Man Kidal Menyerah Diri Kepada Pihak Polis

Atas nasihat rakan-rakan dan bagi membersihkan nama baiknya dan keluarga, dia menyerah diri di Ibu Pejabat Polis Bukit Aman,” kata pemain gitar popular, Man Kidal, 54, mengenai pembabitan anaknya, Mohd Shefflee, 32, atau Elly dalam perniagaan ‘money game’ dan melarikan jutaan ringgit wang pelabur seperti yang tular di media sosial, baru-baru ini. Man atau nama sebenarnya, Abdul Rahman Mahmood berkata, anaknya itu menyerah diri minggu lalu bagi memberi keterangan dan hanya dibebaskan Ahad lalu.

Man berkata, berikutan dakwaan yang tular itu, keluarganya menjadi mangsa cemuhan netizen di media sosial. “Kepada mereka yang tidak henti-henti mencemuh, menuduh dan melontarkan tohmahan terhadap anak saya, hentikan segera kerana ia turut membabitkan nama saya dan seluruh keluarga kami. Serahkan kepada polis dan biar mereka melakukan tugas mereka. Pada masa sama kami sedang mengumpul bukti untuk membuktikan Elly tidak bersalah,” katanya. Man berkata, Elly kini menguruskan perniagaannya seperti biasa dan akan terus memberikan kerjasama kepada polis sehinggalah kes itu selesai.

Man berkata, anaknya itu tidak pernah melakukan kegiatan itu. Menerusi syarikatnya Global Tijari Holdings Berhad, dia mengeluarkan pelbagai produk termasuk untuk kesihatan. “Dia ada kilang dan produk keluarannya memang berdaftar. Ada lebih 1,000 pelabur yang melabur dalam perniagaan itu tetapi hanya 80 orang yang mendakwa Elly menipu mereka. Mungkin perkara itu terjadi kerana ketika menandatangani kontrak, mereka tidak membaca dan memahami syarat serta terma tertentu yang terkandung dalam kontrak itu dengan jelas. Antaranya ialah keuntungan yang akan diagihkan kepada pelabur berdasarkan keuntungan yang diperoleh syarikat. Jika pada tempoh tertentu, syarikat tidak memperoleh keuntungan, maka ia turut memberi kesan kepada pelabur dan bukannya Elly melarikan wang pelabur seperti yang didakwa,” katanya.

(Reader Contribution) Rakyat Malaysia Ditindas Oleh Orang Luar

This reader, a Malaysian, mentioned that foreigners like those from Singapore and Australia are taking advantage of the good exchange rate for Malaysian currency by purchasing properties and assets in Malaysia, not just one or two, but more than that. Do you agree with him?

***

Maaf, saya nak berkongsi rasa. Saya join group keluarga Singapura. Group ni terdiri dari saudara mara saya di Singapura dan Australia. Baru sempat baca whatsapp mereka petang tadi. Hari ni mereka upload gambar penduduk singapura dan australia reramai keluar beratur panjang beli duit ringgit kita sebab duit kita jatuh teruk. Berita tentang negara kita memang panaslah kat negara luar.

Penduduk luar sangat gembira dengan kejatuhan ringgit ni termasuklah saudara mara saya. Saudara mara saya banyak beli aset di Malaysia. Saudara mara saya bukan beli aset satu dua aje di Malaysia tapi lebih. Hampir setiap dari mereka ada aset di sini. Rumah, tanah, rumah kedai yang tak mampu kita termasuk saya miliki, mereka mampu beli.

Saya rasa sedih sangat. Bukan sebab cemburu or dengki tapi kesian pada nasib kita rakyat Malaysia ni. Saya guru sejarah, paatriotik saya terusik. Saya bimbang satu hari nanti kita hanya bangga sebagai rakyat Malaysia tapi kita dhaif tak punya apa-apa di negara kita sendiri. Keadaan itu sudah hampir jadi realiti. Bila kita kejar keuntungan, kita jugak yang rugi akhirnya. Adik saya jurutera di putrajaya holdings, buat rumah semi d, harga rm6 juta.

Saya tanya habis tak terjual. Adik saya kata habis, dibeli oleh orang luar singapura, taiwan, australia. Sedih kalau kita terpaksa merempat di bumi kita sendiri. Nak salahkan mereka? Tepuk dad, sesamalah kita renungkan. Saya tak salahkan mereka bila kita sendiri yang membuka ruang, peluang dan kesempatan untuk mereka.

Halimah Yacob: “The idea of doing good is something that is so expansive”

Addressing criticism of her ungrammatical campaign slogan for her presidential bid, Madam Halimah Yacob said that she settled on “Do Good Do Together” because “it’s catchy, it’s easy to understand, easy for everyone to relate”. She was speaking to the media after submitting her application forms to the Elections Department (ELD) to stand in next month’s Presidential Election (PE) — the last of three aspirants who have publicly announced their intention to take part in the race. On Tuesday, the former Speaker of Parliament unveiled her campaign slogan — “Do Good Do Together”. Touted as a call to action, she said that the tagline embodies her goal to create an inclusive society for all. It has since received criticism from netizens for being ungrammatical.

Defending her choice of words on Wednesday, Mdm Halimah, 63, said: “I do know that there are also people who support it. (They) find it very good, very impactful. The idea of doing good is something that is so expansive. It covers many things — wanting to see Singapore doing better, Singaporeans doing better, getting the collective support of everyone to stay united so that we can progress together.” Arriving at the ELD building at Prinsep Link in a black Toyota car at 10.40am on Wednesday, Mdm Halimah, clad in a yellow headscarf, orange blouse and black slacks, was accompanied by five members of her campaign team. They included Mr Lawrence Leow, former president of the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises and Mr Bob Shaw, Marsiling Citizens’ Consultative Committee chairman. The submission process ended in 20 minutes, and she had left the building by 11.05am.

So far, two other potential contenders for the PE have emerged: Mr Mohamed Salleh Marican, 67, chief executive of Second Chance Properties and Mr Farid Khan Kaim Khan, 62, chairman of marine services provider Bourbon Offshore Asia Pacific. Mr Marican was the first to drop off his forms at the ELD on Aug 23, followed by Mr Farid the next day. This PE has been reserved for the Malay community, following changes to the Elected Presidency passed by Parliament in November last year. The writ of election was issued on Monday, giving presidential hopefuls five working days, until Sept 4, to apply for a certificate of eligibility and a community certificate.

Nomination Day is on Sept 13 and Singapore will head to the polls on Sept 23 if there is more than one eligible candidate. In a press release on the campaigning rules issued on Tuesday, the ELD stressed the need to maintain the dignity of the presidential office during the campaigning period. This was a timely reminder for all potential candidates to conduct themselves properly throughout the election, Mdm Halimah said on Wednesday. Asked for her thoughts on the lead-up to Nomination Day, she said: “So far I think the (process) has been pretty good … From the time the candidates announced their intention to take part in the election till now, I think it’s gone on very well.” More details about her campaign strategy will be unveiled later.

Salleh Marican: “I Have Never Worked For Anyone In My Life… I Am My Own Man”

As a young boy, Mohamed Salleh Marican was already looking to earn his own keep. When he was eight, he asked his mother to pay him S$0.90 to collect bread from the bakery instead of having it delivered to their home. At age 12, he walked 2km to and from school every day to save money on transport. He wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father, a textile merchant. That aspiration did not sit well with his mother, who had to raise six children single-handedly after her husband died of illness when Mr Marican was only 15. She was furious when he rejected an offer to sign on as a Lieutenant in the army as he would rather run his own business.

“My mother said to me: ‘Do you think it’s easy to be a businessman?’” the 67-year-old recalled. “She said: ‘Look at your father. His 50 years of running a business had many ups and downs. Why give up a good job with a good position?’” But Mr Marican stuck to his guns and set up a tailoring shop in 1974, when he was in his early 20s. M Salleh Enterprise was located in Peninsula Shopping Centre. After an unsuccessful stint, Mr Marican sold the store for S$15,000. He bought it back five months later for half the price, and named it Second Chance. By 1988, Mr Marican had opened 25 clothing stores in Singapore and Malaysia. But the good times did not last. He had to close 21 stores in four years.

“It caused a lot of uneasiness and fear, in my family, my directors, my management team. I realised how much many people depended on me. I began to feel more for people in trouble, people who are down and out,” Marican said. Still, he was undeterred and Second Chance later became the first Malay-owned firm to be listed on the Singapore Exchange in 1997. These experiences, said Mr Marican, have helped him become more compassionate. “I went through the school of hard knocks. This is when you learn much more about life, about interacting with all types of people. I have never worked for anyone in my life. I never had to answer to any superior or boss. I am my own man. I’ve never been affiliated to any political party or (been) backed by any business or organisation. This is what I can bring to the table.”

“MY MALAY IS YOUR EVERYDAY MALAY”

Despite his successes in business, Mr Marican is well aware that running for the Presidency will not be easy. When he announced in June his intention to contest the election – reserved this year for candidates from the Malay community – many criticised him for his poor command of the Malay language. This was after a video of him stumbling over a Malay word made its rounds on social media. “Actually, I can speak Malay. But my Malay is your everyday Malay,” Mr Marican claimed. “What happened that day is I did not realise they were recording it on Facebook Live. I thought it was done a normal way, that it will be edited later on. So I wanted to use a better Malay word. That is what happened. I learnt a thing or two about the media.”

Mr Marican has since been taking classes to improve his Malay. But that isn’t the only aspect of his life that’s changed since he started preparing for his campaign. He now has less time to read the newspapers, and only recently bought his first mobile phone. “There are so many things to think about and there are so many messages coming in from my team members. Now I realise why they say I must have a handphone … Now I cannot leave home without the handphone,” he said. The businessman’s priorities have also shifted over the years. While making money was the main goal in his younger days, the father of four – three daughters and a son – said he now wants to give back to society.

If elected, Mr Marican said he will donate his entire salary as President to charity. His team has also been working on a social movement called Mind The Gap which hopes to raise funds and awareness of smaller charities in Singapore. “Many people tell me you can also do this if you’re not President. It’s true. But you see the difference – the influence of the President can have a great impact on any activity he or she chooses to promote. For example, if I write to all the CEOs of the big companies in Singapore to donate to this cause, most of them will do so. But as an ordinary citizen, if I do that, how many will even read the letter?”

Mr Marican was the first of the three potential candidates that have come forward so far to submit their application forms to the Elections Department. The other two are former Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob and chairman of Bourbon Offshore Asia Farid Khan. All potential candidates will have to apply for the Certificate of Eligibility, providing details such as employment history and submitting supporting documents. Applicants from the private sector like Mr Marican and Mr Farid will have to show that they have helmed a company with at least S$500 million in shareholders’ equity. Mr Marican said he spent “more than 100 hours” thinking how best to convince the Presidential Elections Committee that he is a qualified candidate. “So now it’s in their hands, but I’m confident that they will qualify me,” he said.
