ABU! ABU! ABU! (UPDATED with Chinese Translation)
Dijaya originally bid only RM895 million (payable over 20 years) while SP Setia Berhad bid RM1.15 billion (payable over only 6-8 years) and Mah Sing Group Bhd bid RM945 million (payable over only 7 years). This means Dijaya cannot get the deal because their bid is the least attractive of the three. Dijaya was then asked to up their price to RM1.3 billion in a ‘behind-the-scenes’ negotiation.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
I am glad that a lot of dirt was revealed recently regarding the billions of ringgit worth of ‘rush jobs’ that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak did to beat the 13th General Election deadline. Should a ‘caretaker government’ commit the country to billions of ringgit in contracts when there is always a possibility that the government may change the night of Polling Day?
Of course, there is nothing illegal here and we will not be able to indict and convict anyone for any crime. After all, although Parliament may have been dissolved, life must still go on and it is still business as usual. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of moral although the issue of legal does not arise.
If you just want to focus on legal issues while you ignore moral issues, then for a politician to be caught bonking another woman in a hotel room is not something illegal or criminal. However, it is certainly immoral. Hence the moral aspect of your actions must also be questioned even if there is nothing illegal in what you do.
Another moral issue is concerning the news item below regarding the RM1.3 billion deal (with a RM20 billion earning potential) involving the Selangor State ‘Caretaker’ Government and Dijaya Corporation.
According to the Selangor Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, the deal has not been finalised yet (MB says Dijaya deal not finalised). According to the market, however, it is actually a done-deal.
As I said, this is only a moral issue. Is it a done-deal or is the deal not yet finalised? There are mixed signals here. And should the caretaker government commit the state to this deal when there may be a possibility that the state government may change hands by dinnertime of 5th May 2013?
According to the critics of the deal, this is exactly why they are rushing the deal before 5th May 2013. Pakatan Rakyat is not sure whether it can retain the state so it wants the deal wrapped up before then.
That is one issue.
The second issue is: Dijaya originally bid only RM895 million (payable over 20 years) while SP Setia Berhad bid RM1.15 billion (payable over only 6-8 years) and Mah Sing Group Bhd bid RM945 million (payable over only 7 years). This means Dijaya cannot get the deal because their bid is the least attractive of the three. Dijaya was then asked to up their price to RM1.3 billion in a ‘behind-the-scenes’ negotiation.
Why was Dijaya given the privilege of a behind-the-scenes negotiation and allowed a second bite of the cherry? This is what the other bidders are unhappy about. A tender is a tender and the highest price should get it (if all bidders equally qualify, of course). In this case, Dijaya was allowed to revise their price to out-bid the others.
Interestingly enough, the people behind Dijaya are Ronnie Liu, Teresa Kok and Azmin Ali. And even more interesting is the fact that Dijaya has ‘donated’ RM200 million to Pakatan Rakyat Selangor’s war chest. Furthermore, Azmin threatened to drop Khalid from a Selangor state seat if he objects to the deal and tries to block it (and if Khalid keeps quiet and supports the deal he would be given the Port Kelang state seat).
Now hold on a minute, I thought that the man behind Dijaya is Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s crony, Tan Sri Dato’ Danny Tan Chee Sing! You mean Dr Mahathir’s cronies are also Pakatan Rakyat’s cronies?
Hmm…that is most interesting. No wonder Umno did not make any noise about this. Is this what ABU is all about? Reject Umno but keep giving the Umno cronies plenty of money under a Pakatan Rakyat government?
Well, what does Raja Petra Kamarudin know? After all, he is living in Manchester and does not know what is going on in Malaysia. And Pakatan Rakyat Selangor can certainly do with the RM200 million ‘donation’ to face the coming general election. And does not the ends justify the means (matlamat menghalalkan cara)?

Dijaya buys land for RM1.3 billion, with potential GDV of RM20 billion
(The Edge) – Property developer Dijaya Corporation announced it has acquired 1,172 acres of prime development land in Canal City, Selangor.
In a statement, Dijaya said it has today entered into an agreement to acquire the state-owned land from Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd (PNSB) for about RM1.3 billion via a deferred payment method spanning up to 20 years.
The purchase consideration comprises land purchase price of RM587 million, interest cost, share of gross development value (GDV) and profit entitlement from the development.
“This land development is expected to contribute significantly to the group’s prospects in the coming years,” Dijaya said.
Dijaya said it will progressively fund the acquisition and development cost via internally generated funds and bank borrowings.
The land is targeted for an integrated self-contained township development with potential GDV of RM20 billion. It is earmarked for launch within two years.
Datuk Dickson Tan, its group managing director said: “With strong prospects for capital appreciation due to excellent accessibility, this project can potentially generate a GDV of up to RM20.0 billion when fully completed over its 15-20 year targeted development timeframe.”

Dijaya Corp’s RM1.3b Canal City site purchase ‘favourable’
(The Star) – Dijaya Corp Bhd’s acquisition of the 1,172 acres of land in Canal City for RM1.3bil is “favourable” due to its “cheap” price tag and payment terms which bodes well for its balance sheet, UOB KayHian Malaysia Research says.
“Although Dijaya’s surprise landbank acquisition runs against our earlier assessment the company was in an asset monetisation and degearing mode, its acquisition of 1,172 acres of land in Canal City from the state of Selangor for effectively RM1.3bil (RM25.41per square foot) is deemed cheap,” it said.
It maintained a “buy” call on the stock with a target price of RM1.65 per share as the Canal City land project would only be launched in 2015.
It said the staggered payment over 12 years would have minimal impact on Dijaya’s balance sheet.
The research house said the RM1.3bil price tag was manageable as Dijaya had close to RM214mil cash, which should further strengthen based on its unbilled sales of close to RM1bil.
“The deal also includes an interest of 5% per annum of up to RM252mil (subject to waiver) and a gross development value (GDV) sharing totalling a minimum amount of RM458.3mil (out of a projected GDV of RM8.6bil),” the research house said.
It pointed out the land was next to IJM Land Bhd’s Bandar Rimbayu, a development which attracted significant demand with over 6,000 registrants with first phase fully sold.
“With connectivity to five major highways, namely KESAS, LKSA, ELITE, SKVE and WCE (once it is ready), we believe Dijaya’s cheap entry provides a good margin buffer for their integrated self-contained township development,” it added.
UOB KayHian Research said the developer’s latest acquisition would level up its landbank size and GDV significantly from 800 acres to 2,000 acres and RM50bil to RM70bil respectively. It also said Dijaya’s realisable net asset value (RNAV) per share would be lifted to RM3.15 per share from RM2.35 per share, factoring in a conservative RM40 psf to the Canal City land.
“Pegging a similar discount of 30%, our target price could be lifted to RM2.32,” it added.

只要不是巫統！只要不是巫統！只要不是巫統！
Dijaya一開始只出價8億9千5百萬（20年内還清），而SP Setia Berhad出價11億5千萬（6-8年還清）和Mah Sing Group Bhd 的9億4千5百萬（7年内還清）。這表示Dijaya不可能會標到，因為他們的投標是最不吸引人的。Dijaya過後在一個‘幕後談判’裏被要求擡價至13億。

我很高興能夠看到各方不斷地揭露首相納吉在大選日前慌忙地把數以億計的合約判出去。在政府可能易手的情形下，國家‘代理政府’應該把數以億計的合約發出去嗎？
當然，這並不是刑事犯罪，我們不能因此而把有關人士定罪。縱然國會經已解散，生活（和生意）還是得過（做）的。無論如何，即使這不是刑事問題它也應該是個道德操守問題。
如果你注重的是刑事犯法，那政客被捉奸在床並不是個問題；那是道德操守問題。所以說，你的道德操守必須被談及的，雖然說有時候你並沒有犯法。
另一件和道德有關的事情是以下13億5千萬馬幣（將近200億馬幣的盈利潛力），牽涉到雪蘭莪民聯‘代理政府’和Dijaya公司的生意合同。
根據雪州州務大臣卡立那份合同還沒有敲定（http://malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/newscommentaries/55953-ge13-mb-says-dijaya-deal-not-finalised），但市場則說一切都已訂好了。
正如我所說，這是個道德問題。到底敲定了沒？看來還有很多的糾結。但在州政府可能易手的情形下，雪州‘代理政府’應該在5月5號前把數以億計的合約發出去嗎？
根據此事件的批評家，這正好是爲什麽他們要慌忙的把這單生意在5月5號前給了結的原因。民聯並不確定他們是否能連任，所以他們要把這單生意事先給搞定好。
這是第一個問題。
第二個問題是：Dijaya一開始只出價8億9千5百萬（20年内還清），而SP Setia Berhad出價11億5千萬（6-8年還清）和Mah Sing Group Bhd 的9億4千5百萬（7年内還清）。這表示Dijaya不可能會標到，因為他們的投標是最不吸引人的。Dijaya過後在一個‘幕後談判’裏被要求擡價至13億。
爲什麽Dijaya會有被邀請參加那個‘幕後談判’的特權呢？這是其他投標公司很不高興的。招標就是招標，開出最高標價的公司就應該是獲標的公司（當然所有的投標公司都要是同樣符合資格的）。在此事件中，只有Dijaya被允許二次投標而把其他公司給打輸。
更有趣的是，Dijaya背後人物是劉天球，郭素沁，和阿芝敏Azmin Ali。而更加有趣的是Dijaya已‘捐’了2億令吉作爲雪蘭莪民聯的選舉經費。不止如此，阿芝敏還威脅卡利，如果卡利敢反對或從中作梗的話他會把他的雪州席位給拿掉。（如果卡利保持安靜給與支持的話，他就會在巴生港口上陣）
等等，我以爲Dijaya背後人物是敦馬的裙帶摯友，丹斯里拿督陈志成！你是說敦馬的裙帶摯友也是民聯的裙帶摯友？
哼。。。。真有意思，怪不得巫統毫不作響。這是ABU（Asal Bukan Umno, Anything But Umno,只要不是巫統）的中心嗎？我們要拒絕巫統但可以通過民聯政府給巫統的裙帶摯友很多錢？
Raja Petra Kamarudin知道些什麽？他現在生活在曼徹斯特，他對大馬根本一概不知。雪蘭莪民聯絕對可以應用那2億令吉的‘捐款’來應付此次大選。我們不是早就說了，結果可以合理化手段嗎？
