tim bueler ( born 1987 ) is a media and political consultant and is currently serving as the director of media relations for the minuteman project , an immigration reform advocacy group .

radio station klav in las vegas , briefly aired “ tim bueler ’s conservative report ” .

bueler spoke about current issues and offered advice to callers .

bueler traveled to kenya with his media client , jerome corsi , to launch corsi 's book " the obama nation " which alleges secret ties between barack obama and kenyan leaders .

bueler and corsi were detained on october 7 , 2008 , by kenyan immigration officials and police just before the commencement of a press conference .

they were eventually deported .

tim bueler <EOT> tim bueler , like many cocksure 17 - year - olds , is strident in expressing his political beliefs .

tim bueler recently received some unusual advice : his principal and a campus police officer suggested that he stay home from his california high school for a few days .

in a telephone interview , tim said he’s been threatened at least three times by hispanic students who call him “white boy” and “racist . ” one boy said he was going to “find someone” to beat up tim .

" from the beginning , " said alton , who played on local softball teams with bueler ' s father , " most of us have defended the right of the club to exist . no one has denied tim bueler ' s right to his opinions . "

about 15 minutes before the news conference was set to begin , kenyan immigration authorities questioned corsi and his u . s . media liaison , tim bueler . officials said corsi and bueler lacked work permits and the two were escorted into a police vehicle and whisked way .

in two of those instances , tim said two faculty members stood by and did nothing to help him . most recently , tim said , he was confronted by a dozen hispanic boys , who blocked him from walking down the hallway .

tim admitted that his zeal sometimes gets the best of him . he apologized for the “muhammad” remark , saying , “i made a mistake , but i’m not racist . ” club adviser bernadette tucker stepped down after tim printed the newsletter without allowing her to edit it first .

earlier , he said he was eating lunch in a classroom when about seven hispanic students surrounded him . worried for tim’s safety , his father , dennis bueler , said he asked for help from a teacher who was also in the room .

tim thought about leaving the school , located in rohnert park about an hour north of san francisco , and then made his decision : no way .

tim said teachers have also joined in the name - calling . one called tim a nazi , while another described the club as “a bunch of bigots . ” in a parody of the newsletter , biology teacher mark alton called on students to “take a stand against the neoconservative wing - nuts who call themselves americans . ”

bueler was particularly pleased by a dec . 30 washington times article detailing his claims of harassment by staff and students .

“they said , ‘it’s in your best interest not to go to school , ’” tim said . “i said , ‘well , why ? what have i done wrong ? ’”

nonetheless , the school has not silenced bueler , who started the club - - which now claims 50 members - - last fall .

dear tim bueler : i have asked you to delete me from your mailing list . i have pressed the “unsubscribe” button from your mailings , almost all touting lunatic conservatives like jerome corsi and other questionable clients . i have asked you to stop sending me your press releases multiple times , over the course of months–and still , you send them .

two days later , an anonymous teacher drafted a response proposing a " liberal hot line , " which parodied the tone of bueler ' s missive .

mr . alton said he was also disturbed by tim’s article on illegal immigration , which says , “liberals welcome every muhammad , jamul and jose who wishes to leave his third world state and come to america . ”

bueler is delighted by all the attention . in an interview at his family home while his father , dennis , a telephone company technician , looked on proudly , bueler ticked off the dozen or so radio and television talk shows that have featured his case , including those hosted by limbaugh and dr . laura schlessinger .

they feared for his safety because tim , the founder of rancho cotate high school’s new conservative club , said he had received threats from other students after writing an article for the club newsletter calling for a crackdown on illegal immigration .

corsi was detained for about 4 1 / 2 hours before he was expelled . immigration officials said the author did not have a proper permit to work in kenya . but corsi ' s publicist , tim bueler , told time that they were assured their visas and passports were in order . corsi said he had been upfront about his intentions when he arrived . according to corsi and bueler , the author was told that the government had misplaced their immigration cards , which visitors fill out upon arrival at the nairobi airport . " dr . corsi can return to kenya anytime , " said bueler . " they said our passports were o . k . and our visas were o . k . , but they had lost our immigration cards . "

things could have stopped there , but backing off , apparently , isn ' t in bueler ' s nature . so , a week later , he fired off another newsletter .

they paint bueler as a patriotic hero who stood up to howling liberal hypocrites trying to stifle his voice and trod upon the traditional american values he was bravely trying to uphold .

a good deal of the verbal pyrotechnics have come from bueler ' s hero , ultra - conservative radio personality michael savage , as well as internet pundits and the right - leaning washington times .

as a result of the national attention , carter , a 51 - year - old boston native , said he has received " thousands " of e - mails , including some that have compared him to osama bin laden and other villains . most of the criticism centers on carter ' s suggestion in december that bueler go home for a several - day " cooling - off period " after some students confronted bueler , calling him a " nazi " and inviting him outside for a fight . bueler declined the offer to leave , a stand that has won him praise in conservative circles .

since the beginning of january , bueler has been escorted by an adult school official to and from every class and to his father ' s car at the end of the day . the precaution was ordered by the school district superintendent after several confrontations between bueler and fellow members of the school conservative club , and other students who object to what they claim are " racist " writings in the club ' s political tracts .

all of which is a bunch of ideological baloney swathed in righteous propaganda , according to mark alton , the rancho cotate athletic director and science teacher who co - wrote the faculty letter protesting bueler ' s comments .

just before the final bell at rancho cotate high school on a recent afternoon , a campus supervisor reported to principal mitchell carter on his walkie - talkie : " i ' m in position . subject in view . " the focus of the extra security was a lanky , blue - eyed , 17 - year - old high school junior , tim bueler , whose claims of political harassment by " liberal " students and faculty have made him into something of a youth hero among conservative web bloggers and radio talk show hosts across the country .

“they said , ‘you’re a racist , ’ and i said , ‘are you guys going to let me through ? ’” tim said . “so i ducked into a classroom and told the teacher what was happening , and said , ‘can you help me ? ’ and she said , ‘no . get out of here . ’”

after bueler ' s anti - immigrant newsletter came out , school staff suggested to him that he stay home for a few days as " a cooling - off period , " according to a fact sheet provided by the district .

“the teacher told him , ‘when you say things like that , you’ve got to expect that things like this are going to happen . why don’t you go out the back door ? ’” mr . bueler said in recounting the incident .

mr . bueler said he’s ready to bring in lawyers if the school cannot protect his son . “the police don’t think they were real threats , but i disagree . he shouldn’t have to be threatened every day , ” the father said .

for his part , carter , the principal , isn ' t responding to questions and is referring calls to district superintendent michael watenpaugh , who has criticized bueler for distributing inflammatory material without first getting permission from a student adviser , as is school policy .

the fact that bueler cannot walk around campus without an escort isn ' t something the first amendment can do anything about , said uc berkeley constitutional law professor jesse choper . what ' s significant , he said , is that the school district provided that security .

for his part , bueler seems comfortable in the magnifying glare of the media spotlight . he sat at home recently contemplating interview requests from at least four national television talk shows and a scheduled appearance feb . 7 as the featured speaker at the conservative eagle forum ' s annual convention .

it all started on dec . 3 , when bueler posted a flyer announcing a new " conservative hot line " for the 1 , 800 students at his high school . it encouraged students to call the hot line to report " un - american comments expressed by your liberal teachers . "

" remember the movie ' rebel without a cause ' ? " asked savage , the radio host whose book , " savage nation , " bueler borrowed liberally from in outlining his club ' s philosophy . " this kid represents rebels with a cause . he represents the new counterculture . "

on dec . 12 bueler inflamed matters by distributing a conservative club newsletter in which he wrote that " liberals welcome every muhammad , jamul and jose who wishes to leave his third world state and come to america - - mostly illegally - - to rip off our health - care system , balkanize our language and destroy our political system . "

according to a timeline issued by the cotati - rohnert park city school district , the controversy started dec . 3 when the conservative club , which bueler organized last fall , posted an inflammatory flier at the high school announcing the creation of a " conservative hotline , " where students could report examples of " un - american " comments by their teachers .

latino students were furious , and 40 school employees and teachers , including principal mitchell carter , signed a letter protesting the inflammatory rhetoric . bueler claimed he was threatened , called " nazi " and other epithets , even by teachers , who he said refused to protect him from angry mobs of classmates . he soon was being escorted to and from class by school security officers .

" this school district chose to honor his free speech and sought to protect him from threats . that ' s commendable , " choper said . " it is not totally clear that ( bueler ) had an enforceable constitutional right to go as far as he did , such as calling the teachers names like that . by no means am i saying that they could have stopped him , but they responded in a responsible fashion . "

kenya detains author promoting anti - obama book kenyan authorities have deported jerome corsi , the author of the obama nation : leftists politics and the cult of personality . immigration officials said he didn ' t have a work permit . corsi was detained at his hotel and ordered to leave the country .

the american author of a controversial book about democratic presidential nominee barack obama was reportedly on his way out of kenya on tuesday night .

jerome corsi had planned to make public statements in kenya that were unflattering to both obama and kenya ' s prime minister . he had scheduled a news conference tuesday morning at a fancy nairobi hotel for the kenyan launch of his book , the obama nation : leftist politics and the cult of personality . it was the same hotel where obama held his own news conference during a triumphant visit to kenya in 2006 . obama ' s father was kenyan , and he still has relatives in the country .

a news release about corsi ' s event sent out to local and international media said that the author would expose " details of deep secret ties between obama and a section of kenyan government leaders . . . and [ a ] subsequent plot to be executed in kenya should . . . obama win the american presidency . "

a second page listing corsi ' s talking points never quite explained what plot might be afoot . it did , however , frequently mention kenyan prime minister raila odinga , who is an ethnic luo , as was obama ' s father .

corsi had apparently planned to talk about odinga ' s ties to kenyan muslims and his conduct during kenya ' s ethnic troubles earlier this year , which left more than 1 , 000 kenyans dead and hundreds of thousands displaced . the violence followed a contentious presidential election in kenya that pitted many luos against a number of ethnic kikuyus .

corsi ' s press relations representative in kenya says pro - luo forces pushed corsi out .

jerome corsi has jousted lucratively with barack obama , tackling the presidential candidate ' s reputation with a best - selling if factually challenged book that accuses the senator of , among other things , ties to militant islam . but corsi may have gone a little too far into enemy territory when he flew into kenya , the birthplace of obama ' s father . kenyan immigration officials deported corsi , they said , over problems with his visa . they made their move before corsi was scheduled to give a press conference at which he promised to expose secret ties between obama and kenyan leaders , as well as a mysterious plot that would be launched should the democratic nominee win the u . s . election .

corsi , author of the obama nation : leftist politics and the cult of personality , was in kenya writing dispatches for the website worldnetdaily at the invitation of christian missionaries who fear the rise of islam in kenya . according to worldnetdaily , he wanted to answer " lingering questions " about obama ' s ties to prime minister raila odinga .

apart from planning to debut his book in kenya ( so far it is unavailable in bookstores here ) and provide details about obama ' s alleged ties to odinga , corsi had said that his press conference would " expose details of deep secret ties between the u . s . democratic presidential candidate barack obama and a section of kenya government leaders , their connection to certain sectoral groups in kenya and subsequent plot to be executed in kenya should senator obama win the american presidency . "

corsi claims that obama has strong ties to odinga , whom the author says fomented kenya ' s postelection violence last january in a bid to secure the presidency after the results declared incumbent president mwai kibaki the winner . in fact , independent observers disputed kibaki ' s victory , and a commission looking into the vote recently determined that kenya would never know if odinga or kibaki truly won . in his writings , corsi has sought to link the luos  the tribe of odinga , as well as obama ' s ancestors  with muslims and to pit both of them against kikuyus , the tribe of kibaki .

" the whole world became very concerned about the violence in kenya and wanted a negotiated settlement , because they realized the outcome was not what kenyans voted for , " says odinga adviser salim lone , commenting on corsi ' s alleged obama - odinga - islamist nexus . " raila became prime minister because of the view that the unrest would continue . islam had nothing to do with it , and in any event , the violence in muslim areas was minimal as compared to the others . it has absolutely no basis in fact . "

corsi also claims that obama was in close contact with odinga , advising the kenyan politician on strategy after the results were announced . lone claims he was there the one time obama called odinga , and says it wasn ' t to talk campaign strategy but rather to demand that the violence end and that odinga and kibaki come to a peaceful solution to the crisis .

the obama campaign had no comment on corsi ' s deportation . it has denounced his book in a 41 - page rebuttal . if anything , corsi seems to have seriously underestimated the broad kenyan support for obama , whose father was a kenyan and who has several half - siblings here . while there is animosity between luos and kikuyus  and the tribes were responsible for much of the postelection violence  obama is immensely popular across ethnic lines in kenya . ever since odinga became prime minister in a power - sharing agreement with kibaki , his own approval ratings have soared .

in a news story on tuesday announcing corsi ' s press conference , the standard newspaper said the american author ' s media invitation " makes no secret of the intention to hurl dirt at obama and undermine his campaign from his ancestral home . " among the scrum of reporters waiting for corsi outside kenya ' s immigration office on tuesday , one local kenyan television correspondent was wearing an " obama ' 08 " t shirt .

corsi had also planned to deliver a $ 1 , 000 check to obama ' s half - brother george , who lives in a slum in nairobi . one republican ad has accused obama of abandoning his brother , who was recently reported in italian vanity fair to be living on a dollar a month . but george obama has repeatedly denied that he said any such thing or that he feels abandoned by obama . george obama is currently in school studying to be an auto mechanic and says he has plenty to eat .

" the inclusion of the ' philanthropic ' [ tour ] in corsi ' s programme is seen in bad taste and an extension of the campaign to undermine obama ' s bid to become the first black american president , " the standard said . in an interview with time last week , obama ' s half - sister auma called corsi ' s book " blatant lies . " " it ' s reached a point where people will write what they write and people will assume what they want to assume and interpret things the way they want to interpret them , and you can ' t chase everybody , " auma obama said . " otherwise you stop living your own life . "

the 17 - year - old junior says that stance inspired threats from which teachers have refused to protect him . some faculty members even started a public campaign against his group , which seeks to promote “the pillars of the bible , patriotism and conservative beliefs as balance to the mostly liberal viewpoints of teachers , ” according to its newsletter , “the conservative agenda . ”

the club has invited students to call its “liberal assault hot line” to report whether they’ve been “verbally assaulted for being conservative . ”

with about 50 members , the club has hosted speakers from the eagle forum and national rifle association .

forty school staff members signed a letter to the santa rosa press democrat calling on the conservative club to back up its accusations that students are being indoctrinated .

“they’ve made all these sweeping statements about liberal teachers warping the curriculum , but as a science teacher , i’d like to see some evidence , ” said mr . alton , who co - authored the letter .

“no one at the high school opposes the formation of the conservative club , ” mr . alton said . “what bothers me is the extreme views that border on racism or homophobia , the negative tone , and the hot line that calls teachers ‘traitors . ’”

rancho cotate principal mitchell carter and district officials did not return several phone calls .

that was the spark that launched his conservative club at rancho cotate high school in the sonoma county town of rohnert park and ignited two months of rhetorical ugliness on campus . it also put him on the conservative talk show circuit , including an appearance thursday on fox television ' s " the o ' reilly factor . "

" let ' s take a stand against the liberal traitors who call themselves teachers , " the flyer urged .

" let ' s take a stand against the neo - conservative wing - nuts who call themselves americans , " the flyer declared .

" liberals , " it pronounced , " welcome every muhammad , jamul and jose who wishes to leave his third world state and come to america - - mostly illegally - - to rip off our health care system , balkanize our language and destroy our political system . "

district officials have acknowledged , however , that the school faculty and the principal made some " missteps " that may have helped inflame matters .

watenpaugh said carter and others officials were wrong for suggesting the " cooling - off period . "

for example , 15 police officers swarmed onto campus to quell disturbances following the conservative club ' s jan . 16 meeting .

and the lanky junior appears to be enjoying , if not reveling in , his role at the center of an ideological free - for - all . he has become a hot commodity on conservative talk radio shows , where he has not been shy about expressing his support for god , guns and country and his contempt for liberals . several nationally syndicated television shows have called for interviews , including , he says , " good morning america . " school officials have gotten thousands of e - mails from people across the country who , they say , were whipped up into a righteous frenzy by a stream of rhetoric .

" certain outside conservative groups are using this to further their own political agenda , which is to attack the public education system , " alton said .

the real issue , he said , is not free speech but how to maintain peace on a school campus by having rational discourse .

" those statements about illegal immigration and students of color and his attack on liberal teachers as traitors offend people , and many of us think they are inappropriate , " alton said . " he has a right to his opinions , and nobody wants to deny him his rights , but there are certain things that are inappropriate on a school campus . when hateful , intolerant discourse is being used , it is our responsibility to respond . "

" ' good morning america ' is a little shaky , " he scoffed , referring to efforts by producers to get him on the prestigious show . " they ' re real liberal . "

you ' ve always been a douche . i remember covering you when you were a high - schooler playing the pip for the california coalition for immigration reform ' s geriatrics and stating you wanted to kill muslims for a living by joining the armed foces . but you ' re not a kid anymore , son ; you ' re legally an adult , and adults have certain responsibilities .

so , again : take me off your pinche list . repercussions after the jump !

] don ' t make me get all can - spam on you , or bother to pay attention to what you actually write ; just get me off your list . and don ' t make me get our it department to block your address ; they ' re surly guys , and the last thing you need is yet another chunk of your generation loathing you .

i ' ve even defended you in the past –and this is the gratitude i get ? tell you what : just stop sending me your email , and i promise to not pay much attention to you anymore . after all , barbara coe is so much more evil than you… .

teen claims political harassment after clashes with fellow students over what they call racist writings .

rohnert park , calif . — just before the final bell at rancho cotate high school on a recent afternoon , a campus supervisor reported to principal mitchell carter on his walkie - talkie : " i ' m in position . subject in view . "

the resulting free speech divide has ruffled feathers and formed fault lines in the 1 , 900 - pupil , predominantly white , middle - class school nicknamed by students " the ranch . "

" let ' s take a stand against the liberal traitors who call themselves teachers , " proclaimed the flier , which had not been approved by the club ' s faculty advisor as required under school rules .

in response , an anonymous faculty member proposed a " liberal hotline " to counter the conservative club . " have you heard any un - american comments expressed by your reactionary students lately ? " the flier asked , parodying the original . " let ' s take a stand against the neo - conservative wing - nuts who call themselves americans . " the liberal flier concluded : " p . s . flush rush , " referring to right - wing talk show host rush limbaugh .

the statement was borrowed directly from the sayings and writings of nationally syndicated san francisco radio host michael savage , whom buehler credits for inspiration .

the club ' s motto , " protecting our borders , language and culture , " is also a savage slogan .

the resulting political turmoil - - which angered some of the school ' s latino students and provoked a letter of protest from 40 school officials , including the nurse and principal carter - - has tested the 1st amendment tethers of this bedroom community about one hour ' s drive north of san francisco .

the school district ' s beleaguered superintendent , michael watenpaugh , has accused the conservative club and the high school staff of " missteps " since the issue erupted . high school administrators and faculty contend that they have been unfairly targeted .

" outside conservative groups are using this as an opportunity to advance their agenda and to criticize public education , " said rancho cotate athletic director mark alton , who also teaches science courses .

lost in the shuffle , said alton and others , is that the conservative club was allowed in the first place , joining the ranks of other more typical student groups such as the model u . n . club , christian club , save ( environmental ) club , stop hate club and the gay / straight alliance .

seeking to counter mass demonstrations by immigrant rights groups , organizers of the minuteman project plan to launch a nationwide caravan in los angeles today that will focus , in large part , on the jobs they contend are lost to illegal immigrants . in particular , the group hopes to highlight the concern over job losses in the african american community .

the minuteman project , the self - proclaimed citizen border patrol that has emerged as a vocal opponent of illegal immigration , arrived in the heart of south los angeles on wednesday hoping to recruit blacks to their cause . but instead , they were met by protesters - - most of them african american - - who compared the group to the ku klux klan and urged them to take their campaign elsewhere . the event , billed as the minuteman project ' s launch of a cross - country caravan to washington , d . c .

prosecutors say the snatching of a police officer ' s flashlight during a melee at a protest against minuteman project founder and congressional candidate jim gilchrist constitutes petty theft . but to the accused and her lawyer , it ' s police and prosecutors who are being petty . theresa dang , 26 , of westminster is charged with stealing the $ 100 flashlight during a may 25 protest rally outside the garden grove women ' s civic club , where gilchrist was speaking .

“the new plant is crucial as the segambut plant alone would not be able to cope with the expected medium - term production and sales requirements . it will play a critical role in the daily business operations of the group . going forward and in line with nissan’s aspiration to increase its worldwide sales volume under the nissan global plan and beyond , the sales volume of tan chong motors is also projected to expand in tandem , ” said tan chong motors chairman , datuk tan heng chew when he announced the construction of a new plant in 2006 .

segambut assembly plant received iso 9002 ( quality systems ) certification , the first motor assembly plant in south - east asia to be accredited .

the tan chong group took on the renault franchise in 2004 , perhaps due to nissan and renault having an alliance . it imported some models , selling them through its subsidiary tc euro cars ( tcec ) but just like federal auto , having its own plant provided an opportunity to persuade renault to consider local assembly . for a brand to grow its volume in malaysia , local assembly is a must as the incentives available enable pricing to be more competitive . so renault agreed to send ckd ( completely knocked - down ) kits of the kangoo light commercial vehicle for assembly at tan chong motor assemblies ( tcma ) in segambut , kuala lumpur .

by the time tan chong was 21 years old , datsun was a household name . already a public - listed company ( since 1974 ) , tan chong had grown so large that when it had its anniversary celebrations , ten separate functions had to be held in selangor alone , and there were also similar functions in every state in the country . during the anniversary dinner in 1979 , tan sri tan yuet foh , told this writer : “from what i saw of the range of datsun vehicles at the tokyo international motorshow , and what the competitors will also be selling , i am confident that the 1980s will be good for us but we have to continue to work hard . ” for the tan brothers ( and the rest of the family ) , the success of being no . 1 in the market was not taken for granted .

as a family - run business , it was often noted that the business philosophy was conservative but this is not unusual since owners regard their own money as being at stake . however , the conservative practices have proven wise in times of recession and tan chong got through three of them because it was cash - rich , having been prudent in spending at all times . while some companies were forced to take loans to stay in business , tan chong got by with its own money , an advantage in such times .

according to tan chong , nissan has granted sole exclusive rights to tcm myanmar , the group stated in a filing to bursa malaysia on thursday . the agreement will see tcm myanmar sell , distribute , manufacture and assemble nissan vehicles in the south east asian country .

it’s been rumoured for months that the franchise for renault vehicles will change hands from quasar carriage , which has been handling it since the mid - 1990s , to the tan chong group . today , renault has confirmed this move in a short statement issued from paris .

when anthony tan graduated from harvard business school in 2011 , he was expected to rejoin his two older brothers at the family firm , tan chong motors . instead , the youngest tan , now 33 , decided to strike out on his own with a mobile taxi app developed for a school business - plan contest . his mother was one of the original angel investors ; his father , tan heng chew ( no . 16 on the 2015 richest malaysians list ) , wasn ' t . the apple didn ' t fall too far from the tree , though . anthony says he was inspired by his entrepreneurial grandfather , tan yuet foh , the son of kuala lumpur taxi driver that went on to build the multinational auto sales - and - assembly empire .

that tan chong’s status has not changed in over 50 years is testimony to the good job it has been doing for the brand and indeed , from the mid - 1970s till 1985 , it put datsun at the top of the sales chart . in fact , malaysia was one of the few countries in the world where datsun beat toyota and this certainly gave tan chong a lot of clout in tokyo when it came to negotiating prices and specifications . one of the two founders of the company , tan sri tan yuet foh , was well known to the nissan people and of course , highly respected . old - timers in the company remember him as having a ‘very strong bladder’ and stamina for lengthy meetings , outlasting the japanese… probably a tactic to get a lower price on the cars !

testified that he had shown the quotation to kl tan , who was a member of the council , in may 2008 .

while we have had a national car company since 1985 , truly malaysian car companies have existed well before proton . these are companies like tan chong motors , oriental / boon siew , federal auto and cycle & carriage which were prominent in the car business , with cycle & carriage going back to the colonial days . all the companies were started by malaysians and each became synonymous with a certain brand : tan chong with datsun / nissan ; oriental / boon siew with honda ; federal auto with volvo ; and cycle & carriage with mercedes - benz .

fuji heavy industries ( fhi ) has announced that ckd production of the subaru forester facelift has begun at tan chong’s segambut plant . this announcement confirms our previous report that the forester will indeed be subaru’s second model to be locally assembled at the plant , albeit sooner than expected .

the judicial commissioners include mr tan puay boon , ms mavis chionh and mr ang cheng hock , who were appointed in february .

31 on 31 july 2009 , the defendant wrote to kl tan ( in the latter’s capacity as the secretary of mcst 1024 ) pointing out that members of the council had been actively involved in the upgrading works for the past two years . the defendant expressed his surprise at kl tan’s " sudden interest” in the works , and stated that some of kl tan’s questions were " frivolous” .

4 . 1 mr tan keng lin proposed to reduce or maintain the maintenance and sinking funds in view of the economy slowdown .

a police officer was sentenced to one year in jail yesterday for being a senior member of a secret society and the headman of a motor - cycle gang .

the story of tan chong began with a brave venture by two bothers – tan yuet foh and tan kim hor – to import and sell a japanese brand of cars called datsun . at that time , in the late 1950s , european models were dominant and japanese cars were only just beginning to appear . their design was not much different from the small european models but they were perceived as being inferior . the tan brothers had no experience selling cars and in their first year of business from a shoplot in jalan ipoh , kuala lumpur , they sold 39 units . undeterred by discouraging comments , they figured that if nobody bought the cars , they could still use them in some other way .

a man was jailed nine years yesterday for masterminding an elaborate motor insurance scam involving the largest amount of fraudulent claims to date - almost $ 1 . 6 million .

and kl tan claimed at trial that he was surprised by the notice because it provided " no details on what the upgrading was” .

everything want to blame the gov . read the article to the end , and do understand the lase phrase “fhi will continue to work hand in hand with tan chong international to further enhance subaru sales in the asean region . ” mean . if the ckd fail , no sale also gov will not rugi la .

4 . 3 mr tan keng lin offered an alternative proposal to increase the maintenance fund by 20 % and sinking fund by 10 % . mr tan suggested that , should the funds run low , a council meeting be held to pass through a resolution to increase the contribution funds .

as the original malaysian car company , tan chong will continue to develop its business here but at the same time , it is also looking beyond malaysian borders to expand . with its good track record , it has been given the the indo - china market to develop the nissan brand and is already assembling vehicles in vietnam .

companies under tan chong international limited consider their staff their most important asset and accordingly seek to identify , recruit and retain the best talent to meet our business needs . the people we seek would be highly competent with strong knowledge and skills , who welcome challenging opportunities to progress and grow within a company with diverse , international interests .

mr tan also hopes , through this programme , to dispel misconceptions which might have been brought about by pop culture like drama serials about the court .

telling the public more about the courts " is a community effort , and there can be no better advocates than children " , mr tan added .

tan chong is known for its aggressive style marketing . they know that selling the car cheaper than its competitors will not sustain in the long run . so they expand overseas to improve the profit . to sell the car cheaper , they need to get the volume . so they expand overseas to improve the profit margin . smart move !

nissan too went through a dark period of its own with financial problems that led to an alliance being forged with renault in 1999 . over the next seven years , nissan would focus on its own recovery and as a result , minimal attention was given to the asean region . this meant that new products were few and far between and tan chong had to do its best to keep people interested in nissan models as well as maintain customer loyalty . through it all , tan chong never wavered in its loyalty to its japanese principal and prepared for growth in the future . it had many other business activities as well but the automotive business would always be at its core .

from selling cheap cars to taxi operators in the 1960s and 1970s ( top ) , tan chong changed its strategy after the national car entered the market in 1985 . it raised the nissan image with products like the cefiro ( middle ) and today , the company is also involved in marketing infiniti , the luxury brand of nissan ( above )

the group is also due to start motor workshop services in yangon , myanmar via e - garage auto services and spare parts ( myanmar ) co ltd , in the second half of 2012 .

kshop services , distribution of automotive spare parts and manufacturing of automotive parts . the financial services segment is engaged in the provision of hire purchase financing , personal loans and insurance agency services . the other operations segment is engaged in property and investment holding activities . the company ' s subsidiaries include agensi pekerjaan bijak sdn . bhd . , ceranamas sdn . bhd . , edaran tan chong motor sdn . bhd . , e - garage auto services sdn . bhd . , first energy networks sdn . bhd . and hikmat asli sdn . bhd .

the tan brothers fully supported the government’s policy and began to increase the use of local components such as paint , tyres , wire harnesses , batteries , etc . at the same time , seeing how sales were accelerating – datsun was the best - selling brand in malaysia from the early 1970s onwards – they also began to consider the possibility of having their own assembly plant . it was a bold but far - sighted plan which became a reality in 1976 when tan chong motor assemblers ( tcma ) began operations in segambut , then on the outskirts of kuala lumpur . the plant was designed with the help of nissan which suggested that its layout be adapted from the company’s zama plant in japan .

the defendant had unilaterally decided to use the management and sinking funds to undertake the works . kl tan did not consent or agree to his doing so .

the locally - assembled subaru forester is set to go on sale this spring in malaysia , thailand and indonesia , which is sometime between march - may 2016 . at the line - off ceremony , fhi deputy president jun kondo said , “fhi will continue to work hand in hand with tan chong international to further enhance subaru sales in the asean region . ”

of the four , only tan chong today remains as the distributor of the same brand it began with in the late 1950s , the longest of any company in malaysia . the other three had helped to grow the business for their principals to the extent that the principals themselves decided to take over distribution and marketing , relegating their local business partners to dealers .

" vexatious proceedings typically have little prospect of success , but the litigant might continue to pursue the matter , " said singapore management university law don eugene tan .

facebook ' s mr tan noted difficulties faced by the social media company in having a universal policy to handle certain information , given the different laws across countries .

why tan chong invest in vietnam rather than more investment in malaysia ? it depends on how our current goverment treat tc . look at the cars nissan offered here and the spec . compare with globally which i believe its lousy . i suspect these got something to do with our policies since tc is not a glc compare with most brands of cars offered here .

meanwhile , bnm governor tan sri dr zeti akhtar aziz stressed that the current volatility in the financial market is comparatively lesser than that experienced during the global financial crisis .

in november 2015 , a facelifted forester sporting heavy camo , was spotted testing on malaysian roads , raising suspicions that the model would be introduced . the facelifted forester was unveiled at the 2015 tokyo motor show .

his tenacity was rewarded when the president granted tan the franchise rights to nissan vehicles , the first japanese brand vehicle to be imported into the country . tan ' s deal with nissan would soon set in motion a tide of cheap , reliable japanese cars that eventually pushed out many european brands within just two decades . read more about nissan ' s history in malaysia here .

this event also gives the state courts a way of reaching out to the community through children - for instance when the students share their experiences with their friends and family , said mr tan .

in the event there was a vote to decrease the contributions by 5 % in view of the surplus accumulated in the last financial year . the defendant was proposed as chairman by kl tan .

the first vehicle assembly plant to be set - up under this plan was the volvo owned swedish motor assemblies ( sma ) in 1967 . by november 1968 , assembly began for the volvo 144 , the first locally assembled car in malaysia .

special privileges given to the national car – the proton saga – enabled its price to be rm4 , 000 lower than the best - selling nissan sunny 130y ( the brand name had been changed to nissan in 1984 ) . sales of datsuns as well as other popular brands began to decrease as malaysians bought protons . for tan chong , this was a very challenging period which required a complete re - think of its future strategies .

a motion was tabled to ratify the upgrading expenditures up to an amount of $ 530 , 000 . this was objected to by the representative of the third plaintiff , lim heng hoe ( " hh lim” ) . a committee comprising representatives from both the plaintiffs’ camp and the mok camp was then set up to " go through the upgrading expenses” ( the " audit committee” ) . the six members of the audit committee were ck loo , wc mok , ac tan , ong lye chun ( " lc ong” ) , tan han yong ( " hy tan” ) , and sunny yu .

tan , lee and wan will return to court on july 18 , while lim’s case will be heard again on july 31 . their bail amounts were set at s $ 30 , 000 each .

then came ‘ endaka ’ – the rapid rise in the strength of the yen – which pushed up prices of japanese products . this added another challenge to tan chong which saw its sales drop so substantially that it even had to stop vehicle production for a while . unsold vehicle stocks grew quickly and as the company ran out of space to keep them , empty plots of land had to be borrowed to park the vehicles all over the country .

the five associates charged alongside him are ng kuan chuan , 32 ; lim kang wee , 37 ; tan meng chye , 57 ; lee yoon chaw , 54 ; and wan keng yuen , 48 .

would have been unlikely to approve a 20 % and 10 % increase respectively in their maintenance and sinking fund contributions . it is recorded in the opening words of point 4 . 1 that kl tan proposed

though occupying a large chunk of land in the segambut area , expansion over the years had used up most of the available area and the location of the tcma had also become rather impractical as kuala lumpur was much more congested . the sales volume for tan chong had also grown substantially over the years and besides that , like many old plants , the layout of the segambut plant did not readily allow the use of modern manufacturing processes like modular assembly .

it’s been over 50 years since the company has been selling nissan vehicles and tan chong today is stronger than ever and ready for whatever challenges come its way . its nissan product line - up has been refreshed and growing volumes indicate very good acceptance by malaysians . furthermore , the company , in collaboration with auto dunia , is also involved in the marketing of infiniti , nissan’s luxury brand . an affiliated company , tc euro cars , handles renault as well .

the 10 - member committee chaired by deputy speaker of parliament charles chong held eight days of public hearings in march . it heard from 65 witnesses including local and overseas experts , as well as technology and media giants such as facebook , twitter and google .

mr andre tan , 44 , director of communications at the state courts , said the experience was a good opportunity for students to experience weighing the different factors that may come into play in a court trial .

( c ) if mh asia was appointed as managing agent wrongfully , kl tan was in breach of his duties as a member of the council in failing to object and thereby impliedly consenting to such appointment .

the company is a joint venture between daihatsu motor co . ltd . ( 20 per cent ) , umw corporation sdn . bhd . ( 38 per cent ) , mbm resources bhd . ( 20 per cent ) and several other smaller japanese and malaysian companies .

yet , none of the sps raised any dispute as to this notice and none objected to the upgrading works proposed therein . this was confirmed by kl tan who was the treasurer of mcst 1024 at the time .

“going forward , we are expected to assemble more nissan variants in danang for the vietnam market . we will also explore , together with nissan motor co , for export opportunities to neighbouring nations such as cambodia and laos which are also left - hand drive markets . ”

the dark period of the second half of the 1980s was a blessing in disguise , the old - timers at tan chong would later say . it was tough but the employees also learnt to work in a more efficient manner , while the organization became leaner . and as the situation stabilized and then improved , the company bounced back and moved forward again . lessons learnt were valuable as when another recession hit in the late 1990s , the company was better prepared to cope with it .

however , what tan sri tan had not expected was the major development in the malaysian auto industry in 1984 which would impact all car companies and change the automotive landscape . this was the announcement of the national car project which would be fully supported and financed by the government . the automotive industry was seen to be a potential catalyst for greater industrialization and the government wanted to be directly involved in it so as to manage its development .

private - hire car driver s . k . tan , 62 , agrees with the cccs ' measures , saying drivers should be free to operate on any platform and not be punished with reduced incentives for doing so .

only in the wake of this circular did the disagreements between the parties deteriorate significantly , with kl tan first expressing his displeasure at the coffee - shop meeting of 22 may 2009 ( see [ 28 ] above ) .

it seem we have to look at this as an awd stationwagon rather than an suv . not the most popular segment with malaysian . its only direct competitor is the toyota caldina gt4 . and that one packs more punch . seriously tan chong and subaru got this one all wrong ? what is the appeal of the xv ? its neither have stylish exterior as the significantly cheaper kia sportage nor the luxurios interior of peugout 3008 nor the tech level of only slightly expensive mazda cx - 5 .

the balance was used to acquire a 74 % stake in nissan vietnam ltd ( nvl ) , which is a joint venture with nissan motor co of japan , in 2010 and expand nvl ' s distribution network in vietnam from two to 11 outlets as at end - 2011 .

11 accordingly , the parties that remain in these proceedings are the second and fourth plaintiffs ( collectively , the " plaintiffs” ) , the defendant , kl tan , and mcst 1024 . kl tan is also an owner of the second plaintiff , and represented the second plaintiff at every general meeting of mcst 1024 up until the first tranche of the 25th annual general meeting ( " agm” ) on 5 october 2009 ( see [ 35 ] below ) .

neither kl tan nor cy lim gave evidence on the fibre optic lights at the fifth floor of block 51 . accordingly , the plaintiffs’ claim on unequal treatment with respect to these works are also without foundation and must fail .

117 kl tan gave evidence that the past practice of mcst 1024 was informal . as long as a motion was raised for discussion at an agm and no objection to it was taken , the motion would be considered as carried .

so today’s official roll - out is like the penultimate chapter of our subaru xv book , with only a full test drive report yet to come . as mentioned , the xv is now in all motor image showrooms retailing for rm150 , 735 , on - the - road with insurance .

( a ) the annex a works were carried out pursuant to decisions made by the 23rd and 24th councils . kl tan was a member of these councils and he agreed to or acquiesced in the council’s carrying out of these works .

" the plaintiff here is not the natural parent , neither is she guardian appointed under the act , " and hence , judge tan added in judgment grounds last week , she has no standing to file the application for custody and access .

further , the body of sps in general meeting did not authorise the works . instead , kl tan had in a letter to the defendant on 25 may 2009 objected to the works " when he realised that they were not budgeted for” .

neither cy lim nor kl tan gave evidence on marble , granite , or quartz titles at block 51 . accordingly , i find that there is no substance to this complaint of unequal treatment and this claim in item a must be dismissed .
