So, instead of editing an viewable wrong, some-more open supports were piled in to a plan to cover it up as well as this decision could usually have been authorized by a Fourth Floor. The decision to do so was so hush-hush as well as a cover up so brilliantly successful which even YB Lim Kit Siang did not get a sniff of a stink emanating from Putrajaya.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Hakim Joe
Not most Malaysians have heard of 9Bio let alone know what this association is all about though what they should know is ! which it is a unconditionally supervision owned association which has misused, wasted as well as siphoned divided open supports equivalent to a cost of erecting a Petronas Twin Towers.
Ninebio Sdn. Bhd. or 9Bio was launched as well as conceptualized by a afterwards Minister of Health, Dr. Chua Soi Lek (aka Pornstar), in 2003 though did not embrace central supervision permit as a National Project until September 2006 when a budget of RM350 million underneath a 9th Malaysian Plan (9MP) was quick tracked as well as infused in to a association to emanate an sourroundings whereby research as well as development of halal vaccines will eventually lead to a mass production of such medicinal products for a Islamic world, making Malaysia a hub of halal vaccine R&D as well as production worldwide.
Good intentions, glorious conceptual marketing, abundant of supports to flog begin a project, officially sanctioned by a Malaysian Government as well as ably managed by a organisation of healing professionals. What could po! ssibly g o terribly wrong?
Well, zero because zero substantial was achieved during a successive five years except for a changing of its association name from 9Bio to a Malaysian National Institute for Natural Products, Vaccines as well as Biologicals, signing a JV agreement with Emergent ! Bio Solu tions Inc. of a US, removing a capitulation of a Organization of a Islamic Conference (OIC) as a key center for halal vaccinations, as well as a tiny issue of a check submitted by Ekovest-Faber Sdn. Bhd. (a 60%-40% JV association owned by Ekovest Berhad as well as Faber Group Berhad) to a Government for RM1.9 billion in their capacity as a warden executive for a design, construction, completion as well as upkeep of a research as well as development trickery upon a 784 acre plot in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan (called a Enstek Park).
Inflation functions wonders generally in this partial of a world.
Apparently 9Bio started off with usually one particular - Datuk Dr. Nor Shahidah Khairullah from a Malaysian Ministry of Health who was seconded from a MOH to become a pioneering CEO of 9Bio in January 2007 (with a RM45,000 monthly salary) as well as zero strange was detected until a Jabatan Audit Negara (JAN) reported differently in their 2008 Auditor General's Report, temperament similarities to a National Feedlot Center case. In a report, a AG accounted failures, mismanagement, weaknesses, false claims as well as monetary irregularities upon a partial of 9Bio's CEO as well as a special MOF Tribunal was convened to investigate these commentary by a Auditor General.
Part of a AG's commentary additionally stated, "Datuk Dr. Nor Shahidah binti Khairullah had intentionally: (1) Transferred income from Company's comment in a form of payments to her personal Credit Card comment for a totaled total of RM108,747.60 (USD8,000, GBP6,000, EURO7,700); (2) Transferred income from Company's comment in a form of Traveler's C! heque un der her personal name for a totaled total of RM21,484.10; (3) Transferred income from Company's comment in a form of Bankers Cheque underneath her personal name for a totaled total of RM128,648.40; as well as (4) Transferred income from Company's comment in a form of Cash via Cash Cheques for a totaled total of RM208,979.80."
The Auditor General additionally recommended whic! h "Datuk Dr. Nor Shahidah should be found guilty for criminal breach of trust (CBT) as well as intrigue when she purposely as well as intentionally siphoned Company's income for a totaled total of RM467,859.90 though a capitulation of a house of directors."
Dr. Shahidah did not possess grant blanche when acting upon interest of 9Bio as Dato' Sri Dr. Mohd. Nasir (MOH Secretary-General) was a 9Bio Chairman as well as a house of directors enclosed Tan Sri Dr. Ismail Merican (MOH Director-General) as well as Datuk Ir. Dr. M.S. Pillay (MOH Deputy DG). How was it afterwards possible for Dr. Shahidah to give auth! orizatio n (for anything to be finished which is above a reduction order) though house capitulation unless it was actually authorized by a house of directors?
One. Dr. Shahidah authorized a full payment of RM4.1 million consultation fees to Frost & Sullivan, a expert allocated by 9Bio to prepare a working paper for a due production as well as routine carry out of a new 9Bio trickery in Nilai, even before a single square of A4 paper was finished by a consultancy organisation during a quoted cost of RM3.9 million.
Two. The appointment of Frost & Sullivan was finished usually after twelve months of loitering by a CEO as well as a house of directors. 9Bio has failed to contention its business plan to possibly a MOH or MOF since its pregnancy though association annals showed which Dr. Shahidah has already collected RM540,000 in wages as well as has 52 days of paid leave by a first year upon a job.
During a successive MOF Tribunal, Dr. Shahidah argued greatly which JAN had no right or executive payoff to subject her alleged extreme transport losses as it was lonesome by a special Research as well as Development grant as well as not by 9Bio. Dr. Shahidah additionally claimed which before capitulation was since by a Ministry of Health's Director General, Tan Sri Dr. Ismail Merican, for her to transport to Germany as well as Switzerland. When questioned as to because she was accompanie! d by a ( male) expert from a opposite association (Mr. Julian Ding of First
Principles Sdn Bhd) upon a trip, Dr. Shahidah stated which she needed a expert for counts relating to a special plan negotiation with Emergent Bio Solutions Inc. When questioned serve as to a reasons because she had 9Bio compensate for a consultant's transport losses when a 9Bio is already paying First Principles RM1.2 million in consultation fees, Dr. Shahidah finally certified which she had privately authorized it though before obtaining authorization from a 9Bio Board of Directors.
Datuk Dr. Nor Shahidah was subsequently terminated as a CEO of 9Bio as well as a military inform was done with a PDRM as well as nonetheless an additional inform with a ACA. When Dr. Shahidah was sacked from 9Bio in May 2008, thirty other 9Bio staff resigned voluntarily from a association as well as (coincidentally) joined Ekovest-Faber.
One subject because Dr. Shahidah, a comparatively different researcher/doctor from a MOH, was specially selected from a organisation of improved qualified as well as distant some-more gifted candidates to head 9Bio as well as how she could have accomplished a things (as reported in a 2008 Auditor General's Report) she attempted within sixteen months as a CEO of 9Bio. Additionally, because was a Director General of a Ministry of Health (Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Hj. Mohd. Ismail Merican), a Deputy DG (Datuk Ir. Dr. Mukundan Sugunan Pillay), as well as a Secretary General (KSU) of a MOH (Dato' Sri Dr. Hj. Mohd. Nasir Bin Mohd. Ashraf), as a determining officer, all protecting as well as covering up for her?
After a departure of Dr. Shahidah from 9Bio, a MOF motionless to take carry out of a plan (from a MOH) as well as allocated Prof. Dr. Mohd. Azmi Mohd. Lila to become a new CEO of 9Bio. Datuk Ir. Dr. M.S. Pillay was afterwards allocated as a Chairman of 9Bio after timid from a MOH, a first non-medical (engineer) particular to rise to a number dual post in a MOH.
What influence as well as carry out did Dr. ! Shahidah hold over a three men, even to a extent which Tan Sri Dr. Ismail Merican reappointed her as a expert to a MOH to manipulate 9Bio's squeeze of specialized healing production equipment, irrespective of a on-going PDRM as well as ACA investigations as well as regardless of a damning inform by a Auditor-General, as well as for Dato' Sri Dr. Mohd. Nasir (9Bio's Chairman) as well as Datuk Ir. Dr. M.S. Pillay (9Bio's Executive Director) to agree to this appointment?
It was during this tra! nsitiona l duration which Ekovest-Faber strike a MOF with a RM1.9 billion bill. Included with a invoices were 6 Variation Orders (VO) authorized by Dr. Shahidah. So, instead of attempting to establish a basement for a super-duper inflated cost to build a 9Bio facility, a supervision motionless to brush it all underneath a self-evident carpet as well as compensate a asking cost instead. What's a integrate of billion between friends anyway? Additionally a MOH was usually slowly usually recovering from its Minister's access of being a porn luminary as well as a sovereign elections being around a dilemma did not assistance either. The Abdullah supervision was additionally endangered by a arriving PKFTZ liaison in which quite a couple of Tun(s) were concerned as well as how a accumulation of these losses of open supports could be unpropitious to his supervision seeking an additional 5-year charge from a people.
So, instead of editing an viewable wrong, some-more open supports were piled in to a plan to cover it up as well as this decision could usually have been authorized by a Fourth Floor. The decision to do so was so hush-hush as well as a cover up so brilliantly successful which even YB
Lim Kit Siang did not get a sniff of a stink emanating from Putrajaya.
Another thing which was not reported in a AG Report was which when Dato' Sri Dr. Mohd. Nasir became a 9Bio chairman, one of a first things he did was to approve a let for temporary office space during Metropolitan Square in Damansara Perdana until a 9B! io facil ities in Nilai were completed. It was afterwards reported which 9Bio's let (for dual floors) amounted to RM61,193 a month as well as which an additional RM2 million were spent renovating it (renovation contract awarded to Environ Ventures Sdn. Bhd. by Hotel Ninety Six from
Melaka). Hotel Ninety Six?
Questions remained unanswered as well as to this day, Dr. Shahidah remains giveaway as both PDRM as well as MACC has nonetheless to complete their particular investigations. Could a Gang of Four someway have managed to get divided with it?
