Wang Minyak Terengganu dihumban ke laut?

Harakah edisi terbaru, menyiarkan berita beserta gambar seorang ibu beserta anak-anak kecil dari keluarga miskin di Terengganu berbuka puasa hanya dengan bernasikan kicap dan garam.
Keluarga Wan Ramlah bersama tujuh anak sudah biasa berbuat demikian kerana kemiskinan keluarga mereka. Wan Ramlah bekerja sebagai tukang sapu di negeri berslogankan 'BN menang rakyat senang'.
Lebih memilukan, bila kita membaca beratus juta wang rakyat Terengganu dari hasil royalty minyak dibazirkan untuk projek mewah, diagihkan untuk kroni dari luar Terengganu dan diuruskan secara salah, sedang rakyatnya sendiri masih menderita.
Laman web Malaysia Today http://www.malaysia-today.net/index.shtml di bawah tajuk ‘Didn’t I tell u so’ memuatkan fakta-fakta bagaimana seorang bernama Patrick Lim diberi peluang menguruskan projek mewah di Pulau Duyung dengan dana dari wang royalty sebanyak RM 250. Antaranya, RM 50 juta digunakan untuk membina 50 buah rumah mewah berharga sejuta sebuah, walaupun harga sebenar dikatakan hanya bernilai RM 250,000.
Alasan biasa Perdana Menteri, ‘saya tak tahu’ tidak boleh dipakai. Perdana Menteri wajib memberikan penjelasan terhadap dakwaan yang berat ini. Sebaiknya sebelum Ramadhan berakhir.
Mengapa Patrick Lim lebih istimewa dari anak-anak Wan Ramlah yang menderita di negeri sendiri sedangkan hasil minyak yang terhak untuk rakyat Terengganu melebihi RM 1 billion satu tahun???
Di bawah, saya perturunkan sebahagian petikan apa yang tercatit dari laman web berkenaan;
On 26 June 2005, they set up an events management company called Premium Project Management Sdn Bhd (company number 692728-M). Then, on 9 September 2005, the name was changed to T-Best Events Sdn Bhd. The company’s paid-up capital is only RM2.00.

The company is supposed to be a Terengganu based company but its registered address is at no. 23A, Jalan SS 21/60, Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

The two shareholders of the company who hold one share each of RM1.00 are Saharuddin bin Abdullah and Suhami binti Kiman. The directors of the company are Wan Hisham bin Wan Salleh (Terengganu), Mohamed bin Awang Tera (Terengganu), Chew Kok Foo (Petaling Jaya), Peter William Gilmour (Australia), Chua Hooi Sian (Petaling Jaya) and Lim Poh Tiang (Petaling Jaya).

The name to note here is Wan Hisham bin Wan Salleh, a (EXCO) member of the Terengganu State Government, and the man behind the entire operation. Wan Hisham’s brother, Wan Mohd Farid, is the political secretary to the Minister of Home Affairs, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who, coincidentally, is also the Prime Minister of Malaysia. But Wan Hisham is only there to give the company political weight. The man running the company is Patrick Lim. And Patrick Lim’s job is to conjure up events that the state can embark upon -- which, of course, would require a couple of hundred million Ringgit to finance.

One very ingenious project they came up with was to hold a sailboat race from 29 November to 4 December 2005 called the Monsoon Cup. Instead of everyone running for the hills in fear of a Tsunami hitting this country like it did around Christmas of 2004, they would congregate on the beach to watch sailboats race against each other in the monsoon winds.

And the Monsoon Cup was given a budget of RM250 million, more than enough money to go around. Only in Loony Malaysia can a RM2 company, hardly a couple months in operation, get its hands on a RM250 million government job.

The plan was to invite sailboat champions from all over the world to participate in the race. This would give the Monsoon Cup credibility and prestige that would rival the Langkawi powerboat race. But these world champions would need to be given suitable accommodations and the only five-star hotel in Kuala Terengganu was certainly not suitable enough.

So they built 50 new houses on Mermaid Island, known locally as Pulau Duyung. Each house was priced at RM1 million, so RM50 million would be needed to build these houses. Of course, you and I can build these same houses for around RM250,000 each. But that is not the issue here. The issue is: the foreigners need to be made to believe that they are living in a million dollar house (though it would only be for a few days). Pricing the houses at four times what they actually cost to build was not for purposes of siphoning out any money. (And if you believe this then you will believe that pigs can fly).
Anda meneliti nama-nama itu? Anda perasan nama-nama yang terkait dengan Perdana Menteri? Dan anda tidak mengharapkan apa-apa penjelasan baik dari Kerajaan Terengganu mahupun PM sendiri? Dan PM anda berjanji beliau akan menjulang ketelusan dalam pentadbirannya?
