KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 – The controversy over Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo’s brand-new palatial mansion in Shah Alam threatened to descend into farce today when Sekinchan assemblyman Ng Swee Lim offered to become the former Selangor mentri besar’s real estate agent to prove the property was worth RM24 million.
Ng had taken reporters yesterday to the site of Dr Mohd Khir’s new home — a Balinese-style resort-like home on two plots of land measuring over 50,000 sq ft or 1.17acres — and claimed the total cost of the property was estimated at RM24 million.
The Pakatan Rakyat (PR) man suggested that the former Barisan Nasional (BN) MB could not have been able to afford the home on his political income, and called for an investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
But Khir denied any improprieties yesterday, and claimed he bought the house — which dwarfs the infamous Istana Zakaria built by the late Port Klang assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros — for only RM3.5 million.
Khir also mocked Ng, and offered the PR man to be his real estate agent to sell the house for that amount, adding that he would give the latter half the money.
Today, Ng took up the challenge in an attempt to continue putting the spotlight on his political rival, who is currently the state opposition leader.
The PR man even asked Khir to hand over the keys to the house.
Ng also continued to focus his attacks on Khir’s finances, and argued that it was also not possible for the BN man to afford the RM3.5 million loan he claimed to have taken from HSBC to buy the mansion.
He alleged that Dr Mohd Khir would have to pay RM16,000 a month to service the loan, while his allowance as opposition leader was just over RM8,000 a month.
“I have few buyers who are keen to view the house,” he said, adding that he welcomed the challenge by the Opposition Leader.
Khir said yesterday he had bought the mansion for RM3.5 million with a 30-year bank loan and spent a further RM500,000 to renovate it.
Ng, who took reporters to the entrance of the palatial mansion at Jalan Suasa 7/1L in Shah Alam yesterday, produced documents that showed Khir had purchased one lot measuring of 31,794 sq ft for RM2.9 million and another measuring 20,427 sq ft for RM900,000.
He claimed a further RM20 million was spent on the Balinese-style mansion, imported furniture from Bali, and the construction of a swimming pool.
Ng revealed today that he had met with some of the contractors involved with the work on the house and knew that it cost more than what was being claimed by Khir.
He denied allegations that he had a personal agenda his fellow state lawmaker from Sungai Panjang, who has threatened to sue him for defamation.
Ng said he was ready to meet Khir in court.

PR has DAP, Pas and PKR. PKR has plenty of ex-Umno, so these are just some clowns giving them a bad name. But voters must think like this: If you did not vote Pakatan Rakyat into the Selangor govt, then do you think all this dirty linen of Khir Toyol will come out into the public on this scale?
So, CONTINUE VOTING PAKATAN to make sure these BN buggers pay for their arrogance and dirtiness.

500k RM for renovation for a big bungalow is also not logical, most Malaysians will know that to renovate and fully furnish a standard double storey will set them back between RM 100-200K.
I am not trying to say Khir Toyo bluff, probably he gets his property and renovation below cost in return for favor the contractors need, you all know what I mean?

Why don't you let us know where it is? Or write an open letter to the Sekinchan Assemblyman about it, so that we can see if he's going to expose it?
Since I'm not politically connected, I have no idea where it's located since UMNO and the other politicians haven't seen fit to expose it. I would really love to see how our rich and famous politicians live.

House is claimed to be RM3.5million? look at the house and look at another RM3.5million house. Look at land size. Make sense ka? renovation in stages is to imply no money but really if only replace roof and minor renovations, can be done less than a few months. and HSBC can give you RM3.5million loan, hell they can give you another RM500k.
so do not give us BS story Khir 'Disney' Toyo. Ingat kita ni bodohkah? atau baru dilahirkan? BTW if renovation is RM500k as claimed by him, then wow. Khir 'Disney' Toyo really can make his money go far including to Disneyland - orlando, Paris, Tokyo.... Khir should build all govt buildings and roads cos he is dam good la... :D

tolong fikirkan sejenak. sebuah rumah banglo yang dibina pemaju Naza Group (TTDI) di sebelah stadium shah alam berdepan dengan KGSAS berharga RM2.6mil. Rumah ini hanya kategori banglo 2 tingkat dan mempunyai sekangkang kera keluasan tanah di sekelilingnya. Jika anda ke MSU (dulu dipanggil PTPL), anda akan lihat kawasan rumah tersebut. Pada tahun 2008, rumah semi-d disitu dijual pada harga RM1.2mil. Itu baru semi-d. Ada la tanah skit kat tepi2 tu.
Tapi rumah dengan keluasan tanah 50,000 sqf baru berharga RM3.5mil? Agak2 la skit kalau nak menipu pun. Ko ni khir toyo, dah selalu menipu, cakap gini pun menipu jugak. Kalau ko tipu bapak ko, boleh la dia percaya. Dia orang kampung. Tapi sekarang ni orang kampung pun dah tak boleh ditipu lagi! Semua orang tak boleh ditipu lagi!
Buktikan dengan dokumen! Aku beli rumah RM200k ni pun berpuluh2 dokumen aku simpan. Senang kalau ada apa2 hal. Ko tunjuk semua dokumen berkenaan dengan rumah banglo ko tu.
Macam mana ko nak sorok muka pencuri duit rakyat ko tu.. Makan la tempe banyak2..

perhaps toyo is fairly bad in maths, becuase he's not using his own money, so 4million or 10million doesn't make a different for him. like his disney trip with maid, he don't need to know how much, cos is not his money anyway

HI Tan,
I got nothing against you, but let's do a NH Chan interpretation of the above.
"that amount" here would mean RM24/- million agreed.
"half the money" here would mean I think 1/2 of RM24/- million which is RM12/- million.
I did not read anything about commission but a challenge by Khir that if Ng is able to sell
it for RM24/- million, he (khir) would give him half of the money (RM24/- million)
You must look at why Khir threw the challenge. He threw it because he wanted to mock Ng that his house is not worth that much and Ng is talking nonsence. Now, if Khir has meant his house was worth RM24/- million, it would mean he agree with Ng and I don't think that was Khir's intention.
Now, if you want to disrepute someone, would you accept that someone's argument or rebutt it?

Apparently you are a more sensible commentator as compare to most people here who can't analyze. About the 50% commission, I read about in Chinese Newspaper Kwang Wah which only indicated 50% commission as compare to Malaysian Insider half of the total sales. Nevertheless, Let's say Malaysian Insider's information is reported correctly where 50% of the total sales, Khir's challenge to Ng is to sell the mansion at RM24 million (i suppose is no lesser than this amount), but Ng was making himself notice AGAIN in the Kwang Wah newspaper (i do not know if other media report this) that he already have a buyer who is willing to buy at RM8 million. Hey...hello? It is RM24 million. So, a note to Ng again, if he does not have RM24 million buyer waiting in line, maybe he should wait first before announcing his ignorant remark in the newspaper.

To update again, in STAR newspaper, it was reported that ".....he (Dr. Khir) was willing to give 50% commission....", I do not know how the newsman interpreted Khir comment, but let's narrow down: -
a) 50% of the total sales as commission, or
b) 50% commission of the total commission from agency fees.
