NFC scandal: Will BN do it right?

vox populi small thumbnail Rocky: Does it makes sense to pay in full for the condominiums, and then ask the developer to pay you back the rebate via a lengthy period?

It makes more sense to take the RM690,000 x 2 and leave it in the FD (fixed deposit) - that will make more returns. In fact, at yields of 2.9 percent, it is better to invest in FD where the money is more readily available if cash is needed by NFC (National Feedlot Corporation).

Property is not as liquid as cash, but maybe the NFC chairman knows something we don't know.

Gen2: The Chinese media were not invited to the media conference by the NFC because they are the only ones smart enough to calculate the return of investment on the spot.

If they were there at the media conference they would have straight away exposed the spin and tear the arguments to pieces. The other media, being BN stooges, will just swallow the ‘bullshit' as hallowed words from a corporate man.

Meanwhile, the BN gravy train chugs along dispensing taxpayers' monies to leeches and rent-collectors - all haram under Islam.

Jimmy Ng: Way to go, Kim Quek! This is by far one of the best point-for-point arguments I have come across which clearly and accurately depict the level of abuse of public funds and corruption within the current ruling regime.

I would be curious as to how they are going to rebut these points raised by Kim Quek. They have no shame nor feel any form of remorse for their foul deeds, and persisting in defending the indefensible.

The rakyat must no longer tolerate this kind of nonsense and ensure that they cast their votes wisely to ensure a better future for all.

FairMind: Not only is NFC hoodwinking the public over the massive misuse of funds which run into hundreds of millions, it is also hoodwinking the entire Muslim community.

NFC is importing mature cows from non-halal countries (in this case Australia) and who knows what was fed to the cows. After feeding them for a short period, they now claim that the cows have turned from non-halal to halal and given a halal certificate for Muslims to consume and for religious ceremony.

I don't see the Muslim NGOs, Jais (Selangor Islamic Affairs Department) and those muftis who outlawed the pago pago dance, yoga exercises and football jerseys raise a whimper.

Is consumption of potential non-halal meat, lying, corruption and massive misuse of funds not an issue for Muslims if Umno is the perpetrator?

'BN abused students' aid distribution for political gain'

ATToong: My daughter came home from school last week with a slip of paper carrying a notice from the school for parents to collect RM100 from 11am to 2pm, the following day.

I wrote on the slip that I authorised my daughter to collect the money on my behalf. After all, the money is for school children not for parents. But the school still refused to allow my daughter to collect the RM100.

Do the MOE (Ministry of Education) or the school expect working parents like me to take half-day leave and drive all the way to the school just to collect the RM100! What an unnecessary waste of resources.

Why can't the school give the money to my daughter?

Ben-ghazi: The rakyat's money should be given only to deserving families who cannot make ends meet, not to all and sundry.

What is the motive for this 'generosity' which nobody had asked to be given in the first place? I think only of one motive... to act as the carrot for the next GE13.

The BN supremo wants voters to remember BN when casting their votes. But the people are imbeciles and fools. They can smell a dead rat from miles away.

Freedom7: Just take the money. Pakatan Rakyat also gives out RM100 in the states they rule. If they don't allow the politicians into the school compound, then just erect a tent outside the school lah . After all, it's our money what...

Isa@1penyu: What a b**ls**t comment from Pakatan - don't they do the same. When PAS was in power in Terengganu, the PIBG (parents and teachers association) meetings must invite their leaders to their AGMs.

What is the difference? When PKR, PAS and DAP launched something they, too, get their leaders to give out the benefits to old folks.

VS-1965: ISA@1penyu, don't be dumb. It's the taxpayers' money, not Umno's. But, of course, Umno normally does not know the difference.

Armageddon: Giving away RM100 is like a bribe and it is unfortunate that young students are being exposed to such act.

Tajudin's sis-in-law seeking RM1.4mil from Naluri

James1067: Is it an offence to hire people with no qualifications to head a department of a public- listed company. Are we here to protect the shareholders or take the shareholders for a ride?

I am not a legal expert but definitely something is wrong for she is not doing her work and yet collecting her salary and perks.

Anonymous_3e86: Rizana Mohamad Daud should instead get the money from her brother-out-law, Tajudin Ramli. I'm sure from the money Tajudin had allegedly siphoned off from Naluri, MAS and Celcom, some belonged to her.

How thick-skinned to have demanded payment, after having drawn up her own contract. She might as well quit after a month and still get the 36 months' salary.

ACR: I would love to hear Kinabatangan MP Bung Mokhtar Radin and the other Umno MPs comments on this. Naluri owned MAS once.

Blind freddo: With scenarios like this, it's no wonder the overwhelming impression of Malaysia is one of ignorance, incompetence and greed.

Wfworker: Very soon, we will have ministers asking the Parliament to add Clause 18 to their appointments so that they should be paid RM1 billion should they get sacked for any reason, including corruption.
