Gloma Energy / Gloma Consultants review: Cindy Sia - scam artist 5

Your comment is noted though I am unsure of the sentiment behind it. The intention of my post is to warn people so that they do not fall victim to the same ruse that this woman is perpetrating. This incident has had potentially damaging consequences to my reputation with trusted business partners (damage I can attest to) and therefore I have no qualms about publicising this woman's unethical activities.

Well, I must confess to being completely taken aback that Cindy Sia has posted more derisory remarks about me once again, clearly questioning my integrity in this matter. I feel I was most generous on the last occasion she contacted me, practically begging me to withdraw my remarks, to in pity, h I agreed to provide her with a resolution statement as given above. Given the fact is that everything I have posted in my initial complaint is correct (except for the fact that it seems suddenly, the law here in Malaysia would not have permitted my acting as a partner in the so called venture), it seems more than disingenuous of her to now continue making spurious claims that I have acted erroneously. Anyone reading this needs to revisit what I have written above and ask yourself a question. If Cindy Sia knew from the beginning, that my becoming a partner was precluded under the law in Malaysia, why did she indeed offer this "carrot" of an incentive in the first place, if it was not to entice me into giving over confidential information and use my consultancy time for free. In doing so she did indeed damage my reputation with a valued client (who incidentally, has had no further business dealings with me of any substance since this sorry episode) and cause me to incur substantial costs for which I have not been compensated a single cent. Ms Sia, I strongly suggest you consider very carefully before posting any more remarks anywhere which call into question my probity in my dealings with you. Anyone reading this who requires any further information on this matter, is welcome to contact me at my email address initially at mphaysom63@gmail.com

Firstly, your desire to join Gloma Energy PLT was at your own personal discretion, thus you were exercising your own free will in attempting to do so. You are already an experienced businessman with many years of business experience. Therefore to claim that you were enticed against your free will is preposterous.

You asked me to join. The initial and ongoing approach was solicited from your side and your side alone. In taking part in preliminary meetings I was undertaking my own due diligence on your organisation. Furthermore, where did I ever say that the initial discussions were, “against my free will”? You really do need to represent the events accurately Ms Sia because even this latest diatribe from you is littered with assumptions and misrepresentations of the actual events that took place.

Secondly, you do not have any permanent residence in Malaysia. This fact is sufficient reason for you not to be accepted as either an employee or partner of Gloma Energy PLT. The Management of Gloma Energy PLT is under no obligation to inform you of the legal requirements of the SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia) regarding this matter. This is a matter that you should have personally researched in. I would also like to remind you that you personally went to the office of the SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia) on at least two separate occasions to submit the official application form to be a partner of Gloma Energy PLT and you were told by the government staff in attendance there on each occasion that the application had failed.

In hindsight, I accept that I should have done my own due diligence on the arrangement you claimed we could put into place. Again, I had misguidedly thought that a relationship of trust existed between us such that you as the ‘so-called’ compliance officer would have the skillset to handle the legalities, allowing me the freedom and time to get on with doing what I do best, which is building business and closing sales. Therefore I concede that trusting you to expedite the legal requirements of the partnership was an error of judgement on my part.

Thirdly, you were neither an employee nor a partner in Gloma Energy PLT. Therefore it is impossible for you to have incurred any loss of reputation as a result of working for Gloma Energy PLT since you were neither an employee nor a partner of Gloma Energy PLT.

In order to build business for Gloma I was given the explicit permission (by you) to represent your “Company” name to my business partners in various markets. By undertaking to do this (with the fullest knowledge and approval from Gloma), any dealings I had with my partners that later became sullied due to their realisation that you were in fact merely acquiring product from China and repackaging it, directly impacted on my personal credibility with at least one friend and business partner in particular. His conjecture that having made a singularly bad decision to represent you, I may be prone to makeing other mistakes in our dealings together, did negatively impact on my reputation with him. Furthermore, I agree that I was never an employee of Gloma and don’t flatter yourself that I ever would have been, because had you approached me with some sort of job offer, the flat rejection you would have had from me, means that we would not have had the resulting debacle that followed. As for partner, again it comes down to verbal agreements made, but you did indeed assert to me that notwithstanding the fact that no legal entity had yet been formed, I was under full authority from Gloma to represent myself as a partner, for the purposes of business development and lead generation and sales closure activities, which indeed I duly did.

Fourthly, any expenses/costs incurred by you in your initial meetings with the Management of Gloma Energy PLT were at your personal discretion.You did not have to attend the initial meetings if you did not desire to do so. The Management never agreed to reimburse you for any expenses incurred by you for these initial meetings.

There was a verbal agreement that a profit share arrangement would be put into place under the auspices of the partnership. The fact that the legal entity you were creating could not possibly include me and that this fact was known to you, is sufficient for me to assume that you never had any intentions of remunerating me a single cent at any point then or in the future. Upon realising this, I feel ethically you were under a moral obligation to compensate me for my out of pocket expenses and my time which of course, you have flatly refused to do.

Fifthly, Gloma Energy PLT did not receive any business intelligence of value from you during any of the initial meetings. On the contrary, you have gained significant insider knowledge of the business workings of Gloma Energy PLT and have made these confidential information public by your blatant disclosure of such confidential information in this website. You were specifically told by the Management of Gloma Energy PLT that the information discussed in the initial meetings were confidential information for your eyes and ears only.

Can you please attach a copy of the confidentiality agreement as proof that I ever signed up to such an arrangement? You cannot, because there is none. The business was all done on trust (much to my disadvantage and cost in the end) and the only reason I have disclosed information about the inner workings of your business, is because I feel it is my public duty and that there may well come a time when others are similarly duped. It is my own business integrity that compels me to warn people of how you operate and clearly there is nothing in this for me and personally speaking. In point of fact, I desire that you would just disappear, as I have long since put this wretched experience behind me. However, it is you that seems to want to keep resurrecting this unhappy and sorry episode and since you have no intention of doing the decent thing and keeping quiet, I am here again having to justify myself to yet more of your factually incorrect and misleading statements.

Finally, Gloma Energy PLT hereby reserves the right to take appropriate legal actions against you for the disclosure by you of confidential information to the general public and for your continued defamation of the character of Cindy Sia through this website.

Ditto! I have tolerated quite enough of YOUR defamatory remarks and made none against you. Defamation occurs when one party publishes either written or verbally, damaging comments about a person which are untrue. There is not a single fact mentioned by me about the dealings I had with you or your repackaging business that is untrue. On the contrary, your assertion that I could join a partnership with your company knowing full well that this was (under the law) impossible was a blatant act of deceit and I have no fears from you or the law on such a matter. Note that I also hereby reserve my right to take appropriate legal action against Cindy Sia and Gloma should you publish any further damaging and untrue allegations against me. In my prior message I wrote this “Ms Sia, I strongly suggest you consider very carefully before posting any more remarks anywhere which call into question my probity in my dealings with you.” Yet you still continue to post your rants here. Therefore, be duly informed that there will be no further comment from me, merely action if you fail to cease and desist in your attempts to misrepresent the facts in order to excuse your inexcusable behaviour. My contact details remain as before should anyone wish to contact me directly on the matters raised in this discourse.
