Shameless Syed Zaid Albar had resigned and bowed out as chairman of SC in disgrace. Thanks God that today is his last day as chairman of SC.
AirAsia Ordered 400 Aircraft From Airbus
In July 2016 it was an international news in the airlines industry that AirAsia had placed a slew of order for airbuses to the tune of a few hundred from Airbus SE. To be precise, AirAsia ordered an additional 100 Airbus from its existing orders of 300! The then CEO of Airbus, John Leahy, and Tony Fernandes of AirAsia were ebullient on the said orders, HERE. Of course, Tony Ferenandes was then the star of the big airshow in Farnborough and other parts of the world. With such big orders, Tony was the super hero and admired by many in the airline industries throughout the world.
Airbus representatives and Kamaruddin Meranun of AirAsia were on a publicity blitz over the said orders and even had a well publicised signing ceremony held in Kuala Lumpur. At the material time, Tony Fernandes and Kamaruddin Meranun, the supremos of PN17 AirAsia, were the stars which no others airline executives in the world could emulate.
At that material time, little did the world know that the slew of orders for aircraft by AirAsia was a quid pro quo whereby AirAsia’s two criminals known as executives 1 and 2 had been paid been paid more than RM200 million in bribes by Airbus. Please read the UK Crown Court Judgement in “NowEveryone Can Defraud AirAsia Shareholders”.
It is unclear that out of the 400 Airbus ordered, how many have been delivered and how many remained outstanding.
Airbus Had Admitted In The UK Crown Court To Have Paid More Than RM200 Million To Two Criminals Executives 1 & 2 of PN17 AirAsia For Aircraft Orders
In late January 2020 the UK Crown Court had adjudged that two criminals known as executives 1 and 2 of PN 17 AirAsia had received bribes of more than RM200 million from Airbus in exchange of aircraft orders. Airbus had admitted in the UK Court of having paid the said bribes to the said two criminals in PN AirAsia. Airbus was penalised with a fine of £3 billion, HERE.
This Airbus Bribery Scandals were widely publicised internationally and in Malaysia.
If the RM200 million were to be refunded as a discount to AirAsia, the said RM200 million could have been utilised by AirAsia to pay out as dividends to its shareholders. Instead the said two criminal pocketed the RM200 mil as bribes.
The two criminals executives 1 and 2 of PN17 AirAsia had acted against the interest of AirAsia and ultimately its shareholders, which was a matter of great concern to both authorities Bursa Malaysia and SC.
Bursa Malaysia Launched An Investigation Into The Airbus Bribery Scandals But Was Immediately Stopped By SC Under The Watch Of Shameless Syed Zaid Albar
In early February 2020, Bursa Malaysia was the first to announce that it had commenced investigation into the said Airbus bribery scandals and followed by MACC, HERE.
The Security Commission (SC) under the watch of that shameless Syed Zaid Albar, the chairman of Security Commission, had followed suit. However, SC had the audacity to instruct Bursa Malaysia to stop its investigations. At that material time, it appeared to be in order as SC has more powers under the law to investigate and prosecute the said two criminals. Little did we know that it was not what we thought it should be. It was just a scheme to stop Bursa from proceeding with its investigation into the said Airbus bribery scandals.
After More Than 2 Years Shameless Syed Zaid Albar Had Continiued To Play Dumb On The Investigation Of Airbus Bribery Scandals
More than two years have elapsed, there was no sign of SC investigating the said RM200 million Airbus bribery scandals. Despite many calls for this shameless Syed Zaid Albar and/or SC to announce the results of the said investigation, that shameless fella chose to play dumb, a curious habit for a person holding high office. Human decay in this shameless Syed Zaid Albar is extremely noticeable. It is a case of “Harap Pagar, Pagar Makan Padi”!
Out of the blue on 28 April 2022 this shameless Syed Zaid Albar tendered his resignation two and half years prematurely and to take effect today (31 May 2022), HERE.
What a great relief for those upright officers in SC and Malaysia! It is good riddance to bad rubbish!
Datuk Wang Adek Hussin Will Take Over As The New Executive Chairman of SC On 1 June 2022

Left: Datuk Awang Adek Hussin, ex-Senator & Minister of Finance II, Tony Fernandes one of the supremo of PN17 AirAsia.
Datuk Awang Adek Hussin, the former Senator and Minister of Finance II, had been appointed by another Senator Tengku Zafrul, the Finance Minister, who was the former CEO of CIMB and Tune Money Sdn Bhd, which is an outfit of PN17 AirAsia, HERE.
Datuk Awang Adek will take office on 1 June 2022. Lets hope that Datuk Awang Adek has the guts to clean up SC by getting rid of the dead woods or the shameless Syed Zaid Albar’s “kuncu” / cronies for covering up the internationally known Airbus Bribery Scandals which involved the two criminals known as executives 1 and 2 of PN17 AirAsia who had been paid more than RM200 million bribes by Airbus.
Mapping of outflow of funds from the special purpose vehicle bank account “Utusan – Epiweb Collection Account” to Redberry Sdn Bhd & Nylex Bhd.
Updates on 21-8-2019 @ 3:30 pm:SHOCKER! It’s now confirmed! Ancom Bhd, being the sole shareholder of Redberry Sdn Bhd, and Nylex Bhd did not make any announcement to Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur (BSKL) of their involvement in the PADU/MOE’s RM340 million tablet project and/or the purpose for the receipt of about RM50 million by Ancom Bhd through Redberry Sdn Bhd and RM20.6 million by Nylex Bhd from the special purpose vehicle bank account, Utusan-Epiweb Collection Account.
BSKL is duty bound to investigate into this serious matter in order to protect the interests of the investing public and to ensure an orderly capital market in Malaysia.
Perhaps our Securities Commission should also be looking into this serious matter.
The imminent closure of Utusan Malaysia and Kosmo newspapers by Utusan Melayu (M) Berhad further complicates the systemic manoeuvring in the shady mega computer tablet project for teachers nationwide.
The situation currently is as follows:
Utusan Melayu (M) Berhad is broke and cannot continue with the project that includes pre-installed Utusan e-paper.
PADU Corporation, a company set up by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to manage the RM340 million project to supply free 430,000 tablets to digitalise teaching in schools, is in a big fix.
The ONLY winners in the rip-off failed tablet deal are companies which are not parties to the agreements between PADU – Utusan or Utusan – Epiweb for the failed project.
It would appear from the above mapping table of outflow of funds that Redberry Sdn Bhd (Redberry) and public-listed chemical company Nylex Berhad (Nylex) were paid a whopping RM70.6 millionfrom the very special purpose vehicle bank account, “Utusan-Epiweb Collection Account”. It was set up to receive and disburse payments from PADU for the failed tablet project. The said payment of RM70.6 million represents 26.34%of the total payment of about RM268 million of MCMC Funds that PADU had paid into the said very special purpose vehicle bank account.
RM20.6 million was paid from the said special purpose vehicle account to Nylex Bhd, a company dealing with chemical products. What was this payment all about?
Any Annoucement Made To Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur?
Since Nylex Bhd is a public listed company, did it inform or make any announcement in Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur (BSKL) about this significant transaction. The investing public should be kept informed of these significant transactions.
Both companies (Redberry & Nylex Bhd), controlled by the disgraced ex-Tourism chairman, Dato Siew Ka Wei were non-existent in the contracts between PADU-Utusan and between Utusan and the supply, delivery and maintenance agent, Epiweb Sdn Bhd.
The Corporate Genius, Dato’ Siew Ka Wei
The arrest and detention of Dato’ Dr Siew Ka Wei, chairman of Ancom Bhd & Group MD of Nykex Bhd, and Elizabeth Ken, the CEO of Geeko Tech Sdn Bhd and media specialist of Redberry Media group, which is an outfit of Siew Ka Wei.
On 9 January 2019, Dato’ Siew Ka Wei and his media specialist Ms Elizabeth Ken of Redberry Media Group were arrested and detained by MACC for four days, HERE, in connection with the Speedy Gonzales Geeko RM99.693 million with Tourism Malaysia,HERE.
Seven months have elapsed and there are no charges preferred by MACC. Why?
The Redberry Sdn Bhd
Redberry Sdn Bhd’s list of directors
Redberry’s list of shareholders – the sole shareholder, Ancom Bhd
Dato’ Siew Ka Wei is the director and manager of Redberry Sdn Bhd. Ancom Bhd is the sole shareholder of 4 million shares. Similarly, did Ancom Bhd inform or make an announcement in Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur (BSKL) about this material transaction where Redberry, a subsidiary of Ancom Bhd, had received RM50 million from the said special purpose vehicle bank account.
Dato’ Siew Ka Wei is the executive chairman of the public listed company Ancom Bhd and group MD of another public listed company Nylex Bhd, which had also received RM20.6 million from the same account.
Malay Mail
Coincidentally, it was under Siew Ka Wei’s control that Malay Mail, then oldest newspaper in the country, was shut down 31 November 2018 even though at that material time Redberry and Nylex were getting a total of RM70.6 million from the said special purpose vehicle bank account. Until this day, many of the Malay Mail’s ex employees are still without a job.
Datuk Wong Sai Wan, The Best Editor In Asia!!
The famous Malay Mail editor in chief, Datuk Wong Sai Wan pressing the button on 30-11-2018 to bury Malay Mail for good.
The Tweet from the BEST editor in Asia, Datuk Wong Sai Wan.
The famous Datuk Wong Sai Wan, editor in chief of Malay Mail, in his tweet was trying to exhibit his “COMPASSION” for the Utusan staff. Why the same compassion not shown to the Malay Mail staff when Malay Mail was shut down in 2018? Why was a small fraction of the RM50 million received from the said special purpose vehicle bank account not used to alleviate the hardship of the Malay Mail staff, who have slogged so hard for Malay Mail/Dato’ Siew Ka Wei? As a reminder to Datuk Wong, charity begins at home!
Datuk Wong is the BESTeditor in Asia, he is also a good businessman and director of Dato’ Siew Ka Wei’s outfit, Titanium Compass Sdn Bhd, which became part of the settlement agreement between Utusan and Redberry. Isn’t it strange?
The Ramifications Of Shutting Down Utusan
This latest development involving Utusan will have severe ramifications for PADU over the RM309,879,325.00 it received from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for the scheme.
PADU had imposed about RM50 million in penalties against Utusan for breach of contracts that included non-delivery of tablets, late delivery and off specifications. Despite the breach of contract by Utusan in Phase 1 and 2, PADU under the leadership of Puan Khadijah Abdullah (former CEO of PADU & now with Bank Negara) and En Ahmad Izzat (CFO), Puan Khadijah carried on to sign contract after contract to facilitate payments to the so-called “vendors”.
Sources in MOE said that PADU/MOE has yet to enforce the penalties imposed. They are just playing “masak-masak” like kids!
Khadijah’s “Financial Literacy”
Now that Utusan is closing shop, it is almost impossible for PADU to recover the RM50 million unless Utusan has enough assets to cover it. PADU has to recover another RM18,402,690.25 which PADU paid out under Phase 6 against the decision of JK Pemandu on 17 April 2018, HERE. That was the “FINANCIAL LITERACY”/ZERO GOVERNANCE of Puan Khadijah Abdullah, the former CEO of PADU. She has been head hunted by Bank Negara to head a department that deal with “Financial Literacy”. May God bless Bank Negara!
For this payment under Phase 6, Redberry was paid RM10,402,690.25 from the special purpose vehicle bank account. God knows for what purpose??
Puan Khadijah Abdullah and EnAhmad Izzat Ahmad Zaki, CFO of PADU, should be held personally liable by surcharging them under the General Order for paying out the RM18,402,690.50 in total defiance of the JK Pemandu said decision.
The Suit Between Redberry & Utusan
Redberry Sdn Bhd, meanwhile, is on a roll. It obtained summary judgment of RM8.5 million against Utusan on 11 February 2019, claiming failure to refund the amount for “advertising, branding and communication exercise”, HERE.
The “Settlement Agreement” Between Utusan & Redberry
The signing page of the “Settlement Agreement” between Utusan & Redberry. It was signed by Dato’ Siew Ka Wei for Redberry Sdn Bhd.
Strangely on 8 April 2019, Utusan and Redberry entered into a “Settlement Agreement”.
The tablets purchased by PADU and the off specifications of the said tablets were issues recited in the said “settlement agreement”.
Ironically, while the suit was about refund of “advertising, branding and communication exercise”, the said tablets and the off specifications became issues in the ”settlement agreement”!
Utusan is to settle the judgment sum of RM8.5 million under the following conditions:
A full and final settlement of the amount owed to Redberry by Utusan for computer tablets purchased by Redberry for a sum of RM482,194.44 shall be set off against the Judgment sum.
Utusan shall procure Utusan Airtime Sdn Bhd(UASB), a wholly owned subsidiary of Utusan, to transfer its 20% shares in Titanium Compass Sdn Bhd(Titanium) valued at RM6 million to set off against the judgment sum. Pending the approval of the relevant authorities for transfer, Utusan shall procure UASB to hold in trust for Redberry. (Note: Titanium was awarded with 10 years exclusive advertising space contract in MRT Stations, HERE)
As full and final settlement of any claim that Utusan may have against Epiweb Sdn Bhd (Epiweb) arising out of or in connection with the Supply, Delivery and Maintenance Agreement pertaining the computer tablets between Epiweb and Utusan, dated 3 December 2015, Redberry has agreed as follows:
To bear the agreed portion of the loss suffered by Utusan arising from short payment by PADU of RM2,017,805.56 by setting off that amount against the judgement sum.
Utusan and Redberry agree that for any potential claim or legal action that PADU may take against Utusan in connection with the tablets supplied by Lenovo Technology Sdn Bhd which the processor speed of such tablet is below the specifications required by PADU and for which Lenovo is aware of PADU’s specifications:
Redberry shall procure Epiweb to cooperate and assist Utusan in their discussion and negotiation with PADU.
Redberry, Epiweb and Utusan shall jointly pursue against Lenovo an order to make Lenovo liable for any damages PADU may claim against Utusan.
All agreed legal costs incurred in defending the claim by PADU and the claim against Lenovo shall be shared jointly between Redberry and Utusan.
In the event that the court decides that Lenovo is not liable for any damages arising from PADU’s claim against Utusan, Redberry shall procure Epiweb to assist Utusan to source competitively priced tablets for the remaining gadgets under the Supply Agreement.
Redberry shall receive from Ancom Bhd a letter of confirmation addressed to Utusan that there is no outstanding amount owing between Utusan and Ancom Bhd.
On 9 April 2019 it was also reported that Nylex had entered into an agreement with Utusan Melayu Bhd to settle their legal dispute over refund of “deposit” totalling RM10 million where Utusan had agreed to transfer a property worth RM6.7 million to Redberry, HERE. It is unknown whether this was part of the settlement between Utusan and Redberry.
Dato’ Siew Ka Wei signed the said settlement agreement on behalf of Redberry.
Many questions arose from the above “Settlement Agreement”? The obvious questions are:
Why did the tablet’s off specifications involving PADU and its supplier Utusan become part of the settlement?
Whywas Redberry was so concerned about the potential suit from PADU against Utusan when it was not a party to it?
On 13 June 2016 Siew also represented Utusan in the “Pre Price Negotiation” for the tablets with PADU, HERE.
One would have thought that Dato’ Siew Ka Wei and Utusan were very friendly parties. From the said lawsuit and the said settlement agreement it would now appear that there was a “SPECIAL” relationship between Dato’ Siew Ka Wei/Redberry and Utusan.
It was also strange that all payments from PADU were paid into the special purpose vehicle account known as “Utusan-Epiweb Collection Account” when PADU only entered into agreements with Utusan.
Why Was RM70.6 mil Paid To Redberry and Nylex Bhd?
On 30 April 2018 RM10,402,690.25was paid out from the special purpose vehicle bank account under Phase 6 to Redberry. but there were several other payments to Redberry and Nylex Bhd totalling RM70 mil.
It must be noted that both Redberry and Nylex Bhd were not parties to the agreements between PADU – Utusan and Utusan – Epiweb.
PADU/MOE STOP PLAYING DUMB ON ABUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS
When the news of the MCMC Funds had been abused broke out, on 16 July 2019YB Gobind Singh, the Minister of Communication and Multimedia, had assured the public that a report will be lodged with SPRM/MACC with regards to the abused of MCMC Funds, HERE. More than a month has elapsed and no such report was made by his ministry. Why? Is the Ministry trying to cover up for MCMC officers, who have disbursed the MCMC Funds to PADU wantonly with no control?
A culture of impunity has long reigned in this scandalous episode and PADU and MOE must come clean to clarify the RM70.6 mil paid out from the said special purpose vehicle bank account, “Utusan-Epiweb Collection Account” to Redberry and Nylex Bhd. The deafening silence is no longer an option for the Minister of Education, YB Datuk Dr Mazlee Malik!
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been rocked with allegations of millions of ringgit being spirited from the “cash cow” but the outcome of the probes has not been made public.
The investigations by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) into RM25 million missing from FINAS began more than a year ago.
Now, another case similar to the dubious “Speedy Gonzales-Geeko” deal has surfaced.
2nd left: Dato’ Dr Siew Ka Wei & 4th left: Elizabeth Ken
The “Speedy Gonzales-Geeko” case (worth RM99.693 million) with Tourism Malaysia (TM) saw the MACC arrest and detention of Dato’ Dr Siew Ka Wei (Siew) and Ms Elizabeth Ken Tzu Ying (Elizabeth Ken) in early January 2019.
Siew was the former chairman of TM. He is also the current executive chairman of the public listed company called Ancom Bhd. Ancom Bhd has many subsidiaries, one of which is Redberry Media Group (Redberry). The defunct Malay Mail is part of Redberry. Ms Elizabeth Ken is the media specialist of Redberry. Datuk Wong Sai Wan (Wong) is the Editor-in-Chief of Malay Mail. Wong is also a director in several of Siew’s outfits.
Details of the latest scandal will be soon exposed in Part II of this MCMC saga.
Let’s recap. More than a year has elapsed, there is no news of the outcome of the audit by the National Audit Department on the MCMC Fund and the USP Fund (Universal Service Provision Fund), which were set up under the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Act, 1988,
The balance of these two Funds as at 31 December 2016 were as follows:
MCMC Fund RM800 million; and
USP Fund RM8.5 billion.
The press statement dated 22-6-2018 of YB Gobind Singh Deo, the Minister of Communication and Multimedia
On 20 June 2018, YB Gobind Singh Deo had announced that both MCMC Fund and USP Fund will be audited by the National Audit Department, HERE.
On 3 July 2018, MACC confirmed it was probing into the embezzlement of RM25 million involving1Malaysia Negaraku projects, which failed to be implemented.
A senior officer of the National Film Development Corporation (FINAS) with a “Datuk” title is believed to be involved in the embezzlement, HERE.
It would appear that there was no outcome of this MACC probe.
Perhaps the newly-minted DG of MACC, Puan Latheefa Koya, should look into these matters and other scandals involving the MCMC Fund.
The RM25 million scandal was just the tip of the iceberg!
Prior to GE 14, the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia had encouraged or allowed the MCMC Fund to be abused to the maximum by a government agency with zero governance!
It must be noted that section 39 of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission Act, 1988, provides that the MCMC Fund shall be expanded for the purposes of lawful expenditure incurred by MCMC like paying for the remuneration, allowances and expenses of of members of MCMC, procurement of good and services by MCMC, purchasing or hiring equipment, machinery, acquiring of land and any asset, repayment of moneys borrowed under section 43 of the Act, granting loans to its employees and etc.
A big chunk of the MCMC Fund had been utilised for purposes that have not been stipulated under section 39 of the Act.
It must be noted that section 39 of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission Act, 1988, provides that the MCMC Fund shall be expanded for the purposes of lawful expenditure incurred by MCMC like paying for the remuneration, allowances and expenses of of members of MCMC, procurement of good and services by MCMC, purchasing or hiring equipment, machinery, acquiring of land and any asset, repayment of moneys borrowed under section 43 of the Act, granting loans to its employees and etc.
In the spirit of transparency and accountability, the National Audit Department and/or the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia to make public the findings of the audit of these two funds (MCMC Fund & USP Fund).
After a lull in the wrong doings in Tourism Malaysia (TM), another bombshell is in the works.
The “Abang – Adik” Shows. . Left: YB Menteri Datuk Mohammadin Bin Hj Ketapi Right: Datuk Musa Yusuf, the DG of TM
The newly minted DG, Datuk Musa Yusuf, who was in the centre of the Speedy Gonzales scandal, is again implicated in another controversy related to the politics within MOTAC/TM.
When Datuk MusaYusuf was first appointed the DG of TM, his appointment could not be confirmed by the TM’s Board because at that material time he was didn’t have a letter of clearance from MACC. Quite rightly so! Yours truly has been informed that within a short span of two weeks or so after his non-confirmation, Datuk Musa managed to obtain a letter of good character or clearance from MACC! We can only hope that Puan Latheefa Koya, the new DG of MACC, will investigate how could Datuk Musa be given a clean bill of health when he was at least appeared to have been involved in the scandalous “Speedy Gonzales” RM99.693 million Geeko Deal.
Please read the next paragraph to learn about Datuk Musa’s involvement in the said scandalous deal.
For the benefits of new readers, in November 2017 Geeko Tech Sdn Bhd (Geeko) was incorporated with Koperasi Kakitanggan MOTAC (KOPEMA) as one of its shareholders. Datuk Musa Yusuf is the President of KOPEMA!
On 19 January 2018 Datuk Musa Yusuf had cleverly devised a scheme known as “Promosi Bersama Tencent/Geeko Tech Bagi Promosi Pemasaran Digital (Smart Tourism)” (“Promosi Bersama”), which was actually to appoint Geeko to do a so-called “study” to appoint Geeko for the so-called ‘Digital Marketing’. Datuk Musa’s clever scheme or the so-called “Promosi Bersama” cost TM a whopping RM1,167,900.00. Please read “Is Tourism Malaysian is Everyone ATM?“. Please also read: “Suspend Tourism Malaysia DG or Live In Shame!”.
The Players in the Scandalous Speedy Gonzales Deal

You will note that on 9 January 2019 the corporate genius and the former Chairman of Tourism Malaysia, Dato’ Dr Siew Ka Wei, and Ms Elizabeth Ken, the media specialist of Redberry Media Group, were arrested and detained by MACC for four days in connection with the scandalous Speedy Gonzales Geeko. Six months have elapsed and there is no sign of both of them being charged. Despite Datuk Musa, was in the centre of the scandalous Speedy Gonzales deal, he has been awarded with a clean bill of health by MACC!
Picture of Dato’ Dr Siew Ka Wei when he was released from the custody of MACC. He was the chairman of TM.
Dato’ Dr Siew is the current Chairman of Ancom Bhd.
Despite the arrest and detention of Dato’ Siew and Ms Elizabeth Ken, the scandalous “Speedy Gonzales” RM99.693 millions has yet to be terminated. Why?
Puan Latheefa Koya should also investigate into this scandal!
Just now yours truly has received this comment from a reader:
… there is an anonymous letter circulating among the Civil Service claiming some interference involving the Motac M … members towards procurements in the Ministry. The letter also stated a pact between a group of officer aka Little Napoleons to out the current KSU incited by the … to an extent to try and put in place the ex-KSU who retired back into service. As the letter was dated 15 Jun 2019 and a visit by the Minister to KSN does suggests a certain degree of truth in the letter. …”
We can only hope that the above comment was not true. Yg Bhg Datuk KSN please take note of the above. We also hope that Datuk KSN will not confirm Datuk Musa Yusuf as the DG of TM.
Datuk Musa Bin Yusof, the newly appointed DG of Tourism Malaysia and the proposer of the infamous “Promosi Bersama”, please read below.
The Tourism Malaysia (TM) Board of Directors has foiled an attempt by the ‘Little Napoleons’ in TM to use an old letter of clearance or good character by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to support the promotion of Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf as Director General (DG) of TM.

KSU Of MOTAC & KSN To Take Actions
Just to digress a little, Ahmad Johanif is free to support whichever party he wants but as a civil servant he must be neutral. As a civil servant, he is governed by the General Orders, HERE. The KSU of MOTAC and KSN should look into the conduct of Ahmad Johanif during the 14 GE and the only few postings in his Facebook reproduced above. There are more negative postings of PH government and YAB Tun Dr Mahathir!
TM’s Board Meeting of 25 March 2019
On 25 March 2019, the Board of Directors was presented with the papers to recommend or support the promotion of Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf to the rank of Jusa B as a prelude to confirm him as the Director General of TM. The HR headed by Rafidah and Ahmad Johanif included amongst other documents there was a one year old letter of clearance or good character of Datuk Musa Yusuf from MACC to support his promotion.
Both of them knew or ought to have known that the standard procedure for proposing an officer for high ranking promotion in TM must be supported by current letter of clearance or good character from MACC. Yet these two Little Napoleons saw it fit to knowingly overlook this elementary procedure for special reason best known to two of them.
By the way the ‘Little Napoleons’ Raffish was recently promoted as Director of HR and Ahmad Johanif was recently transferred to be her deputy after the “Speedy Gonzales” elevation of Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf as the DG of TM, HERE.

If these two ‘Little Napoleons’ were to carry out their duties diligently, they would have known that TM is currently burdened with the scandalous “Speedy Gonzales” RM99.673 million Geeko Tech Sdn Bhd’s (GEEKO) deal, HERE. They knew in mid January 2019 from the massive publicities generated by the arrest and remand of Dato’ Dr Siew Ka Wei, who at the material time when the said scandalous deal was struck on 4 April 2018 was the chairman of TM, and Ms Elizabeth Ken Tzu Ying by MACC for four days, HERE.
Dato’ Dr Siew Ka Wei & Ms Elizabeth Ken Tzu Ying
Dato’ Dr Siew Ka Wei is the former chairman of TM and current executive chairman of Ancom Bhd, MD of Nylex Bhd and MD of Redberry Media Group (Redberry). Dato’ Dr Siew Ka Wei is also the directors of many outfits namely, Meru Utama Sdn Bhd (awarded with 10 years exclusive advertising space contract in KLIA), Titanium Compass Sdn Bhd (awarded with exclusively 10 years advertising space contract in MRT stations) and others. The defunct Malay Mail is part of Redberry. Ms Elizabeth Ken Tzu Ying is the media specialist of Redberry. Ms Elizabeth Ken is the share holder and CEO of GEEKO
Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf, the newly appointed DG of TM for two years
These two ‘Little Napoleons” Rafidah and Ahmad Johanif were apparently suffering from very severe wilful blindness when the proposal papers were prepared to support the promotion of Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf for the Board of Directors of TM for approval. They knowingly omitted to present the glaring facts below with the predominant purpose to deceive or at best mislead the Board of Directors of TM into approving the promotion of Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf.
These two ‘Little Napoleons” should be suspended and face disciplinary actions for serious misconducts for knowingly presented the outdated MACC letter of clearance for Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf.
The Glaring Facts
When Geeko Tech Sdn Bhd (GEEKO) was incorporated on 6 November 2017 and Koperasi Kakitanggan Kementerian Pelancongan Kebudayaan Malaysia Bhd (also known as KOPEMA) was one of its shareholder holding 10,000 shares, HERE;
Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf is thePresident of KOPEMA;
The Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf‘s infamous “Promos Bersama” of 19 January 2018;
“Minit Kelulusan” from Datuk Musa for his “Proposal Bersama” To Be Approved by Datuk Mirza, the then DG.
Page 4 of “Minit Kelulusan” signed by Datuk Musa Bin Yusof, now the DG of TM.
On 19 January 2018Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf, the then Director of International Promotion (Africa/China) submitted a proposal known as “Promosi Bersama Dengan Tourism Malaysia Dan Tencent/Geeko Bagi Promosi Pemasaran Digital (Smart Tourism)” (“Promosi Bersama”) cost TM a whooping RM1,167,900.00, to the then DG of TM, Datuk Seri Mirza Bin Mohamed Taiyab (Datuk Seri Mirza). Please read HERE & HERE
The said Infamous “Promos Bersama”, of course, approved in lighting speed by the then DG of TM, Datuk Seri Mirza.
TM paid Geeko RM1,167,900.00 in lightning speed for the so-called “Promosi Bersama”, which Datuk Musa’s Bin Yusuf told the press that he was not aware of and he had instructed his officers to look into the matter, HERE& HERE;
Until now there no news of Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf’s investigation into his Infamous “Promosi Bersama” that cost TM RM1,167,900.00;
Prior to the so-called “Promosi Bersama” of Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf, TM was already trying to appoint Deloitte Singapore and/or Deloitte Malaysia to conduct a ‘kajian” on the similar subject of digital marketing. However, the appointment did not materialise.
The infamous “Promosi Bersama” was not a joint promotion but in reality it was a scheme devised to appoint GEEKO to prepare a so-called “kajian” to pave the way for TM to enter into the scandalous “Speedy Gonzales” RM99.693 million contract with GEEKO, which deal was evaluated, negotiated and agreement was prepared and executed in one day on 4 April 2018.
Luckily the Board of Director spotted the glaring flaw in the supporting documents to promote Datuk Musa Yusuf i.e. the outdated letter of clearance or good character of him from MACC. However, the Board approved the proposal in principle subject to the submission of a current dated letter of clearance or good character from MACC for Datuk Musa Yusuf and to be approved by KSN.
MACC should go deeper into the scandalous “Speedy Gonzales” GEEKO RM99.693 million deal by digging into the KOPEMA shareholding in GEEKO and said infamous “Promosi Bersama” by Datuk Musa Bin Yusuf.
