PETALING JAYA (April 24, 2008): Three days after their husbands lost power to rule Selangor, the wives got into the act – plotting to dissolve a welfare body and remove almost RM10 million from its bank accounts.
But their attempts have been thwarted by Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim who wrote to the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to question the validity of the decision to dissolve the Association of Wives of State Assemblymen and Members of Parliament in Selangor (Balkis).
It is learnt that Abdul Khalid has ordered a thorough investigation and audit into the affairs of the association which was set up in 1985 to undertake welfare work.
According to documents sighted by theSun, Datin Seri Zaharah Kechik, the wife of former mentri besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo had on March 11 convened an extraordinary general meeting of the committee to dissolve Balkis and close its bank accounts. The following day, the accounts were closed, with the money transferred to another account and then to Bakti – the federal Organisation of Wives of Ministers which Balkis is affiliated to.

她受詢時對《星洲日報》表示,她是在上兩個星期知道此事,並第一時間告知現任州務大臣丹斯里卡立,而卡立已在23日致函社團註冊局,要求調查俱樂部解散事件和稽查該俱樂部的財務狀況。

Genggam bara api biar sampai jadi arang.MB Khalid should not back off from setting the records straight. Don’t be afraid to pursue the matter just because Zahrah threatened legal action. She is making matters worse by not returning the cash.

From all this matters clearly confirmed that UMNO people are making everything theirs and not the RAKYAT’s. THey are making everything become political. THis is truly not a gentlemen way of doing things. THis is clearly showed that they are not doing the things for the interest of the people but for themselves UMNO people only. Again, is it UMNO people is more prestige than others and only them know how to utilised the fund properly and not other people?? We should protest on those ministers who abuse their power and not to disburse the RAKYAT’s meoney to the 5 states. Our PM, is he still sleeping or again he is only talking one thing and doing anothers. If the sub-ordinates are not doing the correct things he should have voiced out and correct them then this is called LEADER. And not a leader who just keep an eye closed and let the sub ordinates continue to make the situation worst. WAKE UP, PM! They are still living in their ARROGANT dream! Lets the next election approach us faster then make them all really wake up!!!
