Pelaburan FGVH di luar negara rugi teruk...

PAS hari ini mengemukakan bukti berhubung dakwaan bahawa pelaburan Felda Global Ventures Holdings Berhad (FGVH) di luar negara mengalami kerugian.

Bukti tersebut diperoleh daripada laporan audit FGVNA sehingga 31 Disember 2010.

Pakar ekonomi PAS, Dr Rosli Yaakop berkata, syarikat pegangan pelaburan, Felda Global Ventures North America Sdn. Bhd. (FGVNA) mencatat kerugian sebanyak RM27,576,023 pada 31 Disember 2009 berbanding keuntungan sebanyak RM44,832,558 pada 31 Disember 2010.

Katanya, kerugian itu akibat anak-anak syarikat miliknya di Amerika Utara gagal membayar balik pinjaman yang diberikan sebanyak RM48,173,488.

"Felda telah melabur dana melebihi RM1,000,000,000 di dalam Twin Rivers Technologies Holdings Inc dan anak-anak syarikatnya di Amerika dan Kanada sejak Oktober 2007.

"Berdasarkan dua pengukur prestasi iaitu syarikat rugi dan pinjaman yang diberikan kepada anak-anak syarikat gagal dibayar balik mengikut terma yang dipersetujui dan ini membayangkan prestasi syarikat bermasalah," katanya pada sidang media di lobi Parlimen hari ini.

Rosli juga mempersoal tujuan FGVNA membeli saham TRTH pada harga RM1,567.50 se saham.

"Kenapa Felda memilih untuk membeli 97 peratus milikan dalam TRTH walhal ia adalah pemain baru dalam bidang oleochemicals yang ditubuhkan pada 1994 dan TRTH bukannya market leader dalam bidang ini?" soalnya yang juga ahli jawatankuasa Persatuan Anak Peneroka Felda Kebangsaan (Anak).


Selain itu katanya, pelaburan yang dibuat FGVNA di Amerika Utara iaitu Amerika syarikat dan Kanada amat besar iaitu berjumlah RM1,255,263,942.

"Apakah pulangan tahun yang diharapkan daripada pelaburan ini? Apakah manfaat kepada peneroka -peneroka Felda daripada pelaburan ini?" soalnya.

Sementara itu, Ahli Parlimen Kubang Kerian, Salahuddin Ayub terus meminta Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Ahmad Maslan memberi penjelasan berhubung kemerosotan tunai Felda daripada 4.5 bilion pada 2001 kepada 1.2 bilion pada 2005.

"Felda telah ada ibu pejabat tapi beli lagi pejabat di KLCC berharga RM600 juta lebih.

"RM235 bilion dibayar sebelum pembinaanya. Adakah ia dirujuk kepada ahli lembaga pengarah Felda dan adakah pejabat ini yang diperlukan peneroka?

"Datuk Ahmad Maslan kata semuanya untung, tak ada rugi," katanya.- harakahdaily



PAS to unveil more Felda Global Ventures failures...


PAS plans to unveil more of Felda Global Ventures Holdings’ (FGVH) investment failures across the globe, following its expose on a series of losses in the GLC’s overseas venture last year.

NONE"We are going reveal more of FGVH's investments in India, Kalimantan (Indonesia) and the Middle East," said Kubang Kerian PAS MP Salahuddin Ayub (left) at a press conference at the Parliament lobby today.

As part of a campaign to halt FGVH's public listing planned for the end second quarter this year, Salahuddin and Persatuan Anak Peneroka Felda Kebangsaan (Anak) economic advisor Rosli Yaakop today detailed how FGVH's investments in the US and Canada continue to record losses.


According to Rosli, FGVH through Felda Global Ventures North America (FGVNA) Sdn Bhd had set up two companies to manage its investments: Twin Rivers Technologies Holdings Inc and Felda Global Ventures North America US LLC in the US and Canada respectively.


NONE"I have with me FGVNA's audited accounts as of Dec 31, 2010 and it is stated that the company recorded RM27.6 million in losses compared to the RM44.8 million in profits in 2009," said Rosli (right in photo).

In a bid to counter Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Ahmad Maslan’s insistence that FGVH is a profit-making venture, and his pledge that the listing will not gamble away interests of the settlers, Rosli said:

“As of 2010, FGVNA injected RM1.26 billion into its subsidiaries in North America, including RM436.2 million in investments, RM595.4 million in loans and RM223.7 million in other investments.


Citing the company’s Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) audited financial statement, he asked why FGVNA had bought 80,000 ordinary shares in Twin Rivers for RM125.4 million at RM1,567.50 per share.


“However, based on the performance indicators - the loss-making company and loans to subsidiaries which were not repaid according to agreed terms suggest that the companies are facing difficulties.”


Ahmad Maslan had asserted that collectively
FGVH’s group of companies had achieved a “stimulating growth” and recorded a pre-tax profit of RM366 million in 2010.

They are puzzled why FGVNA ran into losses in 2010 when it recorded profits in 2009.


Rosli also asked what is the expected returns from FGVNA’s RM1.26 billion investment in the foreign companies and the benefits to the Felda settlers. - malaysiakini
