Arul Kanda quarantined in Malaysia? Sg Besar performance suggests Arul is being managed,handled and cannot leave the country.



by Ganesh Sahathevan
In late March this year Arul Kanda said:
"I only signed up for one-third of what I ended up doing,,I did not sign up for the investigations because that happened after I joined, and I definitely didn’t sign up for the extent of the comms-slash-politics that I had to deal with.”


He then declared :
"From my perspective, I’m done...Everything’s signed. Legal agreements are there, they’re binding. I’m leaving the company".

Yet approximately 3 months later not only is Arul still in Malaysia, he is also being rolled out by UMNO /BN to help in an election campaign. That he was " invited to speak on national issues at an event organised by the Prime Minister's Department" suggests that he is being handled by the PM's Department. It further suggests that he is being quarantined in Malaysia.

It does appear as if there is considerable nervousness at the PMO as to what
might happen if Arul falls into the wrong hands,given that the other players in the 1 MDB debacle ; Jho Low, Casey Tang and Jasmine Loo are all out of the country and free to make whatever deals they wish with US and other regulators, including those in Singapore.

Arul Kanda goes to Sg Besar to clear the air on 1MDB
 Zikri Kamarulzaman Published Today 1:28 pm Updated Today 7:07 pm




SG BESAR POLLS 1MDB president and executive director Arul Kanda Kandasamy was in Sungai Besar today in an attempt to dispel the controversy surrounding the allegation-riddled firm.

He was invited to speak on national issues at an event organised by the Prime Minister's Department.

BN candidate Budiman Mohd Zohdi was also present, although the two did not share the stage.

Asked if he was here to campaign for the by-election, Arul Kanda declined to comment before leaving the venue.

During the question-and-answer session earlier, Arul Kanda denied that the goods and services tax (GST) as well as the RM2.6 billion donation into Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's personal accounts were linked to 1MDB.

"GST was not introduced to cover for 1MDB's debts.

"The auditor-general and the Public Accounts Committee have found no evidence which linked the RM2.6 billion donation to 1MDB," he said in response to questions from civil servants who attended the event.


Arul Kanda also urged the audience not to be fooled by the opposition, who were constantly attacking the government on 1MDB.



Meanwhile, the event's organisers denied that the talk was held to coincide with the Sungai Besar by-election.

They said they had been planning this for a while, and that today was the only date when all the speakers could attend.

Besides Arul Kanda, the other speakers were National Civic Bureau (BTN) chief Ibrahim Saad and police counter-terrorism senior assistant director Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.

Sydney is not Soweto, its Asian migrants are not coloureds, or persons of colour - South African Australian Judge Angus Morkel Stewart's decision in Faruqi v Hanson an insult to anyone who is not white

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan  In the recent Federal Court Australia decision in   Faruqi v Hanson   Mr Justice Angus Morkel Stewart (Stewart J)  found at [242]: I am comfortably satisfied that both groups of people in Australia that I have identified, being persons of colour who are migrants or of relatively recent migrant heritage and persons of colour who are Muslim, are reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to have been offended (ie profoundly and seriously), insulted, humiliated and intimidated by Senator (Pauline ) Hanson’s tweet. The case concerned   a tweet  that One Nation leader Pauline Hanson directed at  Deputy Greens leader Senator  Mehreen Faruqi. Mehreen is Pakistani Muslim who continues to advocate for Pakistan as a senator of the Senate, Parliament Of Australia.  Senator Hanson wrote in her tweet "piss off back to Pakistan" after Senator Faruqi commented on the death of Queen Elizabeth II. While Stewart J's has hand...

Ex NSW LPAB Executive Officer Louise Pritchard ,subject of queries from The Australian, hired by Sydney University since early 2019 -NSW LPAB has never explained her departure, UYSD the reasons for her appointment

Image
  by Ganesh Sahathevan  In January 2019 The Australian reported:  The body overseen by Chief Justice Tom Bathurst responsible for deciding who can practise law in NSW relied on a wildly defamatory Malaysian blog depicting ABC journalists, former British prime minister Tony Blair, financier George Soros and others as part of a global conspiracy when deciding to deny a would-be solicitor a certificate to practise. Chief Justice Bathurst and Legal Practitioner Admission Board executive officer Louise Pritchard declined to answer The Australian’s questions about how the article came into the board’s hands and why its members felt the conspiracy-laden material could be relied upon as part of a decision to deny Sydney man Ganesh Sahathevan admission as a lawyer. Nor would either say which of the 10 members of the LPAB, three of whom are serving NSW Supreme Court judges, was on the deciding panel. Ms Pritchard has left her role at the LPAB since The Australian began making inqui...

Strata managers' aversion to contact with tenants can leave strata managers exposed to personal liability

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Advice for living in, or buying into, a strata community Strata managers are employed to manage strata schemes which are often home to renters as well as owners. However, in evasion of that which they are paid to do there are instances where strata managers have attempted  to evade their duties by refusing to  deal with tenants.   Even this writer can recall an instance where the strata manager warned that it was against the law for tenants to contact him directly.  The instances where strata managers have refused to deal with tenants occur when the issues raised concern fairly pedestrian maintenance issues, for example blocked plumbing and the like. Having said that, tenants do actually have a legal right to a great many things, including being informed (and presumably make representations) when strata schemes consider re-development. Strata managers who seek to stand in place of strata committees  are even more e...
