登嘉楼州爆料

One thing that Malaysia Today would like to raise is the matter of
Terengganu's oil royalty which we hope Mahathir will address on 28
July. Since the mid-1970s, Terengganu had been enjoying a 5% royalty
on all the oil and gas extracted in the state. That is what is
provided for under the Petroleum Development Act. In fact, not only
Terengganu, but any state in Malaysia where oil and gas is extracted
they would enjoy the same. However, in 2000, this royalty was
withdrawn and converted to Wang Ehsan (goodwill money). Suddenly, the
RM800 million or so a year that Terengganu was supposed to get as its
5% share of the oil and gas revenue was transferred out of the state
and into the hands of one man, Idris Jusoh.

Malaysia was then already suffering from an outbreak of JE. But in
Terengganu it was JE of another kind, Jusoh Enterprise, Idris Jusoh's
family business. Jusoh Enterprise or JE was suddenly flush with funds,
RM800 million a year to be exact. Then, in 2004, Umno, under the
stewardship of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, won back the state from the
opposition. But the state did not win back its 5% oil royalty. The
Wang Ehsan continued and Idris Jusoh, who now became the Chief
Minister, continued to single-handedly manage the fund. Even the State
Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) and the Terengganu State
Economic Planning Unit (UPENT) were left totally in the dark. One man,
Idris Jusoh, decided how the money was spent, and it is a lot of
money.

But the new Prime Minister, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, would not tolerate
one man managing the state's coffers. He wanted Idris Jusoh's hands
out of the RM800 million a year cash box. However, to revert to the 5%
royalty only meant that the money would come directly under state
control. That would not serve their purpose. They wanted direct
control of the RM800 million. Now it was under the control of the
Prime Minister's Department but passed down to Idris Jusoh's hands.
What they needed to do was to get Idris Jusoh's hands out of the
equation.

Then Khairy Jamaluddin, Abdullah's son-in-law cum adviser, came out
with a fantastic new 'umbrella concept', better than even Mahathir's.
They wanted control of the RM800 million a year. But they did not want
to get it out of Idris Jusoh's hands by putting it into the hands of
the state. That would merely be a case of out of the frying pan, into
the fire. They wanted direct control of the money without Idris Jusoh
deciding on how the money is spent.

And this is how they did it.

First they appointed Wan Farid, Khairy's 'running dog', as Abdullah's
Political Secretary. Then they appointed Wan Hisham, Wan Farid's
brother, as the State Exco Member in-charge of tourism. Then they gave
Patrick Lim, Khairy's business partner, the sole monopoly of all state
tourism projects. Now the network is intact and Idris Jusoh has been
cut off.

Patrick Lim's job is to create all sorts of state tourism projects at
hugely inflated prices. He would then propose these projects to Wan
Hisham, the man in-charge of tourism. Wan Hisham would then pass them
on to his brother, Wan Farid. Wan Farid would then pass them on to
Khairy. Idris Jusoh would of course be left out of the loop and he
would only know about them when it was a fait accompli -- as the
Malays would say, "Nasi sudah jadi bubur."

They built 30 houses at RM1 million each on an island in the
Terengganu River . They launched a RM300 million a year yacht race
called the Monsoon Cup. Hundreds of millions a year is being spent to
'attract tourists to Terengganu' including RM300 million for crystal mosque.
It seems this year the amount of Wang Ehsan has shot up from RM800
million to RM1 billion -- so there is even more money to play around with.

To ensure that Idris Jusoh keeps his hands out of the cash box,
Abdullah himself chairs the state meetings though he is the Prime
Minister and not the Terengganu Chief Minister. Of course, Idris
Jusoh, being the Chief Minister, is allowed to sit in on these
meetings though he has no say on what they propose. Patrick Lim,
though he is not in the government, is also allowed to attend these
meetings.

Abdullah would then propose all sorts of tourism projects conjured by
Wan Hisham, Wan Farid and Khairy. Details are of course not discussed;
only the gist of things and the amounts involved. Whenever Idris Jusoh
raises any questions, he would be told to 'leave it all to Patrick Lim
who knows what to do'. Idris Jusoh is not to involve himself in the
details.

After awhile Idris Jusoh got quite pissed and tried to resist.. One
project that he knew nothing about was placed before him and he was
told by Patrick Lim to sign the papers. But how could he sign the
papers when he knew nothing about it and would eventually have to bear
responsibility for it?

Patrick Lim walked out of Idris Jusoh's office and phoned Wan Farid
who complained to Khairy. Within an hour Idris Jusoh received a phone
call from Abdullah who ordered him to sign the papers, which he of
course did straight away.

Patrick Lim's hold on Abdullah was apparent to all but somehow not to
Idris Jusoh. One day Abdullah visited Terengganu to chair the regular
meetings on how to spend Terengganu's RM800 million (which is now RM1
billion because of the increase in oil prices). Idris Jusoh fetched
Abdullah from the airport but before his car could move Patrick Lim's
car cut in front of Idris Jusoh's car and Abdullah got out of Idris
Jusoh's car and got into Patrick Lim's car. Idris Jusoh should have
realised then who really runs Terengganu.

Yes, RM1 billion a year is a lot of money. This money, which should
belong to Terengganu, is not going to the state. It is going to Wan
Hisham, Wan Farid, Patrick Lim and Khairy. And Abdullah chairs the
state meetings to decide how the money is spent. And Wan Hisham, Wan
Farid, Patrick Lim and Khairy help spend the money. And they spend it
all. And Idris Jusoh has no say in how it is spent. And if he refuses
to sign the papers he will get a phone call from Abdullah.

Now do you know who runs this country? Abdullah says he and not his
son-in-law runs this country. Idris Jusoh however will tell you that
Khairy runs this country. And Khairy also runs Terengganu and manages
its RM1 billion a year through Wan Hisham, Wan Farid and Patrick Lim.
And Abdullah chairs the Terengganu State meetings on behalf of Khairy
and according to the plan on how Patrick Lim wishes to spend the RM1
billion a year.

And now do you know why Mahathir is so pissed? And he has every reason
to be pissed. In fact, I too am pissed. And that is why I agree that
Mahathir stays pissed with Abdullah and his son-in-law. The Terengganu
issue alone is enough for me to get pissed. And rest assured that
Terengganu is but the tip of the iceberg.

Yes, it is nice being able to walk in the corridors of power. And much
can you do when you walk in the corridors of power. And RM1 billion a
year is nice to manage if you have that power to do so. And when you
walk in the corridors of power you would of course have that power.

《今日大马》要在这里提出一件事情，那就是登嘉楼州的石油采矿税的问题，我们同时也希望马哈蒂能够在7月28日针对这问题作出回应。自70年代以来，登嘉楼一直都能够在该州所有的石油开采利润中获得5%的开采税。这是在《石油开发法令》中给予的保护。实际上，不单是登嘉楼州，在马来西亚的任何州属如果有石油被开采出来的话，他们也会享有一样的保护。可是在2000年，这项采矿税被取消了，取而代之的是“赔偿金“（Wang Ehsan）突然间，登嘉楼州的石油和天然气盈利中的5%，那每年8亿令吉的钱，全部被转移出州外，落入了一个人的手中，他就是伊特利斯祖索（Idris Jusoh）。

马来西亚已经从日本脑炎（JE）的肆虐中复苏过来。可是登嘉楼却遭受到另一种日本脑炎的侵害，我们称它为Jusoh Enterprise（JE），伊特利斯的家族企业。这个JE或叫伊特利斯企业的集团，突然充满了资金，更准确地说，每年80亿令吉的资金。在2004 年，在阿都拉的领导下，登嘉楼从反对党手中被夺回了。可是登嘉楼并没有赢回那5%的石油税。“赔偿金“（Wang Ehsan）制度还是在继续着，而伊特利斯则继续一手遮天，掌管这笔钱。甚至连州经济发展机构State Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) 和登嘉楼州经济策划组Terengganu State Economic Planning Unit (UPENT) 也被丢空。伊特利斯一个人手握这一大笔钱，为所欲为。

可是这位新首相 - 阿都拉巴达威，可不能容忍一个人一手遮天掌管登嘉楼州的金库。他要伊特利斯把这一年80亿令吉的钱全部交出来。可是，如果恢复之前的5%石油税的话，州政府将会直接控制这笔钱，这就不是他们的目的了。他们要的是直接控制这笔8亿令吉的钱。现在这已经在首相署的控制中，只是转交到伊特利斯的手上吧了。他们需要做的是叫伊特利斯把钱吐出一半，让大家平分。

首相女婿凯里（Khairy Jamaluddin）兼顾问，想出了一个很伟大的“雨伞概念“，比马哈蒂的那套还要好的计划。他们要控制这个8亿令吉的年收入，可是同时他们直接把钱由伊特利斯手上抢走，因为这样会使得那笔钱又回到州政府手中，就像从煎盘中掉到火堆里去那样。他们要伊特利斯把嘴巴封上，不要过问他们打算如何来花这笔钱。

这就是他的做法，首先，他们先委任旺法立（Wan Farid），这条凯里的“走狗“，让他成为阿都拉的政治秘书。接着，他们委任旺希山（Wan Hisham） - 旺法立的哥哥，成为州行政议员，掌管旅游。然后，他们让林世杰（Patrick Lim）- 凯里的商业伙伴，垄断登嘉楼州所有的旅游计划。现在，整个网络已经完整，伊特利斯已经完全被排挤出去。

林世杰的工作就是制造出无数高昂的旅游计划。然后他会像旺希山提出这些旅游计划。旺希山跟着在把建议书交给他弟弟旺法立。旺法立接着在把计划书交给凯里。伊特利斯完全不在这个圈子内，当他知道这些计划书时生米已经煮成熟饭了。

他们用了一栋一百万的价格，建了30座度假屋在登嘉楼河的一个小岛上。他们用了3亿，兴办了一个叫“季候风杯“（Monsoon Cup）的风帆比赛。每年有成千上万的钱被花费来“吸引旅客到登嘉楼“。看来今年的赔偿金将会由8亿飙升到10亿，看来又有更多的钱可以玩了。

为了确保伊特利斯的手不会去碰这个钱箱，阿都拉亲自主持州议会的会议，虽然他是首相，可是他并不是州务大臣。当然，伊特利斯作为一位州务大臣，被允许跟着开会，虽然他不说出来，他心里明白他们的目的。林世杰虽然不是官员，可是他也被允许参与这些会议。

阿都拉会提议所有旺希山、旺法立和凯里提出的旅游计划。可是计划的细节不会被检讨，唯有一些大概和所需的费用会被说明。无论何时，只要伊特利斯提出问题，他会被告知：“让林世杰去处理吧，他知道怎么做。”伊特利斯对这细节满头雾水。

过了一阵子，伊特利斯忍无可忍，开始发作了。其中一份他完全一无所知的计划书，被摆在他面前。林世杰当时叫伊特利斯把他签了。可是，他要如何对一份自己一无所知的文件签字，而同时必须要对它负起责任呢？

林世杰走出伊特利斯的办公室，打了通电话给旺法立，在让旺法立去找凯里投诉。一个小时内，伊特利斯接到了阿都拉的电话，叫他把文件签了。当然，伊特利斯马上照做了。

林世杰对阿都拉拍马屁的行为都看在大家的眼里，可是伊特利斯却是后知后觉。有一天，阿都拉来到登嘉楼出席一个定期会议。这个会议当然是在检讨如何来花这个 8亿令吉了（由于油价上升，目前应该是10亿了）。伊特利斯开车去机场接待阿都拉，可是在他的车子要离开机场时，林世杰把车子切入伊特利斯的座驾前，挡着前面的去路。阿都拉马上从他的车子走出来，坐上林世杰的车。伊特利斯应该要明白，谁才是登嘉楼真正的主人。

是的！10亿是个天文数字。这笔钱应该属于登嘉楼的，可是却溜进了旺希山、旺法立、林世杰和凯里的手里。阿都拉主持州议会会议以便决定如何来花这笔钱，而旺希山、旺法立、林世杰和凯里帮他把这笔钱花完。伊特利斯不能过问这些钱是怎样花的。如果他拒绝签名的话马上会接到阿都拉的电话。

现在你了解了谁在运作这个国家吗？阿都拉说他才是掌管这个国家的人，不是他女婿。伊特利斯却会告诉你凯里才是掌管这个国家的人。凯里也同时也通过旺希山、旺法立和林世杰掌管登嘉楼和那每年10亿令吉的石油收入。为了凯里，阿都拉主持了登嘉楼州议会会议，以及依靠林世杰的想法，来花完这10亿。

现在你也了解了为何马哈蒂会这样生气了吧？他没有理由不生气。其实，如果是我也会生气。这就是为什么我支持老马继续把气发到阿都拉和他女婿身上。单单是登嘉楼州这件事已经可以让我气疯了，而其他人认为登嘉楼州事件不过是冰山一角吧了。

是的，走入权力走廊是很棒的感觉。而在权力走廊内，你可以做很多事。如果你有权力，每年10亿是很好管理的。而当你走入权力走廊当儿，你当然已经有了权力。
