Tan Sri Halim Saad's Weekend Marriage Legal In Malaysia? The Renong chairman, Tan Sri Halim Saad, married the niece of the finance minister's new kid on the corporate block, in a glittering wedding in Singapore over the weekend. Bolehland's best and brightest turned up for the glittering show that one comes to expect when corporate tycoons running away from their bankers decide to take a new wife. Which is exactly what Tan Sri Halim did. Renong is a leading Malaysian conglomerate in more ways than one: it is officially favoured, it has debts it cannot repay, but it continues to get contracts galore from a grateful government -- it has just got a contract to build a dam in Singapore. But its corporate jets have disappeared, and money does not flow like water any more, it is more like urine flowing from one suffering from prostate problems. The grand show put on for the wedding served more than one purpose: besides the uniting of lovebirds after the Tan Sri's messy divorce in which his ex-wife wants to take him to the cleaners, it is also a warning and signal to those who have doubts about the long term viability of Renong and its sister-company, UEM, that all is well. But reading through the press reports about the wedding, one thing struck me. There is no mention anywhere in these reports of his marriage under shariah laws. The impression one gets -- and I showed the reports to several Muslim friends -- is that it is a civil wedding. With the Prime Minister insisting in his speeches around the country that PAS is not Islamic, how could such a wedding take place without paying homage to Islam as the country's official religion? Unless, of course, the Muslim ceremony took place in Malaysia. As far as I know, that did not take place. I could, of course, be mistaken. But given the high prominence of the wedding in Singapore, it is fair to assume that a similar wedding in Malaysia would have been as high profile. The Prime Minister, who dismissed a deputy prime minister because he believed he went against Muslim sensibilities, cannot have this become an electoral issue. When I called a PAS ulamak friend to check on this, it was he who raised the question before I did. This means that until and unless Tan Sri Halim Saad comes clean and is unequivocal about his Muslim marriage, the fallout would be worse than his messy divorce from his first wife. In the highest reaches of Bolehland's corporate and political world, marriages are made not in heaven but in bank and corporate parlours. Tan Sri Halim, 45, married a Singapore lawyer working in Malaysia, Shaesta Said, who is 25 or 29 (depending on whether you want to believe AFP or Bernama), a niece of Dato' Akhbar Khan, the latest entrant in the highstakes contest to acquire the most debt in the shortest possible time. He is one of three parties attempting to take control of the CLOB Malaysian shares, which fell foul of the KLSE's re-registering them. Tan Sri Halim is chairman of the Renong-UEM combine which with Telekoms is the third entrant. Given the way these things work in Bolehland, the Prime Minister is outclassed in this affair. Both Tan Sri Halim and Dato' Akhbar Khan are acolytes of the Penghulu; while the second of the three proposals is submitted by Tengku Abdullah, whose relationship with the Prime Minister is well known; unless he can come with a brighter plan, the Pengulu now marches ahead in the grand plan to acquire the suspended Malaysian shares. The arrogance with which these things are conducted is the stuff of Bolehland legend. Tan Sri Halim Saad must come clean on the status of his Muslim marriage, where it was held and when. Especially when it is the official view in Malaysia that a marriage between Muslims, one of whom is a Malaysian, overseas is not recognised unless it is conducted according to Muslim rites.
Halam Saad Gagal Dalam Kes Rayuan Saman RM1.8 Bilion PUTRAJAYA: Hartawan Tan Sri Halim Saad gagal dalam rayuannya untuk mengembalikan semula saman RM1.8 bilion yang difailkan terhadap Khazanah Nasional Berhad dan dua yang lain berhubung penyelesaian untuk melepaskan pegangan dalam Renong Berhad. Tiga anggota panel Mahkamah Rayuan yang dipengerusikan Hakim Datuk Zaharah Ibrahim sebulat suara menolak rayuan Halim yang difailkan dalam usaha untuk menukar keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi yang membatalkan samannya terhadap tiga responden. Kami dapati kesimpulan yang dibuat Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi bahawa dakwaan plaintif (Halim) jelas tidak mapan atas alasan tempoh had masa telah ditetapkan dan persetujuan dan penyelesaian, adalah betul," katanya. Hakim Zaharah yang bersidang dengan Hakim Datuk Mah Weng Kwai dan Datuk Varghese George Varughese, memerintahkan Halim untuk membayar kos perundangan RM25,000 kepada Khazanah dan RM25,000 lagi kepada bekas menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop dan kerajaan. Pada 31 Oktober, 2013, Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi Datuk Hanipah Farikullah membenarkan permohonan yang dibawa oleh Khazanah, Nor Mohamed Yakcop dan kerajaan untuk membatalkan saman Halim memandangkan ia (saman itu) difailkan selepas tempoh had masa enam bulan berakhir seperti yang ditetapkan mengikut Akta Had Masa 1953. Bekas pengerusi eksekutif Renong Bhd itu memfailkan saman terhadap Khazanah, Nor Mohamad Yakcop dan kerajaan pada 17 April 2013 bagi menuntut semula pampasan lebih RM1.8 bilion kerana menjual kepentingannya dalam syarikat. Dalam pernyataan tuntutan, Halim berkata pada 2001 beliau memiliki 372,000,000 saham berjumlah hampir 16 peratus daripada modal terbitan dan berbayar Renong, menjadikan beliau pemegang saham individu terbesar Renong. Beliau berkata pada November 2002, Nor Mohamed dilantik sebagai pengarah Khazanah dan pada bila-bila masa yang penting, Renong memegang kepentingan besar dalam modal terbitan dan berbayar sebuah syarikat dikenali sebagai United Engineers (M) Bhd (UEM). Halim mendakwa beliau dipujuk oleh Nor Mohamed selaku wakil kerajaan agar beliau menerima tawaran itu dan melepaskan Renong dan UEM. Beliau menuntut RM1.3 bilion, ganti rugi am bagi pelanggaran pemilikan Renong, serta RM508 juta bagi nilai modal berbayar Kualiti Alam Sdn Bhd untuk penyelesaian kerugian yang dialaminya untuk menyelamatkan Kumpulan Fleet dan ganti rugi bagi salah nyata fraud.
Tan Sri Halim Saad If 2002 was Tan Sri Tajudin Ramli’s year, then 2001 was definitely Tan Sri Halim Saad’s. The two are widely believed to have been part of a cadre of young-ish bumiputera entrepreneurs nurtured by former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin in the 1980s.
Both, and others, including Tan Sri Wan Azmi Wan Hamzah, could do no wrong in the roaring 1990s, when they took the groups they founded, TRI (Tajudin), UEM-Renong (Halim), Land and General (Wan Azmi) to heights undreamt of until then.
All, to a man, were laid low by the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s. Halim struggled to recapitalise and refocus UEM-Renong but the markets were not in his favour the second time around.
He had been luckier before. But some critics would say he is luckier than he should be. The new management and owners of UEM-Renong, namely the government, do not seem to be as diligent as they could be in pursuing the repayment of Halim’s now infamous put. He had first granted the put in 1998 to allay market ire over UEM purchasing Renong shares, an action that created a frowned-upon cross holding.
Still, Halim felt enough about what he thought was Renong’s irrational private placement of shares to raise RM400 million (which would have diluted his minority shareholding) to come out publicly. In the event, Renong’s proposal passed without undue opposition even as Halim sells shares to “repay debt”, say market sources.
But perhaps the more magnanimous might care to say it is better to say “live and let live”. Halim will turn 50 next year. For half his life, he had worked to build a group of companies which now reach into almost every facet of Malaysian life. UEM-Renong group employs over 40,000 people, has over 500 companies, including 13 listed ones.
Halim also went through a rather messy divorce from his first wife Puan Sri Noraini Zolkifli in the late 1990s but seems to have rebuilt his personal life with his second wife Shaesta Said, a niece of entrepreneur Akbar Khan Ali Khan.
By all accounts, the man is also rebuilding his business. He is said to be eyeing real estate in India, among other ventures.
His Mid Valley Megamall office is more spacious and airy than his formerly cramped space in the MACOBA building in Jalan Syed Putra, though not quite what one could call “luxurious”.
And though he may be in the midst of reinventing himself, like Tajudin, unlike Tajudin, Halim has never been known to be “a humble man”.
