Penang CM: Business as usual at PDC amid MBI probe
He said this when asked if PDC's accounts had been frozen pending investigations into the into the Mobility Beyond Imagination (MBI) investment scheme.
"Ask the police. Ask far as I know, PDC is still operating as usual.
"For other details, please ask the police. I, myself, have no information. It is not my responsibility to answer," Chow, who is PDC chairman, told newsmen here today.
Officers from the Bukit Aman Special Task Force on Anti-Money Laundering (AMLA) visited PDC headquarters on July 9, as part of a nationwide investigation into the MBI investment scheme.
The visit was aimed at tracing financial flows possibly linked to the scheme.
The transactions involved the Bayan Mutiara development, where a company linked to MBI became the major shareholder in 2018.
Chow had repeatedly said that PDC was not the subject of the investigation, but assisting as a stakeholder involved in earlier commercial transactions that might be relevant to the probe.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail confirmed that enforcement efforts were discussed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Chinese President Xi Jinping during Xi's visit in April.

Perikatan MP references May 13 riots in Parliament, causes uproar
KUALA LUMPUR: A fiery exchange erupted in the Dewan Rakyat after Pendang MP Datuk Awang Hashim sparked outrage by referencing the May 13 racial riots while criticising the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) for allegedly sidelining the bumiputera community. Debating the five-year national development roadmap, Awang questioned why the plan included a development blueprint for Chinese new villages, but lacked similarly targeted initiatives for the bumiputera. The Perikatan Nasional MP claimed that funding for Chinese new villages was not a problem. "But in 13MP, there is no specific development for the bumiputera, and when we look back at the May 13 incident, one of the elements was economic pressure on the bumiputera. 'That's why 1MP to 13MP exist, to rebalance income and the economy among the races. But 13MP has nothing specific for the bumiputera," he said. His remarks drew swift condemnation from RSN Rayer (PH–Jelutong), who cited Standing Order 36(9)(c), which prohibits statements that may incite ill feelings or hostility between races. 'Pendang (Awang) is suggesting that May 13 could happen again. That's dangerous and irresponsible,' said Rayer, urging Deputy Speaker Alice Lau to order Awang to retract the statement. Awang defended himself, accusing Rayer of slander and misquoting him. 'This is slander. He's not even quoting me accurately,' said Awang. Rayer shot back, saying: 'We don't object to development in Chinese New Villages. But it's not right to repeat the notion that May 13 can happen again.' Awang insisted he was merely pointing out an imbalance, referencing a statement by the Prime Minister on enhancing socio-economic development in Chinese new villages. 'Is it racist to mention 'Chinese' or 'bumiputera'? If I use these words, does it automatically make me racist?' he asked. Deputy Speaker Lau declined to make a ruling, saying the minister in charge would address the matter. She advised Rayer to file a formal motion with the Speaker if he wanted further action.

Parliament: Tempers flare as opposition MP issues May 13 'warning' over 13MP
KUALA LUMPUR: Tempers flared in the Dewan Rakyat today after Datuk Awang Solahuddin Hashim (PN-Pendang) warned the government about a possible repeat of the May 13, 1969 race riots. He alleged this could happen because the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) "sidelined Bumiputera interests". The uproar began when Awang interjected during opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin's debate speech on the 13MP, claiming the plan lacked development for Bumiputera while discussing on Chinese new villages. "We agree that funding for Chinese new villages is not an issue. However, the 13MP clearly lacks specific development for Bumiputera. "We know that one element leading to the May 13 incident was economic pressure on the Bumiputera community. "So, the 1MP to 12MP were created to rebalance income and the economy among these races. The 13MP has nothing (specific for Bumiputeras). "Is the government trying to revert to the May 13 incident?" Awang's remarks prompted objections from RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong), who urged Deputy Speaker Alice Lau to order a retraction. "I refer to Standing Order 36(9)(c), which prohibits words likely to incite ill-will between different races in Malaysia, or violating any conditions in the constitution or the Sedition Act, should not be used. "I heard Pendang debating and interjecting, suggesting that the 13MP is biased and does not prioritise Bumiputeras, giving priority to the Chinese community instead and making statements that will cause ill-will," Rayer said. He requested that Awang's statement be retracted, and that he apologise. Awang, however, dismissed the allegation as slander, arguing that Rayer misrepresented his words. "This is slander. You did not quote what I said. That is why even DAP members do not accept you, (and that) you lost the CEC (central executive committee) selection," he said. Awang insisted that his remarks were based on statements made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during the tabling of the 13MP. Lau then intervened, asking both MPs to sit.

Why are more wealthy mainland companies coming to Hong Kong for mediation?
An increasing number of wealthy mainland families have been opting to come to Hong Kong for mediation services to solve disputes instead of going to court, according to an expert. 'There is an increased demand for family mediation services in Hong Kong in recent years, particularly from [mainland] Chinese families,' said Ann Cooley, founder of Hong Kong-based Cooley Family Office, which has offered mediation services to help family offices handle their disputes for three decades. 'Hong Kong is going to benefit from such a trend because the city is an international mediation centre with many experts in this area,' Cooley said in an interview on Thursday. 'Being part of China and the Greater Bay Area means that many wealthy mainland families can take the high-speed train to travel to Hong Kong within an hour to meet their bankers to manage their wealth, as well as to find experts to resolve their family disputes,' she said. The hidden disputes of wealthy mainland families have come under the microscope recently with the legal battle surrounding the family of Zong Qinghou, the late founder of China's biggest beverage company, Hangzhou Wahaha Group, barely 12 months after his death. Three plaintiffs claiming to be his children sued chairwoman and CEO Kelly Zong Fuli in Hong Kong and Hangzhou in eastern Zhejiang province, demanding her to honour the late founder's will, which promised them trusts valued at US$700 million each. Before the lawsuit was filed, Kelly, 43, was known as the billionaire's only child. On Friday, the lawsuit by Jacky Zong Jicang, Jessie Zong Jiele and Jerry Zong Jisheng will come before the High Court in Hong Kong. Cooley said she believed similar court cases would be brought to Hong Kong, as many affluent families on the mainland had not prepared for a smooth transfer of wealth. 'We are living through an unprecedented wave of wealth transfer in Asia, particularly in mainland China, where first-generation entrepreneurs are passing the baton to the new generations,' she said. 'Many of these families have no experience in how to prepare for succession planning, which is why we are going to see more disputes in the years ahead.' Cooley said mediation was preferable to litigation because the cost was lower. Mediations allow for closed-door meetings to seek solutions that are accepted by all parties and there is no need for public disclosures. 'Mediation puts families in the driver's seat,' she said. 'I do not believe families should go to court unless it is the last resort.' In addition, many wealthy mainland families like to come to Hong Kong instead of litigating closer to home. 'These families do not want their friends in Beijing or Shanghai to know about their finances or their personal affairs,' Cooley said. 'Mediation can prevent their family matters from getting into the ess.' Some families use mediation to reach decisions on when and how to sell the family assets and how to move companies forward. 'Sometimes the younger generations want to use artificial intelligence or other technology in the operation of the companies, while the older generations want to do things in their own ways,' she said. 'Mediation can also help them find a solution.' And while court decisions had a stronger enforcement element, mediation agreements were reached voluntarily, which meant families were usually more committed to following through with them, she said. 'Most families are looking for harmonious outcomes rather than vengeful and destructive ones,' she said. 'That is why mediation, even without traditional enforcement power, often works better for keeping families together and moving forward.' - SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST
