Fauzi To Submit Resignation Letter Friday
KUANTAN, March 30 (Bernama) -- State Assemblyman
for Beserah Datuk Fauzi Abdul Rahman will
submit his letter of resignation to vacate his
state assembly seat to Pahang Umno Liaison chairman
Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob later Friday.
Fauzi, 55, said he decided to vacate the Beserah
state assembly seat after the majority of the
Umno branches in Beserah did not nominate him to
defend the post of Kuantan Umno division head in
the party election next month.
"This means that there are Umno branches in
Beserah which have rejected my leadership. When
Umno branches in Beserah have rejected me, it
implies that they don't endorse what I have done for
the constituency and reject my services or what
I have done," he said at a media conference after
meeting Adnan at the Menteri Besar's official
residence, here.
It is learnt that Fauzi's decision to tender his
resignation letter was made after he was said to have
failed to obtain at least 13 nominations from
the 65 Umno branches in the Kuantan division to enable
him to defend his post as the division head.
A candidate must garner 20 per cent nominations
from the total number of branches in the division
to enable him to contest for the post of
division head.
According to the Kuantan Umno division office,
Fauzi had so far managed to secure only nine
nominations to contest for the post of Kuantan
Umno head while Kuantan vice-head Datuk Faisal
Abdullah received 29 nominations and deputy head
Datuk Wan Adnan Wan Mamat had 20
nominations.
Fauzi felt that the move not to nominate him to
defend his post would only be to the detriment of
the people of Beserah as they had an assemblyman
whom they could not accept while he was
wasting his time doing work which was not
acceptable to the constituents.
"On this basis, I feel it's better for me to
step down as the assemblyman for Beserah, unless there
is
an investigation by the authorities and it is
found that there are other elements involved such as
corruption and so on.
"If the Beserah Umno reject me because of my
inadequacy, they will only be wasting their time in
having a state assemblyman who is not compatible
or not bringing any benefit to them," he said.
On his meeting with Adnan, who is also Pahang
Menteri Besar, Fauzi said he was called up by Adnan
to seek clarification on rumours that he was
leaving Umno.
He said he held the principle that "he rose
through Umno. When I rise through Umno...it is Umno
that
will decide my position."
Fauzi said his resignation letter had been
prepared and according to procedure, as a state
assemblyman he must submit it to the State Umno
Liaison chairman.
Asked why he had not lodged a report with the
Umno Disciplinary Committee, he said he was not the
type who liked to complain, on the contrary he
preferred to make a police report which he described
as "the first of many."
He referred to the police report which he made
at the Kuantan District Police Headquarters at about
3pm on Wednesday against Umno secretary-general
Tan Sri Khalil Yaakob whom he alleged had been
involved with misappropriation of state
resources when he was the Pahang Menteri Besar.
He said he reported the matter to the police
because what he reported had nothing to do with the
party, on the contrary, it concerned state
resources.
"After 1 year and 2 months (of being a state
assemblyman) I know what the rakyat feel and what
the rakyat have been deprieved of. As a state
assemblyman, I was involved with the state
administration and I feel the acts
(misappropriation) were detrimental (to the people),"
he said.
In his police report, Fauzi claimed that Khalil,
who is also the member of parliament for Kuantan, had
committed malpractices while he was Pahang
Menteri Besar, including awarding timber concessions
in a manner which was not according to
procedure.
"His actions had affected state resources and
the cash flow of the present state government. It
also denied the people in the Beserah state
constituency and the people in the state of Pahang of
their rights to receive their proper
allocation," he said.
Khalil was the Pahang Menteri Besar for 13 years
since 1986 before being made Information Minister
upon winning the Kuantan parliamentary seat
during the last general election.
Pahang Police Chief Datuk Mohd Noor Hamat
confirmed that police had received the report.
Meanwhile, Adnan said that he could not make any
comment as he had yet to see the contents of
the letter.
However, he said if he did receive the letter,
he would make a study based on certain reports
whether the number of nominations received by
Fauzi truly reflected that his leadership was being
rejected.
"We must look into the matter because from the
reports we received so far, Datuk Fauzi had
discharged his responsibilities excellently as
the Beserah assemblyman. As the MB, I am very
satisfied with his performance," he said.
He said the matter would be forwarded to Umno
president Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad to arrive
at a common decision.
He said he would make his recommendations to Dr
Mahathir to consider in case it was found that the
constituents in Beserah still required Fauzi's
services.
When asked for his decision upon receiving the
resignation letter, Adnan said he could not decide
immediately as he had to give time to Fauzi, at
least for a "cooling off period".
