We have been asked to simplify and clarify what the record RM557 million High Court judgement on PKR Sabah deputy chief and ADUN for Api-Api, Christina Liew was all about and exactly what she and her colleagues did wrong.
Essentially, a company BSSB had entered into a joint-venture agreement with 819 small-holders to develop the small holders land into palm oil estate totalling 12,000 acres. and the given shares in the JV company to share the income.
Thus, BSSB went ahead and cleared the land and planted the palm oil trees on the small-holders land hence raising the value of the land many times more as it is now income-producing land.
For a better understanding on how despicable this senior PKR leader and how she betrayed the trust of the very persons she said she wanted to protect so that she can make hundreds of millions of ringgit.
They were so quick to sack Khalid Ibrahim based on bullshit "allegations" and yet this was a proven case in court and yet zero action has been taken on their ADUN, Christina Liew.
Come to think of it, maybe PKR should protect their party reputation and also suspend or sack their president Wan Azizah for losing the RM200 million FELDA defamation case in order to prove that PKR is not a party of liars led by a liar. Where the fUK is keadilan in this party called keadilan?
What YB Christina Liew did was to wrongly tell the smallholders that the JV agreement was not valid and she and her colleagues went around to convince the small-holders to sell them the land cheaply.
Christina Liew used the name of her own staff, Siti as the buyer while she went about convincing the small-holders to sell to Siti.. The judge felt that Liew had been instrumental and played an active and major role in the whole transaction and that hiding the fact that Siti was her staff while she went about convincing the small-holders to sell the land was deceitful and with ulterior motives.
Being illiterate the small-holders relied on the representation of Samsuri and Liew and that they did not know that they were signing sale and purchase agreements and power of attorney. They also claimed having no intention of selling their lots but that they were asked by the trio to sign or thumb print blank documents and were told that if they do so they would be paid certain "incentive payments" or "wang hangus".
It was also stated in the trial that the three defendants under the guise of championing the smallholders' cause in actual fact took advantage of the smallholders' disadvantaged bargaining position for their own advantage, "ultimate personal gains or benefit or enrichment." Under the SPA, vacant possession and profit of the land was to be given by the smallholders to Siti upon payment of a mere RM1,000 and if the small-holders breach the agreement, apart from refunding any money paid, they also need to pay the three a penalty equivalent to 50% of the purchase price.
The total purchase price of the said land is RM83 million and if YB Christina had been successful, they would have made many hundreds of millions of Ringgit. Incidentally, most of the cheated 819 smallholders had lodged police reports and commenced legal proceedings against the three persons for cheating.
In summary, under the excuse of fighting for the small-holder's rights, PKR ADUN Christina took advantage of the small-holders ignorance to falsely advise and convince the land-sellers to sell the land to her own staff at very cheap price and on very lop-sided terms so that they can make hundreds of millions of Ringgit. She has betrayed the very trust that her voters had given her for her own personal enrichment.
