PETALING JAYA: Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan (pic) has challenged Lim Guan Eng to sue him for defamation after the Penang Chief Minister claimed that he “chickened out” of his debate challenge.

The Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister alleged that Lim was talking like an “uncivilised street hustler” rather than observing the decorum of a chief minister.

“If you think what I exposed about you was a bluff, just sue me for defamation. I will gladly see you in court!

“As a street hustler, you cleverly used my deference to the office of the IGP and MACC as a sign of a cowardice,” Abdul Rahman, who is also Kota Belud MP, said in a series of tweets on Sunday.

This followed after the Penang Chief Minister claimed Abdul Rahman should admit that he failed miserably to live up to expectations of a minister after “chickening out” of his own debate challenge with Lim.

The duo were due to debate live on the Taman Manggis land issue last week but an advisory panel of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the Inspector-General of Police had asked for the debate to be cancelled.

From DAP Insider:

“I do not understand why my agreement to selling the house to CM has been blown up to such a big national issue when I have no business dealings with the state government.”

The above words were in the Statutory Declaration affirmed by Miss Phang Li Koon, the seller of the underpriced Bungalow to Penang CM Lim Guan Eng.

This is an absolute lie. Phang Li Khoon and her boss for 20 years who also owns KLIDC have had many business relationships with the Penang State Government through many different companies.

One of these companies is Magnificent Emblem Sdn Bhd, which is also involved in property development – which means it is inevitable that it must deal with the state government.Here is a letter signed by Phang on behalf of Magnificent Emblem where KLIDC owner Tang Yong Chew is the majority shareholder and Phang the minority shareholder.

You can compare her signature with the one on the SD above.

DAP Insider

Despite Lim Guan Eng’s frequent denials that he was not involved in the award and the approvals of the KLIDC project, this document proves otherwise.

A 20th April 2012 memo sent by Dato Ng Wee Kok, a Special Assistant to Lim Guan Eng, sent using the letterhead of Chief Minister’s Office, shows that Lim Guan Eng had personally intervened to improve the plot density of the planned development of the Taman Manggis land for the benefit of KLIDC Sdn Bhd

This memo was addressed to the Penang State Secretary, Dato’ Seri Farizan Darus, and to then President of the Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang (MPPP) and now Mayor of the Penang Island City Counci, Datuk Patahiyah Ismail.

The memo states that personally written instructions (catatan) by Lim Guan Eng to the State Secretary and MPPP on a request letter from KLIDC was attached.

While I have not been able obtain the attached letter, my source have told me that it was specific instructions to increase the plot ratio of the approval from 1:55 to 1:7 – which gives building floor space approval equivalent to two additional plots of the Taman Manggis land.

Simple calculations using the increased plot ratio and a conservative commercial built-up price of RM300 to RM400 per square feet would show that this personal intervention by the CM would have increased the commercial value of KLIDC’s project by another RM30 million to RM40 million.

Recent signed and stamped sale documents by KLIDC exposed by Rahman Dahlan had shown the land and project is now worth RM70.6 million, a huge RM59 million windfall profit above the RM11.5 million paid to the state govt six years ago even though the land remains undeveloped.

We call on the investigating authorities to haul up the names in this leaked memo for immediate questioning to determine the truth about the memo and if the Chief Minister’s unusual personal intervention on a land matter and building approval may have unfairly benefited KLIDC and the value of their land.

The real story behind the sale of Taman Manggis land and the bungalow house controversy (En/Bm/Cn)

CM LIM GUAN ENG·MONDAY, 11 APRIL 2016

The real story behind the sale of Taman Manggis land and the bungalow house controversy

Introduction

UMNO and Barisan Nasional have been making various false accusations against the Penang state government and Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng over the sale of Taman Manggis land and the Chief Minister’s house. Through the BN-controlled mainstream media, the state government and the CM have been continuously attacked with false accusations. The following is the true story behind the issue.

Background of Taman Manggis Land

Taman Manggis land is located at the junction of Jalan Zainal Abidin and Jalan Burmah in George Town, Penang. According to a 2001 layout plan submitted by the National Housing Department (under the Housing Ministry) Taman Manggis was designated "for future development". A declassified Penang state EXCO minutes in 2005 shows that the BN state government had wanted to tender out the land to private developers for mixed-development projects with shop houses and government quarters.

LSS: It was a suggestion brought up for discussion that was not even approved. Even if it was approved, it would still be public housing and not sale to a private company. The fact that the DAP Penang Govt was still able to sell this land in 2009 shows that this proposal in 2005 did not proceed.

Another EXCO minutes in 2007 shows that the BN state government rejected the federal government's application to build public housing in Taman Manggis.

This is a blatant lie. The 2007 letter was from the federal govt to take ownership of the land of the ENTIRE Taman Manggis affordable housing project which is a standard practise by the federal govt - not just the 1.1 acres for phase 2. Please read the letter carefully and don't lie anymore.

In 2010, Kuala Lumpur International Dental Centre (KLIDC) had purchased the 1-acre land which was earmarked as “future development” via open tender to build a hospital to promote medical tourism.

For public and affordable housing, the Penang state government has allocated another 11-acre piece of land in Jalan S.P. Chelliah.

LSS: Again this is incorrect. The houses in the Chelliah project starts at RM72,500 +RM20,000 for a carpark. It is not a direct replacement for the PPRT projects in Taman Manggis Phase 2 where houses would be for rental at RM100 per month or sold for RM40,000 each.

In any case, why should it need to be a replacement when both projects can proceed together? Is it because Penang already have too many affordable homes already?

Open tender means awarding to the company that paid the highest price per square foot. KLIDC was the highest bidder in the open tender exercise.

The Penang State Tender Board that granted the bid to KLIDC is chaired by the Penang State Secretary. The Penang Chief Minister is not a member of the Tender Board.

LSS: It was never an open tender. Please know the difference.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) is an invitation to enter into negotiations. When the successful party is chosen, they have been granted the opportunity to negotiate with the owner/developer for the work, but they have not yet been awarded the contract.

In contrast, a call for tenders (or open tender) is a more formal, detailed process that gives the bidders the assurance that if they put forward the best bid, judged according to the criteria set out in the tender, they must, in accordance with the law, be awarded the job.

A RFP would NOT be an open tender.
A RFQ (Request for Quotation) would be an open tender.

In the Taman Manggis case, it is not an open tender at all. To even come close to anything considered as open, they would also have to open up all the bid proposals - whether the winner or the losers - to the public for scrutiny.

And it is also severely restricted in terms of bidders who have experience running a specialised medical center. (see picture)

Press Statement
Abdul Rahman Dahlan
BN Strategic Communications Director

April 5, 2016

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NO LONGER A QUESTION OF RM2.8 MILLION ONLY, BUT RM59 MILLION

● On 23 March 2016 during a parliamentary session, I revealed that evidence has been found in respect of the controversial land, previously designated for Phase 2 of an affordable housing project in Taman Manggis, Penang (“the land”).

● The said evidence suggests that a sub-sale transaction of the land might have taken place from KLIDC to a third party.

● Today, I have before me the duly signed and stamped Sale and Purchase Agreements dated 11 November 2015 of the land. The purchase price the sub-sale transaction is read at: RM70,643,628.00.

● The agreements that formed this sale are inter-alia connected to each other and are legally taken to mean one agreement, which reads:

1. The sale of Kuala Lumpur International Dental Center Sdn Bhd (KLIDC) for RM18,643,628; and
2. The sale of Victoria International Medical Centre Sdn Bhd (VMC) for RM52,000,000.

● Datuk Tang Yong Chew and his wife own all three companies – KLIDC, VMC and the vendors of VMC, Tang Renewable Energy Engineering – in majority.

● Based on the latest submission of accounts to SSM, KLIDC has a paid up capital of RM300,000 and negative net asset value of RM1.2 million.

● Meanwhile, VMC was created in Sept 2010, two months after the Taman Manggis land was awarded and has a paid up capital of RM500,000 with negative net assets of RM1.6 million.

● Further in the agreements, it is also stated that VMC had, on July 2011, executed a joint-venture agreement with KLIDC to develop the land.

● When read simultaneously, the two agreements appear to effect the sale of the Medical Center and Hotel project with the core asset being the land at Taman Manggis.

● In today’s property market, the asking price of commercial land along Jalan Burmah where this said lane is located can fetch up to RM1,000 psf or more.

● After my expose in Parliament recently, the Penang Chief Minister has denied that the land had been sold to a third party. But what he did not disclose is that the land is now held by KLIDC and the sale of the shares of KLIDC has the same effect of selling the land too.

● Given any standard government project and privatisation agreement, the `sale or change of ownership of a company, which has been awarded with a project, must be duly notified and approval to be obtained from the state government before such sale of shares can take effect.

● Did the Penang State Government notify of the sale of this project in Nov 2015 and subsequently give the approval?

● Or was this standard term deleted in the agreement between the state government and KLIDC?

● The land was originally sold to KLIDC on 16 Jun 2010 when DAP Penang Government had awarded it under a controversial RFP process at RM11,552,208.00 or at RM232 per square foot – a price many believe was grossly lower than the market value at the time.

● With the revelation before you today, on face value, the land previously allocated for public housing to benefit the poor has been sold to a private company at an allegedly underpriced value, without noticeable physical works on the land for almost six years after the award.

● This project had then been subsequently resold to a third party 5 years later - for a handsome price of RM70.6 million - a projected profit of RM59 million while the core project remains undeveloped.

● To this end, I have instructed my team to submit the sale and purchase agreements revealed today to SPRM and PDRM – along with other documents that we have uncovered. We hope that the documents will assist them to execute their job without fear or favour.

KLIDC: ZERO EMPLOYEES, Emphasis on Matter, negative asset values

The Chinese press have started doing their own investigations and found that even in 2010, KLIDC had net negative asset values.

Even in 2010, the auditors even questioned KLIDC and wrote in the accounts that there is significant doubt the company can continue to operate as a going concern - which led to an "Emphasis of Matter" in their accounts - essentially saying the company has negative assets and is technically bankrupt even then.

Perhaps Tony Pua can help explain this.

But still, the Penang Govt officially awarded the Taman Manggis PPR land RFP to a technically bankrupt KLIDC in July 2010 - beating out 3 other bidders that soon after the RFP closed, had strangely been dissolved, wound up or liquidated.

In fact the Chinese press even pulled out the financial statements for every every from 2010 to 2014 and found that the company have not been financially sound.

And worse - from 2013 to 2014, the number of employees dropped from 12 to ZERO. Revenue also dropped to zero.

Yes, there were zero employees in KLIDC in 2014.

But DAP YB and Penang EXCO Chow Kon Yeow recently confirmed that KLIDC had submitted an application for planning permission on Feb 12, 2014 to build one block of 24-storey building consisting of a hospital, car parks and hotel suites.

Planning approval was given by the Penang Govt on Nov 18, 2014 and the building plan as approved on April 7, 2015.

The leasehold for the Taman Manggis land also got immediately extended to the maximum 99 years term by the Penang Govt in April 2015.

Just three months later, LGE officially bought the Pinhorn Road bungalow and put it in his own name at a hugely undervalued price.

Wow.. ZERO employees and company is financially not viable in 2014 and the Penang Govt still gave approval ?

Who then applied in 2014? Ghosts from Pinhorn road applied?

No wonder Raja Bomoh needs to go there urgently.

Looks like the DAP Penang Govt and the Chief Minister has lots more new things to explain in this Skandal Banglo LGE.

A case of BAD FENG SHUI for all BIDDERS of Taman Manggis

According to official Penang State Assembl
y explanations on the sale of Taman Manggis to KLIDC, the first RFP was called on 10 August 2009 and only three companies participated due to the strict restriction that those who participate must have experience in running specialist medical centers.

They are:
- United Overseas Empire Sdn Bhd
- GM HealthCare Sdn Bhd
- KLIDC Sdn Bhd

This RFP exercise was then cancelled on 10 Sept 2009 because none of the companies bothered to turn up for the official site visit - hence breaking procurement rules.

A replacement RFP exercise was thus called on 16 Feb 2010. This time, a grand total of 4 companies submitted including the three earlier participants and a new bidfder, Ranting Setia Sdn. Bhd.

As we all know, it was KLIDC who won it - at that time owned majority owned by Phang Li Khoon's boss Datuk Tang Yong Chew.

But who are the other three companies who participated and did they have any experience in running "specialists medical center" and are they financially capable?

1. United Overseas Empire Sdn Bhd:
- amazingly incorporated two days after the first RFP was called and still managed to participate in time.
- company seems to be dormant after participating in the tender with zero revenues for the financial year 2010 and never having submitted any more reports to SSM since then for SIX years.
- The company status is now officially listed as dissolved.

2. GM HealthCare Sdn Bhd
- Company has gone bankrupt since June 2009 with negative asset value and never having submitted any more financial reports since 2010 for SIX years
- Receivers was appointed in 2011.
- The company status is now officially listed as WINDING UP.

3. Ranting Setia Sdn. Bhd
- The company seems to be dormant now or at least have not submitted any financial reports to SSM since the year 2009 - the past SEVEN years!
- In fact, their last official financial result was for the year 2008.
- The company status is now officially listed as STRIKING OFF

It is certainly strange that after participating in the RFP for Taman Manggis, all three companies failed to continue their operations and submit their accounts since.

And all three are ended up either Dissolved, Winding up or being Struck off.

Must be bad Feng Shui or Cultural Prejudice for those who bid for this RFP.

Only KLIDC seems to have survived the tender process but even then KLIDC which had millions in revenues in 2010-2011 suddenly dropped to zero for the latest financial year.

But this is another story which I will post and question later.

In the meantime, the DAP Penang Govt should practise transparency in the spirit of an actual open tender (instead of just a selective RFP) and publicly release all FOUR companies' proposals for us to understand why there is a mass case of bad feng shui.

From Malaysia Today:

The controversial Taman Manggis land fronts the Jalan Burma main road, diagonally opposite the New World Centre and Tune Hotel – certainly strategically located.

Jalan Burma is one of Georgetown’s main streets and leads from the popular tourist area of Penang Road, parallel with Gurney Drive for a while, before ending from the roundabout at the end of Gurney Drive.

When the DAP Penang government sold the 47,916 square feet. land previously allocated for public housing to KLIDC for RM232 p.s.f., many had said that this price was severely underpriced, with Penang Barisan Nasional saying it is worth at least double of that.

The Penang government however had defended the sale price saying it is slightly above the official JPPH valuation and done via “open tender”.

There are two things wrong with this excuse:

1) JPPH’s valuations are normally below market value and take into consideration the land use restrictions then (which the Penang government has not dared to release).

2) It was NOT an open tenderIt was a RFP restricted to those with experience in managing a specialist medical centre and able to get license for a medical centre.

This condition was CLEARLY stated in the RFP.In fact, the RFP was titled “Cadangan pembinaan dan pengurusan pusat perubatan pakar” – which, of course, severely restricts the potential bidders for the land, as not many people will be qualified.

If it was an open tender to just sell land for any purpose, the bid prices will certainly be much higher as more people will bid.

An RFP is an invitation to enter into negotiations.

When the successful party is chosen, they have been granted the opportunity to negotiate with the owner/developer for the work, but they have not yet been awarded the contract.

In contrast, a call for tenders (or open tender) is a more formal, detailed process that gives the bidders the assurance that if they put forward the best bid, judged according to the criteria set out in the tender, they must, in accordance with the law, be awarded the job.

Watch this video and join me in asking Guan Eng NOT to spin any more!

Written by P Ramakrishnan, Aliran

A person can choose to sell his property at whatever price he wants to sell. It is his prerogative.

It can be way below market value or far above the market price. It is his property and it is his decision. That is not criminal in nature and he has not committed any crime in doing so.

However, if his property was sold below market value in order to receive kickbacks in return, then it is something else. Whatever kickback he gets out of this deal not only will make good what he had lost in the sale, but he will also reap a greater profit from it. That would involve corruption.

The MP for Tasek Glugor, Shabudin Yahya, had implied an element of corruption in the purchase of a house allegedly bought at below market price by the chief minister of Penang. Shabudin had claimed that the purchase of the house in 2015 had links to the 2012 sale of a piece of state government land in Taman Manggis to the private company Kuala Lumpur International Dental Centre Sdn Bhd (KLIDC).

In other words, it was imputed that that piece of land in Taman Manggis was sold below market price in 2012 so that Guan Eng could get his bungalow below market price – three years later – in 2015 as a favour for selling the land cheaply. If that indeed was the case – and if it could be proven conclusively – then there is no question that a corrupt act had taken place.

But is that the case? Mere speculation does not become a fact.

A stamp duty has to be paid on the value of the property bought at the rate of 1% for the first RM100,000, 2% after that till RM500,000 and 3% for anything above RM500,000.

The valuation is done by the Valuation Department, which is a government agency. If the buyer had quoted a certain price for the property and if the Valuation Department came out with a higher valuation for the property, the buyer pays the higher percentage based on the higher valuation, unless that buyer is prepared to challenge that valuation in a court of law.

In the instant case, since the Valuation Department decided that the market price of the property should be RM4.1m, the buyer have had to pay RM39,000 extra in stamp duty on the RM1.3m differential between the transaction price and the valuation level.

Nobody is ever charged for quoting a lower price. It is not a criminal act. It is not an issue at all.

Coming back to the issue of corruption, we are told that the buyer of the bungalow, the chief minister of Penang, was not the chairman of the Tender Board. He wasn’t even a member.

From the relevant facts made available, the Taman Manggis land was sold through an open tender chaired by the State Secretary. It would mean that there were other bidders for the land as well. If that was the case, who then would be the rightful buyer?

Surely it must be the highest bidder. If the land was bought legitimately through the proper tender process, how does the question of corruption come into the picture then?

Is it implied that the entire Tender Board had colluded with the chief minister in selling this particular piece of land to KLIDC below market price? Is the integrity of the members of the Tender Board being questioned? What is the basis for this?

Were the other bidders in the open tender exercise influenced not to offer a higher price so that KLIDC could buy this land at their offered price? Who would have that kind of influence? Was there a puppet master controlling the open tender exercise?

If the entire tender process was above board, how does the question of corruption arise? Is it a cooked-up notion?

Was the element of corruption wilfully manufactured to implicate Guan Eng in the purchase of his bungalow below market price?

If Shabudin has irrefutable evidence to back up his claim, then he should say this publicly outside Parliament. It is a moral obligation. We would support him – indeed urge him – to do so.Guan Eng, who dismisses this allegation as lies, will be compelled to sue Shabudin, who can lay bare the evidence in Court and nail Guan Eng.

If Shabudin is out to get Guan Eng for committing corruption, then this would be the golden opportunity for him to achieve this.

Much hullabaloo is being created now about the affordable housing project that was intended on Taman Manggis – but not implemented – by the former BN government. When the BN was in power, it could have easily completed the housing project for the poor on this piece of land. But it would seem it had squandered that opportunity.

More evidence that demands a firm verdict.

You be the judge.

Do share your views.

This is the video. You be the judge.

According to The Star:

PETALING JAYA: A gag instruction on the Penang Chief Minister’s bungalow as well as the growing controversy over the Taman Manggis land has gone out to all DAP leaders.

The circular sent out by a Penang DAP official asked party leaders not to hold any press conferences or issue statements on the two issues that have rocked the party in Penang.

Only three leaders will be authorised to comment and they are secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, Penang DAP chairman and senior state exco member Chow Kon Yeow and party legal adviser and Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo.

According to the circular, this was to avoid making the situation more confusing or to have leaders commenting on what should and should not be said.

The circular also pointed out that this was to prevent any “accidental breach of sensitive information” given the seriousness of the issues.

The circular was meant for the party’s MPs, assemblymen, state committee members as well the Dapsy and Wanita leaders.

Acknowledging the attacks as a “well-planned by our opponent”, the circular called for full cooperation and unity in order to pull through the crisis.

The circular concluded by stating that: “We might have different views in handling these issues but at this moment unity is vital”.

Lim is alleged to have purchased the RM2.8mil Jalan Pinhorn bungalow at below market value.

Since then, his accusers have been releasing documents via social media alleging a connection between the purchase of the bungalow to a controversial project in Taman Manggis, Georgetown.

Lim has denied the allegations and said that he will cooperate with the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission which is investigating the matter.

There have been all kinds of statements coming from DAP leaders since the issue erupted two weeks ago.

Some of the statements have only made things more confusing and even comical such as the claim by Tanjung MP Ng Wei Aik that Lim is an accountant cannot be expected to do a valuation of his bungalow.

On Sunday, Seputeh MP Teresa Kok got flak for claiming that the low property value had to do with bad fengshui.Kluang MP Liew Chin Tong also came under fire for objecting to the heading of a report in The Star.

The National Union of Journalists said politicians should not intervene in the rights of a news publication’s choice of headline as it is merely the presentation of the news story.

Liew had criticised the headline of the report regarding the bungalow but admitted that the report was accurate.

DAP INSIDER

Since last year, the owner of KLIDC Sdn Bhd, Datuk Tang Yong Chew, has approached several parties to sell off the Taman Manggis medical center project which they paid RM11.5 million for.

That project was awarded by Lim Guan Eng’s Penang Govt in 2010 and six years later not a single brick was laid or a single hole dug. Today, it is still a boarded up field.

The generous Penang State Government has very kindly helped KLIDC increase the value of the project by changing the land usage to commercial land and shockingly approved the change of the land use conditions of the property from 100% medical facilities use only as stipulated in the original tender to 30% medical facilities and 70% hotel and serviced apartments – despite KLIDC not being able to get the project started even after six years.

If half the allegations made against him over the RM2.8 million bungalow are true, Lim Guan Eng's days as Chief Minister of Penang are numbered. I think he knows it.

Pool or no swimming pool, it's a mistake to think that you can fool the Rakyat. And I think deep inside he knows that, too. If Guan Eng thought the open house he held at his controversial bungalow for the selected media (for the record, I was not invited) would make him appear "open", like he had nothing to hide, well he thought wrong. Khir Toyo, the Selangor MB then, was convicted on what seemed to some to be a lesser sin. So Guan Eng will get no sympathies from the Rakyat on this matter. And certainly none from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

I am a believer that you're innocent until proven guilty, something I'm not sure Guan Eng abides by all the time.

I also believe that the MACC is more interested in Guan Eng's bungalow than a lot of people give them credit for. Many forget that eversince Teoh Beng Hock's death, Abu Kassim and the MACC have kept out of the DAP's way. Accusing of murder when that was not what happeend [MACC admits negligence, pays RM600k to TBH family], the MACC almost lost its will to probe the DAP for any alleged wrong-doing or corrupt practices. The case that it was investigating at the time of TBH's death, for example, was it ever pursued?

One got the impression that for the MACC, it was safer, after TBH, to go after alleged corruption involving the Federal government and the ruling BN coalition.

If there's evidence of corruption in the Penang bungalow case - and a lot of people are suggesting that there's more than enough of it (More damning evidence against LGE by Bujai] - Abu Kassim is gointg to go after Guan Eng like tonnes of bricks.

A lot at stake for Abu Kassim and the MACC

The MACC boss has lost some of the goodwill of his old die-hard supporters from the TBH days [read The bulls and bulls of Abu Kassim by A Voice], but I believe he will do his job, without fear or favour. I only hope the MACC will not go after Guan Eng with innuendos and incomplete investigations, and that they will be driven by a hunger for the truth and for redemption, not a need to get even ....

The Tender for the Taman Manggis land issued in Feb 2010 and won by Kuala Lumpur International Dental Center Sdn Bhd (KLIDC) was for development and management of a medical center.

After the Tender was won by KLIDC, the conditions attached for the use of the land as stipulated by the Tender was quietly changed via a letter to KLIDC in 2011.
