Rakaman CCTV kejadian menara bangunan UMNO runtuh...

Pemilik Menara Umno sedia ke mahkamah...

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif JKP Sdn Bhd, pemunya Menara Umno, berkata syarikat itu rela diheret ke mahkamah jika didapati cuai kerana gagal menyerahkan audit berkala bangunan kepada pihak berkuasa tempatan.

Adzmi Ariffin berkata, syarikat itu juga menjalankan siasatan dalaman terhadap dakwaan gagal menyerahkan laporan itu kepada Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang (MPPP) pada 2008.

"Kita wujudkan inkuiri sendiri untuk lihat jika terdapat kecuaian di pihak kakitangan kami kerana gagal menyerahkan audit berkala kepada MPPP.

"Jika MPPP dapati kami lakukan kesilapan, justeru kita tiada pilihan selain menghormati undang-undang dan dibawa ke mahkamah," katanya.

Adzmi berkata, syarikat itu membeli bangunan itu pada 2005 tetapi tidak sedar bahawa ia mesti menghantar laporan audit kepada pihak berkuasa tempatan selepas bangunan itu mencapai umur 10 tahun.

Beliau memberitahu sidang akhbar, laporan siasatan berhubung runtuhan penebat kilat itu akan dihantar kepada kerajaan negeri pada minggu depan.-malaysiakini

I’m a naturalised citizen, says Sabah assemblywoman Christina Liew...

Api-Api state assemblywoman Christina Liew(left) has categorically rubbished the allegation by a witness in the ongoing Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI), that she is an Indonesian of Chinese descent who had obtained Malaysian citizenship, according to a report distributed by the Borneo Insider.

“My parents were British subjects (who) migrated to North Borneo in 1952, with British documents from Hong Kong.  I was one month old then. I obtained my blue IC when Sabah/Malaysia achieved her independence in 1963. I’m a naturalised citizen.

“All my six brothers and sisters were born in Tawau. We grew up in North Borneo before independence. I have never been to Indonesia until I was in my adulthood.

“What nonsense is this man talking about?” she told the Borneo Insider.

She said this in a rebuttal to the claim of Sabah Sukuk Ethnic Clan Association secretary Mohd Zaki Hari Susanto, while giving his testimony at the RCI hearing today.

Liew, who is also PKR Api-Api division chief, reiterated that her father’s British documents issued by the Hong Kong British government then were good enough to prove that she was not born in Indonesia.

“He (her father) has never been to Indonesia at all,” she added.

While affirming that she has all the relevant documents to substantiate her claims, Christina nonetheless said she would not be bothered with Zaki’s allegation.

“Why should I bother with such nonsense? Why should I entertain his hearsay? His issue is I was born in Indonesia, so I only need to prove him wrong. I was born in Hong Kong,” she said.

Liew also said she will call for a press conference at the DUN on Thursday to deal further with the allegation.-malaysian insider
