State Funds Not Used, Says Selangor MB
Selangor Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim has denied that he had used state funds to sponsor 46 heads of cattle for meat distribution to constituents of Bandar Tun Razak during Aidiladha last December.
He said the cattle, valued at over RM110,000, were sponsored by subsidiaries and associate companies of Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS), which wanted the meat to be distributed to suraus in the constituency.
Khaled is the Member of Parliament of the constituency.
"There is no question of abuse of power and furthermore, it was members of the public who benefited from the effort," he told reporters after chairing the weekly state executive council meeting here today.
He was responding to Gerakan Rakyat Anti-Korupsi (Gerak Malaysia) lodging a report today regarding the matter with the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission.
Gerak's chairman, Mohd Nazree Mohd Yunus, among others had alleged that Khalid had used state funds in the matter.
On other matters, Khalid said the state government had set up a special committee, which will be chaired by himself, to closely monitor the employment situation in the state in the wake of the global economic crisis.
He said the committee, which would be made up state executive councillors and union representatives, would meet once a week from Jan 30.
He also said that the state government was informed that the Appeals Court today had upheld an appeal filed by residents of Kampung Sungai Terentang in Rawang which sought to prevent Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) from building transmission towers in their village.
He added that the state government would cooperate with TNB to find alternative sites to erect the towers as they were part of the utility's project to ensure smooth supply of electricty to 6.5 million households.
The project had been delayed by a year because of the court hearing.

PKNS taja lembu korban Bandar Tun Razak
PETALING JAYA: Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS) hari ini menjelaskan bahawa ia telah menaja 390 ekor lembu korban yang diagihkan kepada surau dan masjid di seluruh negeri Selangor sempena sambutan Hari Raya Aidiladha pada Disember lepas.
Menurut perbadanan itu, dalam menguruskan penajaan lembu untuk ibadat korban di Selangor, beberapa anak syarikat dan syarikat bersekutunya telah bersetuju menderma lembu korban di kawasan Bandar Tun Razak sebagai menjalankan tanggungjawab sosial.
Keputusan untuk menderma 46 ekor lembu korban kepada 46 masjid, surau dan madrasah di kawasan Bandar Tun Razak telah dibuat selepas satu perbincangan diadakan di peringkat kumpulan pengurusan PKNS dan beberapa anak syarikat serta syarikat bersekutu, katanya dalam satu kenyataan di sini.
Bayaran untuk 46 ekor lembu itu telah diuruskan oleh Selangor Industrial Corporation (SIC) Berhad, yang kemudiannya membahagikan bayaran itu kepada enam lagi anak syarikat dan syarikat bersekutu PKNS yang telah menyatakan persetujuan untuk menyertai program itu, katanya.
Pihak PKNS hanya memaklumkan kepada Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim tentang derma lembu korban itu setelah semua perancangan selesai diatur, kata perbadanan itu.
Kenyataan itu juga menyebut bahawa Abdul Khalid bukan pengerusi SIC Berhad seperti yang dilaporkan oleh pihak media, sebaliknya, Datin Paduka Low Siew Moi selaku pengurus besar PKNS, adalah pengerusinya.
Pada Rabu lepas, Abdul Khalid menafikan dakwaan kononnya beliau menggunakan dana kerajaan negeri bagi membiayai pembelian 46 ekor lembu korban bernilai lebih RM110,000 pada Hari Raya Aidiladha lepas. BERNAMA
