‘Clear the air on hotel demolition job'
Published on: Thu, Jul 03, 2025
By: Sohan Das Text Size: Wong hoped that the MACC would do an inclusive investigation to avoid similar situations happening here. LABUAN: Labuan Chinese Chamber of Commerce Chairman Datuk Wong Kii Yii said the relevant ministry or agency should clear the air on the tender process for the demolition of the derelict Hotel Labuan since a local contractor had lodged a report on alleged irregularities and possible political interference in the process. Adding that the contractor took the right step in reporting the complaint to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Wong said: 'It is puzzling why a qualified local contractor with all the required necessary CIDB (Construction Industry Development Board) certification and licence and submitted a lower bid for the job was sidelined. 'Preference was given to an outsider and this has sparked grave concern over the treatment of local contractors.' Subscribe or LOG IN to access this article.

Sure or not: Penang rebukes tourism survey, cites official hotel data to prove it has more tourist visits than Perak
GEORGE TOWN: Penang has strongly refuted findings from a recent Statistics Malaysia Department report that the state trailed Perak in attracting domestic tourists in 2024, citing official hotel stay data that paints a far different picture. State tourism committee chairman Wong Hon Wai said that the 'Domestic Tourism Survey 2024' released by the department was a sample-based study and not a reflection of actual tourism figures. 'The survey is based on sampling and questionnaire feedback, not actual hotel records,' Wong said in a statement. 'While this method is widely used in research, its accuracy hinges on the sample size and how well it represents the population', he said. According to Wong, only 204 Enumeration Blocks were sampled in Penang out of 2,819 nationwide — a figure he said was too small to draw meaningful conclusions about the state's tourism performance. 'Such a limited sample cannot reflect the true strength of Penang's tourism sector,' he said. Wong instead cited Tourism Malaysia's official hotel statistics that showed Penang recorded 5.2 million domestic tourists and three million international tourists in 2024, totalling over 8.2 million hotel guests. In contrast, he said, Perak only recorded about 4.18 million domestic hotel stays. He also questioned the survey's methodology, adding that respondents were household members asked to recall trips over the past year — a process he described as 'retrospective and highly subjective.' 'The survey was not conducted at airports, hotels, or tourist attractions but through household interviews, which is unsuitable for high-impact destinations like Penang,' Wong said. He further criticised the inclusion of day-trippers—who made up 66.8% of respondents—as skewing the data. Many, he noted, were likely returning to their hometowns during festive seasons like Hari Raya, which does not constitute tourism in the economic sense. 'These visitors typically don't stay overnight, spend less, and have limited direct economic impact,' he said. 'This distorts the picture, especially for states with more premium tourism offerings.' While acknowledging that Statistics Malaysia Department's survey may offer some insight into travel trends, Wong said it should not be used to assess tourism performance, particularly in states with strong hotel and hospitality industries. 'The data we should trust is the actual records of hotel stays and tourism receipts, which clearly show Penang's continued strength as one of Malaysia's top travel destinations,' he added.

MACC nabs 'Datuk' for allegedly laundering millions of ringgit
PETALING JAYA: A company director with the title of Datuk has been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for allegedly laundering millions of ringgit. The suspect, who is in his 50s, was arrested as part of a probe into money laundering activities amounting to around RM75mil. The director was arrested on Wednesday (July 2) after he presented himself at the MACC headquarters. He was then remanded on Thursday (July 3) for four days until July 6. "The suspect is believed to have committed the act in 2012 for the approval of a RM400mil loan for a fibre network development project. "Initial investigations believe that RM75mil was channeled to a company owned by the suspect," sources said. The arrest was a part of follow up actions under Ops Fibre. On June 30, the MACC had raided four locations in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur that belonged to the suspect. "The MACC has also frozen 12 bank accounts, both personal and corporate, worth around RM400,000," the source added. MACC Special Operations Division senior director Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin confirmed the arrest when contacted, adding that investigations were being conducted under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (AMLATFPUAA) 2001.

Court declares Jovian Mandagie bankrupt over failure to repay RM5.28 million loan
Published on: Thursday, July 03, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jul 03, 2025 By: FMT Reporters Text Size: Jovian Mandagie was previously married to former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob's daughter, Nina Sabrina, before their divorce in 2023. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA: Fashion designer Jovian Mandagie has been declared bankrupt by the High Court in Kuala Lumpur after failing to repay a friendly loan totalling RM5.28 million from a construction company. According to Berita Harian, senior assistant registrar Faisal Zulkifli today allowed a creditor's petition filed by Cekap Air Sdn Bhd. Based on the petition, filed on Nov 20 last year, Jovian, the former son-in-law of ex-prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, failed to comply with a bankruptcy notice dated May 21, 2024. The petition stated that Jovian owed Cekap Air RM5,284,340.66, including interest up to May 21, 2024, following a summary judgment granted by the High Court on April 2 the same year in a civil suit. Cekap Air's lawyer, Siti Nur Athirazatti Rohizad, said the company filed the bankruptcy notice after Jovian failed to comply with the summary judgment issued by the court. 'Jovian filed applications to stay and set aside both the notice and petition, but all were dismissed by the court,' she said. On May 16, 2023, Cekap Air filed a lawsuit against Jovian for allegedly failing to repay the loan, which had been extended as a friendly loan. In its statement of claim, the company said that Jovian was an acquaintance of Cekap Air's director, Yong Zhen Wei. The company claimed it loaned Jovian the funds at his verbal request on Feb 25, 2022, and transferred the money to his law firm's client's account. Jovian's appeal against the summary judgment is scheduled to be heard on Sept 15. Jovian was questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in its probe into Ismail's asset declaration. He was previously married to Ismail's daughter, Nina Sabrina, before their divorce in 2023. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
