Investigate Lah!

We know HOW, but Who, What, When, Where & Why? 


This is the latest BURNING issue among students and concerned parents in Penang. 


The 16 year old son of a prominent politician, a VVIP so to say, is said to have been sacked from a Chinese secondary school on the island after the boy was found to have fondled a female student in SMJK Heng Ee. 


Pro-Opposition blogs were among the first to pursue this felony following unconfirmed news that the VVIP had paid the more than 200,000 ringgit to the victim's family. Basically the 200,000 ringgit is to SHUT their mouth.


It was claimed that the VVIP had also managed to get a place for his son in another school - Sekolah Menengah St Xavier. 


When the issue became the talk of town, the overzealous pro-Opposition blogs which were all the while insinuating that the VVIP was a Penang Barisan Nasional politician, suddenly stopped even a slight mention of this juicy 'breasts fondling' matter.


Several Penang-based independent bloggers have since picked up the issue following a series of serious allegations that the culprit was actually the son of a Batu Pahat born VVIP (currently on duty on the island of Penang).


These latest allegations have raised a few pertinent questions - 


1 - Did such an act (fondling of a school girl) actually take place in one of the prestigious Chinese schools in Penang?


2 - If indeed there was such an act of gross misconduct bordering criminality in a prestigious school in Penang, did the school authority institute any form of action against the culprit? 


3 - If indeed the school had sacked the boy, as initially claimed by some pro-Opposition blogs,  how did he manage to get into another prestigious Chinese school in Penang?


4 - Is it true that the Batu Pahat-born VVIP father of the boy had paid-off the female student and her family via a third party? 


5 - Is it also true that a prominent businessman had, through the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, contributed a few MILLION RINGGIT to the school in which the alleged 'fondling' took place - this time to shut the school authorities mouth?   


6 - Did the school in which the alleged incident took place, file an official report to the Education Department?




Below is one of the blog posts with some sketchy details and damning allegations. 






Kes ini berlaku sekitar bulan May sebelum cuti sekolah. Dikhabarkan anak VVIP DAP si Marcus@ LWT telah meraba buah dada rakan sekolahnya,keduanya berumur 16 tahun. 


Mangsa melapurkan kepada guru displin dan Marcus di panggil mengadap. Dengan angkuh dan sombongnya dia berkata "apa you boleh buat,I anak CM!" Cerita ini menjadi heboh dan mangsa mengugut untuk membuat laporan polis.

Berlaku campur tangan orang tua marcus ,untuk mengelakkan cerita ini heboh Marcus dibuang sekolah dan ditukarkan dari SMJK Heng Ee ke Sekolah Menengah St Xavier.

Orang tua Marcus bertemu dengan mangsa dan keluarganya untuk menyelesaikan kes dan mahu menutup isu ini dari pengetahuan umum. Dikhabarkan ketika itu jumlah tuntutan mencecah 500ribu,setelah berunding dengan keluarga mangsa jumlah itu dikurangkan kepada RM200 ribu.

AND... The often vociferous Malaysiakini is saying :- Guan Eng mum over blog disparaging VVIP's son

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has declined to answer allegations in pro-Umno blogs that a VVIP’s son was involved in a case of outraging the modesty of his female schoolmate.
Lim, who is DAP national secretary-general, has challenged Umno instead to publish the allegations in “their newspapers”.

“Let Umno publish the news first, then you will see what I will do,” said Lim during a press conference in Penang today.

“What happens now is they make allegations, then I reply (baling batu, sembunyi tangan). Why should I reply to them every time?” he asked.

Lim said he has better things to do then to reply to each and every allegation or speculation against him.

Earlier, when contacted, Lim’s wife, Betty Chew, also declined to comment, saying, “Please ask CM about it”.

The Penang media fraternity was abuzz today with  news of a VVIP’s son who has allegedly been caught for alleged sexual harassment of a female schoolmate.

The unsubstantiated allegations are going viral among pro-Umno bloggers, and that the identity of the VVIP has been speculated to be that of Lim.

It was claimed that his 16-year-old son had been recently transferred from a Chinese school, Heng Ee, to the well-known St Xavier’s Institution recently due to alleged disciplinary problems.

However, the school has denied the allegation, saying there was no truth in the rumours.

The issue was first higlighted in a pro-Umno blog where the blogger Dr MiM - who blogs atnovandri.blogspot - said that many had already speculated about the identity of the boy.

He added that pro-opposition bloggers are “biting their fingers” because the VVIP is not from BN but from “their own species”.

“If you are wondering who is this VVIP from Penang - he knows calculation and mathematics that he is able to calculate (set a price) at RM100,000 for each breast groped by his son?” quipped the blogger.

‘Transfer carried out according to procedure’

Meanwhile, a source from Heng Ee school said Lim’s son had indeed been transferred to another school but that the process was carried out according to proper procedure.

He denied allegations that the boy was moved to St Xavier’s Institution due to disciplinary problems, as alleged.

“He was a prefect and has done quite well in the academic field. We did not want him to leave. Even his parents did not want him to leave but he preferred to study in another school,” said the reliable source, who requested anonymity.

The source said he was quite surprised to hear about the allegations in the blog.

The blog has published a photo of the girl, but the source denied that it was the individual allegedly involved.

***************

Attempts by members of the mainstream media to get comments from the school authorities have been futile as the standard answer was - 'No Comments". 

But why 'no comments'? This just adds fuel to the fire.

The school concerned should either deny or confirm this matter since its a very serious issue. (Malaysiakini's self created SOURCES from Komtar doesn't answer any of the questions)

Parents are now worried about the safety of their children, in particular their school going daughters, as schools are said to be covering up serious crimes for the right amount of 'compensation'?

There are no two ways about it. The school authorities must come clean before more serious crimes like rape and murder takes place within the confines of  our schools.

The Education Ministry MUST order an immediate investigations into this latest fondling-scandal involving a VVIP's son in Penang. 

It is the responsibility of the Minister of Education and/or his officers to instruct the state Education Department to furnish a detailed report of this incident as it has clearly tarnished the image of Chinese schools in Penang and those administering them.

GLC: GANGSTERS linked companies?

Excerpts of Bayan Baru MP Dato Seri Zahrain Hashim's speech in Dewan Rakyat yesterday while debating the 2012 Budget - Supply Bill.

Tuan Yang DiPertua,

Kontroversi berkenaan syarikat berkaitan kerajaan atau GLC nampak-nya tidak pernah reda sejak kepimpinan terdahulu.

Jika dahulu sebuah syarikat kecil seperti ECM Libra dibenarkan ‘menelan’ syarikat milik kerajaan Avenue Capital tanpa penjelasan ynag sewajarnya, kini muncul pula beberapa kes yang baru.

Pembelian 30% saham E&O Berhad oleh Sime Darby Berhad untuk satu jumlah yang tidak masuk akal sama-sekali harus di-siasat pihak kerajaan kerana terdapat pelbagai bukti kukuh yang menunjukkan ke-arah jenayah komersial, iaitu ‘insider trading’.

Isu penukaran saham atau penggabungan MAS dan penerbangan tambang murah Air Asia, seperti yang di-utarakan rakan saya YB Wangsa Maju, juga menjadi suatu tanda tanya yang besar.

Saya berpendapat isu ECM Libra dan Avenue Capital masih belum selesai dan harus di-siasat semula bersama Sime Darby – E&O, MAS – AirAsia serta kontroversi yang melibatkan Pengerusi Suruhanjaya Sekuriti Tan Sri Zarinah Anwar serta suaminya Datuk Azizan Abdul Rahman - kerana individu yang sama kelihatan terbabit dalam kontroversi – kontroversi terkini.

Tuan Yang DiPertua,

Sepertimana yang di-cadangkan untuk menjamin penerimaan sepenuhnya dasar transformasi di kalangan penjawat awam, pegawai tertinggi GLC juga harus di-pantau dengan lebih dekat agar kuasa ynag melampau tidak menjurus ke-arah amalan rasuah dan salahguna kuasa.

Pegawai GLC yang terbukti menyeleweng harus di-ambil tindakan yang tegas agar ianya menjadi pengajaran kepada yang lain, manakala yang di-ketahui terlibat dalam kes penyelewengan tetapi kurangan bukti untuk di-sabitkan kesalahan harus di-pindahkan serta-merta ke-jawatan lain.

Baru-baru ini timbul pula ura-ura tentang penyalahgunaan kuasa yang berleluasa serta penyelewengan dalam syarikat GLC telekom Malaysia Berhad.

Mungkin Menteri yang berkenaan boleh menjawab, apakah benar Menara TM di Bangsar serta Menara Celcom di Jalan Semarak (kedua-duanya milik TM) telah di-jual?

Saya harap cerita ini hanya khabar angin sahaja namun berdasarkan tingkahlaku mereka yang menerajui GLC – GLC kita yang lain, saya tidak terkejut langsung dengan khabar ini.

Sekali lagi saya ingin mendesak agar skandal penggabungan ECM Libra dan syarikat GLC Avenur Capital di-siasat semula kerana adalah mustahil untuk mana-mana pihak untuk menguasai sebuah GLC dengan asset tunai melebihi 3 BILLION ringgit tanpa apa-apa bayaran tunai, walaupun 1 ringgit.

Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Wang Negara pernah menyiasat skandal ECM Libra – Avenue Capital ini namun kesudahan-nya agak terbantut dan isu-isu yang kontroversi masih belum terjawab sehingga hari ini.

Saya mendesak agar Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Wang Negara membuka kembali fail lama ini bagi mengelak GLC lain daripada menjadi mangsa permainan silap-mata yang serupa.

Janganlah wujud keadaan di-mana penjawat awam bergaji rendah harus patuh kepada segala garis panduan dan tatacara manakala yang menerima imbuhan ratusan ribu ringgit bebas menyeleweng syarikat kerajaan dengan bantuan penyangak dari luar. 


Issues pertaining GLCs is once again in the limelight. Not that the GLCs have transformed inline with the GTP but there seems to be increased participation or rather manipulation by a few individuals with notorious background.


It is rather brave for MP Zahrain to dabble into these serious issues plaguing GLCs and the Government. 


Mysterious deals highlighted in Parliament yesterday casts a bad image of the GLCs and by extension the Government led by PM Najib Razak.


Is PM in the know of these mysteries in our GLCs? 


Zahrain is proposing for the Public Accounts Committee to grab the bull by the horn and investigate some recent deals, in particular those involving Sime Darby and E&O and MAS & Air Asia.


The Securities Commission too has been under the spotlight for quite sometime but maybe that would be settled with latest unconfirmed news that Tan Sri Zainah Anwar may resign soon, voluntarily, to enable her husband to remain active in the corporate world.


Another point to be noted in the parliamentarian's debate was his demand for the Public Accounts Committee to re-visit the controversial ECM Libra - Avenue Capital merger.


Has the PAC under the current leadership mustered sufficient guts to go after the BIG FISH? 


Lets wait and see if GLC still stands for Government linked companies or otherwise. 

Hoi, please lah!

Kelantan Mentri Besar dan Pas spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has made it clear, once again, that Hudud will be implemented in Kelantan.

Speaking at PAS’ 60^th anniversary celebrations in Kepala Batas last Saturday, Nik Aziz reiterated his stand and expressed confidence that if Pakatan Rakyat takes over the Federal government, they would amend the Federal Constitution to enable the implementation of Hudud in all states.

In the same breath, Nik Aziz said the Islamic syariah (criminal) law would not be applicable for non-Muslims.

PAS president Datuk Seri Hadi Awang echoed his spiritual leader, stressing that PAS would continue to champion Hudud despite the overwhelming objection from within Pakatan Rakyat.

Pakatan Rakyat leaders failed to reach a consensus or spell out a clear solution during their meeting (last Wednesday) on Hudud in Kelantan, as insisted by Nik Aziz.

While DAP, in particular its chairman Karpal Singh, stands firm in rejecting Hudud in any part of Malaysia as ‘Hudud was against the Constitution, there has been no clear stand on the issue from the other partner, PKR.

Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who spoke after the contentious meeting on Wednesday merely stated that all three parties would abide by the Constitution and their common framework as spelt out in Buku Jingga.

The next day, Nik Aziz thanked both PKR and DAP for respecting PAS’ ideology and reiterated that Hudud will be implemented in Kelantan and that the non-Muslims would not be subjected to the harsh punishment under the Syariah criminal law.

Except for Karpal who in unwavering in his objection against any form of Hudud anywhere in Malaysia, the rest of the DAP and PKR leaders seem to be either silent or are busy trying to sidestep the issue by conveniently blaming Barisan Nasional for their dilemma.

I have a few straightforward questions for PAS, PKR, DAP and their leaders.

You guys could chose to answer these questions as Pakatan Rakyat or as individual party leaders but please, please don’t confuse us with your answers.

I’m sure you guys still remember how to talk straight, free from your usual spinning-the-gasing style rite? 

1.  What is your stand on the implementation of Hudud in this 

     country?

2.  Will Hudud be implemented in Kelantan?

3.  Why is it that you guys keep sending starkly different signals on 

     a daily basis?

4.  If Hudud is clearly against our constitution, why even talk about 

     it in the first place?

5.  Would you guys amend the constitution to pave way for Hudud if 

     PR takes control of the federal government?  Just tell us whether 

     it is a YES or NO.

6.  If the answer to Q No: 5 is a solid YES, why don’t you guys say it 

    out aloud so the voters could make a choice?

7.  If the answer to Q No: 5 is truthfully a NO, why don’t you guys  

     say exactly that and stop all this confusing double-talk ?

8.  Could you guys please decide on who has the final say (within  

     PR) about this contentious matter and not allow Nik Aziz to drag    

     us in and out of his turban?

9.  Once again, please give us a straight answer lah okay? Just say 

     Yes or No.

   

I really don’t know how to explain this Hudud drama to my 18 year old boy who thinks you PR politicians are idiots who can’t solve a simple matter.  I can’t blame my boy rite?
