Why Dato' Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir approved almost whole of Lumut Town to be developed by Kinta Berkat Sdn Bhd without open tender?

On 5th October 2012, I have exposed that Dato' Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir had approved a 6 acres piece of prime land in the Sitiawan Town Centre to Kinta Berkat Sdn Bhd without open tender with very favourable terms. I have asked numerous questions which Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir has refused to answer until today.

I have asked why no open tender was called. I have also asked why premium was reduced from RM4,729,587-00 to only RM52,000-00. Will public funds be use to construct the 44 units of government quarters and the local government depot that were demolished to give way for the project? My 5th October 2012 media statement is attached herewith.

In conjunction with the Prime Minister, Dato’ Seri Najib Bin Tun Razak's visit to Manjung District today, I would like to expose that Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir has approved 147.84 acres of land, almost the whole of the Lumut town land belonging to the State to be developed by Kinta Berkat Sdn Bhd, the same company that was approved to develop the above said 6 acres land in the Sitiawan Town Centre.

The people have the right to know why such a huge development was approved to Kinta Berkat Sdn Bhd without a open tender. What are the terms for the above said development?

The people demand that Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir be transparent with regard to the above said projects. If Dato’ Seri Zambry wants to hold public office, he has a duty to answer the people, failing which he must resign.

The Prime Minister who was instrumental in installing Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir as the Menteri Besar of Perak must insists that Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir discloses fully the terms of the above said projects otherwise, his purported transformation programs are mere rhetorics!
