Ex-Top Cop's RM47m Estate.

A former deputy IGP who died in September left RM47m in property and savings.

His son and brother are fighting over his estate in the court.

Tan Sri Jaafar Abdul (who was 77 when he died on Sept 1 at the Gleneagles Hospital after massive upper gastronomical bleeding) left RM37.3m in savings and RM9.7m in property.

The NST has the story on page one today.

Here's an excerpt:

"Jeffri Jaafar, son of Tan Sri Jaafar Abdul, obtained an interim order against Ahmad Bedul in the Syariah Court in Muar on Nov 4 to freeze all moveable properties of his father until a decision by the court".

Jeffri, 39, wants Ahmad's bank accounts frozen and an order that financial insitutions, inclduing Lembaga Urusan Tabung Haji, permodalan Nasional Bhd Bursa Malaysia and enforcement agencies, adhere to the syariah court order.

He also wants Islamic religious enforcement agencies, the police , the court and other relevant departments to help him enforce the order.
"

The court will be hearing the case on Monday (Dec 7).

I've been made to understand that Ahmad, 70, is the late Jaafar's only surviving brother. Jaafar's own wife, a Brunei Chinese died earlier (in 1987). Jeffri is the couple's only child.

I've also been told that a chunk of the estate is family inheritance (harta pesaka) as the late Jaafar's mother was from the Muar landed gentry and his father from Brunei.
After retirement he went into corporate life. He also led a frugal life and was a shrewd and conservative investor.

Mmm? 47M? Were his families rich?

If it was family inheritance, then let leave his family alone.

In the end it's earth to earth, dust to dust.

Such fortune is no good to the dead and makes the living fight over it. Didn't they learn anything from the Prophet (pbuh)?

Perhaps Abu Kassim, the new MACC chief can help the late Deputy IGP clear his name. If he can do a transparent investigation and inform the public, it would help. Generally, Malaysians are prepared to give the benefit of the doubt to the accused. RM47M is indeed a very big sum even if he was a frugal person and who had inherited most of it. The fact that he was a top cop, draws our keen interest to know. So, pls Abu Kassim, help us all in this matter.
Cheers

47k...sikit jer tu... mengingatkan kita supaya beramal dan bersedekah pada orang lain...

tapi aku kesian kat orang yang mempunyai hati busuk, prasangka buruk, banyak buat fitnah, suka cari kesalahan orang lain menyangka yang bukan2 dengan jumlah sebanyak itu...
semoga mereka berubah.
