Memang kalau orang dah jenis berniat jahat, akan tetap mencari kesalahan orang lain. Soal betul atau salah jadi nombor dua asalkan fitnah dapat di sampaikan kepada orang ramai. Kalau Malaysia hancur pun, apa dia susah sebab hasrat untuk melihat orang melayu berkubur tercapai.
Hasrat dan niat jahat ini dapat kita lihat dari temubual Tan Kee Kwong dengan 2 orang wartawan laman web yang suka mengkritik Kerajaan. Jelas apa yang dia inginkan ialah :-
1) Felda dan orang melayu terus mundur
2) Felda dan orang melayu tak perlu buat bisnes dengan orang dari luar negara
3) Felda dan orang melayu kalau nak buat bangunan, bagus buat dalam hutan sahaja
4) Felda kena simpan duit cash sahaja dan tak perlu melabur untuk untuk beli apa-apa aset
5) Felda dan orang melayu tak boleh belajar pandai-pandai
6) Memecahbelahkan sokongan peneroka terhadap Felda dan kerajaan
Baru-baru ini, beliau telah melemparkan fitnah seolah-oleh ada rundingan sulit untuk membina bangunan Felda yang baru namun fitnah ini telah di nafikan oleh Felda. Memang patut, beliau ini di saman oleh Felda.
Adakah kita sanggup membiarkan orang yang duduk dalam parti pembohong ini terus menerus menyampaikan pembohongan ini kepada rakyat? Harap dapat baca komen saya dalam bahasa merah pada temubual Tan ini...
Tan's challenge to Najib's Felda
TUE, 13 JUL 2010 17:10
By Patrick Lee and Jamilah Kamarudin
PETALING JAYA: PKR supreme council member Tan Kee Kwong was recently thrust into the political spotlight after posting an open letter to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak in early June.
In his letter, the former deputy minister of land and cooperatives accused Najib and the government of mismanaging Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) funds.
The former Segambut MP and WP Gerakan chief alleged that Felda's cash reserves had dropped by more than RM4 billion to about RM200 million this year.
Satu pembohongan yang jelas kerana duit tunai yang ada ialah RM 1.5 billion dan bukannya RM 200 juta.
Tan also questioned the need for the government-linked company to invest RM660 million in a “five-star” office building.
Government reaction to the allegation was both swift and heavy-handed. Former Felda liaison director and Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Ahmad Maslan, announced that Felda was going to sue Suara Keadilan and several PKR party leaders, including Tan, for RM200 million.
Several hours later, the party organ was summoned to the Home Ministry in Putrajaya. But the meeting was to no avail, as Suara Keadilan found its printing licence suspended.
However, no PKR party leader to date has received a letter from Felda. In a two-part interview, Tan talks to FMT about his grievances with the Najib administration.
FMT: Tell us about your time as deputy minister of land and cooperatives.
Tan: In 1999, I was given the task of answering questions about Felda. That's why I know so much about Felda. I was the only one in the administration who answered questions. We also looked after strata titles as well.
You said you're the only one who answered questions about Felda?
Yes, my minister gave me the sole responsibility.
Who was your minister at the time?
Kasitah Gaddam.
What was happening to Felda during your time as deputy minister?
Actually, Felda was a shining example of giving land to the landless. It was a scheme where they built a house, planted rubber trees and oil palm for them... 10-acre lots. And slowly over the years, they paid back. That's fine. Very, very successful.
Until about 1993, with the original settlers getting old, they (Felda) realised they cannot work on the ladang kecil anymore. So they changed their plan, and any new land opened after 1993 became Felda plantations, what they call Felda corporate.
So what did you notice?
At that time, Felda was a very fine organisation. Its chairman for many years was Raja Muhammad Alias. So we just left it alone, and it was fine.
So you just let it go on, because it obviously gave returns.
Well, you know the figures. In 2001, the assets of Felda were RM7 billion. Cash in the bank, RM4.5 billion. Loans, zero. Not one sen. How can an entity with this type of balance sheet go so wrong?
And how is it that with the record price of oil palm recently, other companies such as IOI are recording profits while Felda's cash reserves are going down? It doesn't make sense! You don't need to be an oil palm expert. What happened to the reserves?
So you think the cash reserves should be going up.
Of course! Definitely! My advice to Najib and gang is: stick to your core business. You don't need Felda Global Ventures and all that rubbish. How can you justify your six-star building? How is it going to help the settlers? Felda is about the settlers, not for making money!
Di sini kita dapat lihat bagaimana Tan ni berfikir. Dia tak nak Felda atau orang melayu lebih bagus dari bangsa lain. Pernahkah kita terfikir, sekiranya bangunan atau aset milik bangsa lain di keluarkan dari bandaraya KL, apa je yang tinggal milik orang melayu? Lepas tu dia bagi komen lagi supaya Felda hanya jaga peneroka saja dan tak perlu buat untung.... Memang jahat pemikirannya.
Najib said that the cash reserves went down, but the assets went up.
Assets, what are the assets? Don't forget: if tomorrow India doesn't want to buy your palm oil, you've got no cash flow. How are you going to run the company? And also loans from EPF. Felda is so big, why does it need loans from anybody?
Di sini dia mempersoalkan sekali lagi apa aset yang Felda ada sedangkan Felda mempunyai banyak aset yang bernilai RM 15.37 biliion. Dalam perniagaan, walaupun kita boleh beli sesuatu dengan cash, biasanya kita akan tetap membeli melalui pinjaman supaya duit tunai boleh di gunakan untuk perkara yang penting.
Felda borrowed money from EPF?
Yes. Felda Global Ventures (borrowed money)... Felda Glocal, as they say. You just stick to oil palm, day and night it will make profit for you. Why on earth do you need to go Felda Global?
How do you justify the RM500 million spent in Boston and Cincinnati? Tell us! What is Twin Rivers Technology?
Di sini, Tan cuba mempersoalkan duit RM500 juta di labur dalam syarikat ini. Apalah Tan ni, mestilah untuk mendapatkan kepakaran dan teknologinya. Mana ada orang melabur hari ini, esok dah dapat pulangan balik? Ni bukan jual benda-benda haram yang boleh dapat pulangan sekelip mata macam kawan-kawan dia kat Selangor yang dok jual pasir haram tu.
But from an outsider's point of view, it would appear Felda is doing very well...
Was! Was doing very well, until Najib took upon himself to run Felda (in 2004), (when he was) a very busy deputy prime minister, and was also minister of defence at the time; why did he want to jaga Felda? Has he got nothing to do? Why?
Kalau dalam parlimen, ini di katakan 'sangkaan jahat'. Ni dah menabur fitnah kepada PM. DS Najib di beri amanah oleh Pak Lah untuk menjaga peneroka yang menyokong Kerajaan supaya tak menyokong parti pembohong macam PKR.
But you also know a few weeks ago, some Felda settlers came over to Suara Keadilan office, and burnt some Suara Keadilan newspapers, condemning it. Do you think some settlers do not agree with what you are saying?
There are 113,000 Felda settlers. Surely you don't expect all of them to agree with you. In any organisation, there is no way everybody is going to agree with you.
But we are asking some basic questions here. Tell us the rationale of not building on your own land, where the land cost is zero. Not so far away from KLCC, you plan on building a six-star office on the land that is the most expensive in the country.
How is the building going to help the settlers? Felda has never been five or six-star. Never! Why suddenly the change in direction?
Memang jahat fikirannya ini kerana dia hanya nak kalau boleh Felda buat bangunan di dalam hutan dan tak layak di bina dekat dengan KLCC. Bagi Tan, Felda ni hanya jaga peneroka dan peneroka hanya patut duduk jaga hutan je. Peneroka tak perlu nak bermegah dengan kejayaan dan pencapaian Felda. Dia tak fikir ke yang bangunan ni dah banyak orang nak sewa? Kalau kita tengok Petronas dah menunjukkan kejayaannya dengan KLCC. kalau nak ikutkan, Petronas baik buat bangunan di pantai je. Felda pun nak juga tunjukkan kejayaannya pada dunia. Kalau nak tahu, walaupun Felda buat bangunan ni, duit tunai Felda tak menyusut pun dan masih tetap RM 1.5 billion.
(I also want to ask) what is the special relationship between Najib and Naza TTDI? How come Naza got the job of building Matrade? Matrade should have gone for an international tender.
If you compare Naza to the big-time developers in the country, such as Ho Hup, Gamuda, and all the others, Naza is a recent entry, isn't it? They're experts in cars, what do they have to do with buildings?
Naza pun kena belasah jugak.... memang Tan ni tak nak orang melayu berjaya.
You've met a lot of Felda settlers. What have they told you?
Obviously they're not very happy. Many of them are taking action. They are short-changed. A group of settlers are going to court in Negri Sembilan, while one in Kelantan went to court and won.
Some of them have called me about the RM2 billion for the replanting fund. They are asking, is our money still intact or not!? The hundreds of millions that have been deducted, is there any money left? Is the replanting fund which belongs to the settlers all directed to Felda Global Ventures?
Memanglah dia cakap macam ni, sebab dia jumpa peneroka beberapa orang je yang di bawak oleh Mazlan Aliman. Tu pun, semua peneroka yang menyokong parti pembangkang. Mereka semua ni hanya tahu kritik sebab hasil titik peluh meraka tak menjadi. Man nak berjaya kalau kerjanya bukan di ladang tapi pergi menjaja cerita keburukan orang je. Sepatutnya dia habiskan masa untuk dapatkan hasil dari apa yang di tanam.
Do you find it funny that Felda hasn't published an annual report since 2007?
Felda is supposed to be a government-linked company (GLC). As a GLC, it belongs to the people, like Petronas. Petronas also doesn't publish their accounts, so it's left for us to grope (in the dark). Those who want to know real information, can't. Why?
You don't have a proper report. You don't let us look at your accounts. All secret. Why?
Setiap GLC mesti menyiapkan laporan dan di bentangkan dalam Parlimen. Kalaulah Felda ni mempunyai rekod yang tak baik, dah lama dah kena belasah kat dalam Parlimen dan tak payah nak tunggu Annual Report. Kat dalam parlimen pun banyak pemimpin pembangkang yang boleh cakap berapi-api.
You've known about all this for a long time.
No. I minded my own business until two months ago, when somebody came up to me and told me that only RM200 million was left in the cash reserves!
Apa lu cerita ni.... pasal apa tunggu sampai 2 bulan lepas je? Kalaulah tak betul, mestilah cakap dari awal lagi. Kata ada etika dalam bekerja. Etika apa ni? Sebenarnya Tan ni sengaja nak cari nama dalam politik supaya dapat jadi calon. Maklumat yang dia dapat pun, agaknya dari Mazlan Aliman je, sebab tu dia hanya dapat RM200 juta je.
Was this man a settler?
That one I cannot tell. Obviously he was someone in the know.
Mestilah tak boleh bagi sebab maklumat tak betul. Entah-entah, dia dapat maklumat ni dari makcik kantin je.
But Husam Musa (PAS vice-president) also said that Felda lost about RM8 billion, a number far more than your own. What are your comments on that?
Government, please come out with all the figures for the past 10 years. What happened before Najib, and what happened after Najib? Give us the details. What about the RM600 million for the cattle farm?
Ni pun fitnah dan sangkaan jahat. Semuanya cakap tak serupa bikin.
About Ahmad Maslan (Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department) and the debate.
Yes, Mazlan Aliman (president of National Association of Felda Settlers' Children) challenged Ahmad to an open debate. Ahmad said, “No problem, just name the date.” Then he backed off. Why? Have a debate at Angkasapuri on all the channels, no problem!
Mazlan knows everything because he was brought up in a Felda scheme since he was two years old! So come and debate lah! If you are so smart in all the figures and everything, you should be able to tear up Mazlan to bits! Why you dare not?
Do you know why they (the government) are very upset? It is very obvious. About 45 parliamentary seats are in the settlements. Prime Minister, Felda settlers are waking up. Your fixed deposit is not so fixed.
Sekali lagi Tan mempunyai niat jahat kerana dia hanya nak tengok orang melayu ni bergaduh sama sendiri. Dia tak nak lihat orang melayu duduk berbincang dengan baik ataupun bermuzakarah. Yang penting dia boleh tengok orang melayu hancur.
Can you tell us what was the difference between Dr Mahathir (Mohamad) and Najib when it comes to Felda?
The politicians never campur tangan in Felda up to 2004. Never!
Not even Mahathir?
No! Because Raja Alias would not allow anyone to interfere with Felda.
Memanglah pada zaman Raja Alias, dasar dah di tetapkan macam tu, tapi bila Raja Alias dah tak ada pengerusi baru mempunyai idea dan wawasan untuk menaikkan Felda. Hasilnya, Felda sudah semakin berjaya dan nilai asetnya pun dah semakin banyak.
So Mahathir wasn't interested in Felda?
Not to say not interested. He didn't steal from Felda. He just let Felda run on its own, like a car would run on its own. So if it's running on its own, why do you want to jaga Felda?
Tun bukannya tak berminat tapi banyak perkara lagi yang dia nak fikirkan lagi. Jadi dia 'delegate' pada menteri-menteri lain. Takkan semua benda dia nak buat? Jadi janganlah Tan saja nak pusing-pusing cerita.
Kesimpulan dari wawancara ini jelas menunjukkan yang Tan Kee Kwong memang berniat jahat pada Felda dan orang melayu.
