Desmond and Cindy: new crony kings?FRI 2010-OCT-1 @ +08 15:09:49 PM
The new king crony in Putrajaya, according to a new blog, is Desmond Lim of property developers Malton Bhd and the man behind the Pavilion luxury shopping centre in Bukit Bintang, KL.
Desmond Lim has been linked in the press recently with the proposed redevelopment of RMAF Sg Besi, the city’s old international airport and currently an air force base. Raja Petra Kamarudin recently linked Desmond Lim and his wife Cindy in rivalry with Tan Kay Hock of Johan Holdings for the ears of the prime minister over several big government projects. RPK said Desmond and Cindy were close to Najib Tun Razak’s wife Rosmah, and had been behind a railway purchase of electric train sets. Tan Kay Hock was linked to China Harbour Engineering, from whom he is alleged to have tried to squeeze a RM200 million commission, and the Gemas-JB double-tracking rail project which RPK said had been awarded to China Road Engineering. The new blog at «perkara153.blogspot.com» (a reference to Article 153 of the Constitution, which provides for safeguarding the “special position” of the Malay community and natives of East Malaysia, and the rights of other communities). The blog calls itself Suara Keadilian Pribumi, and its owner, Jeremy Piven, emailed uppercaise to provide some details of his inaugural posting, a sketchy account of Desmond Lim’s dealings with Putrajaya. He promised to reveal more, especially about “GA__D_ “. Watch his space, he said.
RMAF Sg Besi looks like a done deal The air force has asked that parts of RMAF Sg Besi’s terminal and runway be preserved for historical reasons, according to a Bernama report. Defence minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said: “The RMAF acknowledges the [Cabinet] decision and is ready to move to a new location… But ideally we propose that the terminal and runway to be preserved as much as possible. However, all quarters must accept the fact that nostalgia was not enough to upkeep heritage.” The new air base site in the Klang Valley has yet to be finalised and approved by the Economic Planning Unit.
