The Firefighter's Plight




The Firefighter's Plight


I want to share the firefighter's plight with you. Let's say an arsonist started a fire. The firefighter then comes and tries to extinguish the fire. The arsonist then tries to sabotage the firefighter's effort.


In the late 80s, Chan Ah Chye, a former engineer and project manager in Selangor state subsidiary PKNS formed Talam Corporation. He was the crony of BN Menteri Besar, Muhammad Muhammad  Taib and became a major player in the Selangor development scene. An extremely large amount of state land was alienated to Talam for a song. Talam’s modus operandi was to use the land for huge loans to finance their projects. Talam’s loan kept growing. Talam also owed MBI (Menteri Besar Incorporated) a huge sum of money i.e RM392 million.


In 2008, Pakatan took over Selangor and Khalid Ibrahim became the MB. Khalid inherited a situation in which Talam owes MBI the said RM392 million. Khalid, an expert in corporate finance then planned to recover the RM392 million from Talam, which was owed to Selangorians. Khalid and his team succeeded. For a more information, please read Nathaniel Tan’s article :

The story does not end here. Chua Tee Yong then comes along and cries wolf. He claimed that MBI’s restructuring was tainted with scandal. However, Chua did not do his homework properly. He reduced the amount of money claimed to be ‘misused’ by Selangor - from RM1 billion, to RM260 million, to RM42 million. Using “The Star” as his mouthpiece, Chua continued attacking Pakatan with his malicious lies.


Summary : There you have it. A fire (Talamgate) started by an arsonist (BN). A firefighter (Pakatan) managed to extinguish the fire. Instead of thanking the firefighter for saving the fire, the arsonist (BN) tried to sabotage the firefighter’s (Pakatan) effort, by claiming that it was done wrongly !


What shall we do with an arsonist such as BN ? Kick the arsonist out in GE13 !!!

消防员的困境

我想和大家分享一个有关消防员的困境的比喻。

一名纵火犯正在点火,消防员接着赶到,企图扑灭这场火,可是此刻,纵火犯却企图暗算消防员,不让他灭火。
在八〇年代后期,雪州政府子公司PKNS成立了一家公司,名为达南集团(Talam Corporation),当时,前工程师陈雅才(Chan
Ah Chye)在里头担任计划项目经理。他是国阵州务大臣泰益的朋党,顺理成章的,也是雪州发展蓝图中重要的角色。当时,达南集团轻而易举的获得了州内大片的土地,达南集团的运作模式就是利用这些土地获得巨额贷款,以金援他们的发展计划。达南的贷款不断攀升,与此同时,达南也欠下州务大臣公司(Menteri
Besar IncorporatedMBI)巨款,数目高达三亿九千二百万令吉。

2008年,民联执政雪州,卡立伊布拉欣上任成为州务大臣。于是,达南集团欠下的三亿九千二百万令吉债务,也由州务大臣卡立所继承。卡立是一名企业财务专才,他设下重组计划,以协助达南集团摊还这笔对雪州人民欠下的三亿九千二百万令吉的贷款。卡立和他的团队的计划获得成功,纤细内容可参阅

可是,事情并未就此结束,此时蔡志勇突然杀出,大喊大叫。他声称州务大臣公司的重组计划当中有丑闻。他利用星报作为他的喉舌,利用他恶毒的谎言不断攻击民联。可是,蔡志勇却没把功课做好就胡乱发言,结果漏洞百出,把原本说过的十亿令吉『雪州滥用的款项』,一再的『修正』,结果由十亿令吉,二亿六千万令吉,最后降低至四百二十万令吉。

如果使用上述比喻,这把火(达南门)由纵火犯(国阵)开始点燃,消防员(民联)成功灭火,可是纵火犯(国阵)却不感激消防员,反而企图暗算消防员(民联),指责它做错事。

像国阵这样的纵火犯,我们该怎么做呢?方案只有一个,在第13届全国大选时,把这个纵火犯踢出局!

  1. An extension of that is the recent lousy remedial comment UMNO Selangor has with regards to the Selangor land purchase at RM1 per square feet is that in 2008 GE, UMNO Selangor has been punished hence no need for jeoparthy.

    Rebuttal no 1
    The voters did not know this in 2008 hence the punishment dished out should be even higher

    Rebuttal no 2
    Since now we know what UMNO Selangor is very very good at, would we like to let them repeat it? Especially when the property prices are beyond the ability of many to afford while those who have acquired a propery have to shoulder a life time committment?

    Rebuttal no 3
    The punishment is not hard, long and comprehensive enough. If such mess is discovered in a single state over land matters, we Malaysians need to know everything at national level over land, petroleum, concessions, food supply, utilities, outsourcing of government activities such as MyEG and AES and everyting else which hitherto remain unknown to the public
