(OMG! Not another one…really hope this is not true ya but going by the
litany of a lot more bizarre and horror stories, I’ve my fear and
hence….. it’s surely a cardinal sin for anyone to allow these Umno-BN
political elites to continue ruling this nation with impunity! May Allah
save this nation from irredeemable ruin!….)

May 16: Armed with documents which show a contract worth RM30.8 million being awarded to a company belonging to the daughter of a minister, blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin said the “enormous wealth” would mean that UMNO’s campaign to oust Lembah Pantai member of parliament Nurul Izzah Anwar was a “child’s play”.
May 16: Armed with documents which show a contract worth RM30.8 million being awarded to a company belonging to the daughter of a minister, blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin said the “enormous wealth” would mean that UMNO’s campaign to oust Lembah Pantai member of parliament Nurul Izzah Anwar was a “child’s play”.
Saying he had known Federal Territories and Urban Well-being minister
Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin (right) since the latter’s days as a
“successful government contractor”, Petra said Nong Chik, the UMNO
politician widely expected to be pitted against Nurul for the coming
polls, would have no problem funding his campaign.
“Financing his bid for the Parliament seat of Lembah Pantai should be
child’s play for him. And ‘financing’ the voters to vote for him should
be no effort as well,” said the outspoken blogger.
To back his claim, he posted documents on his blog Malaysia Today
showing how Istijuara Sdn Bhd, a company in which Petra said Nong Chik’s
daughter Raja Farhana Raja Nong Chik owned 399,999 of the 400,000
shares as shown by the Companies Commission Malaysia, had been awarded a
RM30.8 million contract by the Youth and Sports ministry in August
2010.
Owned since ‘Standard One’
According to Petra, the company was established some 20 years ago when
Raja Farhana, now 26, was still in the first year of primary school.
“It has losses carried forward amounting to about a quarter of a million
Ringgit and current liabilities of about RM400,000 – against current
assets of about half a million and a share capital of RM400,000.
“This does not give a very bright outlook of the company’s finances but I
am sure this RM30 million contract can clean up the company’s balance
sheet soon enough,” wrote Petra.
According to the document, the contract for Istijuara was to complete,
upgrade and service the training equipment for hospital, marine and oil
and gas industry by “direct negotiation” with the government’s National
Youth Skills Institute (IKBN) in Bandar Penawar, Johor.
A letter, signed by Mohid Mohamed, secretary of the Youth and Sports
ministry, further states that Istijuara must deposit five percent of the
value of the contract – RM1.54 million – as bank guarantee bonds with a
locally certified bank from the commencement of the project to 12
months after its completion.
But Petra (left) claimed that Istijuara was not the only company linked
to Nong Chik, neither was the contract the only government job awarded
to him.
He said the huge amount of money being spent under Nong Chik’s ministry,
including the controversial use of some RM1.5 billion quick housing
loan taken from the Employees Provident Fund for low cost homes
concentrated within the Lembah Pantai constituency, would make Nong
Chik’s bid to win the election there easier.
“With all that, how to lose the Lembah Pantai seat?” he quipped.
In the 2008 general election, Nurul delivered a shock defeat to Wanita
UMNO leader Shahrizat Abdul Jalil who had been the MP for Lembah Pantai
for 13 years. - drdzul blog
