UMNO-BN Using Police to Move Against Anwar Ibrahim Before 13th General Election

For the third time since 1998, the Barisan Nasional government is complicit in fabricating criminal charges in an attempt to end the political career of National Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and halt political and economic reform in this country. 

UMNO-BN are using the police force to move aggressively against Anwar Ibrahim just as the general election is about to be called. On 16 November 2011, the opposition leader was ordered to report for police questioning, and was forced to attend Kepong police station instead of performing his duties as parliamentary opposition leader. A new criminal investigation had been launched against him based on a report made by one DSP Shanmugamoorthy who had investigated Anwar’s complaint of intimidation, blackmail and criminal defamation by the ‘Datuk T’ trio. Thus, from being an aggrieved complainant, the authorities have made Anwar the accused person. The entire investigation has been carefully orchestrated by the top police leadership, with the knowledge and complicity of the Attorney General. Unusually, investigation papers were already in the A-G’s hands even before Anwar was called in for questioning. More disturbingly, although the police report was lodged in September this year, Anwar was called in only last week. This indicates hidden hands manipulating the investigation and choosing a politically opportune time to move against Anwar.
 
There is no doubt now that a massive new conspiracy is afoot to charge, try and imprison Anwar Ibrahim. In any real democracy, the opposition leader plays a key role in questioning and checking governmental action. The bringing of baseless, politically motivated criminal charges against the Leader of the Opposition is an outrage against the democratic norms that are the bedrock of our nation. UMNO-BN must cease this criminal abuse of state powers and institutions in order to undermine the opposition and cling on to political power. We call upon the BN government to drop all politically motivated investigations and prosecutions against Anwar Ibrahim and to participate in democratic politics by rational public debate and discourse.

Skandal NFC: Tiada Pertanggungjawaban Dalam Menguruskqn Dana Awam

By Anwar Ibrahim 3 Comments
Categories: Analisis, Anwar, Catatan, Ekonomi, Hebahan, Isu Semasa, KeADILan, Kewangan, Malaysia, Media, Pakatan Rakyat, Parlimen, Program and Umno

KEADILAN mengalu-alukan siasatan yang akan dibuat oleh Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Negara (PAC) dan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) terhadap pelbagai urusniaga melibatkan National Feedlot Corporation Sdn Bhd (NFC) dan Projek Fidlot Kebangsaan, seperti yang diumumkan mutakhir ini.
 
Walau bagaimana pun, isu paling pokok adalah persoalan pertanggungjawaban awal yang bermula dari Kabinet dan menteri-menteri kanan Barisan Nasional yang terlibat menganugerahkan projek bernilai RM250 juta ini kepada sebuah syarikat yang tidak mempunyai kepakaran dan pengalaman langsung. Dana awam berjumlah RM250 juta pun disalurkan tanpa ada sebarang jadual pembayaran seperti mana kebiasaannya.
 
KEADILAN menyeru supaya Perdana Menteri, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak segera membuat kenyataan mengenai skandal ini, lebih-lebih lagi apabila Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani YB Dato’ Seri Noh Omar mengejutkan negara apabila mengesahkan bahawa kelulusan projek ini tidak dibawa ke peringkat kabinet. Sebaliknya, projek berjumlah RM250 juta ini khabarnya diluluskan oleh sebuah jawatankuasa bukan kabinet yang dipengerusikan oleh Perdana Menteri sendiri.
 
KEADILAN pada hari ini boleh mendedahkan bahawa unsur penyelewengan yang mungkin berlaku di dalam NFC dan syarikat-syarikat yang berkaitan melangkaui pendedahan yang mengejutkan rakyat Malaysia selama ini.
 
Contohnya, dalam tahun 2010 NFC membelanjakan RM31,580 untuk membiayai pakej umrah di atas nama Dato’ Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail dan Wan Shahinur Izran Mohamad Salleh. KEADILAN mempunyai bukti jelas bagaimana arahan agar pembayaran bagi pakej umrah menggunakan dana awam ini datangnya dari pejabat Pengerusi Eksekutif NFC sendiri.
 
Selain perbelanjaan bersifat peribadi yang tidak sepatutnya dibiayai dana awam seperti itu, lebih membimbangkan adalah pelbagai urusniaga dan pemindahan wang yang melibatkan syarikat-syarikat milik keluarga Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil di Singapura.
 
Justeru, KEADILAN menggesa supaya PAC dan PDRM menyiasat segala urusniaga di antara NFC, NMLC dan RFC dengan syarikat-syarikat berikut di Singapura:
 
Global Biofuture Pte Ltd (200822772H) – carian syarikat disertakan bMeatworks Singapore Pte Ltd (200923276Z) – carian syarikat disertakan bersama
 
Global Biofuture Pte Ltd terlibat di dalam urusniaga makanan dan bahan api. Semakan awal menunjukkan syarikat ini dalam proses menubuhkan pasaraya di Singapura dan disyaki juga terlibat sebagai ejen untuk mengimport lembu dari luar negara melalui Singapura untuk dibekalkan kepada NFC. Semakan KEADILAN menunjukkan sehingga akhir Jun 2010, Global Biofuture Sdn Bhd berhutang dengan RFC sebanyak RM939,495.
 
KEADILAN percaya bahawa sejumlah wang disalurkan dari pinjaman asal RM250 juta kepada pelbagai syarikat-syarikat peribadi milik keluarga Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil, termasuklah untuk menubuhkan dan membiayai Global Biofuture Pte Ltd di Singapura.
 
Meatworks Singapore Pte Ltd pula bertanggungjawab menguruskan beberapa restoran mewah milik keluarga Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil di Singapura. Semakan penyata kewangan menunjukkan bahawa pada akhir Jun 2010, Meatworks Singapore Pte Ltd berhutang dengan RFC sebanyak RM2,416,815.
 
Bukti-bukti awal ini sudah cukup untuk membolehkan satu siasatan terperinci dibuat untuk menentukan sama ada penyelewengan berlaku, apabila wang rakyat yang disalurkan untuk projek nasional berimpak tinggi digunakan bagi tujuan peribadi termasuklah membuka pelbagai syarikat milik keluarga yang menyimpang dari tujuan asal pinjaman diberikan.
 
Skandal ini akan terus terbongkar dan Perdana Menteri perlu tampil memberi penjelasan memandangkan beliaulah yang bertanggungjawab mengkaji cadangan projek dan meluluskan dana awam sebanyak RM250 juta.

BN Has Become an Unbearable Tyranny, True or False?

By Anwar Ibrahim 6 Comments

Malaysia Chronicle

In a genuine democracy, a government so badly run as the Barisan Nasional’s could never have survived in power for more than 50 years. Malaysia has, in fact, been ruled by a succession of dictators since its independence from British rule in 1957.

The BN is a party like Saadam’s Ba’ath or Mubarak’s National Democratic Party. It is a tyranny clumsily dressed up as a democracy. Tyrannies are fond of playing dress-up like this; note the word ‘Democractic’ in Mubarak’s party. It was anything but that. North Korea’s supreme leader calls his party The Workers Party. If he wanted to be honest, he would call it The Starving Workers Party.

How did the BN manage to do this when in 1957 it was envisaged that Malaysia, and for that matter, later Singapore, would be run as democracies? The BN destroyed democracy in Malaysia by systematically emasculating every institution that was supposed to function as a check on it. This included the Police, the Judiciary, the Election Commission. The BN also turned the Fourth Estate into its own propaganda machine, rather than allow it to fulfill the critical role that it was supposed to play. With all this in place, the BN was free to do anything it liked. And it did.

Taib in Sarawak

Democracy cannot survive without its institutions, and in Malaysia it withered. The BN leaders were fond of asking people who were unhappy to show their dissatisfaction at the ballot box, while fully intending to rig every election. They were well aware that elections are only limited means to show discontent.

Until 2008. In 2008, so massive was disaffection with the BN and its arrogant leaders, that Malaysians in Peninsular Malaysia by huge majorities voted for the opposition. Even the BN’s large-scale cheating in the form of vote-buying and phantom voters could not stop the tide against it.

It was a different scenario in East Malaysia, where Sarawakians are deprived of any right to choose their representatives by blatant,  unashamed voter intimidation and vote-buying.

Ballot boxes are thrown into rivers and replaced by new boxes pre-filled with ‘votes’ for the BN parties. Every government agency is involved in the rigging of the Sarawak election, even Tenaga Nasional, which organizes blackouts to facilitate cheating. Even telecoms companies are involved in cutting off coverage to serve the purposes of the BN.

Instead of an elected government in Sarawak, Sarawakians have the corrupt, despotic rule of Taib Mahmud. Taib, a shriveled-up little old man, cuts a ridiculous figure when he appears with his decades-younger new wife, but has hung on to power for decades. Taib does not even bother to deny the billions amassed by his children all over the world, preferring to take a what-are-you-going-to-do-about-it approach.

Taib continues to rule Sarawak today, despite the losses his coalition suffered at the recent Sarawak state elections. Meanwhile Sarawak’s verdant forests are sold unsustainably for logs, its animals poached and its indigenous people like the Penan displaced from their life-giving forests. Vast tracts of Sarawak are now owned by the rapacious scions of Sarawak’s Taib family. Sarawak bleeds as never before.

In Sabah

Sabahans, meanwhile, are cursed with leaders who are perpetually on sale, lacking only price-tags on their foreheads. Nowhere can you buy an election as easily as you can in Sabah. When the people of Sabah threw out the arrogant Harris Salleh and replaced him with Joseph Pairin Kitingan so many years ago; Sabah appeared to shine a beacon of light for the rest of Malaysia to follow.

But that dream of freedom has long been suppressed by the machinations of the federal BN government. If there is any of the old Joseph Pairin left in him, it is time for him to make his stand against the BN, as must other Sabahans who love their land. Or Sabahans will only have once been warriors.

Rampant graft

Meanwhile, corruption runs rampant in the country, a black cloud enveloping all the land. The latest case of the NFC scandal, is brazen even by Malaysian standards. Taking a loan of RM250 million loan at a 2% interest from the government to ‘develop’ the cattle industry, Salleh Ismail then spends tens of millions buying condos in Bangsar.

Cornered, he quotes false rates of return based on impermanent cash rebates given by the developer. Not a cent of this ‘loan’ has been paid back to the government to-date. For all intents and purposes, Malaysia is out-of-pocket for RM250 million and BN Minister Shahrizat Jalil’s kin are richer by the same.

Najib vs Anwar

Najib Razak, the Prime Minister, grandstanding on Malaysia Day, announced that he would scrap the ISA. In the next breath, he announced that he would be replacing it with 2 new laws. Last week, the BN government arrested 13 people under the ISA, exposing Najib for a liar and a hypocrite. Instead of being ashamed, Najib will instead be tabling a ‘Freedom of Assembly’ bill in parliament next week. It will be a sham, to be certain.

Anwar Ibrahim, whose multi-racial PKR holds together a coalition consisting of the Islamist PAS and the Chinese-based DAP, is Malaysia’s best hope for freedom from the tyranny of the Barisan Nasional. And so, the BN continues to persecute him with blatantly fabricated charges, and tries to gag him on his speaking engagements. The BN wants to jail him before the elections, hoping that this will help them to win. It may well have the opposite effect.

Economy implodes while Najib twiddles his thumb

The economy is imploding, despite the false figures floated about by the BN. Inflation is spiraling, yet the BN claims it is at 3%. Any housewife, forced now to buy less of everything, could tell them different. Bank Negara claims the economy is doing well and then proceeds to clamp down on credit card and household loans, which will naturally affect both consumption and consumer confidence. Which will affect GDP negatively.

It is a pity they do nothing about the RM400billion debt run up by the BN administration. Instead it is compounded by a deficit budget this year, courtesy of the numerically-challenged Najib Razak.

In a free and fair election, the BN would have been thrown out of power in 2008. The election was, despite their losses, stolen by the BN. And so, for the past three years, Malaysians have suffered under the illegitimate rule of an increasingly despotic and corrupt BN.

We can only hope that the next election will mark the end of the BN, the party that has poisoned the political, social and economic life of Malaysia for so long.

Fakely Popular Najib Isn’t Man Enough For The PM’s Job

Malaysia Chronicle

Isn’t it odd that survey after survey released in the past week ostensibly indicates that Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak – he with the effeminate pink lips and holding on thanks only to a few hundred semi-literate voters in Pekan – continues to remain popular.

It’s more than a little difficult to swallow the results from such surveys, commissioned as they are by some moneybags, since Najib hesitates to secure his own mandate from the nation. Instead, he piggy-backs on the one obtained by Abdullah Badawi, his predecessor. This is indeed a contradiction in terms.

For another, the surveys – some purportedly from opposition parties and some from the government-controlled universities – seem oblivious to the fact that he has so many skeletons in the cupboard that his conscience must surely be killing him, even if slowly, by now.

To rub it in, his wife Rosmah Mansor is no asset to him in his political career. She has been implicated with him as well in his numerous scandals which have come to public notice.

He seems unable for now to rein her in; much less tell her off for not knowing her place. She comes across to the public as stubborn, bull-headed, and having a fixation with leading a lavish lifestyle at the public expense.

Altantuya will dog him for life

To be fair to the man, he could claim to be as popular as Tunku Abdul Rahman and Badawi in their better moments if not for the fact that the ghost of C4-ed Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu hangs like the proverbial sword of Damocles over his head. He can’t wish it away however much he prayed.

The killing follows him like a bad smell everywhere and that’s suicide in politics. He declined to come clean because there’s no way that he can explain himself. There is also the matter of possible corruption in the related RM7 billion Scorpenes deal.

This is why he has so far trivialized the issue instead. But he’s kidding no one. Perception is all that matters in politics.

An on-going case in a French Court is likely to make things even worse for Najib in the months to come and perhaps just before the forthcoming 13th General Elections (GE 13).

The moment that we see even Najib’s deputy, Muhyiddin Yassin, keeping himself at a good distance in public from his boss, we will know that his (Najib’s) goose is about to be cooked.

Patently, there are still many unanswered questions from the Altantuya killing: her role in the multi-billion ringgit submarine purchase from France and Spain; who erased the records of her entry into the country from the Immigration Department computers; the link between Abdul Razak Baginda, Najib’s aide and reportedly a cousin, and Altantuya; and why the two convicted killers of Altantuya are still behind bars after being sentenced to death. The Judiciary, where heads are long overdue for a rolling, will have much to explain in the wake of GE 13.

These are all questions which will surface once more during GE 13.

Sodomy II

As if the stench from the Altantuya killing isn’t enough, Najib’s reported role in the on-going Sodomy II Trial is the proverbial millstone around his neck.

It has been admitted by the parties concerned that Najib met with Saiful Bukhari, the man who has accused opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim of sodomising him. The allegation has been pooh-poohed by expert medical witnesses and seems to suggest, as Anwar has claimed, a high-level conspiracy against him along the lines of Sodomy 1.

Sodomy 1, in hindsight, was engineered by former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad who had to pay the ultimate price when he was forced out of office by an Umno revolt in the Federal Cabinet led by present Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein Onn and present Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.

Ultimately, the Court held upon appeal that Anwar did not sodomise Azizan Abu Bakar, his wife’s driver.

Even those who detest Anwar felt sorry for him and abandoned Umno even if they still declined to vote for him. Sodomy 1 cost Umno deeply at the polls.

Sodomy II, like Sodomy 1 engineered by Mahathir, will cost Umno even more dearly at the polls. Perak, stolen from Pakatan Rakyat by Umno several months after GE 12 in 2008, will return to the opposition alliance.

Terengganu and East Malaysia while Najib frolics

Perak aside, PR is set to re-capture Terengganu, add Negri Sembilan to its electoral haul, and make in-roads in Sabah and Sarawak, Umno’s so-called Fixed Deposit states because of the many illegal immigrants there on the electoral rolls. PR has been stepping up the registration of local voters to neutralise the number of illegal immigrants on the electoral rolls.

Najib has also been unable to escape the public perception that Mahathir is blackmailing him into submission at every twist and turn and corner.

This has not endeared him to the man in the street who has since come to see Mahathir for what he’s really like as a person and politician. This is a side that Mahathir kept hidden from the public for almost 22 years in public office i.e. until Sodomy 1.

History has a nasty habit of catching up

Other scandals dog Najib to complete with the Altantuya killing, Sodomy 1 and Sodomy II. These include Najib’s 11th hour betrayal of Kelantan Umno strongman Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah in the infamous 1987 Battle for the Umno Presidency with Mahathir.

Razaleigh has never forgiven him and continues to withhold his crucial support, preferring not to stand in the way of Pas, a member of the PR coalition.

The stench is equally strong as Altantuya from Abdul Razak, Najib’s father, over his (Razak’s) role in the searing Sino-Malay riots of May 13, 1969 in which Mahathir and former Selangor Menteri Besar Harun Idris were the other masterminds.

All three were also the masterminds in the ousting of Tunku Abdul Rahman as Prime Minister.

No magic can turn Najib from a Frog into a Prince

That Najib is dying a slow but sure death can be fathomed from the hundreds of millions of taxpayers money he is pouring into public relations to air brush his image. Examples are obviously the string of popularity ‘surveys’. This recent spate is with compliments from a duly thankful and grateful media chief, newly appointed and based at NST.

But so pathetic is the effort, it is outright embarrassing. As they say, never flog a dead horse. Even Houdini could not transform Najib from a FROG into a PRINCE!

Whether he admits it or not, Najib’s conscience cries out for punishment, and severe cleansing too, and it’s anybody guess how the timing and manner of his downfall will come about.

Few will shed tears for Najib as Malaysia awaits a Messiah to lead her out from the troubles which have been storing up for more than half a century. The chickens are coming home to roost as the past has caught up with us in the present to haunt the future.

Najib is the wrong man for the job.

ISA Detention of 13 Persons – Najib Lied to The Rakyat on Reforms

By Anwar Ibrahim 2 Comments
Categories: Anwar, Demokrasi, Hebahan, Isu Semasa, KeADILan, Mahkamah, Malaysia, Media, Pakatan Rakyat, Parlimen, Pilihanraya, Politik, Program and Umno

I refer to the statement by Home Minister Hishamuddin Hussein on November 19 justifying the recent ISA detentions of 13 persons in Sabah, of whom 7 are Malaysian citizens. The Minister claims that there are ” facts and background circumstances” justifying these detentions and that the detainees are “dangerous individuals.” His justifications are completely unacceptable and are in blatant breach of the Prime Minister’s solemn promise to the rakyat that the current oppressive system will be reformed. If the Minister has such cogent evidence of the wrongdoing of these persons, why not charge them in open court? These detentions prove the utter dishonesty of the Prime Minister when he made his pledge of reform on the 16th of September this year. It is clear that the announcerment of the reforms was another cheap trick to win votes in the coming General election and that Najib had no intention of returning to the the rakyat the fundamental freedoms promised under the Federal Constitution. In short, Najib had perpertrated a massive, televised fraud upon the nation when he made his reform pledge on Malaysia Day this year. 
 
In an attempt to justify detention without trial, Hishamuddin also said that other countries such as the US have such preventive laws to deal with terrorism. This is a disgraceful, lying attempt by Hishamuddin to mislead the rakyat. In contrast to Malaysia, the Patriot Act does not allow US citizens to be detained without trial; only non-US citizens can be detained, and only up to 7 days. UK, Australia and Canada anti-terrorism provisions are extremely limited. In Australia and the UK detention is allowed up to 14 days detention, whereas Canada allowed preventive detention only for 72 hours. Even these limited preventive laws have come under severe criticism in the respective countries.The trend in the West is to progressively reduce preventive detention powers. There has been no preventive detention law in Canada since 2007, when the Canadian parliament declined to renew it. In the UK, the previous detention limit of 28 days was reduced to 14 days earlier this year. Contrary to Hishamudin’s attempt to mislead the rakyat, there are no ISA-like anti-terrorist laws existing in advanced Western countries. We call upon Prime Minister Najib and the BN government to:
 
i) immediately release the 13 detainees;

ii) undertake not to carry out any more ISA detentions;

iii) immediately repeal the ISA and all other preventive detention laws; and

iv) retract their plans to replace the ISA with two new preventive detention laws.

Skandal NFC: Soal Pertanggungjawaban Dan Amanah Adalah Isu Pokok

By Anwar Ibrahim 2 Comments
Categories: Analisis, Anwar, Demokrasi, Ekonomi, Hebahan, Isu Semasa, KeADILan, Kewangan, Malaysia, Media, Pakatan Rakyat, Parlimen, Penerbitan, Pilihanraya, Politik, Program and Umno

Saya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pengurusan NFC yang akhirnya tampil memberi penerangan setelah KEADILAN membuat pendedahan mengenai penyelewengan dan kegagalan Projek Fidlot Kebangsaan. Saya kira akhirnya pengurusan NFC akur dengan saranan yang dibuat oleh mantan Perdana Menteri, Tun Abdullah Badawi dan Timbalan Perdana Menteri, YAB Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin kerana skandal ini benar-benar menggoncang keyakinan rakyat kepada pimpinan politik kerajaan.

Saya juga ingin menegaskan di sini bahawa kesemua kenyataan yang dibuat oleh Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Salleh Ismail, Pengerusi Eksekutif NFC dan suami Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil di media perdana semalam tidak sekali-kali menafikan pendedahan-pendedahan yang dibuat KEADILAN, seperti berikut:

  1. Dana RM250 juta telah dimasukkan ke dalam akaun NFC
  2. Kos seekor lembu yang diternak NFC dalam tahun 2009 berjumlah RM4,481 setiap ekor
  3. Diskaun berjumlah RM2.9 juta diberikan dalam tahun 2009 termasuk kepada Restoran Meatworks milik keluarga Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil
  4. NFC mencatat kerugian sejumlah RM7 juta (2008) dan RM11 juta (2009)
  5. Dana dari NFC disalurkan kepada NMLC dan RFC yang dimiliki sepenuhnya oleh keluarga Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil
  6. Penyalahgunaan wang dari dana untuk membeli unit-unit kondominium di One Menerung, Bangsar
  7. NFC mendapat pinjaman mudah sejumlah RM250 juta
  8. NFC membelanjakan sejumlah RM827,579 bagi lawatan-lawatan ke luar negara dan elaun keraian
  9. Projek Pusat Fidlot Kebangsaan mendapat bantahan dari pegawai-pegawai kementerian

Kenyataan NFC semalam hanya memberi alasan kenapa penyelewengan-penyelewengan seperti yang didedahkan KEADILAN berlaku.

Malah, tiga pengakuan Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Salleh Ismail mengesahkan keresahan rakyat bahawa anugerah projek ini kepada sebuah syarikat milik keluarga menteri kanan mempunyai unsur-unsur penyelewengan.

Beliau mengakui[1] bahawa NFC tiada kepakaran dan pengalaman untuk mengendalikan projek ini sehingga menyebabkan syarikat menghadapi masalah operasi dan kewangan. Perbandingan rekod operasi NFC seperti di bawah jelas menunjukkan bahawa NFC bukanlah syarikat yang berkelayakan untuk mengendalikan projek berimpak tinggi dan mendapat pembiayaan RM250 juta:

2008

(tahun pertama)

 2009
Jumlah lembu dibeli dari Australiadan dibawa masuk

4,141 ekor

-
Diberikan kepada Jabatan Perkhidmatan Veterinar

245 ekor

-
Lembu mati atas kapal sebelum sampai ke Malaysia

8 ekor

-
Lembu mati dalam perjalanan ke Pusat Fidlot

15 ekor

-
Lembu yang terpaksa disembelih akibat bermasalah

45 ekor

56 ekor
Lembu yang mati di Pusat Fidlot 42 ekor 78 ekor
Lembu yang dihadiahkan kepada pihak lain

11 ekor

3 ekor
Lembu yang disembelih untuk dijual 113 ekor 1,562 ekor
Jumlah lembu yang mati/rugi berbanding lembu yang dijual 121 ekor

(nisbah 1:1)

 137 ekor

(nisbah 1:11)
Anggaran kerugian akibat lembu mati/dicuri RM542,201 RM613,897

Dalam temuramah dengan Berita Harian[2] pula, beliau mengakui bahawa perjanjian pinjaman RM250 juta “tidak menyatakan jadual pembayaran balik”. Ini mengesahkan pendedahan KEADILAN sebelum ini bahawa walaupun dana RM250 juta disebut sebagai pinjaman, ia lebih berupa geran kerana NFC tidak dikenakan sebarang jadual pembayaran atau caj faedah seperti pinjaman biasa.

Saya juga kesal dengan kenyataan Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Salleh Ismail yang bukan sahaja tidak menyangkal pendedahan KEADILAN mengenai pembelian kondominium mewah menggunakan dana rakyat, malah mengesahkan bahawa dana yang diselewengkan adalah lebih tinggi dari yang didedahkan minggu lepas. Pembelian dua unit kondominium mewah di unit B1-1 dan B1-2 di Tingkat 1, Blok B One Merenung sebenarnya membabitkan perbelanjaan RM13.8 juta.

Ketiga-tiga pengakuan NFC ini mengingatkan rakyat bahawa isu pokoknya adalah soal kebertanggungjawaban menteri dan kerajaan menjaga wang rakyat. Ketiga-tiga pengakuan tersebut mendedahkan:

  1. Bagaimana projek negara diberikan kepada keluarga menteri yang langsung tidak mempunyai latar belakang dan kepakaran di dalam bidang penternakan komersil;
  2. Dana RM250 juta diberikan begitu sahaja tanpa ada syarat-syarat ketat dan pemantauan walaupun ia dipanggil pinjaman; dan
  3. Sejumlah RM13.8 juta diselewengkan sewenang-wenangnya untuk membeli hartanah yang akhirnya menjadi milik keluarga menteri kerana NMLC milik keluarga Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil sepenuhnya.

Oleh itu, KEADILAN menggesa supaya Perdana Menteri bertindak segera menjawab sama ada berlaku penyelewengan semasa penganugerahan projek ini kepada NFC dan menerangkan penglibatan Dato’ Seri Shahrizat Jalil dalam proses membuat keputusan kerajaan bersabit projek ini.

Kesemua keterangan lain yang dibuat NFC semalam akan dihuraikan dalam satu sidang media khas di lobi Parlimen hari Isnin ini jam 1130 pagi melibatkan YB Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, YB Zuraida Kamaruddin dan saya sendiri, untuk membolehkan kami meneliti semua maklumat dan dokumen yang kami ada setakat ini.

“Janji untuk menghapuskan tahanan ISA tidak mencukupi. Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib mesti membuktikan beliau mahu menamatkan amalan itu,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.
