BILA AHLI PARLIMEN BERSUARA
Bung Mokhtar hits out at Syed Mokhtar, Zeti
The Kinabatangan MP urges the government to
stop Syed Mokhtar from monopolising business in the country and get
someone to replace Bank Negara governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz.
KUALA
LUMPUR: Kinabatangan MP Bung Mokhtar Radin launched a broadside against
business tycoon Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary and Bank Negara governor Zeti
Akhtar Aziz at the Parliament today.
In his criticism against Syed Mokhtar, Bung Mokhtar questioned the
Finance Ministry’s rationale in allowing the billionaire to control mega
businesses in the country at the expense of other businessmen.
“He wants Keretapi Tanah Melayu, he wants Mass Rapid Transit. He
wants everything on land, sea and air. Given a chance, he will even do
business in the graveyard,” said the outspoken MP.
He also said that it was not fair for other businessmen and pointed
out that there were other capable bumiputeras out there who could work
on projects as effectively.
“Even open tenders for small businesses, Syed Mokhtar will be there. Don’t let one man control everything,” said Bung Mokhtar.
He also said that the government should be mindful as the people were
watching and urged the relevent authorities to come up with a mechanism
to keep tabs on monopolistic system.
“This thing keeps happening. Last time we had Tajuddin Ramli
controlling MAS but what happened? At the end, government had to take
responsibility for its losses.
“That’s why I object to monopoly. Don’t depend on one person to control our economy,” said Bung Mokhtar.
Sack the governor
Sack the governor
On Zeti, Bung Mokhtar urged the Finance Ministry to probe the Bank
Negara governor for allegedly being negligent in monitoring the rising
numbers of gold trading companies in Malaysia.
He was referring to the recent raid by Bank Negara on four gold
trading companies for allegedly being involved in various malpractises.
The companies raided were Genneva Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Pageantry Gold Bhd, Caesar Gold Sdn Bhd and Worldwide Far East Bhd.
“There were complaints made against some of the companies in the past
five years but no action was taken. Why did Bank Negara raid and freeze
their assets only after they have grown big?
“Looks like governor was sleeping on the job. If that’s the case,
it’s time for the government to find someone who can really monitor our
financial system better,” said Bung Mokhtar.
The Sabah MP also urged Bank Negara not to penalise the investors for
the wrongdoings of the companies. His statement received the support of
Sri Gading MP Mohamad Aziz.
He added that it was only fair for the central bank to return money to investors first before freezing the companies assets.
“People are worried whether they will get their money back or not.
Next time, return their money first before taking action against errant
companies,” he said.
