Is there not a single Minister or Member of Parliament from UMNO, MCA, Gerakan, MIC or the component Barisan Nasional parties from Sabah and Sarawak who is outraged by the colossal losses amounting to RM513.90 million suffered by three institutions, namely the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), the Pensions Trust Fund (KWAP) and Danaharta in the past one week as a result of the misuse of their funds in the Time dotCom IPO bailout? And is there not a single Minister or MP from the 14 Barisan Nasional parties who dare to speak out to convey the national outrage over such criminal misapplication of the provident and pension trust funds to bailout one select company and one special individual?
Members of Parliament are reconvening tomorrow when the Yang di Pertuan Agong will officially declare open another new session of Parliament and the policy debate on the royal address will begin on Tuesday.
I call on every Barisan Nasional MP taking part in the policy debate
to speak out against the scandal of EPF, KWAP and Danaharta bailout of
the Time dotCom IPO, jeopardising the retirement funds of 9.7 million EPF
contributors and the pensions and gratuities of 800,000 civil servants
and to demand full accountability and transparency in the management of
funds of
government-linked institutions. All Barisan Nasional MPs who dare not
speak out against the scandal of EPF, KWAP and Danaharta bailout of the
Time dotCom IPO in Parliament should not stand up to take part in the parliamentary
policy debate on the Royal Address beginning on Tuesday
