Menteri Pelancongan, Datuk Azalina Othman memberitahu Dewan Rakyat hari ini bahawa juruaudit luar telah dilantik untuk menyiasat dakwaan penyelewengan dalam Pempena Sdn Bhd - sebuah anak syarikat Tourism Malaysia.

Menjawab soalan Wee Choo Keong (PKR-Wangsa Maju), beliau berkata, ia telah diarahkan supaya menyiasat secara terperinci pelbagai dakwaan dalam laporan Malaysiakini pada 2 Julai lalu.

Dakwaan tersebut, yang terkandung dalam satu memorandum, turut mendakwa berlaku rasuah, penyelewengan dan pecah amanah oleh pegawai-pegawai kanan syarikat tersebut.

Dalam memorandum tersebut - salinannya turut dihantar kepada Azalina - beberapa kakitangan mendakwa beberapa keputusan yang dibuat oleh pegawai-pegawai kanan tersebut, yang membabitkan jutaan ringgit dana pembangunan pelancongan, telah masuk ke kantung pihak-pihak lain.

Hari ini, Azalina menjawab perkara tersebut walaupun Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia menasihatkan beliau tidak perlu menjawabnya kerana menurutnya, laporan tersebut belum disahkan.

Azalina berkata, laporan tersebut membangkitkan beberapa dakwaan penyelewengan dan beliau telah mengarahkan juruaudit luar supaya menyiasatnya.

Katanya, tindakan sewajarnya akan diambilnya jika didapati berlaku sebarang penyelewengan.

Menurutnya, ia juga akan mengadakan semakan perniagaan untuk mengkaji keputusan-keputusan terdahulu yang dibuat oleh lembaga pengarah syarikat berkenaan.

Azalina: Probe into Pempena deals
Jul 9, 2008 7:42pm

Tourism Minister Azalina Othman told Parliament today that internal auditors have been appointed to probe allegations of corrupt practice in Pempena Sdn Bhd, a tourism development company.

Responding to Wee Choo Keong (PKR-Wangsa Maju), she said the firm has been told to thoroughly investigate various allegations reported in Malaysiakini on July 2.

The allegations were made in a memorandum and included claims of graft, irregularities and criminal breach of trust by senior officials in the company, a subsidiary of Tourism Malaysia.

In the document, a copy of which was sent to Azalina, several employees had related a series of decisions by the duo that allegedly diverted millions of ringgit in tourism-development funds into private pockets.

Today, Azalina addressed the matter although speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia advised that she need not respond to the question since the news report “has yet to be validated”.

“The news report highlighted some irregularities. I have instructed internal auditors to investigate. If there are irregularities, we will address them,” responded Azalina.

She added that the firm will also conduct a review to study previous decisions of the company’s board of directors.

Answer 'not satisfactory'

Asked to comment, Wee said he was not satisfied with the minister’s answer.

“The memo was sent on March 24 and the ministry has had time to investigate the matter. She should have informed the board of directors sooner and they should have lodged a report with the Anti-Corruption Agency and police earlier,” he said.

He also said the matter should have been resolved by now as Pempena is an important arm of Tourism Malaysia.

“I will keep bringing up the matter until we squeeze the answer out of them. I won't give up,” he added.

Pempena employees claimed that the two senior officials had:

= pocketed commissions when refinancing luxury vehicles for a high-end tourist taxi service;

= approved several contracts to RM2 companies supplying services for tourism-based projects;

= over-stated the cost of creating an e-tourism portal by about RM5 million; and

= bypassed Pempena board of directors in ‘investing’ in a restaurant project in Melbourne.
One of the persons implicated, financial controller Lim Khing Tai has denied the allegations, claiming that he is a victim of racism “in a Malay-dominated government-linked company”.

Tourism duo linked to 'dubious deals'

Two senior officials of a government-linked company have been implicated in a series of scams that have allegedly diverted millions of ringgit in tourism-development funds into private pockets.

The duo are key figures in Pempena Sdn Bhd, or the national tourism development company. It was set up in 1976 by Tourism Malaysia, an agency of the Tourism Ministry.

They are said to have:

= pocketed commissions when refinancing luxury vehicles for a high-end tourist taxi service;


= approved several contracts to RM2 companies supplying services for tourism-based projects;


= over-stated the cost of creating an e-tourism portal by about RM5 million; and


= bypassed the Pempena board of directors in ‘investing’ in a restaurant project in Melbourne.
An insider said dissatisfied staff-members of Pempena had submitted a memorandum dated March 24 to current Tourism Minister Azalina Othman, but have not received a response to date.

(Azalina, was appointed to the portfolio after the March 8 general election, but all the allegations are rooted in events that took place last year, when the Tourism Malaysia board of directors was helmed by former minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.)

The memorandum named accountant Lim Khing Tai and senior business development manager Raja Norsan Raja Nasron as the main persons behind the alleged scams.

It also claimed that chief executive officer Razali Mohd Daud, who is also deputy director-general of Tourism Malaysia's promotions department, had done nothing despite having received complaints.

“Pempena is in poor financial shape compared to 2003, when it had RM50 million for tourism development projects. It now faces several high risk non-profitable investments,” said the source, who gave Malaysiakini a copy of the memorandum.

“The staff are angry because all this is due to corruption, criminal breach of trust and abuse of power by top managers.

According to the memorandum, the RM2 companies were not examined properly for their track-record and background before the investment decisions were made, “which goes against company and financial institution rules”.

“An accountant is professionally bound not to be involved in all tender-related matters, but Lim appointed his people to the tender committee in order to get projects for companies in which he has an interest,” alleged the source.

When contacted for a second time on Monday, Lim denied all the allegations and suggested that he was being targeted by "racists" in Pempena. An independent probe is underway, he said.

The other two officials could not be reached for comment since last Friday. Their personal assistants claimed that they were busy with meetings.

Accusations in memorandum

The nine-page memorandum, entitled ‘Current Issues in Pempena Sdn Bhd’, was signed by 20 employees. Copies were sent to the four-member Pempena board of directors, and 11 directors of the Tourism Malaysia board.

It outlined the main accusations. Specific details were missing from some of the points, but the source filled in a few of the gaps.

Luxury taxi project

Early last year, Tourism Malaysia approved RM5 million to provide a first-class taxi service - known as Pempena Executive Taxi - for the use of high-end tourists in Kuala Lumpur.

According to the memorandum, Lim had an interest in the companies picked to supply the 30 luxury vehicles “and the contract was awarded to non-bumiputera companies”.

“Then six months later, he applied for re-financing of the cars through a bank. He made a profit from the commission accruing from this transaction, which should have gone into Pempena’s accounts,” said the source, who could not specify the sum involved.

Also alleged was that Lim had assigned seven of the 100 luxury cars - two Naza Ria, two Mercedes Vito and three Mercedes Benz E200K - for private use.

The contract to convert the cars into taxis - including installing a NGV system - was also given to suppliers close to Lim, stated the memorandum.

Contracts for services

Lim and Raja Norsan were also implicated in approving contracts to companies created to supply services for four tourism-based projects.

One project allegedly involved an up-front payment of RM1 million to a communication development company. However, details were not available.

Similar payments were approved last September to set up the Langkawi International Fashion Zone - a fashion hub - and MAS BE, a chartered airline operating China-bound flights.

“In the Langkawi International Fashion Zone project, Lim managed to get companies affiliated to him to act as suppliers of equipment with the help of Raja Norsan and his minions,” said the source.

“A contract for renovations under the same project was granted directly to the contractor instead of being put through an open-tender process. The cost ballooned, and Lim did not provide any proper justification to the board of directors.”

The source questioned why the MAS BE project was used to fly tourists to China, when Tourism Malaysia had allocated RM600,000 for a promotional programme to bring tourists to Malaysia.

A few months after the payment was received, “the venture died and no one has questioned what has happened to it”.

E-tourism portal project

The memorandum further claimed that Lim and Raja Norsan had manipulated the use of RM10 million allocated by the Tourism Ministry to set up an e-Tourism portal.

“Only RM2.5 million was spent on the venture, and the rest has disappeared into thin air,” claimed the source.

“Lim’s involvement was exposed by Pempena’s legal officers, when they were drawing up the contract documents for the company appointed to handle the project.”

The source did not have further details on what happened subsequently.

Restaurant in Melbourne

The duo was also said to have opened a restaurant in Melbourne, Australia, last year by using Pempena’s name to obtain a bank loan of RM500,000.

“However, the project was not approved by the board of directors and it was carried out in collaboration with a company that had been blacklisted by Bank Negara,” claimed the source, without revealing the company’s name.

Lim and Raja Norsan had gotten away with all this, alleged the source, by not revealing full details of the deals to the Pempena board.

“They always used the names of Tengku Adnan and (former deputy tourism minister Donald Lim, left) in saying that the decisions had been approved. But did they really approve all this?” the source asked.

Accountant denies claims

When first contacted last Friday, the accountant said he had seen the memorandum and that the allegations against him are baseless.

“An independent audit (panel) has already been set up by Tourism Malaysia and Pempena,” said Lim, who sounded jovial during the five-minute phone conversation.

He said the allegations may have been prompted by “racism in a Malay-dominated government-linked company”, referring to segments that highlight the awarding of contracts to non-bumiptera companies.

Although he had initially declined to be named, he agreed to being quoted when contacted again on Monday. He also reiterated his earlier comments.

On Jan 11, Malaysiakini had reported a scandal,where two high-ranking Tourism Malaysia officers in the South Korea office had allegedly pocketed RM850,000 slated for the production of a video to promote Malaysia to South Koreans.

Tahniah Dato' Sri, kemenangan seorang pengecut.

Sekali lagi Azalina menang tanpa bertanding. Para peneroka di parlimen Azalina amat kecewa kerana PAS telah dibeli oleh Azalina. Amat goyah calon PAS itu. Atau adakah calon PAS itu sekadar dummy dan machai Azalina?

Bayangkan jika semua calon parti PAS dan Keadilan serta DAP boleh dibeli, maka calon-calon BN adalah golongan yang kaya raya memperkasa dan menggemilangkan wang rakyat.

Blog ini terlalu singkat untuk dijadikan senjata menjatuhkan Azalina. Amat banyak sekali yang menyokong kepimpinan Hadhari menteri Baju dan Seluar ini.

Kesimpulannya, Azalina sukar dijatuhkan. Hanya Allah s.w.t. sahajalah dengan kuasaNya mampu untuk menentukan kesejahteraan negara Islam ini (jika dipimpin parti PAS).

Takbir!

Fikir-fikirkan...

Ok ok Azalina bukan lesbian. Itu hanya trademark saja. Dia tak buat kerja-kerja macam tu.
Kisah ini hanya lanjutan daripada kempen dulu-dulu.

Tapi bil ejen kami dapat gambar-gambar dan lain-lainnya, maka berita ini mesti tak patut diketepikan.

Dia adalah orang penting. Macam mana kalau dah terbuat benda yang rakyat jadi keliru dan jatuh syak?

Azalina sebenrnya tak buat kerja membela rakyat, tapi sibuk kaut duit rakyat buat harta sendiri.
Buktinya, Azalina telah buat party masa rakyat sedang bergelut dengan masalah banjir besar di Johor baru-baru ini. Isu ini sangat jelas dan telah buat Tengku Mahkota Johor amat marah. Tengku sendiri tahu dengan isu ini.

Selain itu juga, Azalina sering ponteng mesyuarat UMNO Bahagian. Cuma datang sekali setahun.

Azalina suka pecat pegawainya dengan cara memindahkan pegawai yang tidak disukainya ke anak syarikat miliknya dan selepas itu pegawai tersebut akan dibuang kerja.

Azalina dan Islam Hadhari

Terima kasih kerana sudi meluang masa berkunjung ke blog tidak seberapa ini.

Daripada respon pengunjung, banyak yang mengkritik cara Anti Homo mengketengahkan isu Dato' Sri Azalina. Tidak kurang juga yang menyokong Anti Homo.

Carut.

Yang mengkritik, biarlah berpada-pada. Anti Homo tidak pernah menganjurkan kata-kata lucah untuk dilontarkan.

Ada di kalangan responden dan pengunjung blog yang amat marah dengan Anti Homo sambil membela Dato' Sri. Hairan bukan? Dato' Sri sendiri tidak bising dan melatah, tetapi orang lain yang bersuara bagi pihak tuan badan. Adakah pengunjung blog itu sudah di'suap' oleh Dato' Sri?

Kawalan emosi itu penting, agar diri tidak terperangkap dalam jerangkap sendiri.

Oh ya. Untuk pengetahuan pengunjung, Dato' Sri Azalina juga tidak kurang juga hebatnya dalam siri carut mencarut.

Jika 'anak'nya sendiri pun boleh dicarut (sewaktu anak itu masih baby), apatah lagi kakitangan sulit Dato' Sri yang agak jauh hubungan dengannya. Saban hari, banyak kakitangan Kementerian Baju dan Seluar itu merungut dan sakit hati dengan cara Dato' Sri mentadbir dengan kawalan emosinya yang tidak memuaskan.

Ada sahaja perkataan yang pedas, malah perkataan seperti p%*i dan b**i juga dipalit ke muka kakitangannya apabila Dato' Sri panas hati. Nak tahu lebih lanjut, mestilah kena rujuk dengan kakitangan yang paling rapat dengan Dato' Sri!

Gambar.

Ada pengunjung blog ini yang membuat spekulasi bahawa, Anti Homo ada kaitan dengan Dato' Sri. Ada yang mengatakan bahawa Anti Homo adalah 'orang dalam' yang sengaja ingin mendedahkan keburukan Dato' Sri Azalina. Tidak kurang yang menuduh Anti Homo adalah pembangkang yang ingin menjatuhkan kaumnya sendiri.

Banyak yang mengeluh kerana tiada apa pun gambar sensasi dalam blog ini seperti yang didakwa. Anti Homo sememangnya tidak akan mendedahkan kepada sesiapa pun gambar lucah yang dimaksudkan. Mungkin satu masa nanti gambar itu sendiri akan sampai ke tangan tuan-tuan semua.

Apa pun lontaran kata-kata nista terhadap diri Anti Homo (dan wartawan Homo Sapien), tidak sedikitpun melukai hati ini. Apa yang paling penting ialah kebenaran mesti didedahkan, keburukan / kebatilan mesti dimusnahkan!

Bersatu, bermusyawarah.

25 juta rakyat Malaysia, adakah anda semua setuju dan merestui kita dipimpin oleh menteri yang menjalin hubungan songsang? Adakah kita masih mahukan pemimpin yang 'atas nama Islam' tetapi mengamalkan cara bukan Islam? Inikah satu cara Dato' Sri Azalina mahu memperkenalkan Lesbian Hadhari kepada kaum hawa di Malaysia?

Wahai umat manusia dan umat Islam amnya, marilah kita bangkit dan memusnahkan kudis yang menghinggapi tubuh Malaysia ini. Kita tidak mahukan Malaysia yang dirompak oleh warganya yang parasit.

More news will come... otherwise, do visit this pages.

5 tahun, akhirnya kini....

Pak Lah telah umum pembubaran Parlimen siang tadi. Esok SPR pula menyusul untuk umum tarikh penamaan calon bagi pilihanraya umum.

Dalam kerancakan itu, kita telah terlupa bahawa lebih 5 tahun yang lalu, isu Dato' Sri Azalina yang dikaitkan dengan isu lesbianisasi telah hangat diperkatakan.

Ketika itu, media massa sibuk menyungkil jawapan, bloggers2 macam nyamuk meliau membuat spekulasi dan coretan, malangnya itu semua hanyalah lontaran kata-kata terhadap Dato' Sri Azalina semata-mata. Tidak ada bukti kukuh yang boleh mengaitkan lesbian dengan Dato' Sri.

Kini, seluruh rakyat Malaysia bolehlah melihat sendiri Wartawan Homo Sapien mendedahkan bukti gambar yang mengaitkan Dato' Azalina dengan isu LESBIAN dan isu 'ANAK' Dato' Sri Azalina.

Pendedahan Perspektif. Hangat.

Azalina mendukung 'anak gadis'nya, dan nama diberikan ialah Azarina.

Laporan disediakan oleh; Homo Sapien

Khabar-khabarnya....

Anti Homo ada mengesan beberapa khabar angin, lalu ia di'convert'kan menjadi suatu perkhabaran hampir sahih yang boleh dikhabarkan kepada umum.

.

Khabar-khabarnya, Dato' Sri Azalina Menteri B&S (Bi-Sexual) ini ada idaman dan cita-cita tinggi. Benarkah?

.

.

Khabar-khabarnya;

.

1. Dato' Sri Azalina mahu menjadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang Pertama dari kalangan wanita?

.

.

2. Dato' Sri Azalina ada 'anak perempuan' dengan pasangan lesbian (Datin Sabrina), dan anak perempuan itu namanya 'Azareena'?

.
.

3. Dato' Sri Azalina dah tak suka orang politik, dan memindahkan Setiausaha Politiknya (Datuk Hj. Rahim) dari Tingkat 17 diturunkan ke Tingkat 10?

.

Maknanya orang politik tak dapat jejak Tingkat 17 (Tingkat Menteri) la.... Maknanya, orang yang boleh cari duit untuk Dato' Sri hanyalah dibenarkan jejak Tingkat 17!

.

.

.

Dato' Sri, sila jawab.

Larangan membujang untuk renungan Azalina Othman

Harakahdaily.net

KUALA LUMPUR, 12 Feb (Hrkh) - Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Dato' Seri Azalina Othman Said yang mengutamakan rakyat melebihi diri sendiri menjadi punca beliau masih belum berkahwin dilihat kontra dengan saranan yang dianjurkan oleh agama.

Dalam surah al-Maidah ayat 87 menjelaskan tindakan yang dianggap melampau termasuk yang berkemampuan untuk berkahwin tetapi mengutamakan yang lain daripada tuntutan agama yang boleh dikaitkan dengan kenyataan Azalina tersebut.

"Hai orang-orang yang beriman! Janganlah kamu mengharamkan apa yang dihalalkan oleh Allah kepada kamu dan jangan kamu melampaui batas karena Allah tidak suka kepada orang-orang yang melampaui batas."

Rasulullah s.a.w juga pernah bersabda:'...Kamukah tadi yang berkata begini dan begitu? Demi Allah, bukankah aku ini orang yang paling taqwa kepada Allah, tetapi aku pun tetap berpuasa dan berbuka, shalat dan tidur dan menikah. Barang siapa membenci tuntunanku berarti ia bukan dari umatku." (Hadis Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

Kata imam al-Qurtuby bahawa orang bujang yang sudah mampu kahwin dan takut dirinya dan agamanya jadi rosak, sedangkan tiada jalan untuk menyelamatkan diri kecuali dengan kahwin, maka tiada perselisihan pendapat tentang wajibnya ia kahwin.

"Dan kahwinilah bujang-bujang kamu dan budak laki-laki dan perempuan yang telah patut kahwin. Jika mereka itu miskin, maka nanti Allah berikan kecukupan kepada mereka dengan kurnia-Nya. Dan Allah Maha Luas kurniaNya dan Maha Tahu." (rujuk surah An Nur ayat 32). - mks.

Durjana bangsa, turun segera dari takhta!

‘Kenapa saya masih belum kahwin’

Oleh FARABI SHEIKH SAID AL JABRI

SEREMBAN 4 Feb. – Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said berkata, keutamaan kepada rakyat yang melebihi diri sendiri merupakan sebab beliau masih belum berkahwin.

“Semua wakil rakyat Barisan Nasional (BN) di seluruh negara meletakkan keutamaan rakyat lebih daripada keutamaan diri, tidak kira masa.

“Oleh kerana itulah saya sehingga kini masih lagi tidak berkahwin, kerana saya meletakkan keutamaan rakyat lebih daripada diri sendiri,” katanya ketika berucap pada satu majlis di Kompleks Rakan Muda Kuala Pilah di sini hari ini.

Azalina yang juga Ahli Parlimen Pengerang, Johor dan baru menyambut ulang tahun kelahiran ke-44 pada 31 Disember lalu berkata, pada masa ini beliau mahu memberikan tumpuan kepada tanggungjawab sebagai wakil rakyat dan Menteri Belia dan Sukan.

Ketika ditanya pemberita sama ada beliau akan mendirikan rumah tangga selepas pilihan raya umum ke-12, Azalina yang sedang melakukan lawatan kerja sehari ke Negeri Sembilan enggan mengulas lanjut.

“Ini soal peribadi dan saya berasa tidak perlu untuk mengulas soalan tersebut,” katanya.
