Speech By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng During The Signing Of The Memorandum Of Understanding(MOU) Between Penang Development Corporation (PDC) And DK ENC Company Ltd In Seoul, Korea On 30.10.2008 Released In Penang On 1.11.2008.



The US$ 100 Million Golf Course In Batu Kawan Is A Testimony Of The Confidence Of Korean Investors In Penang’s Future Despite The Global Financial Crisis And Belief In Our Commitment To Transforming Penang Into An International City.
The Penang state government welcomes the signing of the MOU between PDC and DK ENC to build a US$ 100 million golf course in Batu Kawan as a testimony of the confidence of Korean investors in Penang’s future in spite of the global financial crisis. By proceeding ahead with the golf project during such uncertain times, Korean investors have also signalled their belief in the new government’s commitment to transforming Penang into an international city.
To transform Penang into an international city, we want participation from all nationalities. We have investors from many countries. But we need to work harder to get more investors from some countries such as Korea, without which Penang can not claim to be a truly international city.


Korea has achieved tremendous success in growing its economy from a poor war-torn state to a developed nation. The success of Korea can be seen by its per capita GNP of only US$130 as compared to Malaysia’s US$350 in 1966. Korea’s GNP per capita is now more than US$18,000 as compared to Malaysia’s US$6,000/-. From almost three times better off than Korea 42 years ago, Malaysia is now three times worse than Korea.


The remarkable economic success of Korea was achieved without any natural resources such as oil and commodities, except for its people. There is much to learn from the success of Korea’s economic transformation based on a culture of excellence, a strong work ethic, openness to new ideas and mastery of technology.


Penang bears some similarities in that we are also without natural resources. Penang’s success was built on our human resources and our faith in the ability of the people. Korea’s GDP of US$982 billion in 2007 comprising of 57% services and 40% manufacturing mirrors Penang’s small US$7.5 billion economy. Penang hopes not only to attract investors and tourists to the beautiful city of Penang but also learn how we can replicate Korea’s success.
Everyone knows that Korea’s success does not rest in economic performance alone but also in its popular pop culture, famous throughout Asia, and its sporting athletes. Korean lady golfers are the best in the world reflecting the Korean love for golf.


This US$ 100 million project by DK ENC, which has a track record of building golf courses not only in Korea but also in Ho Chi Minh city, will not only give opportunity for Koreans to indulge in your love for golf but also offer employment and business opportunities for Penangnites. This US$ 100 million mixed development golf project when completed in 2013, will be the most expensive in Penang.


To make Penang a unique attractive destination, we will be taking measures to improve safety and security on one of the safest cities in Malaysia. We will also be improving on traffic and transportation systems as well as communications facilities. Penang will be the first wifi state in Malaysia when our free wireless and affordable wimax services are completed in 2 years. By then anyone can be connected to the Internet any time, any place and any where in Penang for free.


Penang is proud to be the only state promoting Korea in Malaysia. We organised the Korean Food Fest last month and will be organising a Korean cultural performance at the end of this year. By heading a 52-member business delegation to participate in the Asia Pacific Tourism and Investment Conference during the middle of the global financial crisis shows that Penang is committed in welcoming Korean investors or tourists and sincere in being your friend. We offer our friendship and co-operation towards greater prosperity together.

If Razak didn’t order the killing, who did?-SLOONE BLOG

Pix: Altantuya’s bones.From the Asia Sentinel:

If Abdul Razak Baginda didn’t order two elite cops to kill a Mongolian translator, who did?
After one of the lengthiest trials in Malaysian history, a politically well-connected insider was acquitted Friday of ordering the murder of his jilted lover, a woman whose death had the potential to reach into the highest levels of the ruling party.

With the acquittal of political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, the question was left hanging of who ordered the murder of Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibuu on October 19, 2006, allegedly by Police Inspector Azilah Hadri and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar. After ordering Abdul Razak freed, High Court Judge Mohd Zaki Md Yasin ordered the two put on a defense.
Altantuya, aged 28 at the time of her death, was executed by two shots to the head in a jungle clearing near the Kuala Lumpur suburb of Shah Alam on October 19, 2006 and her body was blown up with C4 explosives available only to the military. She reportedly had come to Malaysia to confront Abdul Razak over his decision to end their affair.

The two belonged to an elite bodyguard unit under the control of Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, who appears likely to become the country’s next prime minister, and who was one of Abdul Razak’s best friends.

During the 151-day trial, in which 84 prosecution witnesses testified, none of them was Najib although two statutory declarations and other evidence linked him to the dead woman. According to a detailed sworn statement by P. Balasrubramaniam, a private investigator that Abdul Razak hired to keep Altantuya away from him after he had broken off their affair, the political analyst told him he had inherited the Mongolian woman as a lover from Najib because Najib didn’t want to be harassed as deputy prime minister.

However, almost immediately after Balasubramaniam made the statement public, he was hustled to the Brickfields police station in Kuala Lumpur where he said he had been coerced into making the statement and recanted it entirely. He and his entire family have since disappeared. Raja Petra Kamaruddin, the influential blogger who printed the statement in his Internet publication Malaysia Today, was arrested under the country’s Internal Security Act and is serving two years in prison. He is also being sued for criminal defamation over some of his reports that tied Najib and his wife, Rosmah Mansor, to the murder. He has also been charged with sedition for publishing other articles on the murder.

Rosmah has denied Raja Petra’s allegations but said she would not sue. Asked why not, she told local media on July 1: “If you are innocent, what is there for you to address? I am not a politician and I am not running for any post. I’m just the wife of a politician.”

If Najib or his wife had filed the charges, under the law they would be subject to motions for discovery and cross-examination, which presumably would not happen if the state instead filed the charges. More than once the filing of defamation charges has bounced back on the plaintiff because of that reason.

According to evidence introduced at the trial and other sources, Abdul Razak contacted Najib’s chief of staff, Musa Safri, to ask Najib’s bodyguards, Azilah and Sirul, to “do something” about Altantuya. Musa was not required to appear as a witness. Deputy Commander Mastor Mohd Ariff, an associate of the two bodyguards, said members of the unit were required to follow all orders of their superiors without question, describing the unit’s members as “like robots” who would only take orders from their superiors. Abdul Razak, a civilian and friend of Najib’s, was not a superior officer. According to an affidavit filed by Abdul Razak, Azilah contacted Abdul Razak after Altantuya’s disappearance to say that “tonight encik (sir), you can sleep well.”

Testimony by the murdered woman’s cousin indicated that immigration records of Altantuya and the two Mongolian companions who had come to Malaysia with her to confront Abdul Razak disappeared from the government’s immigration files. She also responded to a question that she had seen a picture of Altantuya having dinner with Najib before she was hurriedly hushed up by both prosecution and defense lawyers.

Nonetheless, Judge Mohd Zaki dismissed a bid in July to call Najib as a witness in the trial. Zaki also refused to call Balasubramaniam despite his written declaration, which implicated Najib in the events leading up to the murder. In addition to other lurid details, Balasubramaniam described text messages between Najib and Abdul Razak in which the latter was asking for help to avoid arrest.

Later, a series of text messages was made public indicating that Najib had been involved in finding a lawyer, Shafee Abdullah, to represent Abdul Razak. One message from Shafee to Najib said: “We provided (the police) everything, including old PDAs and notebooks and a couple of bills. Nothing incriminating.” Malaysia Today said the exchange raises questions if anything “incriminating” was kept from the police.

Besides allegations that Altantuya was the lover of both men, the case has raised additional concerns of corruption at the top of the United Malays National Organisation, the leading political party in the national ruling coalition. The Mongolian woman appears to have been the translator on a controversial transaction in which Malaysia, with Najib as defense minister, paid €1 billion for French submarines, netting a company tied to Abdul Razak US$111 million in “commissions.”

A letter written by Altantuya shortly before she disappeared indicated that she was attempting to blackmail Abdul Razak for US$500,000, raising suspicions that she had inside knowledge of the transaction. The woman’s father, Shaariibuu Setev, a psychology professor in Ulan Bataar, said she had been killed because she “knew too much,” although he never elaborated on what she knew.

The trial has been rife with other irregularities. At the start, the original judge was replaced by Mohd Zaki. The prosecution was hurriedly changed so quickly that the trial had to be postponed. There were numerous attempts to limit the introduction of physical evidence. Sirul’s confession was ruled invalid because it was not cautioned.

The prosecution also sought to impeach two of its own important witnesses. One, Lance Corporal Rohaniza Roslan, was the girlfriend of the senior of the two bodyguards and said she saw Altantuya being taken away in a car by her boyfriend. Later she said her testimony had been coerced. Another was Yusri Hasan Basri, a member of the bodyguard team and a colleague of Sirul, who said he had important information on physical evidence in the home of another of the bodyguards.

RAZAK BAGINDA AKAN DITAHAN SEMULA???

Abdul Razak boleh ditahan semula
03/11/2008 2:39pm

PUTRAJAYA 3 Nov. - Penganalisis politik, Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda yang dibebaskan daripada tuduhan bersubahat membunuh wanita Mongolia, Altantuya Shaariibuu berdepan kemungkinan ditahan semula atau dibebaskan dengan jaminan jika pihak pendakwa mengemukakan rayuan terhadap pembebasannya.

Peguam Karpal Singh selaku peguam pemerhati keluarga Altantuya dan Kerajaan Mongolia berkata, permohonan untuk waran tangkap dan jaminan itu boleh dikemukakan bagi mengelakkan Abdul Razak, 48, yang dibebaskan Jumaat lalu melarikan diri ketika rayuannya didengar di Mahkamah Rayuan.

``Seksyen 56(A) Akta Mahkamah Kehakiman (COJA) 1964 menyatakan, pendakwa boleh mengemukakan permohonan di mahkamah agar Abdul Razak dibebaskan dengan jaminan atau waran tangkap dikeluarkan untuk menahannya sementara menunggu rayuan selesai,'' ujar beliau ketika ditemui pemberita di Istana Kehakiman di sini hari ini.

Terdahulu, Karpal mewakili keluarga Altantuya meminta Jabatan Peguam Negara merayu terhadap keputusan pembebasan penganalisis politik itu tanpa dipanggil membela diri daripada tuduhan bersubahat membunuh Altantuya.

Malaysia: Spl committee to look into plight of ethnic Indians

Kuala Lumpur, Nov 3 Malaysian government has said that the plight of the minority ethnic Indians in the country was being seriously looked into by a special cabinet committee to ensure that the community had participation in the national economy and equity.
The Indian community's plight was being seriously looked into by a committee chaired by me, Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak, who won the presidency of the ruling UMNO party unopposed, said.

"Tamil schools, for instance, will be progressively nationalised so that they get better facilities and aid. Micro-credit facilities will be extended to small-scale businesses," he said.
Ethnic Indian, mostly Hindu Tamils, form eight percent of Malaysia's population of 27 million and have been in this southeast Asian country for several generations now. Their ancestors came as indentured labourers brought in by the British to build railways and help out at rubber plantations.

Najib, who got 164 nominations to become president of the United Malay National Organisation - the main party in the coalition Barisan Nasional party, said the technical training for Indian youths will be enhanced as they transform themselves from the estate environment to skilled professional workers.

Several hundred ethnic Indians still work at palm oil estates and have a poor standard of living in this multi- ethnic country where Muslim Malays are in majority with 60 per cent population while ethnic Chinese comprise 25 per cent.

The deputy premier, whose name came up for presidency of the UMNO party after premier Abdullah Badawi announced his decision to step down in March next year, said Barisan Nasional party had always "looked into the legitimate needs and grievances of each community, although some of it may be unique to a particular group." The Barisan Nasional comprises the UMNO, the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) and the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA).

Najib, who was attending 'Malaysia Deepavali Open House 2008' at Kuala lumpur's little India area called Brickfields yesterday, said MIC chief Samy Vellu had asked him to refer to Indians cutting hair as hairstylists and not barbers and Indian cooks as Chefs.
He said the government would soon look into the plight of 30,000 Indians born in the country who did not have the Malaysian identity card MyKad or birth certificates.
"We want to ensure a future for all Malaysians and stakeholders, irrespective of race, so that they can live harmoniously.

"We have to appreciate the values, practices and trust among the various communities. If, for the Indians we have the bharatanatyam, the Malays have the zapin and the Chinese the fan dance, which are enjoyed by all." In Malaysian politics, usually the president of the UMNO also becomes the prime minister. (Agencies)

Beliau berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas usaha Pakatan Rakyat menubuhkan kerajaan di peringkat Pusat sebagaimana yang diuar-uarkan oleh Ketua Umum Parti Keadilan Rakyat (KeADILan) sebelum ini.

"Kita sedang tunggu perubahan ahli-ahli parlimen Umno dan Barisan Nasional yang lain, tidak mustahil ia (perubahan kerajaan peringkat pusat) akan berlaku,
"walaupun sukar, tidak mustahil ia berlaku dengan perpecahan yang berlaku kepada Umno sekarang,"kata beliau dalam sidang media yang diadakan selepas beliau merasmikan Ijtimak Kepimpinan PAS Negeri Terengganu Kali Ke-12 yang diadakan di Dewan Dato' Seri Amar DiRaja, Chukai, dekat sini semalam.

Buletinonline melaporkan, Ustaz Hadi berkata, perubahan kerajaan pernah berlaku dalam (keputusan pilihan raya) tahun 1990 ekoran perpecahan yang berlaku dalam Umno akhir tahun 1980-an dan telah berlaku perubahan (dalam pilihan raya) tahun 1999 kerana masalah yang sama berlaku dalam Umno.

"Sebagaimana perubahan boleh berlaku pada akhir tahun 80an bila Tengku Razaleigh keluar dari Umno, dan berlaku lagi pada 1999 bila Anwar dipecat (dari Umno).
"Dan boleh berlaku lagi dengan pergolakan (dalam Umno) yang berlaku sekarang, bahkan Musa Hitam berkata Umno sudah dihinggapi penyakit tua,"tegas beliau yang masih yakin perubahan boleh berlaku dan Pakatan Rakyat akan mengambil alih kerajaan pusat.

Bagaimanapun apabila diminta untuk mendedahkan siapakah pemimpin Umno yang telah menyertai Pakatan Rakyat, beliau menjawab "bila tiba masanya" beliau akan mendedahkannya.

IT IS A SCANDAL?

PENANG GOVERNMENT SCANDAL - malaysiakini
Posted by MAKKAL SHAKTI at 3:10 AM
by CHARLES HECTOR of http://charleshector.blogspot.comWasting the peoples' money is wrong. The quantum is immaterial. BN may have squandered billions, but it cannot justify Pakatan squandering even thousands.A good question for Lim Guan Eng - Why send 52 persons for a 5 day 'trade-mission' to South Kora? How much did the State spend? Who were in this large delegation? How were they chosen? Were they Pakatan cronies? Did the wife pay for herself?


The state government came under fire from local BN leaders, especially from Umno and Gerakan, for allegedly wasting public funds in an unusually large 52-person trade delegation to South Korea for a five-day trip beginning Oct 27.They also questioned the reasons for Lim to take along his wife, Betty Chew, Deputy Chief Minister Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin and parliamentarians Jeff Ooi, who is the state industrial relations coordinator and an InvestPenang director, Liew Chin Tong, to South Korea. - Malaysiakini, 2/11/2008 - Lim defends Korean trade missionI read the Malaysiakini report entitled "Lim defends Korean trade mission" but alas, it looked very much like any other BN politician.Distract-- he talked about "He said the critics, mainly Barisan Nasional politicians, should have instead saved their time and energy to scrutinise and criticise the RM23.7 billion wastage caused by three major scandals
recently...."Not really respond - Reading the report, I am sad to say that the questions have not been answered. When asked to divulge the BUDGET - he procrastinated, saying that some other will provide answers in a few days. Come now - is he not the Chief Minister. Are we not in an age when it is so easy to communicate and get necessary information?And most shocking was that the trip had only managed to get some money to build a GOLF COURSE....

Lim said BN politicians should have criticised those scandals if they were serious and sincere to wiping out wastage and leakages of public funds, instead of disapproving his Far East delegation, which had secured a RM100 million Korean investment to construct a golf course in the Batu Kawan parliamentary constituency.- Malaysiakini, 2/11/2008 - Lim defends Korean trade missionI think Kit Siang would also not be able to defend what Guan Eng did here....this nice 5 day trip to South Korea for 52 persons. I only hoped that they did not use State Money to pay for the 52.Maybe the Malaysiakini report was not complete and accurate - BUT tell me where I can find out the truth about this 'scandal'
