Statutory Declaration by Phang Li Koon

I, PHANG LI KOON (NRIC No. XXXXXX-07-XXXX) a Malaysian residing in No. XXX-X, Xxxxx Xxxxx, XXXXX Georgetown, Pulau Pinang solemnly and sincerely declare the following:

1. I got to know CM’s family since 2008. I became a close friend to his wife, Betty Chew since then because of her friendly and humble character.

2. In 2008, I bought a house at No. 25, Pinhorn Road, Penang for RM 2.5 million and did some renovation with the intention to let my brother live in. However after I heard from CM’s wife that she was looking for a place to rent due to termites problem at her official residence, I decided to offer them my house to stay. A ten- ancy agreement was entered and signed on 1/7/2009 with 3 years tenure at RM5,000 per month but later the tenure was extended to another 3 years to 30/6/2015.

3. At that time I felt very honoured to rent my house to Penang Chief Minister and his family and also able to help them with their house problem.

4. However, renting the house to them had caused me much distress and stress from the BN and NGOs alleging untrue stories about me. By then I decided to sell the house. There were also more incidents in later years from demonstrations and funeral rites held in front of the house, to even molotov cocktails bomb thrown into the house compound which make the house so exposed and unsafe.

5. There were endless news on the house with its address and pictures splashed all over the newspapers. I felt very uncomfortable that if my relatives or I ever decide to stay there in future, I will not feel safe and secure to stay in such an overly exposed and much publicized house.

6. So by early year of 2012, I had orally let CMs wife, Betty Chew know that if they were ready and willing to buy, I will sell them the house at RM2.8 million. I was told by Betty that they were interested but CM was worried that he could not afford buying the house if he was not re-elected as the Chief Minister. So Betty asked whether I would still sell the house to them at the same price of RM2.8 million after the 13th General elections.

7. However after the 13th general election in 2013, CM’s wife told me that they still need some time to purchase the property and she requested for an option to purchase at later date when they were ready to do so. In 2014 CM and I then executed an agreement dated 23.6.2014 whereby I agreed to grant him a 5 year option tenure to purchase the said property at RM2.8million in consideration of CM paying me RM100,000-00. Pending exercising of the option, I shall continue to allow CM and family to continue renting the said property.

8. Sometime before the extension tenancy was up in 30/6/2015, I had made up my mind to dispose off the property for good. I am a businesswoman and I do not wish to tolerate unnecessary stress and have my name splashed all over the newspapers or social media again and again especially when those insensitive people want to attack CM or raise issue on the Taman Manggis land which I am not involved. I decided to sell the property because it attracts so many unnecessary publicities and allegations from time to time.

9. I had again asked CM’s wife, Betty to request CM to exercise the option to purchase. I did not survey the market when I decided to sell to CM in 2015 because I didn’t think it was necessary. I already have CM as a buyer and there was an understanding pursuant to the Agreement dated 23.6.2014 pertaining to the agreed sale price.

10. After CM’s wife, Betty told me that they have managed to secure a house loan, we decided to sign the sale agreement at the price we agreed earlier; i.e RM2.8mil. From my records the sale & purchase agreement was signed on 28.7.2015 and the bank released the full loan sum in October, 2015.

11. CM and his family had been my good tenants for the last 6 years. To me, CM is a respectable leader and I feel very honoured to sell my property to him. I think Penang has done well under his administration. Most importantly I have sold my property to the person I respect. I have no regret of selling my property to CM at RM2.8million. I have cleared myself of unnecessary headache and stress.

12. I do not understand why my agreement to selling the house to CM has been blown up to such a big national issue when I have no business dealings with the state government. Neither have I obtained any benefit from the state government by selling the house to him. It is my decision at what price I want to sell to the CM. I stress that I was not pressured or forced or under any undue influence by CM or any party to sell the house to CM at RM2.8 million. I sold at my own free will on a willing buyer and willing seller basis.

13. I also wish to clarify here that I am not a director nor shareholder of KLIDC company which has successfully bid for the Taman Manggis land under an open tender. I am also not involved in the management of the company. I reserve my right to legal action against any party should they try to make unnecessary connection to complicate the matter and drag me into this controversy.

And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act 1960.

STATE exco member for Local Government, Traffic Management and Flood Mitigation Chow Kon Yeow chaired a dialogue session which lasted more than an hour with members of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) Penang on March 18. The dialogue, which centred upon the Penang Trans- port Master Plan (PTMP), was aimed at seeking the feedback and opinion of the manufacturing industry in Penang on its implementation. Furthermore, the session provided an opportunity for the FMM to relate its concerns on the existing infra- structure facilities in the state and how these can be improved and blended in with the PTMP for Penang’s future economic growth. According to statistics compiled by the Department of Statistics Malaysia and the Penang Institute, the manufacturing industry especially in the electrical and electronics (E&E) sector accounted for 48% of Penang’s Chow (seated, centre) with Lim (on Chow’s left) listening to the views provided by the FMM Penang members.

新闻秘书澄清首长非指“槟华保校风波” 致《光明日报》采访主任,

贵报于今日(2016年3月12日 )第A10 版,刊登一则题为《黄思恩澄清槟华保校行动 从不与政治人物挂钩》一文,第一段指“针对 槟州首席部长林冠英指槟华保校风波是由马华领袖挑起一事,她和其他校友都感到‘非常吃惊’和‘莫名其妙’”。 本办公室特此细查首长在过去的演讲及记者会录音,发现首长林冠英从来没有说过“槟华保校风波”一词,首长指的是征地事件,而 不是如文中所称的“保校风波”。 因此,《光明日报》以不确实的资讯及方向来引导受访者(即校友黄思恩)一举,实在让人感到遗憾。 首长是于2016年3月10日出席 NEX 2016 槟州领袖研讨会开幕后,受媒体询问有关槟华面对的征地事件时,回应说他身为槟州土地委 员会主席,不曾批准或签过任何要征用槟华校地的文件,土地委员会也没有收到申请征地的建议,更不用说讨论相关的建议 。在土地 征用法令下,征用土地是州政府的绝对权力,任何征用土地必需通过州政府为首的土地委员会。 是则新闻,在隔天(2016年3月11日)也准确无误地刊登在贵报。让人费解的是,贵报却以林冠英未曾说过的话,及贵报未曾刊登过 的新闻来引导受访者,导致首长在此课题上,明明未曾征地也未曾说过的话,透过错误的资讯引导,被冠上莫须有的罪名,让人深感遗 憾。 恳请在槟城具备相当影响力的《光明日报》,能够以专业的方式跟进新闻并厘清事实,而不是扮演栽赃嫁祸的角色, 更敬希贵报能够将此原文照登,以正视听,以免被认为在丑化首长。

谢谢!

高渊东海园居民感谢孙意志州议员积极争取更换输水 爪夷区州议员孙意志(右3)在威省市议员王育璇(右2)、高渊乡委会主席许浩涛及居民陪同下巡视正在进行的输水管 管,助他们摆脱水压低的困境。 提升工程。 19 2016年3月16日 - 31日 时事 杨顺兴争取拨款助更换公寓残旧水槽 为了让位于湖内的维斯达公寓(Vis- ta Condominium )居民有更干净的 水源可以使用,垄尾区州议员杨顺兴 协助该公寓居民向州政府争取拨款来 更换公寓的残旧水槽。 杨顺兴指出,水源是生活中很重要的 元素,因此当居民们表达要申请更换 水槽的意愿时,他毫无疑问地将将居 民们的请求,转告槟州房屋委员会主 席佳日星行政议员。 他指出,州政府随后批准了相关申 请,并承担了更换水槽的80%费用,而 当地居民也相当团结,共同承担了剩 余的20%费用。 杨顺兴是于3月5日出席该公寓居民 举办的宴会时发表谈话。同时出席者 为告公寓管理委员会副主席钟文诚等 人。 他说,有关工程耗资40万5000令 吉,共更换了11个水槽,并已在今年 1月份竣工,而除了上述工程以外,去 年他也拨款帮助提升公寓的电梯。 ”槟州政府将继续以民为本,继续帮 助有需要的人民。”

THE current hot weather is a cause of concern for Penangites. However, the Penang Water Supply Corpora- tion (PBA) has urged Penangites to stay cool as there is no imminent danger of water crisis. On March 16, Datuk. Jaseni Maidinsa, chief executive officer of PBA Holdings Bhd (PBAHB) and Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang Sdn Bhd (PBAPP), issued a statement on the matter. “There has been very little rainfall in Penang in the last 30 days and daytime temperatures have soared to 35ºC. However, there is no immediate danger of a water crisis or water rationing here yet,” he said. “The effective capacities of our dams should be sufficient to last until the rains arrive in April. The Air Itam Dam’s effective capacity stands at 75.7%. This dam has sufficient water to last 74 days without rain. The Teluk Bahang Dam’s effective capacity is at 72.3%, and has sufficient water to last 220 days without rain. The level of Sungai Muda is at 2.41 metres. While the level has dropped, PBAPP is still able to ex- tract around 1 billion litres per day from this In this photo taken on March 17, the lush green field at the Esplanade have turned brown due to the river daily for treatment at the Sungai Dua water sweltering heat. treatment plant,” he added.

CHIEF Minister Lim Guan Eng has taken local daily New Straits Times (NST) to task for twisting his words and misquoting him in a March 17 article.

What I said was we do not have donation scandals,” Lim repeated. “It is because of this type of reporting that NST has lost its readers. Don’t they realise this?” he said. Lim also expressed his disappoint- ments that if reporters can support such journalism, then, they have lost their professionalism. “Don’t twist my words,” was Lim’s parting words.

The Significance of Inter- national Women’s Day (IWD)

INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day is celebrated annually on the 8th of March to not only com- memorate the many achievements and sacrifices women make but also to highlight the still per- sistant inequality that plague the lives of many women and girls. According to the World Eco- nomic Forum, it will take another 117 years to achieve global gen- der equity. We still have a long way to go in terms of achieving this and the Penang State Govern- ment & PWDC seek to close the gender gaps and accelerate our journey towards Gender Equality. In respect to that, in conjunc- tion with International Women’s Day 2016, Penang State has or- ganinzed a month long celebra- tion to raise awareness with the theme Pledge for Parity” and we have four areas of focus: • Helping women and girls achieve their ambition and full potential • Calling for Gender-Balanced Leadership • Respecting and valuing differ- ence in the family, workplace and society • Developing more inclusive and flexible cultures of respect and non-violence

What Can WE do TO- GETHER to Pledge For Parity? 1. Value women’s and men’s con- tributions equally 2. Support organizations & cam- paigns that promote Gender Equality 3. Eliminate Gender Bias and Discrimination 4. Call for Gender- Balanced Leadership 5. Speak to your friends, loved ones and colleagues about Gender Equality 6.
