Sunway Director is Mrs Hart’s brother
By NALINEE SEELAL Tuesday, May 8 2012

THE Central Authority in Malaysia, acting on a request by Attorney General Anand Ramlogan via the TT Central Authority, issued court proceedings in Malaysia which later confirmed the authenticity of a birth certificate belonging to a director of Sunway Caribbean Limited, which was given a multi-million dollar contract by Udecott, under the tenure of then executive director Calder Hart, to build the Ministry of Legal Affairs Tower in Port-of-Spain.

The authentication of the birth certificate is being seen as a major coup for Fraud Squad investigators who are probing alleged perjury.

Newsday was told that on March 16, Justice Madmud bin Abdullah, presiding over a Sessions Court in Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur certified that the birth certificate of Lee Hup Ming — the original of which is in possession of the TT Police — is in fact authentic.

Evidence was taken from Nor Fadliah Binti Mat Shaari, the Assistant Registration Officer at the National Registry in Malaysia. Evidence was led by Federal Counsel Shammala Jaganathan, in a proceedings titled Public Prosecutor vs Nor Fadliah Binti Mat Shaari, Arrest Case No 64-09- 02/2012.

Lee Hup Ming was listed as a director of Sunway Caribbean Limited, the company which got a contract worth $368,902,836.60 from Udecott to build the tower. According to information from the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, on January 27, 2005, CH Development sold 100 percent of its shares to Sunway Caribbean Limited.

Sunway Caribbean Limited was given the contract to build the towers on May 5, 2005, and on that same day, CH Development changed its name to Sunway Construction Caribbean Limited. On May 17, 2005, Lee Hup Ming, Ng Chin Poh and Leong Chong Chee, the original directors of CH Development were replaced by Kwan Foh Kwai and Poon Koo Hoo.

During his testimony before the Uff Commission of Inquiry in 2009, former Udecott executive chairman Calder Hart denied before the Commission that neither he nor his wife Sherrine Hart were related to any of the directors of the company that was awarded a contract to build the Ministry of Legal Affairs Tower. Hart presented a sworn statement to the police alluding to this.

Police also secured a statement from his wife Sherrine, in which she, too, claimed not being related to any of the directors of the company given the contract to build the tower.

However, sworn witness testimony from Nor Fadilah Binti Mat Shaari, the Assistant Registration Officer of the Malaysian National Registry, contradicts the claims by Calder Hart and his wife Sherrine of no familial link with director Lee Hup Ming.

Shaari’s testimony confirmed that Lee Hup Ming is in fact the brother of Sherrine Hart.

During her testimony on March 16, Shaari was shown a copy of the birth certificate of Lee Hup Ming. “This birth certificate under the name of Lee Hup Ming, was registered at the Chinese Maternity Hospital, Negeri Sembilan,” Shaari told the court.

She was asked, as an Assistant Registration Officer, how was she able to confirm the authenticity of the document, to which Shaari replied: “Even if this is a copy, to authenticate it, we have to look at physical records and we have that physical record.”

She was also asked if she was able to obtain the certified copy of the extract of the birth certificate of Lee Hup Ming bearing Birth Registration Number 154663 and Identity Card Number 20230580, in which Shaari answered, “yes”. She even told the court that she was able to produce the documents in court, because she had them in her possession.

During that court proceeding, the Federal Counsel authenticated the birth certificate of Lee Hup Ming. On April 5, an official correspondence was sent to Sunita Harrikissoon — Head of the Central Authority of TT — by Mohammed Radzi Harun, Acting Head of the International Affairs Division for the Attorney General in Malaysia.

The correspondence, in part, stated: “Please find enclosed, herewith, the following documents marked as Annexures A and B respectively. Certificate signed by Mahmud Abdullah, the Sessions Court Judge of the Sessions Court at the Federal Territory of Kuala Lampur, Malaysia dated 16 March 2012; “and the Notes of Proceedings/Recording of Witness Statement of the witness Nor Fadilah Binti Mat Shaari (National Registration Identification Card No.: 820826-03-5036), recorded before Mahmud Abdullah, the Sessions Court Judge of the Sessions Court at the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia dated 16 March 2012 and its attached exhibits.”

Fraud Squad police are expected to travel to Malaysia later this week to secure information and evidence as they continue their probe into allegations of perjury. This visit to Malaysia is being made possible through the intervention of AG Ramlogan, who wrote to the Central Authority in Malaysia seeking the necessary assistance to facilitate a probe by TT police into a criminal complaint.

The Central Authority of Trinidad and Tobago also wrote to the Central Authority of the United States asking for assistance in locating Mr and Mrs Hart who were last seen in Miami. Local police sources said the Harts are needed by investigators to assist in the perjury investigations.

General Discussion / Hart and UDeCOTT
« on: January 29, 2009, 07:51:46 PM »
Trinidad Guardian

Member of the Uff Commission of Enquiry Israel Khan, SC, yesterday waded into executive chairman of the Urban Development Corporation of T&T (Udecott) Calder Hart, telling him he had a knack for breaching established rules. This, as hearing of the Commission of Enquiry into the Construction Sector and Udecott continued. Khan told Hart that sacked government minister Dr Keith Rowley had been vindicated in the probe. “It seems to me that you have a knack, Mr Hart—with the greatest respect—for breaking your own rules and ignoring sagacious advice given to you, by lawyers, by ministers, everybody,” Khan said. “If we find that as a fact, that is a serious indictment against you.” Hart responded quickly: “If you made that indictment, it is serious...There is no question about that.”

Khan said Hart ignored the advice given to him by then planning and development minister Dr Keith Rowley, not to award a flawed contract to Hafeez Karamath Ltd for the Customs and Excise Building in Port-of-Spain. `He said Rowley was within his right to so advise, but Hart refused and proceed to get legal advice on the matter. Khan told Hart: “It seemed to me that Hafeez Karamath had a water-tight connection with Udecott insider information about contracts.” He was commenting on an issue raised by attorney for the Joint Consultative Council on the construction sector Alvin Fitzpatrick, SC, during cross-examination of Hart earlier.

In response to Fitzpatrick, Hart said he could not confirm how Karamath got information about certain packages at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba , south Trinidad. Later, in response to Khan’s submission, Hart said he did not know when the estimates for the packages were done. Karamath had tendered the exact figure for the packages even before it was made public. Hart said: “I don’t know when that estimate was done. I don’t know how he comes to the exact figures that are in that estimates, whether it was done pre or post submissions.” Khan told Hart: “If all the allegations, including Rowley’s claim that he (Hart) had committed perjury, turn out to be true—you ready to resign?” Hart answered: “If they turn out to be true? Yes!”

Khan forced Hart to withdraw a critical comment he made of the Commission. Hart had said that the Commission could have spent its time addressing more critical issues that those before it. Yesterday, Hart withdrew the comment. Khan asked Hart: “Would you agree that if all these things I pointed out to you are true, it will be a scandalous state of affairs in this country?” Hart said he agreed. Moments later, Commission chairman John Uff told Hart that no member of the Commission “holds any brief for any party. We are not here to accuse you of anything...We are here to listen to and weigh the material that comes before us.”

He said what Khan did earlier was to reflect “some very serious accusations that have been put.” Hart later told the Commission that he was receiving five salaries. He did not elaborate. He said, however, that the salaries were approved by the Public Sector Negotiating Committee. He said he received a bonus of between half-month and three months’ salary. He said, in response to further questions from Uff, that he did not expect any bonus from the Brian Lara Stadium project because it was not as successful as was originally intended.

Larry started a business a year ago when the she put in $50,000 of her own money. Shortly after that, the business borrowed $10,000 on a longterm bank loan. By the end of the year, the balance sheet included the following:
                                                          $
Noncurrent assets (net of depreciation)    53 000
Inventories                             2 500
Trade payables                                  2 700
Cash at bank                                  5 100
Trade receivables                             700
Noncurrent liabilities (longterm loan)               10 000

During the year Larry drew out $15,000 for her own spending.p

a)   How much profit (or loss) did Larry business make during its first year?

b)   Which principle did you follow in deriving Larry’s profit?

c)   What is the point of preparing an income statement if the profit figure can be found in the way that you have just done?

d)       “Inflation is not really a problem in accounting. In the income statement and balance sheet all items are affected by inflation in the same way, so we are always comparing like with like. In any case with inflation running at about 2% a year, the effect is negligible.”

Hi Pecan et al is me again...any help is appreciated on any of them?  Thanks

Warner confirms Latas coaching role

T&T and Falkirk midfielder Rusell Latapy has been confirmed as an assistant coach of the Soca Warriors for next year’s Concacaf Final Round 2010 South Africa World Cup series.

This was disclosed by Fifa vice-president and T&TFF special advisor Jack Warner at a media launch to announce a two-year contract with TSTT yesterday at the Kayak Room, Kapok Hotel, Maraval yesterday.

Warner in confirming the appointment of Latapy noted that it would not have been possible to have the “Little Magician” and his family return to T&T from December 23 if TSTT had not come on board the 2010 campaign as a major sponsor, the first to do so.

Warner added, “When you are on top you hardly need friends. But, when you are down, you know who your friends are.”

Asked if the position of T&T’s Colombian coach, Francisco Maturana and his current assistant coaches, his brother Caesar Maturana and Anton Corneal are in jeopardy, Warner, speaking to reporters after the media conference replied.

“All I can tell you is that the staff will be restructured. As you see, it’s premature for me to talk before I talk to these guys and I haven’t spoken to those guys (Maturana and staff) because they came in last night.

“And, it is not fair for them to read about anything before we talk. From a point of view of just ethics I don’t think its fair. So, all I can tell you is that it will be restructured in a way that will make our qualification not only probable, but assured.


“Dwight Yorke will still be the captain of the team, and of course he plays a role better than a captain because he is not just a captain but a leader as well.

He (Yorke) will be coming on December 23 with Latapy and to see of course how we will have things restructured. The whole staff (technical) has to be restructured so as to make them more accountable.

“For example in T&T we have used over 34 players so far, the USA used 32. All the other teams in Concacaf used 26 and 25 but we used 34.

“Something has to be wrong somewhere and that is one other thing we have to look at, to see out team selection. Why it is we have to use so many players from time to time. Why at this point we don’t have a nucleus of players.and those are some of the things we have to ask.” Warner said.

TSTT, T&TFF sign two-year World Cup deal

Local telecommunications service provider, TSTT has thrown its full support behind the T&T Football Federation and the Soca Warriors in their efforts to reach South Africa World Cup 2010.

This commitment to the Soca Warriors has been shown in the form of a two year contract signed between the T&TFF and TSTT and disclosed by Anthony Joseph, TSTT’s executive vice-president of mobile services.

As part of the deal TSTT will also provide members of the Soca Warriors technical staff with the new Blackberry smartphone, with T&TFF president Oliver Camps and special advisor Jack Warner, being the first recipients at the launch.

Joseph, whose company was also on board the successful 2006 Germany World Cup campaign as the main sponsor will once again fill that role.

In his brief address, Joseph who did not disclose the financial terms of the deal noted that as a sponsor it was not enough to simply step into the picture when success is being experienced.

“We believe we must play a part in accomplishing that success, and it starts with supporting football at a much earlier stage,” he said.

The TSTT vice-president added that his company is looking forward to a very exciting programme of activities.

“We shall be building around the Soca Warriors qualifying campaign,” he said.

During his address, Fifa vice-president and Concacaf boss, Warner firstly declared that he would not disclose the monetary value of the deal even if asked, but thanked TSTT for being a friend of football.

Warner boasted that TSTT is the only sponsor to come on board thus far, and without them, the T&TFF would not be able to have Russell Latapy return as assistant national coach from December 23 or to have the Soca Warriors have two overseas camps in mid-year.

Hello, Im knocking my head against the wall with this question 1b.
Any advice from you Accounting Gurus is greatly appreciated

PROBLEM 1:
AB manufactures and sells a single product. In the past year production capacity has been used to the full. The following financial information has been presented by the controller:

Manufactured and sold units    100 000 pcs
Sales price/unit               25 £
Variable costs/unit       5 £
Fixed costs          500 000 £

1a. Profit
£1 000 000
£1 500 000
£2 000 000

  
Revenue = 100,000 x $25 = $2,500,000
Less: Variable Costs = 100,000 x $5 = £500,000got
Less:  Fixed Costs     = £500,000
Profit = £2,500,000 - £500,000 - £500,000 = £1,500,000

So I got the answer for this question and used the same concept for the other one below but ah buss

The company has an investment option which would lower the variable cost by 4 £/unit and thus increase production capacity to 150 000 units per annum. It would however give rise to an increase in fixed costs by 340 000 £. The management believe that in order to sell more products it would be necessary to lower the price to 23 £/unit.

1b. Profit
a.£1 540 000
b.£1 890 000
c.£2 460 000
 
Revenue = 150,000 x $22 = 3,300,000  (22 is the contribution margin per unit)
Less: Variable Costs = 150,000 x $4 = 600,000
Less:  Fixed Costs     = £340,000
Profit = £3,300,000 - £600,000 - £340,000 = £2,360,000 BUT Im guessing 100,000 missing
