Zakaria Is DEAD!

Zakaria Deros of 'istana infamy' dies (updated)

KLANG: Former Port Klang assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros died after suffering a heart attack early Tuesday morning.

The controversial 62-year-old politician was dropped from the Selangor Barisan Nasional line-up for the general election.

Datuk Zakaria Md Deros

He was replaced by his daughter-in-law Roselinda Abdul Jamil as the candidate for the seat, which she did not win.

Also a former Klang municipal councillor, Zakaria hogged headlines last year when he had a run-in with the law for not submitting building plans for a mansion that was described as a virtual “istana” (palace) by his critics.

He was also found to have not paid the assessment for another property for 12 years, while his family was caught operating an illegal satay restaurant on government reserve land.

Due to these controversies, Zakaria gave in to mounting pressure and withdrew from being a municipal councillor.

His mansion has 21 bathrooms and 16 bedrooms, including 11 that are occupied by each of his children, as well as a VIP room, three living rooms, a dining hall and a prayer room.

The house also has a swimming pool, several gazebos, an orchard, a two-hole golf lawn, an office, a storeroom, two rooms for maids as well as a wet kitchen and a dry kitchen.

He is expected to be buried in Malacca. (resource from thestar)

KL Stock after March 2008 Election

KL stocks fall almost 10% Mar 10, 08 4:17pm



Malaysian stocks tumbled the most in a decade today with government-linked companies hardest hit after the weekend’s political upsets.

At 2:58pm, trading was stopped for an hour as the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) fell 130.01 points to 1,166.32, from the previous day’s closing level 1,296.33 - about 10.03 percent.
Trading resumed at 3:58pm, and the stock market recovered slightly.

After it closed for the day at 5pm at 1,117.2, a drop of 123.11 or 9.5 percent.
This was the biggest one-day percentage loss in recent years. The turnover was valued at RM2.47 billion.

State-owned banks like Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings and government-linked companies such as Malaysian Resources Corp, UEM World Bhd and Sime Darby were among counters that registered falling prices.

Construction-related companies hit
The ringgit also lost 1.2 percent, to RM3.198 to the dollar - the biggest depreciation since June last year.

While most companies suffered losses, construction-related stocks were among the hardest hit.
Malaysian Resources Corp, the company that secured the Penang Sentral development project, plunged 66 sen, or 34 percent, to RM1.270.

Sime Darby declined RM1.6, or 15 percent, to close at RM9.40 and Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings retreated RM1.4, or 13 percent, to RM8.80.
It is believed that investors fear political instability and that companies linked to the government could be affected by changes in policies as a result of Barisan Nasional's worst ever electoral outing.

Circuit breaking triggered
According to a statement from Bursa Malaysia, the decision to halt trading this afternoon is to "maintain market stability and allow traders to consider new information before making investment decisions".

"When the KLCI registers a 10-percent drop from the previous day’s closing level, the circuit breaker is automatically triggered."

The one-hour break is to allow a 'cooling-off' period.
However, as investors unloaded local stocks, credit-rating agencies Fitch and Moody’s maintained their sovereign ratings on Malaysia.

Despite acknowledging that the level of political uncertainty in the country had increased, the agencies said the economy is still on solid ground.
