Chapter 5 Corruption Within Corruption: The Tweed Ring
It is important that Yayasan Sofa and Universiti As-Sofa to clear its name as both organization and institution of higher learning is claiming to uphold the values of Islam, but the acts of those who are responsible for its establishment are far from it.
Greetings and Salutation to all,
Before I continue any further, in conjunction of the King’s Installation or Coronation yesterday, I would like to say this
“DAULAT TUANKU”.
Now let’s continue. I’ve received numerous emails claiming to have evidence of corruption, since this little blog “caught fire” few months ago. I thanked all those that sent in their emails, but I need more insight before I can publish any exposé based on those emails. I need more witnesses, more evidence. The more the merrier. My advice is simple, gather more incriminating evidence. Get that “checkmate” move before going public. Keep the emails and evidence pouring in, I will try my best to connect the dots and if it’s solid, I will publish it. I’m not in the position to conduct a full investigation, but I will try my best.
It has been more than a month since my rebut against “THE TWEED RING” namely Senator Dato’ Dr. Awang Adek Hussain; Dato’ Po’ad Jelani; Dato’ Mohd Shukor Abd. Manan; Dato’ Sri Azalina Othman and “THE TWEED BOSS” of Malaysia, The Invincible Dato’ Yahaya Abd Jalil. NOTHING HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE AUTHORITIES OR SO IT SEEM THAT WAY. I KNOW THAT I’VE PROMISED NOT TO DISCLOSE ANY OTHER PARTY UNTIL PROPER ACTIONS BEING TAKEN BY THE AUTHORITY, BUT THIS POST JUST COULD NOT WAIT.
Lets get down to business shall we. As usual I’m evoking The Whistleblower Protection Act 2010, Act 711, gazette on 10 June 2010 for myself, my sources and informers. ALL INFORMATION DISCLOSE HERE IS NOT MEANT TO SLANDER ANYONE OR TARNISH THEIR IMAGE BUT I’M JUST STATING THE FACT AS IT IS AND THE IMPROPER CONDUCT OF THOSE IN IT.

First and foremost, let me congratulate Dato’ Dr. Awang Adek Hussain for his reappointment as Senator of Dewan Negara. This would also means that his position as Deputy Minister for Ministry of Finance and Working Committee Chairman for Skim Jejak Jaya Bumiputra would remain intact. Ultimately this would also means that SPRM are not looking into the graft “allegations” against Senator Dato’ Dr. Awang Adek Hussain any further and SPRM have given Senator Dato’ Dr. Awang Adek Hussain a clean bill to commit more corruption. The authorities are clearly being kleptocracy.
The Senator Dato’ Dr. Awang Adek Hussain have yet still to comment on the SJJB being the major influenced in all major government contracts award. If as a Deputy Finance Minister, he has no say in government contract award and being SJJB Working Committee Chairman certainly means something. Words has it that Senator Dato’ Dr. Awang Adek Hussain Co-Chair a meeting as SJJB Working Committee Chairman with the Treasury Chief Secretary last month in Putrajaya for contractors selection. Why would someone that has nothing to do with a decision making Co-Chair a meeting? |
Enough comment and chit chat, lets get down to the real business. A recent comment made in my previous posting, have caught my attention. Based on that, my sources and informers managed to uncover some very interesting documents. The commenter claims that a religious public figure was on the take from Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil. Based on his Identification Card, his name is Muhammad Fuad Bin Kamaludin, Identification Card Number 740916-05-5049. But the public knows him as Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki.

First a bit of background on Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki. He is highly regarded as a well versed Muslim scholar with hundreds of books written by him. He is also a member of the Fatwa Committee of Negeri Sembilan. He is also the founder and advisor of Yayasan Sofa Negeri Sembilan (here). Recently on 14/01/2012, he was awarded Darjah Setia Tunku Muhriz Yang Amat Gemilang (DSTM) which carries the title Dato’ by DYYM Yang Di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus, Tuanku Muhriz ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir at Istana Besar Seri Menanti.
Among other he is also the Chairman of a company that is responsible for the establishment of Universiti As-Sofa ( here). |

Unconfirmed information from a worthy source also mentioned that he is a former follower of the banned Al-Arqam cult leader Ashaari Muhammad or also known as Abuya by Al-Arqam cult members.
 |
| Ashaari Muhammad also known as Abuya Syeikh Imam Ashaari Muhammad At Tamimi by Al-Arqam followers. |
Now lets get to the juicy part. It is said that Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki have been receiving RM 100,000.00 monthly “contributions” from AMPMSB (A company belonging to Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil) since December 2010. The documents (AMPMSB payment voucher) that I have depicts that these “contributions” was first categories as “Consultation Fees” and later changed to “Sponsorship” (here).

| AMPMSB Payment Voucher PV No. 7605/10 |
A correction was also made on the payment voucher, where the cheque number was first noted as 876061 then corrected to 876063. The cheque amounting to RM 100,000.00 is clearly shown here.
 |
| AMPMSB Cheque No 876063 |
The cheque was then deposited to Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki own personal account, account number “1443-0000620-20-8” of CIMB as shown here.

| CIMB Cheque Deposit Slip To Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamuludin Al-Maliki Personal Account dated 27/12/2010 |
This was believe to be the first “contribution” being given from AMPMSB (Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil) to Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki. The “contributions” was given consistently on a monthly basis since December 2010 (as shown above) and until June 2011, via cheques:
- Cheque number 876147 of CIMB, dated 12/01/2011;
- Cheque number 876234 of CIMB, dated 24/02/2011;
- Cheque number 876404 of CIMB, dated 24/03/2011;
- Cheque number 876496 of CIMB, dated 26/04/2011;
- Cheque number 876639 of CIMB, dated 25/05/2011 and;
- Cheque number 876727 of CIMB, dated 24/06/2011 (here).

| AMPMSB Cheque No 876727 |
It is also learned that the contributions continues to be given on a monthly basis from July 2011 onwards, with a different mode of transactions. This change is believe as I’ve said in my November 2011 post, due to SPRM was alerted or tip off. This next piece of evidence (here) will shows that AMPMSB “Authorized Signatories” (Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil) have instruct CIMB Bank Berhad (Pusat Bandar Damansara Branch) Remittance Officer, Puan Surina Idris to transfer RM 100,000.00 from AMPMSB “Corporate Current Account No 1415 000 94180-50” to “Recipient” Muhammad Fuad Bin Kamaludin (Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki) personal bank account, account number “1443 0000 6202 08” of CIMB Bank.

General public would expect someone highly regarded as Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki would then transfer or use the money for Yayasan Sofa Negeri Sembilan. That there is no hidden agenda from Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki as he is an “Ulama”. I beg to differ.
Firstly, let me state that Yayasan Sofa Negeri Sembilan, is a registered organization. It also has its own bank account as clearly shown here or here with CIMB Bank and account number 1443 0000 0251 08.

Yayasan Sofa Negeri Sembilan has made it very clear that any contribution given to the foundation, would also be tax deductable. This also clearly shows that Yayasan Sofa has been acknowledge by the authority as a legitimate foundation. A company tax can be as little as 20% and the amount being contributed to the founder and advisor of Yayasan Sofa Negeri Sembilan, Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki would most certainly alleviate the company tax borne by AMPMSB if the “contributions” were instead made to Yayasan Sofa Negeri Sembilan own account. Otherwise, the “Sponsorship” (as per PV) contributed to Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki could not be considered or declared as legitimate operational cost or tax deductable sponsorship according to the law.
Secondly, the “contribution” given to Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki was not without any hidden agenda as Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil was appointed as one of Yayasan Sofa Negeri Sembilan advisor and still is until today. Question arise as to whom appointed Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil as one of the advisor? Even though Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil is being implicated in several graft allegations given to Deputy Ministers, Member of Parliament and Senior Government Servants, he is still one of the advisor to Yayasan Sofa Negeri Sembilan without ever being asked to resigned or being relinquish from the post.
There are many other issues could be raised. But one particular issue, that really hit the jackpot is the establishment of Universiti As-Sofa by a company belonging to Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil, Gerbang As Sofa Sdn Bhd as stated here is highly questionable. The equal partner of Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil in Gerbang As Sofa Sdn Bhd is none other than Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki, with a paid up capital of RM 20,000,000.00 (20M), both Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil and Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki each invested RM 9,999,999.00 in Gerbang As-Sofa Sdn Bhd. Both Dato’ Yahya Abd Jalil and Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki also sits on the Board Of Director in Gerbang As-Sofa Sdn Bhd. Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki is also the Chairman of Gerbang As-Sofa Sdn Bhd.
I would imagine someone highly regarded as a Muslim scholar like Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki would be able to practice high integrity. Taking “contributions” directly to his personal account from a man that have an interest in a business dealing is similar to taking bribes. Question also arise to where does the money of nearly RM 10,000,000.00 (10M) come from for Dato’ Al-Musnid Syeikh Muhammad Fuad Kamaludin Al-Maliki to be an equal partner in Gerbang As Sofa Sdn Bhd.
