Zaid may be made full-blown Law Minister
KUALA LUMPUR: De facto law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim may soon become a full-blown Law Minister with all the requisite authority and responsibility to help him effect legal reform.
“When we talk about reform, people think about the Judicial Appointments Commission only, but it is more than that -- there is a whole gamut of things that needs to be done as well.
“It is for this reason I have informed the Prime Minister, and Cabinet has agreed that there are reforms we need to take.
“In fact, my own position will be reviewed to Minister of Law to give me more authority but that will take time. You can’t have responsibility without authority,” he said Tuesday during a press conference after he officiated at Suhakam’s Human Rights Day public forum themed “Human Rights and Administration of Juvenile Justice” at a hotel here.
“When you want to effect change you need to coordinate and re-organise. For example, if you want magistrates to be re-trained today I can’t do much about it. I will have to go to the Judicial and Legal Commission.
“If I want to do anything involving children, I will have to talk to the Women and Family Development Minister.
“The difference between the past and now is that hopefully I will have more opportunity to bring change.”
Referring to a former President of the Court of Appeal who had referred to the minister with his portfolio in 2000 as being “in charge of table and chairs,” Zaid added:
“If I can’t do something I will say so. I hope with more refined authority, with an elevated position, a clearly defined portfolio and authority, perhaps I will help overcome some of the problems encountered.”

PDC lodges report against Ahmad and former company
BALIK PULAU: The Penang Development Corporation (PDC) has lodged reports with the police and Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) over alleged misappropriation of funds involving former senator Datuk Ahmad Ismailand the now-defunct company Popular Profile Sdn Bhd (PPSB).
PDC legal adviser Zainun Abdul Rahman made the police report at the Bayan Lepas police station on Wednesday.
Zainun, who spent more than four hours at the station, was escorted out by a police officer and only spoke briefly to the press.
“I am here acting on the instructions of the Chief Minister who is also the PDC chairman,” she said.
She declined to divulge details of the report but said that most people had already “read about it (the case) in the newspaper”.
When contacted, PDC general manager Datuk Rosli Jaafar also confirmed that an ACA complaint had been made on Wednesday afternoon.
“We are leaving it up to the police and ACA to investigate the matter,” he said.
State deputy police chief Senior Asst Comm (I) Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid confirmed a police report had been lodged but declined to elaborate as investigations were pending.
On Tuesday, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the state would lodge a police report and ACA complaint over a RM500,000 loss of state funds in a 1997 PDC land deal in Bukit Minyak.
He said the deal had fallen through after PPSB, of which Ahmad was then a director, had failed to come up with the purchase price of RM5.5mil.
Half of the down payment or RM554,000 was returned to the company while the other half was confiscated by PDC.
Lim said PPSB had failed to transfer the money to deal financer Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Bhd who was holding the land title which resulted in PDC having to fork out an additional RM500,000 to regain the rights.
PPSB wound up in 2005 and Ahmad, who is currently under investigation for allegedly uttering seditious racists remarks, is believed to have broken off all affiliation with the company in 1998.

Kow, Sheah battle for state Youth seat
PETALING JAYA: Two Selangor MCA division youth chiefs – Sheah Kok Fah and Dr Kow Cheong Wei – look set to battle it out for the state Youth chief post this Saturday .
Sheah, who is Petaling Jaya Selatan Youth chairman, said 21 of the 22 divisions in the state were backing him for the post of state Youth chief.
“After a few rounds of negotiation with 21 of the 22 divisions in the state, the movement has reached a consensus for the candidates for all the posts in the state Youth committee,” he said.
However, his opponent Dr Kow, who is Puchong Youth chief, is not giving up despite what looks like a near-impossible task, saying he's been in this position before.
“Three years ago, I became the only candidate who was not mentioned in the line-up to win the state Youth secretary post.
“I am confident that history will repeat itself with the hard work I have put in all these years, by going to the ground and understanding the needs of the party grassroots,” he said.
Dr Kow defeated his opponent Datuk Theng Bok by a majority of 275 votes in the state election three years ago.
Sheah, when announcing the line-up at a dinner recently, said the group supported incumbent Selangor MCA Youth vice-chairman Ching Eu Boon to contest for the wing’s deputy chairman post.
“For the four vice-chairmen, we suggested Petaling Jaya Youth chief Lee You Hin, Ampang Youth chief Tan Kok Hor, Kapar Youth chief Lee Chee Chun and Kuala Selangor Youth chief Low Ah Keong,” he said.
The dinner was attended by 21 state division Youth chiefs and their supporters.
According to the list, Kuala Langat Youth chief Tew Boon Chin was to be the secretary with Selayang deputy Youth chief Chan Wun Hoong as deputy secretary.
The group also proposed Kota Raja Youth chief Looi Eng Wah for the treasurer post and Subang Youth chief Ng Kok Kiang as auditor.
