Minister of Tourism admits Daro Worldwide Sdn Bhd was directly appointed by the ministry to set up and operate Tourism Call Centre …
Soalan
Tuan Wee Choo Keong [Wangsa Maju] minta Menteri Pelancongan menjelaskan mengapakah Lembaga Penggalakan Pelancongan Malaysia telah melantik Daro Worldwide Sdn Bhd (syarikat kawalan asing tidak langsung) yang tiada pengalaman mengendalikan
Wow! This Taiwanese is very influential and powerful. The Minister of Tourism seems to know nothing about Daro Worldwide Sdn Bhd. YB Wee appears to know more than the Minister.
The Minister may not know about Daro Worldwide but I am sure she knew who is Ms Grace Chen Oyan Yun Shai, who is quite a personality in Ministry of Tourism. The Minister should tell all of us, how well does she know Ms Grace Chen.
Powerful Taiwanese!
This whole appointment smells a rat! The Minister of Tourism should tell us whether she knows Grace Chen Oyan Yun Shai and why there was no open tender before the appointment.
It just smell like hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sepatutnya Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia memanggil tender terbuka untuk projrk mengendalikan Call Center bagi kementerian Pelancongan Malaysia. Projek bernilai RM 3.8 juta diserahkan kepada sebuah syarikat Daro Worldwide tanpa tender terbuka adalah tidak adil. Mana tahu jika di panggil tender terbuka mungkin nilai projek boleh dikurangkan.
Hebat sungguh Puan Grace Chen Oyan Yun Shai dan anaknya Chin Fook Kwon telah memiliki 400,000 saham Daro Worldwide. Beliau warganegara Taiwan telah mendapat kerakyatan Malaysia dengan begitu singkat sekali tanpa menunggu 10 tahun seperti kebiasaan.
Puan Grace adalah Direktor dan pemegang saham Syarikat Venturepharm Asia Sdn Bhd yang mendapat kontrek bernilai RM5.6juta untuk Kementerian Sains, Teknologi dan Innovasi. Setelah mendapat bantahan dari YB Wee Kementerian Sains telah menyiasat samada Syarikat tersebut mempunyai kepakaran dalam membuat reserch biofeed. Buat masa ini projek tersebut dibekukan sehingga penyiasatan selesai.
Apa yang ditakuti ialah apa yang berlaku kepada Kementerian Sains, Teknologi dan Innovasi akan berlaku kepada Kementerian Pelancongan Malaysia. Walaupun ia Syarikat Bumiputra seperti di dakwa oleh kerajaan tapi kita tidak tahu samada syarikat tersebut boleh mengendalikan Call Center tersebut. Kita harap jangan jadi ” Bila rumah siap pahat berbunyi”
Saya takut ini adalah “Ali baba”!
By the look of things, Daro may just be a nominee company of Chen Oyan Yun Shai. She is just fantastic. In a short spanof time she got Malaysian citizenship whilst another person borned and bred here for more than 50 years are still waiting for citizenship.
I think this is a scam.I hope MACC will loo into this.
Think about what going to happen to the staff of the company …YB Wee.Most of them is Malaysian.
MACC MANA TIDUR KA SUDAH MATI!!!
YB
Well done. Plesae keep exposing this type of ali baba set up. Check and see if teh Bumi party actually put up 1 cent of equity.
I bet it is the Taiwanese party that is doing all the work.
They should have gone for open tender. There are M’sian listed call centre companies who have been in business for more than 5 years who would have tendered for it. The MT would have enjoyed lower costs and economies of scale.
Instead they have gone for the directly negotiated contract. pLease harass the MACC to investigate! We are sick of these handouts to parties with no previous track record.
YB,
Thanks for exposing this Taiwanese Grace who has been milking Tourism Malaysia and Ministry of Tourism budgets for a long time.
Perhaps you want to check up more on her activities:
1) Guangzhou Daley PR & Communications Co., Ltd
http://www.daleypr.net
This is Grace’s China based company that has been having the lion’s share of Tourism Malaysia’s PR account for China since Dato Syed Kadir’s time and she has managed to hold the account till now surviving Dato Leo Toyad, Dato Tg. Adnan, Aatuk Azalina and now Dato Ng Yen Yen.
I understand the billings are huge and the work substandard but she continues to survive.
2) Her relationship with Dato Noni of Smascom Design Sdn Bhd whose company is the advertising agency awarded the Chinese advertising portion of Tourism Malaysia.
Dato Noni is the sister in law of former prime minsiter Dato Badawi and so she obviously has leverage in getting the account.
I understand that Grace has a joint signatory account for all advertising media work by Smascom over these years and the billings are substantial.
3) A list of the advertising billboards in China booked by Grace via Smascom will definitely reveal the huge overpricing of these obscure and less than desired advertising efforts procured by Grace for Malaysia in China.
As mentioned by some insiders, Grace is a cat with 9 lives in Tourism Malaysia’s expenditures!

Venturepharm has been awarded another Tourism Ministry project to built Malaysia Pavilion at World Expo 2010. The Project was at RM20Million and most likely to be increased by another RM10 Million to be RM30 Million.
THis is ridiculous as they are not in this industry to be awarded the project..
I hope YB Wee please look on the “call centre”. Is it worth the sum of money that the government have provide? As what as Tourism Malaysia paid rm47500 for the staff salary. But the staff is having bad times working on longer hours (10hrs) with no shift allowance/bonus/overtime/public holiday allowance etc etc.
