Tanah berkenaan adalah antara 24 bidang tanah yang didakwa Pakatan Rayat (PR) Selangor dijual kepada parti komponen Barisan Nasional (BN) sewaktu negeri tersebut di bawah pemerintahan mereka.
Menurut Timbalan Pengerusi DAP Selangor, Tony Pua, lot tanah di Kelana Jaya itu dijual kepada Umno Selangor pada kadar RM1 sekaki persegi atau sejumlah RM87,000, di bawah harga pasaran iaitu bernilai RM17.5 juta.
Ketika sidang media semasa lawatan ke tanah berkenaan, beliau berkata kepada pemberita, BN mempertahankan tindakan mereka dengan mengatakan tanah itu digunakan untuk tujuan kemasyarakatan dengan membina dewan serbaguna dan taman asuhan kanak-kanak untuk masyarakat setempat.
“Namun, apa yang berlaku, tanah yang dibeli Umno Selangor itu dijual kepada pemaju untuk didirikan kondominium kos sederhana,” katanya.
Pua turut menambah, nilai pembangunan 200 unit kondominium berkenaan dianggarkan melebihi RM900 juta, dengan setiap unit bernilai sehingga RM450,000.
Tambahnya lagi, ini bermakna Umno Selangor telah menerima pulangan lumayan daripada penjualan kepada pemaju tersebut, yang turut menamakan beberapa ahli perniagaan Cina sebagai pengarahnya.
“Saya bukan menyalahkan pemaju. Tapi jika BN kata mereka mempertahankan kepentingan Melayu di Selangor, jadi mana buktinya?
“Mereka membeli tanah pada harga rendah pada 2004, menjulanya pada 2005 kepada pemaju, dan pada 2006, kondominium ini dilancarkan,” katanya.
Ahli Parlimen Petaling Jaya Utara itu menuntut keuntungan daripada penjualan tersebut diserahkan kepada kerajaan negeri atau diserahkan kepada rakyat Selangor.
Adun Sekinchanm Ng Suee Lim, yang mendedahkan Skandal Sapu Tanah di Selangor bulan lalu berkata, kondominium itu membuktikan BN tergamak menyalahgunakan kuasa untuk mengkayakan kroni mereka.
“Mana transformasi yang dilaungkan BN?” soalnya.
Adun Subang Jaya, Hannah Yeoh, yang turut hadir dalam lawatan tersebut berkata, ketika PR mengambil alih Selangor selepas Pilihan Raya 2008, Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim telah menghentikan mana-mana penjualan tanah kepada parti politik atau ahli politik. “Jika BN tidak mempunyai masalah di dalam perundangan, bayangkan apa yang mereka boleh lakukan di luar.
Tiada maaf; mereka menipu, menafikan, malah menmyatakan adanya kewajaran untuk mereka mengambil tanah tersebut,” katanya.
Kelab Penyokong Kerajaan PR Selangor bulan lalu mendedahkan berlakunya “projek sapu tanah” oleh parti komponen BN di Selangor yang melibatkan 24 keping tanah yang bernilai RM300 juta.
Kegiatan itu didakwa berlaku di tujuh daripada sembilan daerah di negeri tersebut yang dijual pada harga RM1 sesaki persegi semasa pemerintahan BN antara tahun 200 hingga 2008.
Daripada jumlah itu, 15 daripadanya dimiliki Umno Bahagian atau Cawangan, dengan enam daripadanya dimiliki Ketua Bahagian Umno Sungai Besar, yang pada masa itu diketuai oleh bekas Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Khir Toyo.
Turut dikaitkan dengan skandal tersebut adalah bekas Presiden MIC, Datuk Seri Samy Vellu, bersama S. Subramaniam dan Almarhum Tan Sri SOK Ubaidullah, yang merupakan pengasas MIC, yang didakwa dinamakan sebagai pemegang amanah untuk tanah berkeluasan 2,832 di Kuala Selangor.- malaysian insider
'Condominium now sits on UMNO's cheap welfare land'...
Pakatan Rakyat today moved to rebut the Barisan Nasional's claim that the cheap lands it acquired in Selangor were for the rakyat, pointing out that a condominium now sits on one of the plots acquired in Kelana Jaya.
At
a site visit today, Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua said the land
acquired by Subang Umno in 2004 for RM1 per square foot (psf) is now
valued at around RM200psf after development.He claimed the said land, Lot 77297, measures 87,188 square feet, which bring its total market value to RM17.44 million.
The development, Suria Damansara, is a 200-unit condominium, with a unit worth an average RM450,000, which totals to an estimated gross development value of RM90 million.
"When they (BN) rebutted (our allegation), they said the land parcels were for building kindergartens and community halls and other services for the people. This is clearly not the case," Pua said.
Only a year after obtaining the land, Pua said it was developed and subsequently the condominium was launched in 2006 and is now fully occupied.
Sekinchan assemblyperson Ng Suee Lim revealed last month that between 2000 and 2008, BN component parties had acquired 24 plots of land in Selangor at a meagre price of RM1psf.
Ng had initially estimated the total value of those lands at RM20 million but revised it to RM300 million after factoring in the appreciation following the developments conducted on them.
Possible profit-sharing?
Meanwhile, Subang Jaya assemblyperson Hannah Yeoh noted that even after the development, a land search last month showed that the land had not been surrendered to the developer but remained in Subang Umno's possession.
"So
it is possible that there was some form of joint venture with profit
sharing, with Umno remaining the sole proprietor of the land," Yeoh
said.She flayed Selangor BN leaders for their lack of remorse in the land grab and for lying to the state assembly that the plots were intended for the rakyat.
"BN's slogan in Selangor is "Sayangi Selangor, Yakini BN" (love Selangor, be confident in BN), if they truly 'Sayangi Selangor', then they should return the land to the people of Selangor," she said.
Ng, who was also present today, described the controversy as Sapu Tanah 1 Malaysia (1 Malaysia Land Grab) or SAT1M, in a jibe against Umno's Selangor opposition leader Mohamad Satim Diman.
"For this project, even if Umno was given a cut of 30 percent, that would have been more than RM20 million.
"Had they built low-cost apartments for the poor, we would have lauded them, but instead they built a condominium to reap profits," he alleged.
More exposes expected
Ng (centre, in photo)
added that he was in the process of obtaining the exact addresses for
the other lands but indicated that some of the casualties of this land
grab included squatters."They are in Kampung Berembang in Ampang and Lembah Jaya in Shah Alam, with the people there forced to leave with very little compensation," he claimed.
Elaborating on the Kelana Jaya deal, Ng claimed the development was carried out by Matroz Corporation Sdn Bhd, a wholly non-bumiputera company.
"Umno always accused us (Pakatan) of selling out the Malays, but Umno is the one selling out the Malays," he said.
Adding on, Pua (on the right in photo) said there was no wrong in Umno doing business with Chinese businesspersons but this was a case of hypocrisy due the allegations it had levelled against Pakatan.
He challenged Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, who is also Selangor BN and Umno chief, to act on this matter.
"Najib said Umno has transformed, but where is the transformation? He can correct past mistakes by returning the land and profit to Selangor," Pua said, adding that DAP's Youth wing, Dapsy, would lodge a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission soon.
Subang Umno division chief Muhammad Bushro Mat Johor, when contacted, said there is no such land in possession of Subang Umno.
“No, there is not even a single piece of land listed in Subang Umno’s asset list since I became the division chief,” he said.
The Paya Jaras assemblyperson added that any query on the land is best directed to the previous division chief.
Meanwhile, opposition leader in Selangor Satim Diman said the matter should be referred to Umno Selangor secretary Mohd Zin Mohamed.
Mohd Zin, when contacted, said he needs some time and will respond in due time after his researcher gathers more information on the allegation.-malaysiakini
