(...) Here’s some choice quotes:
While Balkis has done its bit for the less fortunate – its most visible contribution being the setting up of Kompleks Wawasan Balkis (KWB) its RM5 million secretariat which doubles as a women’s shelter in Shah Alam – some of its programmes raise the question if Balkis’ philanthropy is a façade for a group of VIPs to enjoy themselves at the expense of generous donors who included state government subsidiaries.
In the eight years that Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo has been mentri besar, his wife and Balkis president Datin Seri Zaharah Kechik (above) has led delegations to Europe, Hongkong and Australia. According to sources in the state government, these trips were listed as among Balkis’ annual activities but had nothing to do with charity.
Some more can tell people they are worried the new Selangor government won’t use the money properly. Ptui!
And better still: “…newlyappointed state executive councillors Teresa Kok and Elizabeth Wong who had gone to the Balkis secretariat to seek information and collect fi les were refused entry. Staff had been “instructed” not to allow access to the office.”
Hoi, these are state government officials, okay? Not some salesman selling colouring books!
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of people who say one thing but do something else altogether, aren’t you? For complete article : Click
