Man convicted of CBT given datukship

MALACCA: A former state agency official who was awarded a datukship on Monday by Malacca was convicted of criminal breach of trust in 1995. 

Former international manager of Malacca International Trade Centre, Hasnoor Sdg Husin, was found guilty and convicted of criminal breach of trust and was sentenced to nine months' jail by a Sessions Court here on April 28, 1995, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said. 

He appealed and the High Court in Malacca set aside the sentence and replaced it with one day's jail and a RM1,500 fine or six months' jail, Lim said during a press conference here yesterday. 

Hasnoor did not appeal against the conviction and paid the fine. 

When contacted, Hasnoor said he had nothing to comment except that the award was given by the state. 

He received the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM) on Monday in conjunction with the 69th birthday celebrations of Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob. 

Lim said he received many letters from the people who expressed unhappiness that a convicted person had been given the datukship. 

Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam's officers, when contacted, said the DAP had similarly raised the issue when Hasnoor was appointed to a government post a few years ago.

Dear Chelsea:
We suggest you contact the Richard De La Font Agency, which claims to represent Green Day for private parties. We found another Green Day private party listing at Grabow & Associates.

According to a Forbes article by Neal Santelmann called 'So You Wanna Book a Rock n' Roll Star?,' plenty of high-profile acts are available for private parties. The catch is that you have to pay them obscene amounts of money.

Most bands generally charge two to three times their regular fee for private gigs. Bon Jovi will play in your living room for $850,000, the Beastie Boys for $500,000, or Modest Mouse for $100,000.

The list goes on. Kylie Minogue sang for half an hour at a wedding banquet for $350,000, the Rolling Stones once played a 40-minute birthday party set for $7 million, and Destiny's Child recently did a bar mitzvah for some serious cash. Elton John refers to private gigs as 'bank raids or giggle money.'

You may have to wait a while, though. According to the tour schedule on their official site, Green Day is booked solid until November. Until then you can check out this nifty fan FAQ."
