Question submitted to demand answers on Balkis

Media Statement by Lau Weng San (ADUN Kampung Tunku) in Petaling Jaya on Thursday, 1st May 2008:

Question submitted to demand answers on Balkis

Yesterday was the last day for Selangor state assemblymen and women to submit their questions for oral and written replies.

The state assembly is scheduled to convene on 21st May to 26th May. All questions for oral and written replies must be submitted not later than 21 days before the state assembly is called for meeting according to the Standing Order.

I have submitted altogether ten questions for oral replies and ten questions for written replies. My first question for oral reply touches on the recent Balkis fiasco where former Balkis chairperson, Datin Seri Zaharah Kechik is alleged to have “smuggled” a total of RM9.9 million Balkis fund to be placed under Bakti.

In my question to the Menteri Besar, I have asked for the latest investigation from Registrar of Society (ROS). My question is as below:

Bertanya kepada Y.A.B Dato’ Menteri Besar: -

a) Apakah siasatan terbaru daripada Pendaftar Pertubuhan terhadap pembubaran Balkis, urusan-urusan tanah dan kewangannya?

b) Apakah tindakan yang akan diambil terhadap mereka yang menyalahgunakan kuasa khususnya pemindahan wang RM9.9 juta?

c) Meminta satu senarai penuh aktiviti Balkis dari tahun 2004 hingga 2007.

I hope that the Balkis office, Registrar of Societies (ROS) can furnish all relevant information to the office of the state government as it could be a breach of state assembly’s privilege if the relevant offices refuse to furnish such information, and that the matter could be referred to the Committee of Privileges of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly Hall.
