梁自坚颜贝倪在万挠百货分发100令吉购物券
(万挠29日讯)日前士拉央国会议员梁自坚及万挠区州议员颜贝倪在万挠的百货公司分发有雪州民联政府所提供的100令吉购物券, 并吸引了大批的乐龄人士前来领取购物券及询问有关详情。
梁 自坚在现场时表示,由于政府无法良好管制经济下,导致人民生活在高通膨的时代,而雪州民联政府派发购物卷的举动犹如雪中送炭予民,反之联邦政府非但在这时 候没有帮助人民,反而落井下石将在大选后实行服务消费税(GST),所以希望人民都能在两线制上看见其分别,并在来届大选时投下精明的一票。
他也表示,士拉央国会内将会有近1万民的乐龄人士在这个政策中受惠,截至现在已经有1千位的士拉央乐龄人士获得此购物券。
颜贝倪在派发购物券时表示,虽然在这个生活水平高昂的时代100令吉并不多,但这100令吉足以让人民获得一些生活基本的必须品,这也是雪州政府扶持贫穷人士的政策之一,并相信雪州民联政府也会在接下来推出更多惠民政策,协助人民摆脱通膨的压力。
他在最后补充说,他本身的助理平时接获许多询问有关购物券的电话,他希望已经登记“乐龄基金”的人士能够耐心的等待,因该服务中心每个礼拜都会派出200份的购物券,以便能迅速的让人民享有购物券。
借此他也希望,还没登记“乐龄基金”,并且已满60岁的雪兰莪州居民能够到万挠州议员服务中心或士拉央国会议员服务中心登记,以确保本身在“雪州经济人民化”的政策下受惠。

PKR to SC: Probe Melewar Leisure, MBF Trustees
PETALING JAYA: Selayang MP William Leong wants the Securities
Commission (SC) to investigate Melewar Leisure Sdn Bhd and MBF Trustees
Bhd over allegations that the two companies cheated Melewar’s bond
holders.
“The SC must investigate why there was no action from both companies for 12 years. It has to protect the interest of the bond holders,” Leong said after meeting 20 bond holders.
On Oct 12, 1994, Melewar issued bonds worth RM64,165,000 which expired on July 29, 1999. The bonds were secured with the Central Market building in Kuala Lumpur.
According to Leong, Melewar did not pay bond holders when the bonds matured.
On June 13 this year, bond holders were told in a letter that the value of their bonds was low and Melewar had found a new buyer, Riverfront Wealth Capital Bhd, that offered to buy the bonds at RM0.24 per unit.
This was followed by another letter on June 24 from Melewar stating that 75% of the bond holders have agreed to Riverfront’s offer.
“Some of the bond holders are actually upset since they will only get a 25% in return on their original investment. Why didn’t the trustee take action for the past 13 years?” asked Leong.
The PKR treasurer also questioned the logic in claiming that the bonds’ value was low when the company used Central Market to secure the bonds.
“Central Market is in the centre of the town,” said Leong.
The PKR leader said this case tarnished Malaysia’s wish to be a centre for initial public offering as seen in the Felda Global Ventures Holding share offering.
He also said that he is arranging a meeting to decide on the next course of action for all the affected bond holders on Sept 30 at the Selayang Utama Hall at 2pm. The hall is located opposite Selayang Mall.
Representatives from MBF Trustees and Melewar are also invited.
Contacted later, MBF Trustees’ representative declined to divulge any information.
Meanwhile, Melewar Trustees’ director Nick Lough acknowledged that MBF trustees was the sole bond holder.
“I have no idea about other bond holders,” he said, decling to comment further.
