LOSING THE BATTLE AND WINNING THE WAR




From day one when the Prime Minister as Finance Minister I , Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak ,  and Datuk Seri Haji Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah Finance Minister II found out that Injustice had been done( after Finance Minister II did extensive research into my case and found out that great Injustice had been done to me) and decided to correct it, the cards were stacked against me. Instead of doing a proper Settlement Agreement to return the building MARINARA to me, Danaharta’s lawyers Shook Lin & Bok insisted on a Sale and Purchase Agreement between Danaharta Hartanah Sdn Bhd and Hajjah Marina Yusoff. The original company Pekeliling Triangle Sdn Bhd was erased from record and memory. To date neither the original Special Administrators from Ernst and Young, Tan Eng Huat and two others, (who retired in December 2005) nor the so-called ‘Receivers” appointed in their place,  has ever made a proper  handover report or wound up the company. The Company seems to have disappeared into thin air. This is a clear cut case of abuse of power and non-accountability which should be looked into immediately after the General Elections by whichever party that  comes into power.

In the first “Sale and Purchase Agreement” which Shook Lin & Bok took their sweet time to prepare leaving me very little time raise the fund or sell the building. Despite that I managed to get Tabung Haji to agree to buy the building through the Minister Dato Jamil Khir. We shook on it.
I accordingly reported to Datuk Kamal of Danaharta that Tabung Haji had agreed to buy the building for RM300 million.  It seemed to shock them. Behind my back ‘Danaharta’ called Tabung Haji not to buy the building as it was ‘not in a good condition and they needed to ‘renovate it’. Thus the official letter which was supposed to confirm the agreement  turned out to be a letter that they did not wish to buy the building from me as they could go direct to Danaharta and buy it for only RM250 million.
Before I could get another buyer Danaharta started to demolish the apartments. I tried to stop them as my Arab buyer specially liked the apartments and wanted to buy the building with the apartments. All pleas not to demolish the Apartments were ignored. All my expensive furnishings and furniture were stolen. You can make a good guess who stole them.
When my potential buyers found out that the apartments had been demolished they withdrew from the scene. Other buyers were interested to see the building but were told it was under renovation and ‘ there is no CF to the buildin’g. The renovation and refurbishment was more than what they had intimated. The concept of “three in one” was completely destroyed and the ‘classic beauty’ of the building was destroyed.
Even though I was given another extension of time, it was frivolous as the “renovation” was still going on. When they got the CCC in October 2011 they gave me another three months extension. Being end of year and most top corporate leaders being on leave .  By the time they got round to make an offer , time had run out and no way would Danaharta extend the time. I had to write to Datuk Seri Najib and got an extension (it took a few months for the decision for the extension to be made).
 By the time I got the letter dated 12th October 2012 from Danaharta,  giving me until 31st  January 2013, they had already entered an Agreement with KP in Sept 2012 and gave an option to them to purchase the building. I ‘heard’ about the option but was unable to confirm as Danaharta refused to give me a copy of the Tenancy Agreement (until end of December  when it was too late) and KPJ deliberately kept very quiet and never responded to any of my calls, letters  or request to see them. When I asked them at the meeting at MOF on the 8th February 2013 why  they behaved that way they said they were advised by their lawyers to lie low and ignore me. What odd and dubious behavior! ( I note that the Tenancy Agreement was prepared by Shook Lin & Bok) I am surprised that KPJ which is such a big organization didn’t engage their own lawyers to do the Tenancy Agreement instead of relying on Danaharta’s lawyer. I suppose like me,  they had no choice in the matter.
After getting the Tenancy Agreements at the end of December 2012, I proceeded with my loan application to Bank Pembangunan for a loan of RM200 million to repay Danaharta. The Bank was very positive and helpful. Unfortunately one month was hardly enough time to complete the papers for Board  approval and I applied for extension of time for the Bank to complete the papers and submit for Board approval.
Thus the MOF kindly called a meeting of the three parties, Danaharta, KPJ and myself. At the meeting I was informed that KPJ had put in their option to purchase the building. No price or time frame was mentioned. KPJ said they were still waiting for the valuation report. I was told by KPJ that CH Williams was preparing the report. It reminded me of the earlier report by CH Williams prepared at the behest of Danaharta bringing down the value of the building to RM161 million to justify giving the building to Danaharta at that price. So now CH Williams is called again to ‘value’ the building. KPJ admitted at the meeting that they had received ‘verbal’ indication that the value would be around RM200 million or less which they would get ‘next week’. I wonder if ‘ Valuers’  are subjected to any code of ethics or can they make a valuation on a building and qualify themselves by saying they “ did not enter the building” (which was what they did in the earlier valuation).
 I am surprised KPJ put in a letter to exercise the option to buy without a confirmed price.  The normal procedure should be that the parties agree on a price before exercising the Option. In their zealousness to beat me to it and to deny me the extension for time they put in the incomplete Option. 

Now I have to wait for their ‘consent’ for extension of time in two weeks time,  which I doubt I will get.
I may have lost the Battle, but I know I have won the War by exposing the unethical and dubious practices , which I ask the next Government that comes into power to correct and impose strict ethics and procedure to show TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY not just for  GLCs but also all local Authorities and some Government Departments.

LETTER TO FADZLUR RAHMAN EBRAHEEM

HAJJAH MARINA YUSOFF



11th April 2011


Danaharta Hartanah Sdn Bhd
Tingkat 10, Bingaman Setia 1
15, Lorong Dungun, Bukit Damansara
50490, Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia

Attention: Fadzlur Rahman Ebraheem

Dear Sirs,
SABOTAGE CARRIED ON BY YOU ON SALE OF MARINARA

I refer to the Agreement dated 27 January 2011 between myself and Danaharta Hartanah Sdn Bhd which has expired on 31st March 2011.
Prior to that there was an earlier the first Agreement dated 7th July 2010 which gave me only three weeks to sell the building and repay the loan. Impossible as it may seem, I did secure a buyer, Tabung Haji . The Minister, the Managing Director and another Board Member was present when the Minister agreed to purchase the building at RM300 million. Even though the market value  was RM360 million , I agreed to the sale at RM300 million due to the constraint of time. Unfortunately after that, Tabung Haji communicated with you and you informed them that the property is registered in the name of Danaharta Hartanah Sdn Bhd and there was no need to purchase the building from me but to wait and go direct to you as you can give the building to them at RM250 million. Tabung Haji’s letter dated  12th July 2010 is clear evidence. Thus due to your interference the sale was aborted by Tabung Haji.

Despite that, as the Ministry of Finance gave me extension of time, I still kept on trying  to procure buyers for the building. As you have fixed a tight procedure to visit the building including to submit the names of the buyers, you planted your ‘agents’ to sabotage any deals and informed the buyers not to purchase the building from me but direct from you as you can sell the building to them at RM200 million. This was clearly evidenced when you held a Hari Raya Open House in Sept 2010 at the MARINARA BUILDING ( now renamed MENARA 238 by you). You invited about 300 guests where you held yourself out as the owner and openly offered the building to the visitors for RM200 million and /or to rent out the whole building. You have breached the terms of the Agreement with me when you held yourself out as the owner and completely disregarded the fact that that I was the beneficial owner and there was a valid Agreement between us.

Under your instructions, Prokhas illegally put up very big banners and posters to rent out the building whilst I was prevented from putting up posters. In the second Agreement I agreed for Danaharta Hartanah Sdn Bhd to rent out the building not Prokhas. No permission to Prokhas to rent out the building was ever given by me. When interested parties called Prokhas to find out the status of the building, your staff, Encik Khalid and Encik Solleh, clearly stated that the building belonged to Danaharta Hartanah Sdn Bhd (DHSB) as the title was registered in the name of DHSB and I had nothing to do with the building  and that the building was not for sale. I have many witnesses to this effect.

The latest interested buyer, three weeks ago, was told that the building is not worth more than 200 million. He was advised to see Jones Lang Wootten about the value. Jones Lang Wootten told him that the building was worth not more than 220 million but refused to put it in writing.

There is no point in my asking the Ministry of Finance for another extension of time on the Agreement as you will keep on sabotaging all my efforts. There has never been any goodwill or sincerity on your part. You pretended to follow the Finance Minister’s instructions but you indirectly sabotaged the instructions. This is a clear cut case of insubordination and undermining the Minister’s instructions.

To end this confrontation and as an amicable settlement, as you are so keen to keep the building, I suggest you purchase it from me at the market value of R360 million . After deducting the redemption sum of RM200 million, I would be agreeable to accept the difference sum of RM160 million from you. This is the only way out of this impasse. I suggest you accept it without further delay.

I am always open for discussions towards settlement but if I do not hear from you within two weeks from date hereof I will presume you are no longer interested to settle the matter amicably and I will instruct my solicitors to proceed with legal action against you and all the Board Members of Danaharta Hartanah and Prokhas and all the parties who have been instrumental in sabotaging the sale of the building.

Thank you.

Wassalam


Yours faithfully,





Hajjah Marina Yusoff

UPDATE ON MARINARA 7th September 2010



I have been out in the wilderness for the last few years since Sept 2006 when Danaharta took out an Injunction against me and ousted me and all my tenants and businesses from my building MARINARA ON JALAN TUN RAZAK.



Since then it has been an uphill battle all the way, deprived of all my belongings and personal possessions and documents which had been locked in the building (and later I found out were mostly stolen by the security guards, Falcon Security, who was in charge of the building when I left).



I started from scratch. and rented my sister’s apartment in Kg Warisan. As I had no means of income I decided to put my efforts in my housing project in Sri Manjung to try to generate some income to live on and to meet my financial commitments. As I am a workaholic (that’s what my son Razak says) I found no difficulty in doing hard work. Most of my time has been spent in Sri Manjung, whilst my fight for return of my building and for justice went on through the Courts. The lawyers for Danaharta and the Special Administrators, especially a Ms Yoong Sin Min of Shook Lin & Bok, went all out to get me as if it was her personal vendetta and special mission to destroy me. She went out for me tooth and nail and proceeded with all kinds of legal actions including committing me for contempt of court. With their lies and manipulation they won the day with the Courts especially as the Danaharta Act only favored Danaharta and deprived all those opposing, of any legal right to redress. There is no justice in the Danaharta Act. Danaharta has never lost a case despite all the wrongdoings and abuse of power.



I had almost given up hope when finally Datuk Haji Husni Hanadzlah, the Finance Minister II, took over from Nor Mohamed Yakcop, at the Finance Ministry. He carefully studied my case and brought it up to Finance Minister I, Datuk Seri Najib who agreed that I should be helped. After long and protracted discussions and negotiations, it was decided that I should be given back my building at a fair price. To get Danaharta to issue a letter to reflect the decision was one long hassle and one hurdle after another. All unnecessary restrictions were imposed on me including “not to say anything about the refurbishments but to accept it as part of the settlement process”. I was not allowed to visit the site or to bring visitors except under very strict conditions. By the time Danaharta’s lawyers, Shook Lin & Bok, had drawn up the settlement agreement which they insisted must be called a Sale & Purchase Agreement (as if I have never been the owner of the building) was drawn up and I was to refer to Danaharta Hartanah as the legal owners at all times, time had run out.



I have also been undergoing great stress with my daughter Ida Nerina ‘s spinal injury which has put her in a wheelchair. She is undergoing intensive therapy and works hard at her physio and hydra therapy. She is improving and God willing, with her strong will and determination, she will walk again



Unfortunately, last week as I was driving home along Jalan Ampang, I was robbed of my handbag when four young men, who looked like Malays in their twenties and thirties wearing red leather jackets, on two motorbikes smashed my left car window and grabbed my handbag which I had carelessly put on the left car seat. Both my hand phones were in the handbag including my personal identification and credit cards. So my friends if I don’t contact you its because I do not have your phone numbers. I wish the Authorities will seriously implement their earlier proposal to install CCTV cameras at all strategic locations especially at traffic jam areas and “popular handbag snatching locations.” Personal safety is a very serious problem and should be addressed immediately. How nice if we can walk the streets of Kuala Lumpur without fear of having our handbag snatched or the small kids kidnapped!



Thank God, now, with the blessings of the Finance Minister I , and the Finance Minister II, I am given an extension of time to get a buyer for the building. Given the constraint of time , I am trying o get a Bank Loan to pay off Danaharta. whilst trying to sell the building or part of it. It is not easy when your name is Marina Yusoff and the other party is Danaharta. God willing I will try to make it and try to sell the building and get on with my life . All are in God’s hands. Man proposes God disposes.



SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI TO ALL MY MUSLIM FRIENDS AND SEASONS GREETINGS TO ALL.

MAY GOD BLESS US ALL AND OUR BELOVED COUNTRY 1 MALAYSIA!



Marina Yusoff

Thursday, March 25, 2010




BACKGROUND OF MARINARA
On 2nd July 1983, Hajjah Marina Yusoff (HMY) formed the company Pekeliling Triangle Sdn Bhd.(PTSB) with the purpose of buying a piece of land to put up a building. Within five years she bought three pieces of land , merged it into one big real estate totaling 2 1/2 acres. Together with several architects and consultants she formulated the concept and built a 36 storey building consisting of commercial, office and luxury condominiums and named it MARINARA, and was assisted by Bank Negara, by giving her assistance in the form of a loan from the Entrepreneur’s Rehabilitation Fund (Tabung Pemulihan Usahawan - TPU) through ERF Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Bank Negara for RM 23 million to start the piling works. Bank Negara then arranged for a loan from Bank Bumiputra (M) Bhd totalling RM169,800,000.00 approved as follows:
(i) Term Loan I RM26,000,000.(only RM20 million was utilized)
(ii) Term Loan II RM 21,000,000 (only 17 million was used)
(iii) Bank Guarantee RM122,800,000.* (never called upon as the Contractor failed to complete the project)
The Tripartite Agreement ERF Sdn Bhd had given the Guarantee to pay all outstanding dues while the building remains uncompleted and unsold PTSB was given one year from date of completion to sell the building and settle the loans. According to the Agreement PTSB was allowed to sell only a portion of the building sufficient to settle the loans and may keep the rest of the building left unsold. But when Danaharta refused to allow HMY to sell portions of the building it created a major problem. All other developers were allowed to sell by units through Strata Titles but HMY was not allowed to do so. It was very difficult to sell such a big building to one buyer within a short time especially due to the many obstacles and sabotage by Prokhas and Duar Tuan Kiat (alleged Receiver appointed by Danaharta ) when Danaharta had officially closed down.
The Security Documents with the Bank are:
(i). Tripartite agreement between PTSB, BBMB dan ERF Sdn Bhd**
(iii). Charge
(iv). Debenture
(v). Assignment of Proceeds of Sale
(vi).Assignment of Serahak Bon Pelaksanaan
(vii).Guarantee joint and Several by the Directors:-
Marina bt Mohd Yusoff (HMY)
Ida Nerina bt Hussain
Razak Malique bin Hussain.
HMY and the Directors were the Principal Guarantors of the Loan and all the Bank facilities It was important to the Directors to ensure that the Building was completed and to repay the loan As long as the loan is not settled they are not entitled to apply for any other loan for other businesses. As they have been black listed in the Bank’s reference record to date.
*The Bank Guarantee given to the Contractor, Chase Perdana Berhad, Guarantees payment of RM122.77 million within 30 months which can only be called upon when the Certificate of Practical Completion is issued Despite the Extension of time given by the Architect, up to 28 February 1998, the Contractor failed to complete the building and incurred Liquidated and Ascertained Damages (LAD) up to RM77.5 million at the date when the contract was terminated on 3rd October 2002 payable to PTSB.

LOAN OF PTSB NOT IN THE CATEGORY OF NON PERFORMING LOAN
In 1999 , under the instructions of the Minister of Finance then, Daim Dzainuddin, all accounts of businesses of HMY,i.e. Pekeliling Triangle Sdn Bhd (PTSB) and Marina Sdn Bhd (MSB), were transferred to Danaharta and all the Bank Accounts of PTSB was immediately frozen even though it was an ongoing Project and NOT in the category of non performing loan. (NPL). Prior to this there was not a single letter of demand from the Bank or any other party as the Loans were not yet due.
As at the date of transfer to Danaharta, the actual loan taken out and utilized was only RM37,350,411.
Danaharta was not entitled to appoint a Special Administrator as the loan was not in the category of non performing loan (NPL) but without justification on the 15 October 2002, Danaharta Urus Sdn Bhd appointed Special Administrators for PTSB.
Thence began the obstacles to complete the project MARINARA as the Special Administrator had absolute over-riding powers empowered by the Danaharta Act, which could not be questioned in a Court of Law.
When Danaharta was declared to have closed down, on 9 th December 2005, the Special Administrators discharged themselves but they failed to observe the terms of the Danaharta Act 1998, particularly Section 44, because they failed to do a “workout proposal” and failed to prepare any statement of accounts and company records since 2002 to date.
There was no handing over of records to any party when they discharged themselves. On the same date Duar Tuan Kiat (Duar) was appointed as Manager and Receiver under the Debenture without any Order of Court. Even though there was no “default”. All the rights of the Directors of PTSB and HMY were ignored without any regard to the law.
Thus began the destruction of PTSB and HMY.
**The Tripartite Agreement was supposed to over-ride the Debenture as ERF had undertaken to pay all dues until the building was completed and sold within the period of one year of getting Certificate of Practical Completion”(.C.P.C.) This fact was deliberately ignored including by the Courts. (who had strict instructions to make sure that Danaharta does not loseany case in Court (during Fairuz’s time).

Settlement Agreement
Efforts to find a way out was made by Datuk Zukri Samat who proposed the Settlement Agreement dated 16.9.2004. The sum of RM122.7million was the agreed settlement sum agreed to by all parties and Danaharta. All factors had been taken into consideration including the failure of the contractor Chase Perdana Berhad to complete the building and that they still owed PTSB L.A.D. in the sum of RM 77.5 million..
Even though one of the duties of the S.A. was to assist in securing the loan to effect the settlement sum, as they had full control of PTSB and the accounts, they failed to do so and refused to give power to the directors of HMY to do so.
Despite that HMY proceeded to apply to Maybank to get a loan to effect the settlement and to save the building MARINARA. Every effort was made to get the loan from Maybank but was sabotaged by PRESIDIO INTERNATIONAL, a two dollar company from Singapore who threatened Maybank with legal action if the loan was given to PTSB alleging that they wanted to give the loan but in fact they were not able to give the loan.
On the encouragement of Datuk Zukri Samat, the Executive Director of Danaharta Urus Sdn Bhd at that time, HMY made every effort to complete the building through her construction company, MARINA SDN BHD (MSB), to get the Certificate of Occupation. As it was very difficult to secure a Bank loan, HMYSold all her assets including her family home to raise funds to complete the building MARINARA.
One of the conditions of Maybank to give a loan to PTSB was that “at least 50% of the building had to be or rented out or show some income“.
HMY succeeded to rent a portion of the building and was in the process of marketing the rest .Tan Seri Samy Velu also offered to help by asking JKR to rent the whole building as their temporary headquarters for several years while their headquarters were under construction, but the Minister of Finance 2, Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop, directed not to do so as he informed Datuk Samy Velu that they were “going to take a Court Injunction against HMY. “ letters from the Ministry of Finance were sent to several Government Institutions directing them “not to rent the Marinara building but to look for other alternatives”. It was obvious that the intention to take an Injunction against HMY and to chase her out of the building had already been planned and was under the instructions of Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop.
After Prokhas had taken over PTSB from Danaharta, HMY had gone to see the Managing Director, Fadzlur Abdul Rahman Ebrahim, in early 2006. He immediately demanded that HMY surrender the building MARINARA to him as he had received full mandate from Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop to do whatever he liked with the building. Several witnesses were at the meeting including the senior officers of Prokhas and two Chartered Accountants who had accompanied HMY, Wahab Sidek and Othman Shah.: “Better that you hand over the building to me,otherwise I will use the Danaharta act against you.” Were his exact words. HMY then informed him that the building MARINARA was already completed as agreed with Danaharta before. He replied, “ I don’t care what Danaharta did before”. HMY told him that she only wanted the redemption sum to enable her to arrange for a Bank loan for Marina Sdn Bhd to complete the purchase of the building as there was a Sale and Purchase Agreement between PTSB and MSB. He replied: ”the building is not ready yet! I want to take over and complete the building!” When HMY invited him to visit and inspect the building he refused to do so.
It all started on Mei 6th 2006, when a group of Directors from Ernst & Young and their workers, security guards and gangsters tried to take the building by force. without any authority to do so, but they did not succeed...
They then filed a Court action to take an Injunction against HMY to prevent her from entering the building but before the Court made the final decision, Duar and his agents encroached into the building and continued to sabotage all the work of HMY especially the marketing by telling the public that Duar was the rightful owner of the building and not HMY. They stopped people from entering the building. Duar also sent letters to potential buyers and tenants to stop them from buying or renting.
Erinford Injunction
Even though the Injunction had been granted on the morning of 15th September 2006 against HMY, preventing her from entering the building, but in the same evening HMY succeeded to get an Erinford Order which has the effect of putting the Injunction on hold. But Duar and his lawyers ignored the Erinford Order and continued to obstruct and harass HMY. Their security guards, Falcon Security had threatened the life of HMY if she continued to stay at the MARINARA building.
When they finally won the action on the Injunction in September 2007 , Duar closed down the building and terminated all activities in the building. Their security guards started by removing and stealing all the CCTV cameras and after that they cut and stole the electric cables in the building. A beautiful building was turned into a neglected building. It is on Jalan Tun Razak witnessed by all. Pictures of the theft and vandalism were sent to Prokhas but nothing was done.
Duar advertised several negative advertisements in all the major newspapers on MARINARA and HMY saying “the building is not safe, is not ready and does not have any Certificate of Occupation and warned anyone against entering the building. It was clearly intended to sabotage any marketing effort and to humiliate HMY.
After that they started the “tender” process by inviting offers for the building three times. It was not surprising that there were very poor response and no big companies responded to the tender. The offers that came in were very ridiculously low offers. All the buyers brought in by HMY from Saudi Arabia and other countries were ignored and not even allowed to view the building. During the third tender when Danaharta Hartanah tendered at RM165 million, they ignored other tenderers, made a valuation of the building by valuer C.H. Williams, who qualified by saying he “did not view the inside of the building” but valued it at only RM171 million (as opposed to the latest valuation of RM 430 million.) Duar allegedly “sold” it to Danaharta Hartanah at the price of RM171 million despite the fact that Prokhas asked for RM 202million as redemption sum from HMY. Fadzlur Rahman Ebrahim (relative of Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop) is a Director in Prokhas and Danaharta Hartanah. The real value of the building was RM430 million and the official valuation report had already been given to Duar and Prokhas.
Duar and Prokhas abused the Danaharta Act using section 66 and 72.
Duar acted against the interests of PTSB causing loss and irredeemable damage to PTSB and HMY. He chased out all the workers and closed down the office of MSB located on the 11th floor of the building despite being told that they were there to complete the works on the building.
Duar brought the case to Court by taking out an Injunction against HMY to prevent her from going to the building as soon as HMY had put in the final application for Certificate of Occupation. DBKL ultimately issued the Certificate of Completion on 9hb November 2007.
The act of closing down the building had caused extensive damage and loss to PTSB and HMY. It made the building deteriorate and reduced the value.
At present Duar is still proceeded with a case against HMY for contempt of Court.

SUMMARY OF WRONG DOINGS OF DUAR TUAN KIAT AND HIS AGENTS:
The actions of Duar has jeopardized the rights and image of HMY and PTSB which no amount of money can compensate for. There was no‘ transparency’ or responsibility in all their actions and decisions.
1. Marina Sdn Bhd was appointed by PTSB as a contractor since 5hb October 2002 and was given permission by Danaharta to continue with the work as a contractor from November 2004. to complete the building. HMY was given permission to market the building.
2. Other than completing the works at great expense, MSB had also cleaned and maintained the building well.
3. To date MSB had paid all the bills for all the works including electric, water, security guards, cleaners as well as paying all the deposits for the amenities. and to ensure that the services are continued. Unfortunately Duar made every effort to terminate the services and tried to get the deposits paid by MSB to be refunded to them. despite knowing there were tenants in the building.
4.. Duar’s agents particularly the security guards from Falcon Security created havoc and harassment to those who came to the building at the “shopping Complex” “Coffee Lobby” forcing the shops and coffee lobby to be closed down and MSB had to bear heavy losses and loss of income and rentals. MSB is still burdened with refunding the deposits to the tenants. Many tenants had spent hefty sums renovating their offices only to be chased out of the building

PRESENT SITUATION
All past directives by Dr Mahathir and Datuk Abdullah Ahmad Badawi have been ignored by Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop.
Datuk Seri Najib, in December 2008 had directed Fadzlur Rahman Ebraheem to assist HMY to resolve this matter but all directives have been blatantly ignored.
Now Danaharta Hartanah in the process of selling the building for their own profit and have ignored all the letters and proposals made by PTSB’s lawyers for the shareholders to buy back the building.

N.B. Dr. Mahathir, Datuk Abdullah and DaimDzainuddin all now bear the title Tun.

LATARBELAKANG MARINARA
Pada 2hb Julai 1983, Hajjah Marina Yusoff (HMY) telah tubuhkan syarikat Pekeliling Triangle Sdn Bhd.(PTSB) dengan tujuan membeli tanah dan bina bangunan. Dalam tempoh lima tahun beliau telah membeli tiga keping tanah dan mencantumkan menjadi satu tanah yang besar jumlah 2 1/2 ekar. Bersama dengan beberapa Arkitek dan Konsultant beliau telah reka dan membina 36 tingkat bangunan kommersial, pejabat dan kondominium mewah yang dinamakan MARINARA, telah diberi bantuan olih Bank Negara dengan mendapat pinjaman Tabung Pemulihan Usahawan (TPU) melalui ERF (Entrepreneur’s Rehabilitation Fund) sebanyak 23 juta untuk memulakan kerja cerucuk. Bank Negara telah mengaturkan pinjaman dengan Bank Bumiputra Sdn Bhd berjumlah RM169,800,000.00 yang diluluskan seperti berikut:
(i) Kemudahan Term Loan I RM26,000,000.(hanya RM20 juta digunakan)
(ii) Kemudahan Term Loan II RM 21,000,000 (hanya 17juta digunakan)
(iii) Kemudahan Bank Guarantee RM122,800,000.* (tidak digunakan kerana
kontraktor tidak siapkan bangunan dan Bank Guarantee ini tidak bolih dibayar)
Melalui Tripartite Agreement ERF juga telah memberi jaminan untuk membayar segala bayaran sementara bangunan belum siap dan di jual. PTSB di beri satu tahun dari tarikh bangunan disiap untuk dijual dan selesai hutang. Mengikut Perjanjian PTSB dibenar menjualkan sebahagian sahaja bangunan tersebut sekiranya ia mencukupi untuk selesaikan hutang dan menyimpan baki bangunan yang tidak dijual. Tetapi apabila Danaharta tidak membenar HMY menjual sebahagian daripada bangunan di sini lah timbul punca masaalah. Semua developer lain dibenar menjual melalui pecahan unit tetapi HMY tidak dibenarkan berbuat demikian. Memang sukar nak jual seluruh bangunan besar kepada satu pembeli dalam tempoh masa yang tersingkat dan dengan ada nya begitu banyak halangan dari Prokhas dan Duar.
Dokumen Securiti dengan Bank ialah:
(i). Perjanjian Tripartite antara PTSB, BBMB dan ERF Sdn Bhd**
(iii). Cagaran
(iv). Debentur
(v). Serahak Hasil Jualan
(vi). Serahak Bon Pelaksanaan
(vii). Jaminan bersama dan perpisah olih Pengarah Pengarah :-
Marina bt Mohd Yusoff (HMY)
Ida Nerina bt Hussain
Razak Malique bin Hussain.
HMY dan Pengarah Pengarah lain ada lah Penjamin utama Pinjaman
semua kemudahan Bank. Penting bagi mereka untuk memastikan bangunan
disiap dan dijual untuk membayar balik pinjaman. Selagi hutang ini tidak
selesai mereka tidak dapat membuat sebarang pinjaman Bank untuk perniagaan
lain kerana di masuk kan kedalam senarai hitam dalam rekod Bank sehingga
ke hari ini.
*Bank Guarantee yang diberi kepada kontraktor, Chase Perdana Berhad,
menjamin bayaran sebanyak RM122.77 million dalam tempoh 30 bulan dan
hanya bolih dibayar apabila Certificate of Practical Completion dikeluarkan olih
Akitek. Walaupun selepas lanjutan masa yang diberi olih Akitek tarikh
bangunan ini patut disiapkan ialah 28 Februari 1998 tetapi kontraktor tidak
menyiapkan bangunan dan dikenakan denda lewat (Liquidated and
Ascertained Damages) sebanyak RM77.5 million pada tarikh kontraknya
ditamat pada 3 October 2002 yang sepatutnya dibayar kepada PTSB.
PINJAMAN PTSB BUKAN DALAM KATEGORI LOAN TIDAK BERBAYAR.
Pada tahun 1999 atas arahan Menteri Kewangan semasa, Daim Dzainuddin,
semua akaun akaun perniagaan HMY,ia itu PTSB dan Marina Sdn Bhd (MSB),
telah di pindahkan kepada Danaharta dan semua akaun Bank PTSB dibeku serta
merta walaupun projek BELUM TERBENGKALAI dan bukan dalam kategori
pinjaman tidak berbaya.(NPL) dan sebelum ini tidak pernah ada apa apa surat
tuntutan hutang daripada Bank (kerana belum tiba masa membayar)atau mana
mana pihak.
Semasa tarikh pindah ke Danaharta, pinjaman pokok yang telah diguna
hanya RM37,350,411.
Danaharta tidak berhak melantik Pentadbir Khas kerana pinjaman bukan dalam
kategori pinjaman tidak berbayar (NPL) tetapi, tanpa sebab, pada 15 October
2002, Danaharta Urus Sdn Bhd melantik Pentadbir Khas untuk PTSB.
Disitulah bermula segala usaha dibuat untuk gagalkan projek MARINARA kerana
Pentadbir Khas mempunyai kuasa menyeluruh yang luar biasa dan mudah di
selewengkan dan disalahgunakan.
Apabila Danaharta di istihar tutup pada akhir tahun 2005, pada 9 December
2005 Pentadbir Khas telah melepaskan jawatan mereka, tetapi mereka
tidak memenuhi keperluan syarat syarat Akta Danaharta 1998, khususnya
Seksyen 44, kerana gagal menyediakan Cadangan (“workout proposal”) dan
langsung tidak menyediakan akaun akaun dan rekod rekod syarikat sejak 2002
sehingga ke hari ini. Tidak ada sebarang penyerahan rekod rekod kepada mana
mana pihak apabila mereka lepaskan jawatan. Pada tarikh yang sama
Danaharta melantik Duar Tuan Kiat (Duar) sebagai Pengurus dan Penerima atas
“Debenture” tanpa sebarang perintah Mahkamah, walaupun syarat syarat
Debenture tidak dipenuhi dan tidak ada sebarang “default”. Semua hak hak
PTSB dan HMY dan pengarah pengarah dan pemegang saham diketepikan
begitu sahaja. Disini lah bermula kehancuran PTSB dan HMY.
**Perjanjian Tripartite sepatutnya mengatasi Debentur kerana ERF
bertanggungjawab membayar semua yang perlu dibayar sehingga bangunan
siap dibina dan dijual dalam tempoh satu tahun selepas mendapat C.P.C.
(‘Certificate of Practical Completion”). Fakta ini sengaja diketepikan olih
mereka termasuk Mahkamah.
Perjanjian Penyelesaian
Usaha untuk cari jalan Penyelesaian telah dibuat olih Datuk Zukri Samat dengan
mencadangkan Perjanjian Penyelesaian bertarikh 16.9.2004. Jumlah RM122.7
juta (harga penyelesaian) dalam Perjanjian Penyelesaian telah dipersetujui olih
Danaharta dan semua pihak setelah mengambil kira semua factor termasuk
kegagalan kontraktor Chase Perdana Berhad menyiapkan bangunan dan masih
hutang RM 77.5 juta kepada PTSB.
Walaupun satu satunya tugas Pentadbir Khas ialah untuk berusaha
mendapatkan pinjaman olih kerana mereka berkuasa penuh atas syarikat dan
akaun akaun, tetapi mereka gagal berbuat demikian dan tidak memberi kuasa
sepenuh kepada HMY berbuat demikian. Walaubagaimana pun HMY terus
berusaha dengan Maybank untuk dapat pinjaman untuk menyelamatkan
bangunan MARINARA ini. Segala usaha untuk mendapatkan pinjaman dari
Maybank telah digagalkan olih beberapa pihak lain termasuk satu syarikat dari
Singapore PRESIDIO INTERNATIONAL yang halang Maybank dari memberi
pinjaman kepada PTSB.
Atas galakan Datuk Zukri Samat, Pengarah Eksekutif Danaharta semasa itu,
HMY berusaha melalui syarikat pembinaan nya, MARINA SDN BHD (MSB), untuk
siapkan bangunan dan mendapatkan Sijil Kelayakan.. Olih kerana sukar
mendapat pinjaman Bank, HMY telah menjual semua aset aset nya termasuk
rumah kediaman peribadinya nya untuk menampong perbelanjaan menyiapkan
bangunan MARINARA.
Satu satu daripada syarat Maybank untuk memberi pinjaman ialah PTSB mesti sewakan/jualkan sekurang kurangnya 50% ruang di dalam bangunan dan mesti menunjuk hasil. Akhirnya, HMY telah berjaya sewakan sebahagian bangunan dan masih dalam proses pemasaran. Tan Seri Samy Velu pun berususaha membantu dengan mengarah JKR menyewa seluruh bangunan MARINARA untuk dijadikan headquarters sementara selama beberapa tahun kerana headquaters mereka dalam pembinaan, tetapi Menteri Kewangan II Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop, telah mengarah nya jangan berbuat demikian atas alasan “mereka nak ambil Injunksi terhadap HMY” Surat dari Kementerian Kewangan juga telah dihantar kepada beberapa Insititusi Kerajaan dan mengarah mereka “jangan menyewa Bangunan Marinara tetapi cari alternatif lain”. Jelaslah disini bahawa angkara mengambil Injunksi dan halau HMY keluar dari bangunan ialah angkara dan arahan Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop.
Selepas Prokhas mengambil alih PTSB dari Danaharta, HMY telah pergi berjumpa Pengarah Urusan nya, Fadzlur Abdul Rahman Ebrahim, awal tahun 2006. Beliau segera mengarahkan HMY supaya serahkan saja bangun MARINARA kepada beliau kerana beliau telah mendapat mandate sepenuh dari Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop untuk berbuat apa saja dia suka dengan bangunan ini. Beberapa saksi pegawai pegawai kanan nya dan dua Chartered Accountant yang berada bersama HMY, Wahab Sidek dan Othman Shah mendengarnya: “Baik awak serahkan bangunan ini kepada saya, kalau tidak saya akan gunakan Akta Danaharta terhadap awak”. HMY beritahu dia bahawa bangunan MARINARA sudah pun siapkan seperti dipersetujui olih Danaharta sebelum ini. Dia menjawab “ Saya tak peduli apa Danaharta buat dulu”. HMY beritahu dia hanya perlu dapatkan redemption sum untuk mengatur pinjaman bagi pihak Marina Sdn Bhd untuk membeli bangunan ini dan sudah ada Perjanjian Jual Beli antara PTSB dan MSB. Jawabnya: ”Bangunan belum siap lagi! Saya nak ambil alih dan siapkan bangunan ini.” Bila HMY ajak dia melawat dan memeriksa bangunan dia enggan pergi.
Selepas itu, Duar (atas arahan Prokhas) telah tutup bangunan dan matikan segala aktiviti di MARINARA. Sekuriti guard dia telah bermula dengan mencuri semua CCTV camera dan selepas itu memotong dan mencuri kabel kabel letrik dalam bangunan. Bangunan yang cantik dan berfungsi menjadi suatu bangunan yang terbiar dan tidak berfungsi lagi. Ia terpampang di Jalan Tun Razak untuk disaksikan olih semua pihak (gambar gambar kecurian kabel ada untuk bukti).
Duar telah mengeluarkan Iklan Iklan memburuk kan bangunan MARINARA sepanjang tahun beberapa kali dengan besar- besaran dalam semua Akhbar utama, serta memburuk kan HMY dan mengatakan “bangunan ini tidak selamat, tidak siap dan tidak mempunyai sebarang Sijil Kelayakan dan semua orang dilarang memasuki nya, khususnya Hajjah Marina Yusoff” sengaja untuk menghina dan memalukan HMY.
Selepas itu proses “tender” dibuat sebanyak tig kali. Tak hairan lah tiada mana mana syarikat besar sanggup memasuki tender yang telah diadakan tiga kali dan harga harga yang ditawarkan begitu rendah. Semua pembeli pembeli yang dibawa olih HMY dari Saudi Arabia dan luar Negara diketepikan dan tidak dibenar tengok kedalam bangunan pun sebelum itu. Dalam tender kali yang ketiga apabila Danaharta Hartanah masuk tender mereka menerimanya dengan mudah dan membuat penilaian sebanyak RM171 juta olih Penilai C.H. Williams yang mengatakan dia tidak masuk bangunan pun untuk membuat penilaian!
Sekarang Duar dalam proses mengambil MARINARA untuk anak syarikat Danaharta, Hartanah Danaharta dengan harga RM171 million (Harga ‘redemption” yang Prokhas tuntut dari HMY ialah RM 202 juta). Fadzlur Rahman Ebrahim (saudara kepada Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop) adalah satu daripada Pengarahnya. Harga pasaran pada 2006 ialah RM 430 million dan Laporan Penilian ini telah pun diberi kepada Duar dan Prokhas.
Walaupun jelas Duar gagal dalam tugas tugas Berkanun tetapi masih
berselindung dibawah Akta Danaharta yang memberi kuasa luar biasa sehingga
timbul salahguna kuasa dan penyelewengan dari tujuan asal dan tidak keadilan
berlaku kerana Mahkamah terikat dengan seksyen 66 dan 72 Akta Danaharta.
Beliau bertindak menlulu menghancurkan syarikat PTSB dan HMY.
Mereka telah menghalau semua pekerja pekerja dan menutup pejabat MSB yang
masih dalam proses menyiapkan kerja dan mengendalikan bangunan.
Duar telah membawa kes ke Mahkamah terhadap HMY untuk menghalaunya
keluar sebaik saja HMY memasuki permohonan untuk mendapatkan Sijil
Kelayakan ke DBKL .Jelas Duar berniat jahat atau “mala fide” dan mengkhianati
segala usaha usaha HMY untuk menyiap, menyewa dan/atau menjual
bangunan tersebut. Duar berbohong ke Mahkamah bahawa HMY telah
mencerobohi memasuki dan duduki hartanah tersebut selepas beliau di lantik
walhal HMY berada di tapak bangunan atas site ofis sejak bangunan belum
di bina lagi
HMY berusaha telah cuba berunding dan meminta kerjasama dari Duar untuk
menyewa dan/atau menjual bangunan tetapi beliau enggan berbuat demikian
walaupun sebelum itu Datuk Zukri Samat, Pengarah Urusan Danaharta telah
memberi kebenaran untuk menyiapkan dan memasarkan bangunan dan segala
usaha telah diambil dan berjaya di buat olih HMY sebelum ini.
Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur telah puas hati dengan kerja kerja yang
telah disiapkan olih Pemohon dan telah mengeluarkan kelulusan Sijil
Kelayakan pada 9hb November 2007. Duar terus menghalau keluar semua penyewa dan penghuni yang terdiri daripada Diplomat daripada Kedutaan Saudi Arabia dan Oman dan peniaga peniaga berprofail tinggi. Tindakan menutup bangunan telah mengurangkan penarikan dan menjatuhkan nilai harga jualan bangunan.
Injunksi Erinford
Walaupun Perintah Injunksi telah diberi pada pagi 15th September 2006
terhadap HMY tetapi HMY telah berjaya mendapat Injunksi Erinford (yang
berkuasa menahan perintah Injunksi awal) yang dipohon pada petang hari yang
sama. Tetapi Duar tidak mempedulikan perintah Erinford dan terus
menganggu dan menggugut HMY sehingga security guard mereka Falcon
Sekurity telah mengugut membunuhnya sekira nya beliau duduk berterusan di
bangunan MARINARA.
Duar juga membawa kes menghina Mahkamah bertujuan memasuki HMY
kedalam penjara dan kes ini masih berterusan.Tindak tanduk Duar telah
menjejaskan hak hak dan imej HMY yang tidak boleh diganti dengan wang
ringgit dan merugikan syarikat PTSB yang berterusan.

Duar sengaja bertindak merugikan syarikat PTSB apabila menamatkan semua
penyewaan dan tutup bangunan. Sepatutnya Duar membenarkan PTSB
meneruskan penjanaan pendapatan untuk PTSB.
Danaharta dan Prokhas diuruskan oleh orang yang sama, Fadzlur
Rahman Ebrahim. Dia juga Pengarah dalam anak syarikat Danaharta Hartanah
yang dikatakan telah membeli bangunan ini. Pejabat Danaharta Urus Sdn Bhd
telah di ambil alih olih Prokhas Sdn Bhd.
Lembaga Pengarah dan Jawatankuasa Pengawas yang di peruntukan dalam Akta
Danaharta 1998 tidak ujud atau berfungsi lagi. Tidak ada ‘ transparency’ atau
tanggungjawab dalam semua keputusan yang di buat olih Prokhas yang masih
berselindung dibalakang Akta Danaharta apabila ada kes di Mahkamah
terhadapnya.
SALAHLAKU OLIH DUAR TUAN KIAT DAN AGEN AGEN NYA:
1. Marina Sdn Bhd telah dilantik oleh Syarikat Pekeliling Triangle Sdn Bhd
sebagai kontraktor sejak 5hb Oktober 2002 dan telah dibenarkan oleh
Danaharta pada bulan November 2004 untuk menyambung kembali tugas-
tugas sebagai kontraktor bagi memperbaiki kerosakan yang berlaku serta
menyiapkan Bangunan MARINARA seperti yang sepatutnya yang dikehendaki
oleh DBKL dan juga menjalankan program pemasaran.
2. Selain daripada menyiapkan kerja-kerja, MSB telah menjaga bangunan
MARINARA dengan sempurna dan telah mengeluarkan perbelanjaan yang
besar bagi menjaga “maintenance” bangunan sehingga mendapat C.P.C. dan
C.F. dari Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur.
3. Sehingga kini MSB telah membayar segala perbelanjaan untuk
menyiapkan bangunan serta “maintenance” bangunan MARINARA seperti
bil letrik, bil air, perkhidmatan sekuriti, bil pencuci bangunan malahan MSB
juga telah membayar deposit kepada SYABAS dan TNB bagi memastikan
bekalan air dan elektrik terus diberi tetapi malangnya Duar telah mengarahkan
kedua-dua badan tersebut supaya menutup akaun dan memotong bekalan.
Mereka meminta duit deposit yang telah dibayar oleh MSB dikembalikan kepada
mereka walaupun Duar mengetahui bahawa terdapat penyewa-penyewa pejabat
dan apartmen di dalam bangunan tersebut.
4. Bermula pada 6 haribulan Mei 2006, sekumpulan Pengarah-Pengarah dari
Syarikat Ernst & Young dan pekerja-pekerjanya berserta dengan
pegawai-pegawai keselamatannya telah cuba mengambil bangunan MARINARA
secara paksa daripada HMY tetapi mereka terpaksa meninggalkan
premises bangunan tersebut kerana mereka tidak dapat membuktikan apa-
apa dokumen.
5. Sejak itu, Duar serta agen-agennya telah mencerohoh bangunan dan
terus-menerus mensabotaj Plaintif dengan cara mengagalkan usaha
pemasaran yang telah dilakukan oleh MSB seperti menghebahkan kepada
orang ramai bahawa Duar adalah pemilik bangunan dan bukan HMY dan
menghalang orang ramai daripada memasuki bangunan, membuat iklan iklan
negative mengenai bangunan MARINARA di dalam akhbar akhbar utama, tidak
mengalakkan dan menakutkan orang ramai daripada menyewa bangunan
konon nya bangunan ini tidak mempunyai sijil layak memduduki dan
sebagainya.
6. Duar juga telah menghantar surat-surat kepada bakal bakal pembeli
dan penyewa bangunan yang berminat untuk membeli dan menyewa
bangunan dan akibat daripada itu, badan badan kerajaan yang pada awalnya
berminat untuk menyewa telah menarik balik niat mereka dan mencari
alternative lain. Kementerian Kewangan dibawah arahan Menteri Kewangan
II telah mengeluarkan surat arahan kepada badan badan kerajaan
mengarahkan mereka “ tidak dibenarkan menyewa bangunan MARINARA tetapi
mencari alternative lain.” Beberapa surat telah ditulis olih HMY kepada Menteri
Kewangan II Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop tetapi beliau tak peduli langsung.
7. Duar dan agen-agennya, khususnya , sekuriti guard Falcon, sentiasa
menimbulkan kekacauan dan gangguan diseluruh “shopping Complex” dan
“Coffee Lobby” bangunan yang telah mengakibatkan kedua-duanya terpaksa
ditutup dan MSB terpaksa menanggung kerugian dan pulang balik sewa sewa
dan deposit dan sehingga kehari ini masih berusaha untuk menyelesaikan
bakinya dengan Kedutaan Saudi dan Oman dan penyewa penyewa lain yang
telah banyak belanja mengubahsuaikan pejabat dalam bangunan MARINARA.
8. Duar dan agen-agennya telah (i) memotong, mencuri dan menyebabkan
kerosakan kepada kabel-kabel elektrik utama bangunan yang menyebabkan
bekalan elektrik terputus dan panghawa dingin dan saluran air tidak dapat
berfungsi dan dianggarkan kerugian berjuta-juta ringgit
(ii) Mencabut dan mencuri CCTV yang dipasang di tempat-tempat
tertentu di dalam dan disekitar bangunan.
(iii) Memotong bekalan air didalam bangunan semasa ada penghuni
(iv) menghalang orang ramai daripada meletakkan kereta mereka disekitar
bangunan. Tindak-tanduk Duar yang tersebut diatas telah mengakibatkan MSB
dan HMY terpaksa menanggung kerugian yang amat besar dan berterusan.
TERBARU
Duar Tuan Kiat, selaku Receiver yang di lantik olih Danaharta, telah meminta
penilian di buat dimana nilai dari RM30 juta telah di turunkan kepada RM171
juta dan dikatakan ‘telah di jual’ kepada Danaharta Hartanah yang juga di
kuasai olih FADZLUR RAHMAN EBRAHEEM.
Pihak Merina Yusoff dan semua pemegang saham Pekeliling Triangle Sdn Bhd
telah membuat tawaran sebanyak RM171 juta melalui peguam kepada mereka
tetapi langsung tidak di layan atau dijawab.(Salinan surat ini telah diberi kepada
Datuk Seri Najib sejak Disember 2008 dan beliau telah mengarah Fadzlur untuk
menolong Hajjah Marina Yusoff. Datuk Abdul Azim, atas arahan Najib, telah
berusaha tetapui sehingga kini tidak berjaya.
Mereka dalam proses menjual hartanah ini untuk mendapat keuntungan lebih
bagi diri mereka.
Pihak pemegang saham minta supaya bangunan ini di jual balek depada
Mereka dan beri masa yang cukup untuk aturkan kewangan. Surut persetujuan
dari Prokhas diperlukan untuk menggerak proses ini..
