MELAKA, Feb 2 — The Melaka government urged Selangor Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to adopt a proactive attitude and accept the RM5.439 million in quit rent arrears that Yayasan Melaka is footing on behalf of Yayasan Basmi Kemiskinan (YBK) Selangor.
Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said Khalid should not offer excuses not to accept the payment.
He told this to reporters after checking on preparation’s for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s upcoming visit to Melaka, at Pantai Kelebang here today.
He was commenting on news reports today which said that Khalid would not accept the payment as the deadline to settle YBK’s quit rent arrears amounting to the sum remitted by Yayasan Melaka ended on Friday.
The Selangor government and YBK had been on the warpath over the quit rent arrears for YBK’s 526 hectares of land in Serendah, Selangor. — Bernama

Melaka has already settle the Kemiskinan problem. Take care of your state first before helping others. Why don't you help other BN controlled state. Ali is enough with your wayang show.

When a thief is caught stealing, does restitution by someone else absolve him of the crime? Maybe in 1Malaysia.
Some state governments and the Federal Govt are just a bunch of jokers in a circus - 1Circus.

Well, let YAB Khalid decide, he is the CM of Selangor, besides, the payment was overdue,and technically and professionally speaking, he cannot accept the payment! He is just doing his job, please do not politicize the matter. He needs to refer to his economic advisor as well. The economic advisor will have the final say! If everything is done for the good of the Rakyat, Khalid will be the first to accept, but, in this case, Khalid has to refer the matter to the state economic advisor as it involves state land.

But it will never hesitate to go by the rules, after 'planting' strong evidence against Pakatan folks.
It will even bend rules, in its favour.
Oh, we had this for many years.
How many more years we need to tolerate this?

hmm... to let my creative mind express itself, if Khalid accepts the money, 20 or 30 years later, when no one remembers what happened today, they will claim that they have bought the land at 5.439mil.

In reality, since YBK is not cooperative with Slelangor government, even no body know what the hell YBk is doing. Selangor should not accept the tax, take back the land and set up another institution to help the poor of Selangor.
