The Full History and Full Truth

DEWAN UNDANGAN NEGERI SARAWAK
HANSARD DATED 18 NOVEMBER 2011
AND ITS EXPUNGED PART


Y.B. Encik Wong King Wei:

ALIENATION OF GOVERNMENT QUARTERS LAND

Since past decades of two, the State Government has destructed many of the Government quarters which were built on prime lands. All these prime lands were taken from government quarters use and alienated to private companies.

Amongst all, three cases of alienation of prime land of this kind have been highlighted in Auditor General Report 2010. I will talk about one of these cases. A piece of land located at Tanjung Lobang area Miri comprised in nine lots at the total area of about 90 acres or 36.44 hectares has been alienated to a company named Shoreline Development Sendirian Berhad in year 1995. The said alienation is for the purpose of inter alia development of land into housing estate. One of the conditions of the such alienation was that the said company, Shoreline Sendirian Berhad is required to replace the 28 units of quarters with new 31 unit of quarters, which the company has completed in early July 2010. The other condition of the said alienation was the said company has to pay the State Government premium in the total sum of RM2.63 million or about RM29,207.55 per acre.

A prime land in Tanjung Lobang can easily go to RM2.5 million per acre and not RM2.63 million for about 90 acres. If the said piece of state land is to be alienated by way of open tender or open auction and if it is sold at RM2.5 million per acre, the state will be generating a total revenue of RM225.113 million and not merely RM2.63 million.

My Honorable Members from Barisan Nasional, the State has lost RM222.483 million of revenue in this single exercise. Are you going to say that the 31 quarters replaced by the company is worth RM222.483 million?

Tuan Speaker: Ahli Yang Berhormat, you have two minutes more.

Y.B. Encik Wong King Wei: Yes. Are you going to say it costs the State Government about RM7 million per quarter? Who owns this Shoreline Development Sendirian Berhad? The said companies is jointly owned by two companies in equal shares, namely Plieran Sendirian Berhad and Sarawak Land Sendirian Berhad Plieran Sendirian Berhad is wholly owned by KBE (Malaysia) Sendirian Berhad. Daya Syukra Sdn. Bhd. owns 60 percent of the total share in KBE (Malaysia) Sendirian Berhad.

Tuan Speaker: It is only on substantive motion, you have been mentioning the Chief Minister all over again just now. It is only on substantive motion. You cannot speak and ambush. Speak and ambush. I will hereby direct the Secretary to expunge the offended parts.

Tuan Speaker: It must be on substantive motion. You cannot just speak like this. I will not allow.

Y.B. Encik Wong King Wei: Why? Why has to be a substantive motion?
Why only Chief Minister, we have to move a motion?
Why only when we talk about Chief Minister we have to move a motion?

Tuan Speaker: No. You will conclude.
