| Saman Fitnah Terhadap Yayasan Selangor Posted: 18 Jul 2011 11:42 AM PDT Menurut Pekeliling Perkhidmatan Februari 2010, Hj Omar layak menerima faedah persaraan sebanyak hampir RM 101,000. Walaubagaimanapun faedah persaraan berkenaan itu ditahan atas arahan Ilham bin Marzuki. By Steffan Hj Omar bin Hasbullah (KP : ******-**-****) dilantik sebagai Timbalan Pengurus Besar (Pengurusan) bertaraf tetap di Yayasan Selangor pada 16 Februari 2001. Hj Omar bersara wajib apabila mencapai usia 55 tahun pada 22 Julai 2010. Beliau menghabiskan baki cuti tahunan bermula 1 Julai 2010. Sebelum Hj Omar memulakan menghabiskan baki cuti tahunannya, beliau telah diarahkan oleh Pengurus Besar Yayasan Selangor, Ilham bin Marzuki untuk memulangkan Toyota Camry BJU 53 milik Yayasan Selangor yang digunanya. Hj Omar telah merayu kepada Ilham supaya dibenarkan menggunakan Toyota berkenaan sehingga hari akhir perkhidmatan beliau. Malangnya Ilham tidak mengendahkan permintaan tersebut. Hj Omar terpaksa menumpang kereta seorang Pengurus untuk pulang ke rumahnya dalam keadaan dukacita dan tidak puas dengan layanan Ilham terhadapnya. Menurut Pekeliling Perkhidmatan Februari 2010, Hj Omar layak menerima faedah persaraan sebanyak hampir RM 101,000. Walaubagaimanapun faedah persaraan berkenaan itu ditahan atas arahan Ilham bin Marzuki. Alasan yang diberikan ialah Hj Omar terlibat dalam meluluskan pembayaran tuntutan yang dikemukakan oleh kontraktor dalam kes saman Carrier (M) Sdn. Bhd. terhadap Yayasan Selangor berhubung kerja-kerja menaiktaraf sistem penghawa dingin berpusat Bangunan Yayasan Selangor di Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. ZAH Holding Sdn. Bhd. (452383-P) telah dilantik sebagai Kontraktor Utama oleh Yayasan Selangor untuk menyempurnakan kerja-kerja menaiktaraf sistem penghawa dingin berpusat Bangunan Yayasan Selangor di Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. Kerja-kerja berkenaan dijadualkan siap dalam masa 28 minggu yakni Ogos 2009. Kerja-kerja berkenaan siap sepenuhnya pada Disember 2009. Harga keseluruhan kelengkapan yang dibekalkan oleh Carrier (M) Sdn. Bhd. ialah RM 829,600. Masalah timbul apabila Carrier (M) Sdn. Bhd. telah mengemukakan saman (Mei 2010) menuntut baki bayaran sebanyak RM 550,000 dari Yayasan Selangor. Dalam jawapan balasnya, Yayasan Selangor menegaskan bahawa semua pembayaran berhubung dengan pemasangan sistem penghawa dingin telah dibuat kepada ZAH Holding Sdn. Bhd. Carrier (M) Sdn. Bhd. mengemukakan surat perjanjian bertarikh 18 Mac 2009 di antara bekas Pengurus Besar Yayasan Selangor, Hj Takril bin Tasuki, Pengarah Urusan ZAH Holding, Ahmad bin Mokmin dan Carrier (M) Sdn. Bhd. Di dalam surat berkenaan, Yayasan Selangor bersetuju untuk membuat pembayaran secara terus kepada Carrier bilamana perlengkapan dihantar menurut arahan ZAH Holding atau Yayasan Selangor. Dipersetujui juga bahawa Yayasan Selangor akan membayar keseluruhan RM 829,600.00 kepada Carrier (M) Sdn. Bhd. Perjanjian berkenaan memperakui bahawa sebarang pembayaran oleh Yayasan Selangor kepada Carrier (M) Sdn. Bhd. dianggap sebagai pembayaran Yayasan Selangor kepada ZAH Holding Sdn. Bhd. sebagai kontraktor Yayasan Selangor dan ZAH Holding Sdn. Bhd. kepada Carrier (M) Sdn. Bhd. Menyedari kepincangan surat perjanjian rahsia ini, pentadbiran baru Yayasan Selangor telah menyaman ZAH Holding Sdn. Bhd. (Mei 2010) untuk mendapatkan balik RM 550,000 yang telah dibayar oleh Yayasan Selangor tetapi tidak dibayar oleh ZAH Holding kepada Carrier (M) Sdn. Bhd. Yayasan Selangor telah diperintahkan oleh mahkamah untuk membayar Carrier (M) Sdn. Bhd. hutang RM 550,000. Yayasan Selangor dalam proses memulakan prosiding mahkamah terhadap ZAH Holding termasuk penggulungan. Hj Omar telah mengemukan tuntutan melalui Pejabat Perhubungan Perusahaan Selangor untuk mendapatkan faedah persaraan yang ditahan oleh Yayasan Selangor. Setelah dua sesi di Pejabat Perhubungan Perusahaan Selangor, Yayasan Selangor tegas dengan pendirian untuk terus menahan pembayaran faedah persaraan Hj Omar. Kes berkenaan telah dirujuk ke pejabat Menteri Sumber Manusia untuk tindakan selanjutnya. Hj Omar telahpun mengemukakan saman fitnah sebanyak RM 1 juta terhadap Yayasan Selangor dan Ilham Marzuki. Sebutan kes pada 24 Mac 2011 di Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam. Kes No. 22 NCVC 286-2011. Hakim Dato' Lim Yee Lan. Kes ini telah dibicarakan dan keputusan dijangka diumumkan pada bulan Julai 2011.

By Lee Khai Loon (Convener of Generation 709) 709 is the collective memory of people of all races united in making history in Malaysia. Generation 709 is a platform of youth concerned with politics, civil rights and good governance. We have converged after the historic walk of Jul 9, for a common goal: building our democracy. We believe that everyone should continue to move forward, with our commitment to Malaysia and involvement in reforming Malaysia, so that democracy can take root in Malaysia. We are an independent, principled, critical platform. We do not belong to any political organisation, do not have any financial resources, but have only a heart for the idealism. We believe that democracy does not fall from the sky, that it takes a journey of many steps to materialise. As the generation of social change, we have the responsibility and duty to be at the forefront. We believe in the power from the united youth of all races, which will empower even more youth to participate in social works and defend their rights. It will bring a new perspective to the rakyat, to struggle together for a democratic Malaysia. The platform of Generation 709 has three main objectives: (1) Solidarity and support for all political detainees from Bersih 2.0 Rally and victims of police brutality, including calling for immediate release of six social leaders detained under Emergency Ordinance; Building our democracy is a long term endeavour, so we must continue to address all sorts of political issues and raise the public's awareness. Generation 709 will forever remember the sacrifice of Sdr Baharudin Ahmad. He is the fighter of democracy is everyone's heart. Kindly join our group at www.facebook/GenerasiBersih709 or follow our twitter @generation709 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generasi 709: Pendirian dan Pejuangan Kami Peristiwa 709 merupakan titik penciptaan perpaduan semua kaum dalam sejarah.

| Posted: 18 Jul 2011 11:14 AM PDT You might not change something, but sowing the seeds, giving that initial shove, is always important. By 'Malaysian' in NYC So one Saturday morning I - along with a bunch of other disgruntled Malaysians - jumped into the disgruntled Malaysians' bandwagon and rode off to the congregation of yellow shirts. Actually it was a bus, and we almost missed it because we woke up late. It was a Saturday, after all. Yet there was nothing cavalier about going to this... event, of sorts. Among the inappropriate jokes and nervous laughter was the underlying fear that I should not be there, because in all honesty, I shouldn't. It comes with having something to lose, something major and if not life, future-threatening. So, between talking and criticizing and nursing the resultant papercut from folding multilingual pamphlets detailing our cause, was the terror, the selfishness of wanting to satisfy my curiosity, the discontent that I should be afraid to be a citizen of a country loved but messed up somewhere. The weather was a bit to the warm side, a good weather for banner-waving, I suppose. We arrived at Mount Doom after a long and sweaty trek that did nothing to assuage our anxiety. There wasn't much at Mount Doom either to stoke our anxiety, because it was a Saturday and it was probably closed anyway, if the blacked-out blinds and closed windows were anything to go by. Then again, it was in the morning, and a Saturday, and by the smatterings of our yet-incomplete yellow congregation, Mount Doom of our project was probably quiet due to the oft commented-on Malaysian timing. We were greeted by the organizer in all his yellow magnificence. He had placards, in yellow, and a paperbagful of yellow finery, should we need some yellow to express our cause. We must have looked like a loose bouquet of sunflowers, with all the yellow. Passer-bys stared accusingly at us, probably because of all the bright royal yellow we were wearing. Or perhaps because we were blocking the sidewalk with our Malaysian loitering-around-lepaking skills that were specially honed and cultivated in the sidewalks of our beloved homeland. Let's take a little time here to contemplate, as we allow the tide of Malaysian timing to sweep in the trickle of yellow that would bulk up our loose bouquet into a cheerful congregation of warrior sunflowers. What makes a young, disgruntled Malaysian join a protest? Curiosity seems to be a trend. What's this about? What do Malaysians do at a protest? Do the others who would turn up really care about the cause, or is it mere curiosity as well, or is it that Malaysian desire to get together and do stuff that sprouts kenduris and open houses and gotong-royongs? Someone told me that, 'It doesn't matter anymore,' the eight demands we have. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe the tide of getting together to do something has swept it all away, whipped us up into an entity united in frustration. Maybe it still does, to validate our need to protest. I think it does, and I pray we do not lose sight of that. I could not gauge or fathom everyone's purpose for coming here, but I was convinced that my presence would serve well to add bulk to the cause. Malaysians of many shades of yellow soon arrived. Some were students, full of hope for the future. Some were old and wizened by years and fed up with the nonsense they attest to have received from the government. Some came with their families all decked in yellow. The mass of yellow grew, if not into a sea, into an excited, chatty congregation of anxious sunflowers. I thought it would have done me well to talk, to ask, why why why, why are you all here, what do you stand for? But there was the fear, of being found out or of seeding the gossip that would lead to my discovery. And so I just listened to the chatter. What kind of person goes to a protest? The disgruntled and the discontent? The angry and malicious? The down-trodden and oppressed? It was the everyday person you meet in school, the other person you saw today, the people who have read the nonsense and bothered to think for a while, 'there is something not quite right here'. It is the Malaysian who have listened and thought and decided that his or her mere attendance is enough to support a cause every other rational person has kept in his or her heart. There were no talks of 'burn this', 'overthrow that', 'death to the infidels' or 'let's destroy the government'. There were conversations of 'where are you from in Malaysia, do you know so-and-so, my aunt lives there in Malaysia, I used to live there, the food there is good.' 'Something isn't right and we know you're messing things up'. They were disgruntled. There was discontent. There didn't seem to be a murderous desire to set fire to everything or throw rocks. There was solidarity in nationality, in food, and in the feeling that there has been injustice and those who were supposed to dispense said justice were not doing their jobs. The congregation reached its desired bulk, and off we went a-marching down the path of discontent. From Mount Doom we arrived at designated venue of protest. I don't know if I could call it a protest. We waved banners and cars honked if they supported us. We had a banner for that and all. We cheer and waved and sang our national anthem. We love our country. We just don't like the people who are doing a terrible job at running it. We walked back. Some spoke. We dispersed. Each yellow going their separate ways with perhaps new friends, and with the satisfaction of being there. I scurried away into obscurity with the hopes that my anonimity is preserved. Being there among the ranks, to show support, to see for myself what goes on and who does what, is good enough for me. Will this bring any change? Some say no, some say of course, some think it doesn't matter anymore. Some go away with the burning desire to do better, to pursue this course. Some come back with sagely advice and catharses. What did I bring back with me? Fear is real, and it does not make you a coward to be afraid. Curiosity is dangerous, and so is the desire to know of which we youths are known to heed and to embrace unprepared. You might not change something, but sowing the seeds, giving that initial shove, is always important. Malaysians love food no matter where they are. Yellow is a good colour to be spotted in. I'm still terrified, but as of now, I'm glad I went. |
