2007 award (and I guess awards before and after that as well).<\/p>\n

I d0 get questions from students and fresh graduates alike – which company is a good employer. My answer is usually to refer to survey by companies like Jobstreet and so on. Usually, MNCs and GLCs are in the top ten list.<\/p>\n

But, now there’s a new person in the list. So, guys and gals, forget about HSBC, Shell, Petronas or KPMG.\u00a0 Get a job under Vell Paari! Chance for further studies<\/a> (no quota and family members included), guarantor\/down payment on house (Rm200k out of RM400k) and car (last time was Mazda RX8)<\/a>, very caring and understanding employer<\/a>, accompanying you to clinic for treatment, trips to overseas (did I mentioned family included?). Definitely the best company in Malaysia, if not the world.<\/p>\n

Continuing his testimony this afternoon before coroner Mohd Fauzi Che Abu, Vell Paari said he had paid RM200,000 in cash for Sujatha’s apartment at Sangsuria Condominium in Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n

This was used to settle half of Sujatha’s RM400,000 loan for the posh condominium.<\/p>\n

The Maika Holdings chief also said he was the guarantor for the hire-purchase loan which Sujatha took to purchase her Mazda RX8 sports car.<\/p>\n

Questioned by deputy public prosecutor Geethan Ram Vincent, who is assisting Mohd Fauzi, Vell Paari added he had also financed her medical treatments in India and had accompanied her twice to India.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He also said that he had taken Sujatha and her family to Perth, Australia before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Asked by Geethan if it was normal for him to be generous, Vell Paari said he had also helped out other employees previously.<\/p>\n

He said that he had given financial aid like housing loans and deposits for some of his staff who worked for him. He has business interests locally as well as in India and Australia.<\/p>\n

Asked to list a few examples, Vell Paari said he had once paid a housing deposit worth RM70,000 for a staff.<\/p>\n

He also said that he had given financial aid worth 250,000 Australian dollars to two of his chief executive officers and a financial controller based in Australia.<\/mce><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NST<\/a> also provides some details on the career benefits offered by the employer:<\/p>\n

\n

The chief executive officer of Maika Holdings Bhd, S. Vell Paari, paid RM220,000 as a downpayment for the condominium of late local drama actress K. Sujatha.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the remaining RM200,000, he took a loan under his name but the unit was registered in Sujatha’s name and she was servicing the loan payments.<\/p>\n

He said he paid for Sujatha’s medical treatment and education — her final year in diploma and her Master’s degree in commerce — and was also the guarantor for the bank loan taken for her Mazda RX8.<\/p>\n

He, however, denied buying the car for Sujatha, who was then his personal assistant.<\/p>\n

He also admitted that he had accompanied Sujatha and her family members twice to India for her medical treatment, which he had funded.<\/p>\n

Sujatha had also accompanied him to Australia. Vell Paari’s wife Shaila Nair had never followed them during these trips.<\/p>\n

Vell Paari denied having a sexual relationship with Sujatha, but said that he would normally go to her house for official reasons and also during functions.<\/p>\n

Geethan: You are a caring employer.<\/p>\n

Vell Paari: Yes, I do that for all my staff.<\/p>\n

Geethan: Is it the norm for you to buy a house for your employee?<\/p>\n

Vell Paari: Yes, the amount has been higher for some of them.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Vell Paari told the court that he had funded the education for Sujatha’s two brothers, Surenthiran and Ugenthiran. Ugenthiran was then studying in Australia.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But, you may hear some news about a staff who died under suspicious circumstances. I mean, people die all the time right? So what if someone accidentally drank a bottle of paraquat. Accidents happen all the time. So, please ignore it.<\/p>\n

And don’t start asking where the money comes from. Rich people have lots of business interests throughout the world. It doesn’t hurt if your dad is a well known personality among the Indian diaspora. Tax payment you ask? Well, I’m sure LHDN have that covered. Don’t you worry over that as well.<\/p>\n

So, folks, what are you waiting for? Lots of graduates will be coming out in the coming months. Send your resumes to the best employer\u00a0 in the country and all the best.<\/p>\n
