Soh Chee Wen unmasked
genesis
Soh Chee Wen, if you have any shred of decency, of humanity, left in
you, please stop.
Your actions have soiled the name of the Soh clan. How can we face our
neighbours, friends and relatives in Batu Pahat anymore?
Over the years you have systematically abused the family name through
countless shady dealings and underhand transactions, so much so that
your victims have no recourse but to petition to the Courts to summon
you and issue bankruptcy notices against you (over 600 at last count).
If you yourself have no shame, then spare a thought for the rest of us
Sohs. We are not filthy rich like you, for we are poor but we are proud.
If we have only one thing of value, it is our name.
Now your victims curse the name “Soh.”
Your latest actions have gone too far. It is bad enough you are doing it
to your own family but now you are dragging the names of innocent people
into the mud along with ours. How can you sleep at night after making
false allegations and telling lies against people who have trusted you?
But this is not the first time for you, is it? Since young, you have
always been a pathological liar.
I am not one for hanging dirty laundry out in public but if the world
needs to be told just what manner of beast you are, then so be it. What
more can already dirty the name “Soh”?
1. The Young Viper
Soh Chee Wen is not even a true member of the Soh clan. Then, who is the
real “Soh Chee Wen”? (From now I shall refer to this venomous snake as
SCW.)
He is the illegitimate son of a kept woman. His father, a kind and
gentle man, was honourable enough to bestow upon him the treasured
family name, not wanting SCW to grow up as a bastard. (Unfortunately
that didn’t work because everyone now is calling him that.)
His father did not suspect how much anguish, pain and suffering this son
of his was going to cause. We accepted him as one of our own. He grew up
with us, ate with us, played with us and went to school with us. Little
did we know we were habouring a viper in our bosom.
At age seven, he was already showing signs of what he was destined to
be: a thief and a liar. Ten sen, twenty sen, fifty sen…all would
disappear “mysteriously” from our drawers, savings and piggy banks.
Later, bigger sums would go missing, from his father’s wallet to his
mother’s purse. SCW would be placed at the scene of the crime but he
always had an excuse or story to wriggle his way out of the situation.
For a while his parents believed him. Until he got caught red-handed one
day. Then, his father had no choice but to punish him.
If we hoped that would beat some sense and decency into him, we were
sadly mistaken.
He took his bad habits with him to school. Already skilled at telling
lies and manipulating people, he began cheating his classmates. The sums
ranged from a few ringgit to hundreds of ringgit. The figures may seem
small to some, but for a young schoolboy, the sum is enormous. As usual,
his long-suffering father had to clear his debts and try to redress the
damage done to his victims.
At age sixteen, SCW had to audacity to go to his uncle’s house to borrow
money. He said he needed RM200.00 because his father was sick and
desperately needed the money for an operation. Believing his lies
totally, the uncle gave it to him. Our family never lived down the
humiliation when the truth came out.
Since young, he has always been obsessed with money. Even when he had a
lot of it, it was never enough. He wanted more and more. Never mind if
it was obtained in a deceitful manner, just as long as he got what he
wanted. It only goes to show that he is not only a pathological liar,
but a pathological thief as well. With hundreds of millions already
stashed away in private bank accounts, more than he can ever spend in
ten lifetimes, he still remains greedy for more. So greedy that he is
willing to lie, cheat and steal to achieve his ends.
What kind of man is that?
With numerous complaints and irate victims knocking on our door almost
daily, SCW’s father finally could not take it any longer. He disowned
him and chased him out of our house. (I actually felt sorry for him
then.)
But he had his revenge on us.
At his father’s funeral last year, he came seeking reconciliation with
the family. We thought, “let bygones be bygones.” Like fools, we allowed
him to help organise the funeral arrangements. Because of his position
as a MCA leader, there were lots of MCA supporters and other political
leaders attending the funeral. They all passed to him the traditional
“white packets” of condolence money which was supposed to go towards the
funeral preparations, and the sums given were quite substantial. But the
family never even saw one single sen. Later we found out that he had
taken the money to buy shares. SCW also commissioned a condolence
advertisement that ran in the newspapers, but until today, has yet to
pay the suppliers for the job done.
He saved the final twist of the knife for last.
With a friend along, SCW went to purchase a coffin for his late father.
At the shop, he said that he didn’t have any money with him, could his
friend pay for the coffin first, then later SCW will pay him back. Long
after the funeral, we were shocked and speechless to discover he had not
paid his friend back yet. He knowingly let his poor father be buried in
a borrowed coffin.
Tell me, what kind of man is he?
2. The Business Cheat
SCW claimed to have gone to Universiti Malaya. And he also claimed to
have left UM before graduating - to fulfill his lifelong ambition of
becoming a businessman. But what most people didn’t know is that he
flunked out because his results were so bad. The irony of the whole
thing is that he paid other students to complete his assignments for
him, and even cheating in his exams didn’t help.
In 1985, he started his first business venture, W.W. Wings, with a few
partners. True to form, the cheating began. He was soon charged in court
for swindling people of their money.
In the first case he cheated one Larry Lim Koh Keong of RM22,300 with a
“project” that never materialised. Next, he conned Yeo Thiam Hock out of
RM46,280 by promising a franchise for materials that never existed.
Thirdly, he swindled RM27,949 from Lee Tai Wah by letting him believe he
would get the “Jumbo Chips” franchise.
It is also interesting to note that in the space of just a few years
(from 1985-1990), there were four separate bankruptcy notices served
against SCW and three police reports made against him under the charges
of cheating.
What kind of “legitimate” businessman is this?
SCW was also notorious for not paying his rentals, to the point that his
landlords had to threaten legal action and resort to cutting off the
utilities to get what was owed to them.
Worse off were his suppliers, of whom many had to suffer the bitterness
of bankruptcy because he did not pay them their dues. Tragically, one of
them even committed suicide because of bad debts, courtesy of Dato’ Soh
Chee Wen.
This was not the only blood on his hands. He used a friend, Robert Teoh
from Klang, to stand as a nominee for him. When the loyal Teoh pressed
for payment on company debts incurred by SCW’s manipulative schemes, he
was given the runaround. Time finally ran out for Teoh. Desperate, with
his back to the wall and creditors all around him, Teoh took his own
life.
And in the recent Omega Securities debacle, the shadow of SCW loomed
large and long. In his greed, he stripped the once healthy company to
the bone, sold off everything, took not just the investors money but
also the remisiers’ deposits as well. That drove a lot of them to
bankruptcy, and again, another innocent victim took his own life.
His tactic of stripping a company of their assets is not something new.
He did that to Lakeview Club when he took over the place. What was
siphoned off? Membership fees, club funds and even the slot machine
takings, too.
Anyone remember the ‘Gold Mountain Business Club’ in Yow Chuan Plaza?
That was another ill-fated venture by SCW. Reveling in his
self-proclaimed title of “The King of Clubs”, SCW enticed a number of
investors to sink RM800,000 each into the club. Of course, nobody ever
saw the money again. The club folded when the landlord, Yow Chuan Plaza,
chased SCW out for non-payment of rental.
Like what he did to us, the Soh family, SCW must have his revenge.
Using a crony from Hong Kong as a frontman, he approached Yow Chuan
Plaza with intentions of renting an outlet to sell “timber products”.
Once the deal was signed, SCW opened a coffin shop, much to the shock
and horror of the Plaza management. Faced with mounting protest from
their tenants and the spectre of financial loss looming, the Plaza
management had no choice but to give in to SCW’s demands and pay him an
exhorbitant sum to close the shop.
Tell me if this is not tantamount to extortion and blackmail.
Another favourite frontman of SCW is Amin Shah. With strong connections
to certain UMNO politicians, he and SCW started pillaging and plundering
the corporate scene. Now we know how SCW can get the huge loans and
credit lines so easily.
With this kind of big money behind him, SCW now began cheating on a
scale that boggles the mind. SCW began to “act on the behalf” of Tun
Daim, Dato Ling and even the Deputy PM himself. His favourite charade
would be to pretend to be on the phone with “Tun Daim” or “Dato Ling” or
“Anwar” in front of his investors, using these names to cow them into
submission.
This fake acting only served to fuel his twisted ego. Now, his arrogance
knows no bounds with him believing himself to above the law. In the
Autoways AGM, he brought in his own “shareholders” to vote for him,
which resulted in him getting more than 110% votes! At the same time, he
also brought as many as 30 gangsters along to intimidate the other
legitimate shareholders, as well as to block his main opponent, Danny
Tan.
Are there any other sins that we have left out?
Of course, bribery.
In the BCV Bank case, he used it to great effect. He managed to sway the
BCV fund managers to use their investors’ money (which was supposed to
be deposited in a Swiss Bank) to ram the market. With a 25-30% cut of
the profits dangling in front of them, needless to say, the fund
managers didn’t need much persuasion.
Again, using the tactic of bribery, SCW slowly and systematically bought
over the Managing Director of HLG Securites, a local brokerage. With a
promise of a cut of the profits and a job in one of SCW’s companies, the
MD gave out huge lines of credit which SCW used to ram the market.
Fortunately, the chairman of HLG found out and terminated the services
of the MD within 24 hours.
Another case involved Kevin Wallace from Merrill Lynch. Instead of
helping push Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew’s Country Heights shares up to RM25,
SCW in cohorts with Wallace took the shares and used it to ram the
market. Eventually, the shares “disappeared’. No one could fault Tan Sri
Lee if he wanted to kill SCW.
In fact, that incident scared SCW badly enough that he built a secret
double basement in the house of his mistress in Kelana Jaya (facing the
Subang Golf Club), so that he could hide from the wrath of his victims.
It only goes to show the extent of his guilt, for an innocent man would
not hide from anyone.
In the UCB affair, SCW sweet-talked 10 prominent businessmen into
parting with RM4 million each to buy the shares at the low price of RM5.
He convinced them that they would make a killing when the shares went up
to RM15-RM20.
With their RM40 million in hand, SCW went to market. But when the shares
hit the targetted RM16, SCW gave the excuse to his investors that he
“could not sell.” In the end, the shares dropped to RM3-RM4. In reality,
he had already sold the shares and deposited the money into a Swiss
bank. Of course, there wasn’t much of a confrontation as the businessmen
were afraid the Securities Commission would notice their illegal
escapade.
Not that anything would come out of the Securities Commission against
SCW, for he had already paid off two officers there (Chelvam and Malek)
RM1 million each to “close their eyes.”
Now SCW has set his sights on Reka Pacific (formerly Berjaya
Industrial). When Vincent Tan refused to sell to him, SCW roped in Ling
Hee Liong to act as his frontman. Being only 25 years old, the young and
inexperienced Ling agreed, since he would be getting a stake in the
company in return. Little did Ling Hee Liong know that he was swimming
with a shark. (The late Robert Teoh of Klang could have told him.)
After the takeover of Reka Pac and unknown to all, SCW quietly proceeded
to siphon out RM750 million, using extracts of company resolutions.
Some of the money was used to ram the share market, while RM500 million
was put into BCV Bank to cover SCW’s losses there.
Eventually the actual company resolutions had to be signed. When he saw
the unexplained disappearance of RM750 million, Ling Hee Liong refused
to sign. Using his favourite tactic of bribery, SCW tried to buy Ling’s
silence with a RM100 million carrot. But Ling steadfastly refused and
went on record to say that he was willing to face the music rather than
cheat the public.
SCW’s modus operandi has always been quite clear. Go in quick, take
control of the company, strip and siphon off everything, then move on.
In the case of Peristima, the modus operandi was the same as Reka Pac.
SCW only paid 10% of the shares but took control of the board. He then
siphoned off RM400 million to finance his ventures and cover his losses
elsewhere. That nearly bankrupted the company.
In the case of Autoways, he pushed the company to the brink of
insolvency using the same tactic as before. When suppliers chased for
payment, he would tell them to collect from “Tun Daim”. Failing which he
would hire gangsters with guns to scare off the more persistent
creditors.
In the case of Promet, Price Waterhouse, the respected auditing company,
did an audit in 1997. They discovered that the accounts were in
disarray, with several sections not balancing properly. In the end, the
auditors found a few hundred million ringgit missing without a trace.
SCW the magician had done it again. The question left on everyone’s lips
were: why did SCW pay over RM7 million in lawyers fees? And for what
purpose?
3. The Manipulitician
Even at the age of 21, SCW saw the opportunity in politics to make money
through manipulation.
He joined the MCA under the wings of Lee Kim Sai. From all reports, he
was the prime instigator in getting Lee to challenge Dato Ling Liong
Sik. But when he saw that Dato Ling was winning, he immediately switched
camps.
He eventually took over PJ Utara. He used his brother-in-law and Philip
Ho to control the branches there by using ‘money politics’ – ie. bribing
the members. It was noted that SCW also had the most ‘phantom members’
under him.
He soon turned his greedy eyes to PJ Selatan and saw that he could also
control it. By using false documents and statistics, he conned the MCA
Headquarters into believing that he had overwhelming support in the
area. Thus SCW managed to take over the area, outmaneuvering the
incumbent MP of PJ Selatan, Donald Lim, who in actual fact had more than
80% support.
He basically cheated his way up the hierachy of the MCA. He linked up
with Lee Hua Beng of Subang, who benefitted greatly on their MPPJ land
deals together.
But thankfully, a lot of the leaders saw through him and refused to have
any dealings with him. His shady character was evidently his downfall
during his first time out when contesting for the MP’s post. He lost to
the DAP when they pointed out his cheating nature to the voters.
Unfortunately for some, it was too late. For example, his own political
followers discovered that following SCW has a bitter price. He used 50
of his own people as nominees for various shady deals, of which the
majority of them were left holding the bag, while SCW got away
scot-free. Recently, the Securities Commission quizzed one of his
nominees, Kok, who owes RM50 million in a deal gone sour.
If SCW is the “legitimate businessman” he claims himself to be, then why
does he hide behind nominees?
By now it’s quite clear that I have established SCW’s vindictive nature.
He never forgave Ling Hee Liong for confronting him on the Reka Pac
affair. It’s obvious that he set a trap for him.
Question: if Ling Hee Liong had anything to hide, would he have
willingly opened himself for investigation? (He may have been a little
foolish – falling for SCW’s sweet-talk – but unlike the others, at least
this young man is brave enough to stand up to SCW.)
When Ling Hee Liong made his police report about the Reka Pac cheating
case, SCW tried to use his business and political connections to try and
squash it. Even SCW cronies like Lee Hua Beng, came to “patch things
up”. But to no avail.
Finally, we shall see justice being done.
And about time, too, for the long-suffering Soh clan.

Hi Genesis. Some people say that most businessmen get carried away by
Richard Gere's character in Pretty Woman and Michael Douglas's Gecko in
Wall Street and they are still stuck with those two characters even
until now.
And some say, those who employ bodyguards are actually those who have a
"lot of things to hide".
There's a Malay proverb: " A clever and agile monkey who can outperform
George Of The Jungle anytime, will eventually one day fall to the ground
like a Jackfruit ". :-)

Ha, soh's father was a cheap prick that's why he has a mistress. To make a
long satory short, the soh named was already tarnished long before SCW was
born.

And if the Malays are given a chance, the Chinese won't have anything to do.
What has the Indonesian riots got to do with the local Chinese here? Are you
intent on starting one here as well?
Attacking the Chinese in general through your statement here is totally
uncalled for and shows what a racist pig you are.
C'ya!

even worse than a racist. So I think datuk Maharaja Lela is slightly better
than Soh Chee Wen.

Can't agree anymore than this. It seems racial issues here are most commonly
and usually touched by so-called 'pribumis' who ask chinese here to go back to
their tongkangs and back to china. Don't they realise that their palce of
origin is INDONESIA???!!!
