NFC paid RM600,000 credit card bill for Shahrizat’s family...

NONEIn an effort to pressure Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to accept responsibility for the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) scandal, PKR today made another expose on the alleged abuse of NFC funds.

Four family members of Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, spent a total of RM593,500 in 2009 with credit cards, with the money coming from the NFC funds, PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli claimed today.

Rafizi, who is in charge of the party's expose on the NFC, said the four family members who hold management posts in NFC had swiped the credit cards that are charged to NFC for expenses of between RM122,402 and RM182,525.

The four are Shahrizat's husband Mohammad Salleh Ismail, who is NFC chairman, their 31-year-old son Wan Shahinur Izmir (executive director), another son Wan Shahinur Izran aged 27 (chief executive officer) and 25-year-old daughter Wan Izzanah Fatimah (director).

"Our expose will be continued until Najib takes action to indicate that he and his colleagues in cabinet accept full responsibility over the abuses that happened in NFC," said Rafizi in a statement today.

He revealed that PKR activists led by its central leadership council member Fariz Musa will make another police report against the credit card expenditure at Dang Wangi police station at 2pm tomorrow.

On Izmir’s statement yesterday that NFC is still doing “business as usual” despite Najib’s announcement on Saturday that the its assets have been frozen pending investigations, Rafizi questioned whether Najib has made an empty announcement or NFC has gone against the freeze order.

He noted Izmir’s statement revealed that Shahrizat’s family is still free to utilise NFC funds and operate the company, which is prohibited if a freeze order has been issued.

He stressed that freeze order should include:

1. Any expenditure apart from paying salaries of employees in charge of cattle farming operations (as stipulated by the government agreement) should be frozen;


2. The current management consists of Shahrizat’s family members is not allowed to make any decision related to the operation, finance, human resource and other important decisions of the company;

3. Any transfer of funds from NFC, including the salary payment and expenditures of other companies owned by Shahrizat’s family, must be halted immediately;

4. Any decision related to the assets or structure of the company and investment should not be allowed to avoid asset transfer.

Rafizi also demanded that Najib suspend Shahrizat’s family members from their posts and ban them from entering the office, before appointing corporate administrator to take over the company in line with good corporate governance.

Should the premier fail to do so, Rafizi threatened to expose more NFC irregularities which are in the possession of PKR.- malaysiakini



Keluarga Shahrizat belanja RM600k kad kredit NFC

Dalam usaha memberi tekanan kepada Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak untuk bertanggungjawab terhadap skandal projek ternakan lembu Perbadanan Fidlot Kebangsaan (NFC), PKR hari ini membuat satu lagi pendedahan mengenai dakwaan penyalahgunaan dana NFC.

NONEKali ini, dakwa pengarah strategi PKR Rafizi Ramli, empat ahli keluarga Menteri Wanita, Keluarga dan Pembangunan Masyarakat Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil membelanjakan RM593,500 pada tahun 2009 dengan kad kredit yang wangnya dari dana NFC.

Menurut Rafizi, empat ahli keluarga yang memegang jawatan pengurusan dalam NFC telah menggunakan kad kredit yang bayarannya dituntut dari NFC bagi perbelanjaan antara RM122,402 dan RM182,525 setiap seorang.

Mereka adalah suami Shahrizat, Datuk Mohammad Salleh Ismail, iaitu pengerusi NFC, anak lelaki mereka yang berusia 31 tahun, Wan Shahinur Izmir (pengarah eksekutif), seorang lagi anak mereka Wan Shahinur Izran yang berusia 27 (ketua pegawai eksekutif) dan anak perempuan mereka Wan Izzanah Fatimah (pengarah) yang berusia 25 tahun.

“PKR tidak ada pilihan kecuali terus membongkarkan pelbagai penyelewengan yang ada di dalam rekod kami untuk meningkatkan tekanan politik terhadap Datuk Seri Najib Razak untuk bertindak dengan telus dan tidak berdolak dalih,” kata Rafizi dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.

azlanMenurutnya, petang esok pada jam 2 petang, aktivis PKR yang diketuai Fariz Musa akan membuat satu lagi laporan di Balai Polis Dang Wangi mengenai perbelanjaan kad kredit oleh keluarga Ketua Wanita Umno itu yang didakwa melampaui batas.

Mengenai kenyataan Izmir, semalam, bahawa NFC masih menjalankan "perniagaan seperti biasa" walaupun Sabtu lalu kerajaan mengumumkan bahawa aset syarikat berkenaan telah dibekukan sementara menunggu sisatan, Rafizi mempersoalkan sama ada Najib hanya membuat kenyataan kosong tanpa memberikan arahan khusus, atau NFC mengingkari arahan yang dikeluarkan oleh kerajaan.

Katanya, tindakan “membekukan aset NFC” sepatutnya bermakna:

1. Sebarang perbelanjaan selain dari membayar gaji pekerja-pekerja yang bertugas dalam operasi penternakan lembu (seperti yang dimandatkan di dalam perjanjian pembiayaan oleh kerajaan) perlu dibekukan;

2. Pengurusan sedia ada yang terdiri dari kaum keluarga Shahrizat tidak dibenarkan membuat sebarang keputusan bersabit operasi, kewangan, sumber manusia dan keputusan-keputusan penting lain;

3. Sebarang pemindahan wang keluar dari NFC, termasuk pembayaran gaji dan perbelanjaan syarikat-syarikat lain yang dimiliki oleh keluarga Shahrizat perlu dihentikan serta-merta; dan

4. Sebarang keputusan mengenai aset atau struktur syarikat dan pelaburan tidak dibenarkan dibuat bagi mengelakkan pemindahan aset.

Menurut Rafizi, secara lazimnya dalam amalan korporat yang berdasarkan tata kelola yang baik, apabila seseorang disiasat akibat tuduhan pecah amanah, beliau tidak dibenarkan masuk ke pejabat dan digantung serta-merta bagi mengelakkan cubaan menghapuskan bukti.

“PKR mengulangi desakan supaya Najib bertindak lebih berani dengan menggantung penglibatan kaum keluarga Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil di dalam operasi NFC dan melantik pentadbir korporat (corporate administrator) untuk mengambil alih pengurusan dengan mandat membongkar semua penyelewengan yang telah berlaku,” katnya lagi.- malaysiakini
