Khazanah can make this man CEO of the new Malaysia Airlines and get it really over with

Got his wish

Alias Aziz the MAS Employees Union chief, has gotten what he and his union wished for so I see no reason why he should be whining. In May, merely two months after MH370 vanished, Alias repeated the union's demand that the airline be restructured,  telling no less than PM Najib Razak himself that the national airline was losing money because the top management lacked the experience in running airlines (Union calls for PM to shake up airline).

Alias has gotten his wish granted (Khazanah to take over MAS) so he shouldn't be bitching, right? Wrong.

Yesterday, he claimed that he was NOT informed of a meeting called by the Mas management with the unions. Did he lie?

See the claim he made and an internal record that says otherwise:

MAS Employees Union in the dark

Tuesday, 12 August 2014

PETALING JAYA: MAS Employees Union (Maseu), the biggest union of the members of the airline, said that it had not been invited to attend the briefing by the chairman and management yesterday.

“They did not write to us to notify us about the meeting. I have not received anything,” said Maseu president Alias Aziz when contacted yesterday.

Maseu is the most vociferous union and in 2011 had successfully lobbied to unwind the share-swap agreement between MAS and AirAsia Bhd.

Of the eight MAS unions and associations, only Maseu representatives were not at the briefing yesterday. - Ends

Here's the record on the 2 min 24 sec phone conversation purportedly to inform one Alias Abd Aziz about the meeting between the managment and the union:

Khalid says sacking flawed, illegal, bias, done by people with vested interest, wild, spurious, etc

Cacat lagi haram. Lawyers of Khalid Ibrahim, the Selangor Menteri Besar who was sacked from Anwar Ibrahim's PKR on Friday in a reckless, shameless move to replace him with Anwar's wife Wan Azizah Ismail (who happens to be President of the PKR and poised to replace Khalid if/when he goes), have described his sacking as not only cacat (flawed) but haram (illegal) as well ...

Excerpts from lawyer Edmund Bon's letter on behalf of his client the MB to MB-wannabe Wan Azizah yesterday:   

4. The disciplinary process against our client smacks of impunity, abuse, pre-judgement and bias for the following reason:

4.1 The PKR Disciplinary Board has: 

a. convened a disciplinary process on short notice

b. failed to specify with sufficient clarity the charge(s) levelled against our client 

c. subsequently called on our client to answer 5 new issues which were not in the show cause letter 

d. not replied to our client's request for postponement

e. failed to provide details as to the composition of the PKR Disciplinary Board 

f. convened a disciplinary hearing in absence of our client

g. been chaired by YB Dato Dr Tan Kee Kwong, who himself is under inquiry for alleged mismanagement of funds under the Skim Mesra Usia Emas 

h. proceed to recommend that the PKR MPP (Central Leadership Council) sack our client without hearing our client 

4.2 The PKR MPP has  

a. failed to take into account the flawed and illegal disciplinary process by the PKR Disciplinary Board 

b. taken into account matters not contained in the show cause letter such as the Selangor water restructuring, increase in the Menteri Bessr's allowance, increase in business license taxes, Kidex 

c.  Allowed members who have vested interest to sack out clients given that:

i.  YB Dato Seri Wan Aziz Wan Ismail has purportedly been selected to "replace" out client as the Menteri Besar of Selangor 

ii.  Members of the PKR MPP have entrenched their positions by making wild and spurious allegations against our client which would be difficult for them to retract now 

iii. Members of the PKR MPP have further endorsed the distribution of a defamatory "dossier" of our client in an attempt to compel his ouster

5. It is imperative to note that the total time taken from the date of the show cause letter of 5 August 2014 to the sacking of our client is less than 5 days

Get the entire 3-page letter from MB to MB wannabe h e r e. 

Clearly,  Khalid's lawyers are getting ready to file the Mother of all Lawsuits to defend the integrity of their client and the Menteri Besar of Selangor. As a resident of this once proud and rich state for the last 30 years, I am so tired of the antics of the Pakatan Rakyat politicians, from Anwar to his don't-mind-to-be-called-puppet wife, to Rafizi Ramli and their cybertroopers.  I think this is the last time I'd be writing about this kemelut Selangor. I would like to shift my focus on Penang and Johor, states run by damaged goods ... 

Lawsuits galore as Selangor descends into hell and Guan Eng reaches the zenith of suing power ...

Quotes for all time: "Could it be because he wants to bully the
Penang Chief Minister just because Lim is a Chinese?"

I have a feeling that the best lawyers in town are going to have a field day in the coming weeks filing suits for comrades and counter-suits against fellow comrades as the crisis in Pakatan Rakyat deepens ...

The big news yesterday about Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and his zenith:

Guan Eng to sue if Nasrudin does not clarify allegation

Talk about zenith, PAS Youth Central Committee chairman Nasrudin Yusuff Tantawi might want to be very careful. (Nasrudin Tantawi, btw, got the lawsuit threat for implying that Penang Chief Minister Guan Eng lied to us about the controversial billion $$$ undersea tunnel project and the state's true economic wellbeing - read again, slowly, h e r e).

I say so not just because he's facing LGE son of Kit Siang but the PAS chap has drawn into this fight the big boss of Consortium Zenith, a Melayu called Zarul Ahmad Zulkifli (pic)

I'm underscoring Zarul's race only because of how he used the racial issue against fellow Melayu from PAS in trying to defend Guan Eng:

Meanwhile, Consortium Zenith BUCG Sdn Bhd chairman Datuk Zarul Ahmad Zulkifli, who was also present, said he was at a loss for words over Nasrudin’s statements and could not think of a reason why he would make such baseless claims. 

“I don’t know why he made such baseless claims despite us informing time and again that the project was awarded via open tender. 

“Could it be because he wants to bully the Penang Chief Minister just because Lim is a Chinese?”

Wow, right?! Please read the whole story h e r e.

More later (got to consult my lawyer first ... if I can find him!).
