I am sure Concern is right, but when an officer get jailed for doing his job…..
a. how do you sign a check with no funds?
b. 24 days have gone and he is still in jail
Surely the Board can act much more swiftly than that!
Is there more to this than meet the eye?

Concern has some valid points and I appreciate his apprehension, but….
Why do we feel that we have to tip toe around senior management or board members as though they are some kind of holy sacraments. Are they or their egos that fragile? They don’t mind their picture being put on glossy annual reports. Why should this be different? To me they (all of them, not one or two) should be the first to be put on the line if even a whiff of something not right happens. After all, it comes with the turf – and the gleaming mercs, beemers, perquisites, no? Or would we rather keep subscribing to the notion that the foot soldiers should always take the rap while kudos are reserved for management and board.
As to generalising not being helpful? Helpful to what? How much time do we need? Already that guy has been languishing in jail for quite some time. Lets not perpetuate this Malaysian malaise of always needing more time, be given a chance to settle down, to warm up. Heck even the chief CEO of this country pleaded warming up after two years in his seat.
That some “individuals are already very much not favored by leadership’s management circle” is a lame excuse for letting someone down the line take the heat for the organization. When your man is down, nothing else matters. Just get him out. Especially if he got into trouble because of your questionable operating procedures.

I absolutely agree with you Mindspring and Bojangles.
It is not about tip toeing around senior management and the board. In the case of this 1 or 2 individual who is trying their sincere best, it is actually going against a brick wall. It is up to the management, leadership and the board to act immediately.
Notwithstanding this, this 1 or 2 individuals are exhausting all avenues I was informed, to help out in their own capacity that includes informing the independent directors the other side of the story, indirectly/discreetly managing the people that are handling this issue to at least put pressure to push for urgency in resolving this matter. These are the same individuals that are risking their job and do what ever is possible not only to get Zainal out but also to clear his name.
Then again what has been presented to the Board by the management to this day could be questioned. It is unlikely that the Board would take this matter so lightly and slowly if the facts of the matter were presented fairly.
I believe there is more than meets the eye, definitely. Is there basis for the company to prolong this matter, increasing the suffering of zainal and his family or is this a convenient way to find a fall guy?
What is the actually issue here? If money is the issue (as widely reported in the press lately), then someone should at least be straight with zainal’s family instead of providing misleading or false hope.
Bottom line is, this is intolerable.

My apologies, Mindspring, for this tenuous link with the topic at hand. But, I believe there is a message in here somewhere. I would like to call it Blue Collar vs White Collar.
A county garbage operations employee in Florida found a plastic bag on the road stuffed with $65,000 on Thursday — and immediately turned it in to authorities.
The 53-year-old woman found the bag full of enough $50 and $100 bills to pay her salary for two years. She immediately contacted a supervisor, who called the police.
The lady, Cole, said she was raised to be honest and raised her four daughters the same way. Did she think for just a minute about keeping the money?
“Everyone keeps asking me that,” Cole said. “To be honest, no. It didn’t even cross my mind.”
Now, switch to…..
A former economist pleaded guilty on Friday for his role in swindling investors out of an estimated $90 million.
Al Parish, 50, admitted to two counts of fraud and lying to investigators.
Prosecutors claimed that Parish, defrauded about 500 people through his investment company.
Much of the $90 million taken was spent on his lavish lifestyle, which included a half-dozen homes, customized cars, garish clothing, fine art and diamond-encrusted pens, authorities said.
…..makes you wonder about all those blue suited, pin striped, necktied, buttoned-down types.

Whilst on the surface it appears that resolving the matter quickly is not forthcoming, it is nevertheless an unfair statement to generalise that the lack of prompt action is the result of the entire management and the Board. It is unfortunate that the view presented by Mssrs Mindspring reflects as such.
From the information obtained, there is one or two from the management that is sincerely pushing this matter to be settled and defended not only Zainal Adnan in the company but also highlighting from the beginning the seriousness of this matter and the impact it has on the reputation & operations of PECD if this matter is not resolved the soonest possible.
Generalising and listing the who’s who in PECD in this manner is not at all helping. In fact it may further demoralised the very individuals that is fighting for this matter to be handled righteously and swiftly. This same individuals are already very much not favored by leadership’s management circle.
