Kes selanjutnya ialah berhubung kerja-kerja guaman yang disalur keluar dari jabatan perundangan MBPJ kepada kumpulan peguam yang telah menjadi barisan pemimpin PKR.

This next case is regarding some scams involving the amount of legal work dished out by the legal department of MBPJ. This work is being given exclusively to a group of lawyers who are all PKR leaders.
(Kes selanjutnya ialah berhubung kerja-kerja guaman yang disalur keluar dari jabatan perundangan MBPJ kepada kumpulan peguam yang telah menjadi barisan pemimpin PKR.)
This large amount of legal work to these chosen few has caused immense unhappiness amongst the other Pakatan Rakyat council members in MBPJ, who have chosen to remain silent for the sake of ‘party unity’. They feel that if they speak out that may jeopardise Pakatan Rakyat’s chances of retaining Selangor in the next general election. (Sejumlah besar kerja berkait undang-undang yang serah kepada pemimpin-pemimpin ini mencetus rasa tidak puas hati dikalangan ahli majlis bandaraya yang terdiri dari wakil Pakatan Rakyat sendiri. Mereka berdiam diri demi kepentingan penyatuan parti. Mereka berpendapat jika mereka menceritakan hal ini, ia akan membahayakan peluang PR untuk pertahankan Selangor pada PRU mendatang.)
The principle characters are lawyers Derrick Fernandez and Lateefa Koya, who are also both MBPJ councillors and PKR leaders, the Member of Parliament for Subang, R. Sivarasa, and the newly-minted Vice President of PKR, N. Surendran. Lateefa is also employed by Daim and Gamany, Sivara’s legal firm. (Peguan-peguam ini ialah Derrick Fernandez dan Lateefa Koya, yang juga ahli majlis MBPJ dan pemimpin PKR, Ahli Parlimen Subang, R. Sivarasa dan Timbalan Presiden PKR yang baru, N. Surendran. Lateefa juga bekerja dengan Daim & Gamany, syarikat guaman Sivarasa.)
A good chunk of the legal work in MBPJ has been diverted to the firms of Sivarasa, Surendran and Derrick through the influence of Lateefa Koya and Derrick. After all, this is a PKR-controlled council. Is this not corruption, or at least a conflict of interest? (Kerja-kerja penting berkait guaman di MBPJ telah dialihkan tugasnya ke firma Sivarasa, Surendran dan Derrick atas pengaruh Lateefa Koya dan Derrick. MBPJ sepertinya hak PKR. Jika ini bukan korupsi, apakah sekurang-kurangnya konflik kepentingan?)
Anwar Ibrahim is fully aware of this but does nothing about it. And Anwar does not need me to provide any figures or documents because the accounts can be procured from the MBPJ. (Anwar tahu akan hal ini tapi membiarkan. Anwar tak perlulah menyuruh saya sediakan angka-angka pula lepas ni sebab semuanya boleh diperoleh dari MBPJ.)
MBPJ has to be transparent and reveal the exact amount of work given to these three firms and the total fees paid over the few years that Pakatan Rakyat has ruled Selangor. (MBPJ perlulah telus mendedahkan jumlah sebenar kerja guaman yang diberi kepada tiga buah firma ini dan semua yuran guaman yang dibayar kepada mereka sepanjang Pakatan Rakyat memerintah Selangor.)
Daim and Gamany has moved from their humble office in the ‘slum’ Masjid India area to a new swank office near MBPJ. Surendran, on the other hand, is no longer the poor lawyer he used to be. He used to travel around in a beaten-up Proton Saga begging for work. Now, he is chauffer-driven in an expensive continental car. Talk about rags to riches in the blink of an eye. (Daim dan Gamany berpindah dari pejabat selekehnya sekitar masjid India ke pejabat yang bagus berhampiran menara MBPJ. Surendran pula bukan lagi peguam miskin. Selalunya menaiki Proton Saga buruk mencari kerja. Sekarang dah ada pemandu dengan kereta kontinental. Kekayaan sekelip mata.)
Surendran’s firm is called Edwin Lim Suren & Soh and Derrick’s is Derrick Fernandez and Co. Sivarasa is also on the board of Kumpulan Perangsang Selangor and is enjoying perks and director’s fees estimated in the tens of thousands a month, other than the spoils from his legal work. (Firma Surendran bernama Edwin Lim Suren & Soh dan firma Derrick pula ialah Derrick Fernandez & Co. Sivarasa juga dalam senarai ahli lembaga pengarah Kumpulan Perangsang Selangor dan menikmati elaun pengarah berbelas ribu sebulan selain kerja-kerja guaman MBPJ.)
Okay, as I said, let us start with these two cases while I gather the evidence for the other cases, which I will reveal in due course. (OK, seperti saya sebutkan, marilah kita mulakan dengan dua kes ini sementara saya mendapatkan bukti-bukti untuk kes lain.)
Why can’t the PKR people be more like Nik Aziz, the Kelantan MB? Do you know that Nik Aziz still lives in his old wooden house that does not even have a proper road leading to it? And when he does his prayers in the office, he switches off the lights because his prayers are his personal matter while the electricity is paid by the state government. (Kenapa PKR tidak seperti Nik Aziz? Tahukah mereka yang Nik Aziz masih tinggal dalam rumah kayu. Bila dia sembahyang, dia tutup lampu kerana elektrik dibayar kerajaan negeri dan urusan sembahyangnya ialah urusan peribadi.)
That is how I expect our elected leaders to conduct themselves. (Begitulah yang kita mahukan pemimpin yang kita undi dalam menjaga perangai.)

And, yes, I still support Pakatan Rakyat and I urge you to do the same. But do we want to wait until Pakatan Rakyat becomes just like Barisan Nasional before we scream? We need them to clean up their act now. I suspect that the next general election will be held in March 2013. That means we have more than a year to set things right.
(Ya, saya masih menyokong Pakatan Rakyat dan meminta anda melakukan hal yang sama. Tetapi mahukah kita menunggu sehingga Pakatan Rakyat menjadi Barisan Nasional baru nak jerit? Kita mahu mereka betulkan diri. Saya agak PRU 13 akan berlangsung bulan Mac 2013. Maknanya kita punya setahun lebih untuk perbetulkan.)
