Musa Hitam: Chartered private jet and RM1 million travel bill

When Zahid Md Arip of Perkasa described Musa as carrying "sindrom sayangkan kedudukan", there might be the little splash of truth.

Sime Darby was once not usually the blue chip association though the blue blood company. It was an organization that had developed the corporate enlightenment that is aristocratic as well as at an early bureucratic stage.

Chairmanship as well as Board membership came with fee as well as perks befitting of heavily patrician late top civil servants, politicians as well as corporate man.

It was also the place for Musa to maintain the lifestyle he yearns as someone roughly creation it as #1 male in the country.

In Sime Darby, the enlightenment is such that no the single provoke any other or cranky any other. It is in such an organization that spending abuse is ever occuring as well as accountability is never practise.

Aging Company

Back during the time this blogger was doing his MBA, we were recommended to review Ichak Adzes's Corporate Lifecycle. It was about how as well as why corporations grow as well as die. There were mentioned the little remedial actions recomended.

In our category discussion, we identified Sime Darby as an organization that has passed the budding as well as were display aging signs.

Unless the organization get out of the aristocratic as well as bureaucratic tendencies, the organization was dying. The CEO then was aristocrat, Tunku Ahmad Yahya of Kedah royal family as well as it was building bureucrasy usually second to the Government.

After the bad incursion in to banking as well as finance, Sime was supposed to rearrange as well as reenergise itself in to the "young" flourishing company. It never did so, though accelarated itself in to the potential pathological genocide with the mega tri-merger.

Sime Darby was emulating the enlightenment in Gov! ernmenta l organization where form supercede functionality as well as organisational protocol is important.

Abuse

Such organization fits Tun Musa Hitam like the glove. It enables him to mental condition he is in the in front of he roughly yearn though could not attain i.e. to be the #1 man.

At Sime Darby, Musa has been behaving like the "Prime Minister" of an organization as well as at irregular intervals sportive his in front of as Chairman of Sime Darby.

According to Bigdogdotcom, Musa "is known to have enjoyed himself expensively in the position.

We allude to from Bigdogdotcom: He has been known to have had Sime Darby chartered in isolation jets for his make use of upon companys trips against using commercial flights. The urgency for him to arrive as well as leave the end that it warrants for expensive hire of commercial operation jets given he is not an executive is still baffling.

Probably, the little people think that he indispensable to transport in character right away that Sime Darby is the RM 30 billion as well as turnover MNC conglomerate as well as the largest plantations MNC in the world.

Sometime, these luxuries can be abused.

Recently, Musa demanded Sime Darby to licence as well as compensate for the transport bills of Maldives President upon commercial operation jet to attend the World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) hold in Kuala Lumpur.



President Mohamad Nasheeds bills came to slightly over RM the single million as well as it is thought that Tun Musa did this given the former is the latters personal friend.

This is highly irregular given the transport is deemed to be prejudicial make use of of companys responsibility as well as Sime Darby is just the unite as well as not an organiser of WIEF.

Unaccountability

Sime Darby ha! s just r ealised the major loss of RM1.3 billion from the irretrievable waste incurred by Bakun, Qatar Project as well as Maersk Oil Qatar. Read Bigdogdotcom's February 2009 bearing here.

After the 13 hour marathon assembly upon May 2010, none of the Board of Directors had the integrity to be accountable.

The strange Sime Darby had deceived the open in to believing the mega tri-merger would see an enlarge in shareholders value. But instead it is slowly becoming the facade to cover for worms already eating in to the apple.

The strange partial of of the pre-Synergy Drive Board of Directors should be obliged as well as if not liable for dubious the public.

Among the stream BOD who were partial of pre-Synergy Drive Sime Darby Bhd BOD, Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid, Tan Sri Ahmad Tajudin Ali as well as Dato Mohamad Sulaiman should resign or be late early.

Former Chief Secretary to the Government as well as after became PNB Chairman Tun Ahmad Sarji has been in pre-Synergy Drive Sime Darby Bhd. BOD given the 1990s, is the most longest portion member.

Tan Sri Tajudin was partial BOD of the pre-Synergy Drive Sime Darby given 2002. He gave the thumbs up for Bakun.

Inside sources calimed he was also the BOD partial of who explored the energy commercial operation as well as spearhead the Qatar Project (QP) as well as Maersk Oil Qatar (BOQ) projects.

Tajuddin was the former BOD of Sime Darby Engineering, that undertook the most gloated QP as well as MOQ projects.

Dato Seri Mohamad Sulaiman was the maestro partial of of Sime Darby management. His final job was Managing Director of Consolidated Plantations Bhd as well as he was Managing Sime UEP Bhd. from 1985-90.

Mohamad was really familiar within the Sime Darby systems, reporting, controls as well as values as well as philosophy.
