajuk “NFCorp Justifies Its Expansion Into Singapore” bertarikh 1 Mac 2012.

Beliau dipetik mempertahankan operasi perniagaan milik keluarganya di Singapura (setakat ini melibatkan tiga buah restoran mewah dan sebuah pasaraya mewah) yang dipercayai menggunakan dana awam RM250 juta. Beliau memberikan alasan bahawa pasaran Malaysia untuk membeli daging dari NFC terlalu kecil dan tidak dapat memenuhi pengeluaran NFC. Malah, beliau turut membayangkan hasrat NFC untuk membuka operasi di Indonesia dalam masa yang terdekat.

Saya berasa kesal kerana alasan yang diberikan tidak dapat diterima akal oleh rakyat Malaysia. NFC sehingga sekarang masih gagal untuk mencapai sasaran yang ditetapkan oleh kerajaan sebagai syarat untuk mendapatkan projek Pusat Fidlot Kebangsaan dan dana awam RM250 juta.

Berdasarkan sumber rasmi Jabatan Perkhidmatan Veterinar di laman web dan sasaran pengeluaran daging yang ditetapkan kepada NFC, perbandingan berikut boleh dibuat:

 

 

Sasaran Rasmi

Jabatan Perkhidmatan Veterinar

Pencapaian NFC

(2008 hingga 2010)

 

Output pengeluaran daging mentah menjelang 2009

50,000 tan setahun

Purata 400 tan setahun (berdasarkan purata 1,914 sembelihan setiap tahun, berat bersih daging 200 kg setiap sembelihan)

Peratusan pencapaian berbanding sasaran yang ditetapkan

–

0.8%

Jumlah lembu yang perlu disembelih oleh NFC untuk memenuhi sasaran 40% permintaan daging tempatan

800 ekor sehari

(berdasarkan berat bersih daging 200 kg setiap seekor lembu, 300 hari operasi setiap tahun)

Purata 6 ekor sehari

 

Perbezaan di antara sasaran yang ditetapkan mengikut dasar-dasar utama negara dan pencapaian NFC setakat ini jauhnya bagai langit dan bumi.

NFC tidak ada hak untuk bercakap mengenai pasaran baru diluar negara selagi ia tidak memenuhi sasaran 40% permintaan tempatan kerana itulah tujuannya NFC ditubuhkan. Malah, kenyataan Dato’ Seri Salleh Ismail bahawa pasaran tempatan terlalu kecil dan tidak mampu memenuhi pengeluaran NFC adalah satu penipuan yang menghina minda rakyat Malaysia.

Saya masih menunggu kenyataan rasmi dari NFC dan kerajaan untuk menjawab kenapa sejumlah wang rakyat dibenarkan dilaburkan dalam aktiviti perniagaan di luar negara yang tidak ada kena mengena dengan tujuan pembiayaan RM250 juta diluluskan.

Surat-surat Tun Mahathir Kepada 3 Perdana Menteri Israel

7 Comments

Seperti yang dilaporkan oleh BERNAMA

a) The following is the letter written by Dr Mahathir to Yitzhak Rabin, Prime Minister of Israel in 1993, as released by the Foreign Ministry here today.

Prime Minister Malaysia
December 21, 1993

His Excellency
Mr Yitzhak Rabin
Prime Minister of Israel
Jerusalem

I would like to thank you for your letter of 17 October informing me about the Agreement of Principles and Mutual Recognition between Israel and the PLO.

My government supports this positive development and views it as a first step towards the realization of a comprehensive solution to the Middle East problem. As a demonstration of Malaysia’s support to this development my country was represented at the Donor’s Conference to support The Middle East Peace held in Washington and subsequently pledged a modest financial contribution to the Palestinians to assist in their new tasks. My government has also offered the Palestinians technical assistance under the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme.

Malaysia as a matter of general principle is prepared to develop relations with Israel at the appropriate time. In the meantime, we would like to see tangible progress in the implementation of the peace agreement.

The Middle East problem particularly the Palestinian issue has been a cause of instability to the region and I hope the recent agreement between Israel and PLO would contribute to lasting peace to the area.

* I look forward to normal relations with Israel. (*This last sentence is handwritten)

Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad

b) The following is the letter written by Dr Mahathir to Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel in 1997, as released by the Foreign Ministry here today.

Prime Minister Malaysia
March 14, 1997

His Excellency
Mr Benjamin Netanyahu
Prime Minister of Israel
Jerusalem

Your Excellency,

Your letter dated January 23rd only reached me yesterday. I appreciate very much your taking the trouble to inform me on the situation in Palestine and the region. Unfortunately much of what you have written has been overtaken by events.

Malaysia believes in peace and in settlement of problems between neighbours through negotiations. As a last resort, we turn to third parties. In disputes over territories between Malaysia and Singapore and Malaysia and Indonesia we have agreed to get the World Court to decide. Dispute between Malaysia and Thailand over territorial waters was resolved by agreeing to share the non-marine resources equally.

Within the country, disparities in wealth distribution between the indigenous people and those of immigrant origins were resolved through affirmative action in which the have knots would have a bigger share of a growing economic cake but there would be no expropriation and redistribution of what already belonged to the descendants of immigrants. Everyone has very nearly a fair share now and everyone is fairly satisfied. Relations between the different races in Malaysia are good and not disruptive.

The important point I would like to stress is not to take what already belongs to others even though historically they may be yours. Lately, Israel has been pulling down Arab dwellings in order to erect houses for Israelis. The whole world, including your ally, the United States condemns this. But Israel has gone ahead.

You condemn Syria for making threats. But their threats are the response to your own action. If you forcibly take over land and property belonging to the Palestinians, the only response if they are not to violently act against you, is to threaten to act against you. If they cannot retaliate and they cannot voice their intended retaliation, than they would have to submit to all your action no matter how wrong. What you are doing now is against the spirit and the letter of the peace process agreed to by your predecessor. How can we trust Israel if a change in the government negates solemnly given undertakings by a Government of Israel. Please reconsider your decision to build new Jewish settlements on Arab land.

The Israeli youths are here. Our intention is to show them that Muslims are normal rational people who want to live in peace and freedom. We hope that they will have a new impression of Muslims and Islam. There will be aberrations among Muslims but there are also aberrations among Jews and Christians and people of every religion. No religion should be judged by these aberrations. We hope that the youths will understand Muslims better and will want to be at peace with them. To have peace you have to make sacrifices. The Palestinians no longer demand the elimination of Israel. They are even prepared to share Jerusalem with you. They have made sacrifices.

We should remember that when Jews were persecuted in Europe, they had always found sanctuary among Muslims in Muslim countries. We don’t regard Israelis as eternal enemies. But we cannot help but sympathise with the Palestinians because their land is being taken away from them now. It may have belonged to Jews three thousand years ago. A lot of traditional Malay land have been made part of Thailand. But we are not claiming Southern Thailand as part of Malaysia. If we go too far into the past we cannot live with our neighbours.

We are ready to have economic and technological cooperation with Israel but we cannot do so yet because you have not honoured commitments made by a legitimate Government of Israel. We would like to think that once we have established relations with you, it would be permanent.

Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad

c) The following is the letter written by Dr Mahathir to Ehud Barak, Prime Minister Elect of Israel, in 1999, as released by the Foreign Ministry here today.

Prime Minister Malaysia
June 8, 1999

His Excellency
Mr Ehud Barak Prime Minister Elect of Israel
Tel Aviv

Your Excellency,

May I extend my congratulations on your victory in the recent elections. With this impressive mandate, I hope that you and your coalition partners will be able to guide the destiny of the people of Israel at the threshold of a new Century.

I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that Malaysia has always sought peace and the settlement of problems between neighbours through negotiations. It is therefore our hope to see the mutual implementation of the agreements signed between the PLO and Israel. We also believe that if the peace process is to be salvaged, sincere and effective steps must be taken to honour commitments.

As an important partner in the peace process it is crucial for Israel to be more accommodating. The Palestinians have made major sacrifices. They no longer demand the elimination of Israel. They are even prepared to share Jerusalem with you. It is therefore timely that Israel respond positively so as to sustain the hopes of the people in both Palestine and Israel. Solemn commitments made by a previous Government must be honoured. The alternative I am afraid, would be a permanent state of conflict and regional instability extending into the next Century. This is certainly a prospect that must be avoided.

The crux of the problem is that no party should revert to the old ways of taking what belongs to others, on the one hand and instigating hatred and violence, on the other. Malaysia cannot countenance aggression by anyone, whether friend or foe. Any country that forcibly takes over land and properties of others, or demolishes dwellings belonging to others in order to set up its own settlements cannot be said to be sincere in wanting peace.

Malaysia is of the firm conviction that the security of all countries in West Asia can only be assured with the establishment of a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace in the region. This must be based on the principle of “exchange of land for peace” and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The world looks forward to Israel under your leadership, to push forward the peace process with true determination. It is my sincere hope that the attainment of a comprehensive settlement in the region would allow Malaysia to realistically envisage a positive move towards the establishment of normal relations with Israel.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad

Farmhouse Supermarket Beroperasi Di Rochester Mall, Bersebelahan Star Vista Di Singapura

1 Comment

Saya dimaklumkan mengenai penafian oleh CapitalMall bahawa kompleks membeli belah Star Vista yang sedang dimajukan tidak mempunyai apa-apa hubungan dengan Farmhouse Supermarket Pte Ltd yang dimiliki keluarga Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil.

Saya memandang berat kesilapan ini dan telah berhubung dengan rakyat Malaysia di Singapura yang banyak membantu. Semakan pada pagi ini mendapati bahawa Farmhouse Supermarket akan beroperasi di Rochester Mall bersebelahan dengan Star Vista.

Farmhouse Supermarket menyewa unit-unit bernombor #02-08 hingga #02-35 di kompleks membeli belah yang dibangunkan bersama-sama kondominium mewah di alamat 35, Rochester Drive, Singapura. Projek itu dibangunkan oleh pemaju UE One-North Developments Private Limited.

Semakan di laman rasmi Rochester Mall jelas menyenaraikan Farmhouse Supermarket sebagai salah satu penyewa mereka, seperti yang dilaporkan di laman http://www.rochestermall.com.sg/#02-08to35

Maklumat di laman itu juga mengesahkan bahawa Farmhouse Supermarket adalah penyewa terbesar di tingkat 2, berbanding kedai-kedai lain.

Saya juga berpendapat oleh kerana lokasi Rochester Mall adalah bersebelahan dengan Star Vista, anggaran sewa seperti yang didasarkan kepada laporan Competition Commission of Singapore tidaklah banyak berbeza.

Oleh yang demikian, saya percaya selain dari kesilapan alamat sebenar kompleks seperti yang saya sebutkan, keseluruhan pendedahan yang dibuat semalam adalah tepat. Kenyataan Dato’ Seri Salleh Ismail yang disiarkan oleh The Malay Mail bertarikh 29 Februari 2012 juga mengesahkan bahawa NFC tidak menafikan kewujudan pasaraya mewah ini, malah masih mempertahankan hak mereka untuk menceburi apa-apa perniagaan yang mereka rasa sesuai.

Saya memohon maaf secara terbuka kepada CapitalMall dan NFC atas kesilapan fakta yang berlaku, walaupun ia tidak memadamkan pelbagai persoalan yang timbul mengenai pembabitan NFC di dalam operasi pasaraya mewah di Singapura.
