"Perjuangan Al-Marhumah YB Dr Lo'lo Perlu Diteruskan"
Dewan Pemuda PAS Kawasan Titiwangsa mengucapkan takziah di atas kembalinya Almarhumah YB Dr Lo'lo' binti Hj Ghazali ke pangkuan Allah SWT semalam dan Alhamdulillah selamat dikebumikan jam 11.30 tengahari tadi.
Sememangnya pemergian beliau sangat dirasai oleh seluruh ahli Dewan Pemuda PAS Titiwangsa kerana peranan beliau yang sangat penting dalam perjuangan PAS di Titwangsa dan semestinya ia amat sukar dicari ganti.
Almarhumah YB Dr Lo'lo' juga seorang yang gigih berjuang dan telah berjaya dengan segenap tenaga beliau melaksanakan amanah yang telah diberikan oleh rakyat kepadanya. Dan ini terbukti beliau telah berjaya menempatkan diri di hati masyarakat parlimen Titiwangsa khususnya selepas beliau diamanahkan sebagai wakil rakyat pada pilihanraya ke-12 yang lalu.
Walaupun peruntukan tahunan yang sepatutnya disalurkan kepada setiap ahli parlimen disekat, ia tidak mematahkan semangat beliau untuk terus berjuang memberikan khidmat kepada rakyat di Titiwangsa sehingga nafas beliau yang terakhir.
Jasa dan peranan beliau sangat besar, dan sifat beliau sebagai seorang ibu yang sering memberi teguran dan nasihat kepada Pemuda tidak akan kami lupakan malah akan menjadi azimat kepada perjuangan kami.
Dewan Pemuda PAS Titiwangsa, telah bersedia menyahut amanat beliau agar terus mempertahankan Parlimen Titiwangsa dalam Pilihanraya Umum Ke-13 yang akan datang dengan segenap tenaga dan kekuatan Pemuda.
Pemuda juga berjanji akan terus memikul amanah rakyat yang telah ditinggalkan oleh beliau kepada kami, bersama-sama dengan PAS kawasan dan Pusat Khidmat Wakil Rakyat Titiwangsa.
Bagi mereka yang ingin membuat sumbangan kewangan bagi meneruskan kerja-kerja kebajikan yang telah ditinggalkan beliau di Titiwangsa, dan untuk mempertahankan kerusi Parlimen Titiwangsa kepada PAS, bolehlah berbuat demikian dengan memasukkan wang ke akaun Dewan Pemuda PAS Titiwangsa BIMB 14041010075204. Semoga setiap sumbangan akan diganjari dengan kebaikan berlipat kali ganda daripada Allah SWT.

No benefit in keeping Pempena afloat
In September last year, four directors of Pembangunan Perlancongan Nasional Sdn Bhd (Pempena) Datuk Yip Kum Fook (MCA GOMBAK, who is BAD name in Buddhist and he always went to Chinese to find girls) Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai, Syed Abdul Rahman and Jaigani Jaafar – were served with letters of demand for payment of more than RM12.4 million owed by the company.
The letters from lawyer Joginder Singh, who was acting for Kah Bintang Auto Sdn Bhd were sent by registered post. On receiving the letter, one of them, Lim, the former deputy toursim minister and current deputy finance minister, contacted the CEO of Pempena and asked him to act on the demand.
For a good eight months, nothing happened. No effort was made to contact the motor company or negotiate a settlement. Failing to get a response, Kah Bintang published notice of an intended winding up petition in two national newspapers on May 28. The petition was set to be heard on June 13.
At the hearing, the petition was undefended as neither Pempena nor its lawyers made an appearance. The court allowed the petition and asked that Pempena be given another 14 days to pay up. On June 27, that short lease of life for the company expired and Pempena ceased to exist.
Yesterday, akin to closing the stable door after the horses have bolted, Malaysian Tourism Board chairman Datuk Victor Wee announced that Pempena would be applying for a stay of the winding up order this week.
The decision, he said, was made after a meeting with the management of Pempena last Friday. A new solicitor will be appointed to apply for a stay and work out an amicable settlement.
He was responding to theSun’s front page report which said the High Court had ordered the company to be wound up after failing to pay RM12.4 million for the purchase of 120 units of Hyundai Sonata.
When asked if these actions and the subsequent embarrassment to the government could have been avoided if Pempena had complied or responded to letters from Kah Bintang and its lawyer, Wee declined to comment, saying: “This is something that only Pempena can answer.”
So, the questions are: “Why did the Pempena CEO ignore the letters, and the call from Lim who was then a director of the company? Was it incompetency or sheer arrogance or total defiance of a lawful directive? Why did Pempena not act after the notice was published?
More importantly, where is Pempena going to find RM13 million (including interests and costs) to pay the motor company? Why should it come from the tourism promotion budget when all fingers point to the directors, who by virtue of their positions should be held responsible for this fiasco?
There’s no benefit in keeping Pempena afloat as it has not contributed in anyway to enhance tourism and related products. In short, it has been bleeding financially and has become a burden to Tourism Malaysia.
The best option is to dispose the assets, settle the debts and close shop so that it does not lose more money. Throwing good money after bad does not make good business sense.
