蔡智勇揶揄不會看財務報表‧“潘沒資格跟我辯論”

（布城19日訊）馬華青年專才局主任的蔡智勇揶揄民主行動黨全國宣傳秘書潘儉偉身為行動黨的經濟學家，竟然連雪州投資機構（PSNB）年度財務報表（balance sheet offinancial statement）也不會看，因此指後者沒資格就雪州政府用10億令吉拯救達南集團（Talam）的指責，跟他進行辯論。

他表示很驚訝潘儉偉竟然把雪州投資機構的資產總額及流動資產總額混為一談，他說，要算出一家公司真正的淨總資產，應扣除該公司負債資產，但潘儉偉卻沒這麼做。

資產及負債總額同時增長
他指出，根據潘儉偉的說法，雪州投資機構的資產總額逐年增長，從2008年的1億110萬令吉，增至2009年的1億150萬令吉，同時在2011年更達8億2300萬令吉資產總額，期間資產總額漲幅近8倍。

他指潘儉偉忘記告訴大家，資產總額增加的同時，負債總額也增長，雪州投資機構的負債總額已從2009年的2千700萬增加至2011年的4億9千700萬令吉。

蔡智勇表示：“我對雪州投資機構的資產總額有增長的說法沒有異議。但問題是，潘儉偉不懂得怎樣計算及看財務報表。”

他說，實際上雪州投資機構在2008年的資產總額應該是3億100萬，及2009年資產總額則是3億400萬令吉。

流動資產總額非資產總額
他指潘儉偉提供給媒體的數據有差別，並現場出示有關機構的年度財務報表，指潘儉偉給予的1億110萬令吉及1億150萬令吉的數據，其實是當年的流動資產總額，並非資產總額，兩者是有差別的。

他調侃潘儉偉說：“幸好他不是合格的會計師，若是的話，那就是濫用了（專業）。有時候，你說得越多，只是在騙自己，若你要這樣做沒問題，但請不要誤導民眾。”

此外，他也質疑，為何武吉柏倫東2與八丁燕帶（Bestari Jaya）兩片土地，至今沒有大型發展計劃，而且每年仍得繳交8千600萬令吉的銀行利息

Young Professionals Bureau – Talam & S’gor state govt need to clarify portion for debt recovery and cash

MCA HQ, 5 July – After MCA Young Professionals Bureau chairman Datuk Chua Tee Yong had exposed a RM1billion scandal involving the Pakatan Selangor state government to bailout Talam Corp, a new questionable transaction was unveiled when the member of Parliament for Labis revealed that the Pakatan state government had purchased 2,263 acres of land at Bestari Jaya for RM181million at RM80,000 per acre when the valuer for Talam had evaluated the landplot at RM60,000 per acre or RM 139 million at market rate.

To a question, Tee Yong remarked that “what I understand is that this is a land transaction for the debt recovery exercise. Some parts, the state government used to offset the debt … some part, the state has to give cash for the land… but the portion, I hope that Talam can disclose which part of it is for land transaction is for debt recovery. That one I don’t know. You need to ask Talam.”

On the planned lawsuit which the Selangor state government has announced it will take against our party, Tee Yong was asked to comment to which he replied “the Selangor Pakatan government can do what they want and I will continue doing what is necessary.”

Earlier, he informed that “we have not received anything. How to comment?” while adding that “we have not received any letter and don’t know if they are suing MCA, me or whoever attended the press conference.” He later quipped, “I asked, and they did not clarify. And now they say they want to sue.”

Two years later and still no White Paper on Talam debt recovery

To another question, the MCA state Assemblyman for Kuala Kubu Baru Wong Koon Mun highlighted that “the Selangor state government has passed the Freedom of Information Enactment 2010 at the assembly. They were considerate to let the rakyat seek information.” In outlining the contradictions practised by the Pakatan state government, Koon Mun who is also the MCA Selangor Secretary pointed out that “the Menteri Besar doesn’t understand that he no longer is a corporate figure but an MB. The rakyat have right to know about the transaction and money usage between state government and Talam. Everytime there is issue, he says ‘I will sue you. That is not a transparent government.”

Simultaneously, Koon Mun also brought attention to the White Paper on Talam’s restructuring which the MB pledged that he would furnish in 2010 but is obviously evading or delaying submitting it. “He then said he would release it in 2013. It is no longer a question of whether he will reply in 2013 but that he does not want to answer. In 2013, he may not be the state government!”

On Tee Yong’s his view regarding the Selangor select committee on competency, accountability and transparency (Selcat), the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry replied that “I have not much faith or confidence in Selcat when it is investing its own government.”

Datuk Chua Tee Yong: Pakatan Selangor overspending RM42million on land sale to Talam

Press Release by Datuk Chua Tee Yong on Pakatan Selangor overspending RM42million on land sale to TALAM

1. Today, I want to congratulate Talam for their exceptional business negotiating skills with the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government in terms of debt recovery exercise.

2. The Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government has been claiming that the state government has benefited the rakyat in the Talam debt recovery exercise. However, I think the one that has benefit the most and smartest is Talam. Why do I say so?

3. Talam sold a 2,263 acres of leasehold land located at Bestari Jaya, to the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government at a price of RM80,000 per acre, costing RM181 million.

4. However, a valuation report to Talam, dated October 11, 2010 by Mitra Valuers and Property Consultants Sdn Bhd, states that the leasehold land of 2,263 acres market value is only valued at RM139 million or RM60,000 per acre provided the land is being free from encumbrance. This valuation report is conducted for purpose of assessing market value for the sale of the land to Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government relating to debt recovery exercise.






5. So, Talam has successfully sold the land at higher price of RM 42 million above market value. The question I want to ask Talam, is how did they manage sell it at a price above market value considering the fact that this land is encumbered and is still charged to financial entities.

6. In addition, I am also made aware that out of the 2,263 acres of land, there are probably 1,013 acres of land, representing 44% of the land that have the following complications based on the valuation report:



I. 438 acres of the land are underwater lands. For this underwater portion, it requires additional RM 50 million to 100 million based on current estimates, just to fill up before any construction work can start.

II. There are also 575 acres of the land which is stated as ‘forest and ecology reserves’ which has little commercial value.

7. The question remains in mind now is how did Talam manage to convince Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government to buy this land at such a higher price of RM 42 million above the market value, although there is 1,013 acres of lands with complications and it is encumbered.

8. This deal gives rise to much speculation, either:

I. Talam is good in negotiation; OR
II. Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government is NOT aware of the true scenario; OR
III. Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government is incompetent; OR
IV. Rakyat’s money is NOT important.
