It’s ‘our’ money, not yours

sun2surf - TWENTY-EIGHT days before Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo was unseated as Selangor mentri besar, he asserted that the Selangor Economic Development Corporation (PKNS) was a private company and that its money and assets do not belong to the people.

At a pow-wow over lunch with this writer and his colleagues, he charged: “You wrote that the fine paid by PKNS was people’s money. No, PKNS is a private company.” (For the record, PKNS was imposed fines totalling RM330,000 for illegal clearing of land around the Bukit Cahaya Agricultural Park and at all material times, Mohd Khir was its chairman.)

Then he made a remarkable statement: “The fine goes back to the state coffin! (I’m sure he meant “coffers” but those at the lunch looked stunned when he used the word a second time). The money comes back to us.” Not wanting to argue with someone who has little knowledge of where the fines imposed by a court of justice end up and not wanting to give him a free lesson in financial procedures, I reserved my comments.

Today, PKNS is in the news again. Here’s a summary of what it paid out to Balkis, the organisation of wives of state assemblymen and MPs in Selangor.

• RM218,719 for the opening ceremony of Komplex Wawasan Balkis;

• RM200,000 for the Balkis dinner;

• RM10,000 for a table at the same dinner; and

• RM161,660 for programmes organised by Balkis.

"Meanwhile, it is learnt that Abdul Khalid had in his letter to the ROS on Wednesday (April 23) said of the amount in Balkis’ accounts, about RM850,000 was donated by state government companies – Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Bhd which gave RM268,862 last year and Perbadanan Kemajuan Negri Selangor (PKNS) which contributed RM590,379.50 between 2006 and 2007.

It is understood that Abdul Khalid is also investigating the transfer of 43,560sq ft of land in Section 7, Shah Alam, which the state government had in 2002 offered to Balkis at a nominal cost of RM250,000 (RM5.74/sq ft) for the setting up of a shelter home for women that cost RM5 million." - sun2surf

No2umnO - Apakah yang cuba disembunyikan oleh Datin Seri Zaharah, sehingga menyebabkan penutupan Persatuan dan pemindahan wang.....Terdapat kaitan pertubuhan ini dengan PKNS dan pinjaman juga ujud. Adakah ianya ada kaitan dengan penjualan tanah yang mengaitkan nama Khir Toyo di dalamnya? Adakah ianya menyebab Khir Toyo beriya iya mahu jatuhkan Dollah Badawi dan sekarang Khir Toyo sudah senyap selepas ketakutan akibat perubahan dan rombakan BPR dan Sistem kehakiman?

Semuanya mungkin ada kaitan dan kita nantikan Persidangan Dewan Negeri dan penyiasatan terhadap isu ini. Bertambah menarik kerana sekiranya ia ada kaitannya dengan PKNS, bermakna Kerajaan baru negeri Selangor boleh bertindak.

Khir Toyo siap lah kamu...
