I want to highlight and put on record for all concerned DFI’s, Banks, financial institutions heads here that Schon Group is a defaulter of National Bank of Pakistan, Allied Bank of Pakistan, Habib Bank Limited, United Bank Limited, Muslim Commercial Bank, Saudi Pak (SAPICO) and various Leasing Companies for an amount more than of Rs. 1.225 Billion.
Dear Sir, It is further shocking that with a simple law degree and MBA from an unknown University Mr. Malik served and enjoyed the power of DG FCIW, NAB for six years and at present enjoying the powerful post of SEVP, NBP. His level of greediness can be well judge from an act as DG (FCIW) he also pressurized his parent department (National Bank of Pakistan) to hire his personal residence situated at Askari, Rawalpindi.
National Bank of Pakistan acquired CIRC and NDFC, as an employee of SEVP, NBP Mr. Malik had excess to all documents pretending to Schon Group pending recoveries . Mr. Kausar Iqbal Malik as DG FCIW, NAB played a major role in doing an agreement in Dubai with Schon Group dated October 25, 2005. This agreement was made without taking written concern from the major creditors. He played a double game by giving a guideline to Schon Group for making Agreement with NAB and on other side protected his own interest. Being seasonal bankers, I request you all to get this Agreement evaluated. (Agreement Attached).The ability and the criminal favour done by Mr. Kausar Iqbal and losses given to NBP, MCB, HBL, ABL, UBL and Pakistani DFI ‘s can be well imagine.
Sir, I do request you that Mr. Kausar Iqbal Malik’s name may kindly be put on ECL and a Consortium of all Creditors i.e. Banks, Leasing Companies should be made for taking appropriate legal action for doing an agreement with Schon Group, which purposefully delayed the processes of recoveries and put banks in a situation to take legal action and to hire eminent lawyers on heavy fees.
This is an appeal for a noble cause. I request you to eliminate financial corruption and bad practices from financial institutions.
Be a part of Honest Executives of Pakistan who can dare to speak against the people who are deliberately giving financial losses to Pakistan for their personal gains. Use the power delegated to you for poor tax payers of this poor Nation.
Looking forward for an action which can change the History of Banking industries of Pakistan and in future no one dare to misused power delegated to work for the betterment of Pakistan and to facilitate its citizens. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice every where.
