Naza mahu bina kilang pemasangan Chevrolet di Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR 16 Jan. - Kumpulan Naza sedang menimbang tawaran beberapa kerajaan negeri yang menawarkan lokasi untuk menempatkan kilang pemasangan kereta syarikat konglomerat itu.

Pengerusi Eksekutif dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Bersama Kumpulan Naza, Datuk SM Faisal SM Nasimuddin berkata, tawaran itu sedang dipertimbangkan dalam usahanya mengembangkan perniagaan terutamanya mendirikan kilang pemasangan.

Beliau, bagaimanapun enggan menamakan kerajaan-kerajaan negeri terbabit.

Utusan Malaysia difahamkan Kerajaan Melaka turut menyatakan kesediaannya untuk membantu Kumpulan Naza menempatkan kilang pemasangan kereta terbaharunya setelah berjaya memikat pengeluar kereta Honda beroperasi di sana.

Difahamkan tawaran itu belum mempunyai kata putus kerana, SM Faisal juga dikatakan masih menilai beberapa buah lokasi lain yang dilihat kompetitif, efisien dan berdaya maju untuk sebuah kilang baru.

Menurut SM Faisal, pembinaan sebuah kilang baharu dikatakan memerlukan pelaburan RM400 juta termasuk kos bangunan, tanah, peralatan dan kos-kos lain.

"Perancangan pembinaan kilang baharu itu bertujuan untuk memasang kereta Chevrolet selepas Kumpulan Naza menerusi anak syarikatnya, Naza Quest Sdn. Bhd., menjadi pengedar tunggal kereta-kereta Chevrolet di negara ini," kata beliau kepada Utusan Malaysia di sini.

Berikutan kejayaan mendapat hak pengedaran kereta Chevrolet di negara ini dari General Motor Corp. (GM) Amerika Syarikat (AS), Naza bercadang untuk membina sebuah kilang pemasangan kereta itu di Malaysia.

Ketika ini, Kumpulan Naza memilik sebuah kilang pemasangan kereta di Gurun Kedah yang memasang kereta jenama Kia dan Peugeot dengan kapasiti pengeluaran kira-kira 50,000 buah setahun.

Selain itu, Kumpulan Naza turut memiliki sebidang tanah di Bertam Pulau Pinang yang disasarkan untuk menempatkan sebuah kilang pemasangan yang belum dibangunkan.

Menurut SM Faisal, pihaknya merancang memasang model Chevrolet Cruze dalam tahun ini secara pemasangan komponen secara terurai (CKD) dengan kemungkinan menggunakan kemudahan kilangnya di Gurun.

Ditanya bilakah keputusan akan dibuat, beliau berkata, Kumpulan Naza sedang meneliti secara serius beberapa tawaran yang dikemukakan oleh kerajaan negara yang berkaitan dan berharap dapat dimuktamad segera.

Beliau menambah, keputusan untuk menyegerakan penubuhan kilang itu akan memudahkan kemasukan dan mengukuhkan jenama Chevrolet di pasaran negara ini.

Ketika ini, kata SM Faisal, terdapat 16,000 buah kereta Chevrolet berada di jalan raya dipasarkan di bawah usahasama GM Motor dengan DRB-Hicom sebelum diambilalih oleh Kumpulan Naza.

Rancangan memasang model Chevrolet Cruze bertujuan mengimbangi permintaan untuk model kereta sedan itu, sekali gus mengubah komposisi penguasaan jenama tersebut di pasaran tempatan.

Beliau berkata, ketika ini tahap penguasaan pasaran Chevrolet masih lagi kecil tetapi melalui usaha membawa masuk beberapa model baharu pada masa akan datang akan memberikan kesan kepada pasaran dan permintaan pengguna.

"Beberapa barisan model terbaharu nanti amat istimewa, saya tidak boleh mendedahkannya sekarang tetapi apa yang pasti ia menarik dan memenuhi cita rasa pengguna," tambah SM Faisal.

AP kereta diteruskan oleh BN -Muhriz ?

The Government will continue to aid Approved Permit (AP) holders after 2015, the year when issuance of APs will finally stop. The aid will be from a special fund filled by the RM10,000 fee charged for each AP issued.

The man who gave the assurance, Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir, said the aim was to help bumiputra entrepreneurs shift smoothly to other sectors.

“We charged RM10,000 for every AP issued to set up the fund and the money will be used to ensure a smooth and orderly shift of bumiputra entrepreneurs to other business sectors. By having the fund, we hope to execute the shift orderly and smoothly,” he told reporters.

On claims by the Association of Malay Importers and Traders of Motor Vehicles Malaysia (Pekema) that 70,000 people would lose their jobs if the AP policy was enforced by 2015, Mukhriz had this to say:

“They need to prove that statement because we have our own figures. We have been helping them for a long time, some about 30 years already. I think they will benefit greatly from this government policy. At this time, there are many more bumiputra companies that wished they have the APs enjoyed by the 98 companies (selected by the government).

“There are about 160 companies eligible to get APs but the government will stick to the 98 companies and will protect them until 2015,” he added.

"I had sex with Ummi in London,"

A defence witness in the sodomy trial of jailed former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim told the High Court today that he had sex with star prosecution witness Ummi Hafilda Ali.

"I had sex with Ummi in London," said Norazman Abdullah @ Baginda anak Minda to the murmurs of those seated in the public gallery.

The 40-year-old Iban told judge Arifin Jaka that he had known Ummi since 1992 but their relationship only became close when they were in London in June 1998, together with businessman and former MP S'ng Chee Hua (who was Norazman's boss then) and another friend.

"When we returned to Malaysia, Ummi told me that she would give my ex-wife RM200,000 so that we (Ummi and I) could get married and elope to London," Norazman said, adding that he was then married with two children.

"Ummi also told me that I would have a 25 percent share in a RM10 million advertising project," he added.

Ummi, who made court appearances during Anwar's corruption trial last year in designer attire and matching accessories, had told the press that she "is still a virgin".

She, together with former driver of Anwar's wife, Azizan Abu Bakar, wrote letters to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad alleging Anwar had committed sexual misconduct.

They later retracted their allegations and said they wrote the letters under coercion and on "mere suspicion".

"In the beginning, Ummi told me that the sodomy allegations against Anwar were true. But later, after our relationship became closer, she confessed that they were all fabricated," Norazman said.

He also told the court this morning that Ummi told him she "forced" Azizan to confess that he was sodomised by Anwar.

"Ummi told me that she did it because she hated Anwar and her brother Azmin Ali as they both did not give her any business projects.

"She also said that when Anwar was toppled from power, she will get an advertising project at Kuala Lumpur International Airport worth RM10 million from Tun Daim Zainuddin (business tycoon turned finance minister)," Norazman said.

He, however, added that he did not ask Ummi how she forced Azizan to make the confession.

Norazman, who is now a farmer, also told the court that while they were in London, Ummi had told him that Mahathir was the man behind the "50 Dalil: Mengapa Anwar Tidak Boleh Jadi Perdana Menteri" ("50 Reasons Why Anwar Cannot Become Prime Minister") book.

"She also told me that Daim, (former Malacca chief minister) Rahim Tamby Chik and (Umno executive secretary) Tengku Adnan Mansor were involved in the fabrication of the sodomy charges in the book," he said, in response to a question from defence counsel Gurbachan Singh.

According to Norazman, Ummi also told him that Khaled Jeffri was the writer of the book while (former finance minister) Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Daim and Tengku Adnan were the sponsors.

He added that Ummi called him one night in August 1998, and said that her father had disowned her because she had given false information for the contents of the book.

"Ummi called one night and said that she could not sleep and wanted to meet me as her father had chased her out of the house," he said.

Ummi's brother Azmin Ali, who was also Anwar's former private secretary and now state assemblyman for Hulu Klang, had testified earlier that Ummi is not the person she portrays herself to be and was disowned by her father in late 1998 "for running away with a married man overseas." ("[#1]Ummi eloped with a married man, says Azmin[/#]", April 7.)

Norazman also told the court that Ummi told him that she had written a letter to Mahathir but the contents (of the letter) were later amended by Aziz Shamsuddin, who was then the political secretary to the Prime Minister.

Meanwhile, the prosecution refused to cross-examine the witness, saying that his evidence was merely hearsay.

Lead prosecutor Abdul Gani Patail told the judge: "Unless and if Ummi is called to testify, this evidence is all useless."

The court will resume on Friday as Anwar's lawyers said that the rest of their witnesses, including Daim, deputy education minister Aziz, former consumer affairs minister Megat Junid Megat Ayob and his wife Ziela Jalil would only be called in if Mahathir was allowed to testify in the trial.

Najib takut berdebat isu ekonomi dengan Anwar

Datuk Seri Najib Razak berkata beliau tidak nampak apa-apa hasil daripada debat yang dicadangkan oleh Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dengan beliau berhubung "Pelan 100 hari" Pakatan Rakyat.

Perdana Menteri berkata yang penting ialah penilaian daripada rakyat dan biar rakyat yang menentukannya.

"Kalau nak debat, kita mesti ada sesuatu hasil daripada debat itu. Saya tak nampak ada hasil, yang penting sekali ialah penilaian daripada rakyat," katanya kepada pemberita di Seri Perdana di Putrajaya hari ini selepas majlis ramah mesra meraikan skuad bola sepak kebangsaan yang menjuarai Piala AFF Suzuki pada bulan lalu.

Sebelum ini, Perdana Menteri dan ramai pakar ekonomi menyifatkan pelan itu sebagai tidak bertanggungjawab dan boleh menyebabkan negara muflis.

Najib berkata pakatan pembangkang boleh membuat pembentangan mereka dan BN akan turut membuat pembentangan berhubung perkara itu.

"Dan kita boleh buat macam-macam penilaian atas perancangan berkenaan (pelan). Biar rakyat menentukan," katanya.
