Anak sulung Sosilawati urus perniagaan kosmetik

Erni dilantik Pengarah Urusan Nouvelle Beauty Februari lalu

KUALA LUMPUR: Anak sulung jutawan kosmetik, Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya, 47, Erni Dekritawati Yuliana Bukhari, 25, akan menguruskan perniagaan produk kosmetik jenama Nouvell Visages susulan kematian ibunya.

Erni yang dilantik sebagai Pengarah Urusan Nouvelle Beauty Sdn Bhd sejak Februari lalu oleh ibunya, berkata meskipun seluruh keluarganya masih menunggu keputusan DNA berhubung penemuan mayat kelmarin, buat sementara waktu beliau akan menguruskan empayar perniagaan itu.

Katanya, perniagaan masih berjalan seperti biasa dan stabil tanpa peningkatan atau kemerosotan permintaan daripada stokis di seluruh negara, walaupun kes itu sedang hangat diperkatakan.

“Urusan perniagaan dan kes ini dua hal berbeza untuk dibincang kerana setakat ini perniagaan tidak terjejas.

“Bagaimanapun, operasi perniagaan ditutup bermula 10 September lalu dan akan dibuka seperti biasa Rabu ini,” katanya ketika ditemui di perkarangan pejabat Nouvelle Beauty Sdn Bhd, di sini semalam.

Tinjauan ke Pejabat Nouvelle Beauty di Jalan Raja Bot, Kampung Baru di sini mendapati ia ditutup sempena Aidilfitri berdasarkan notis makluman di pintu masuk premis.
Erni menjelaskan, kehadirannya ke premis terbabit bagi mengambil dokumen penting berkaitan urusan perniagaan bagi menyelesaikan kes mahkamah, namun enggan mengulas lanjut sama ada berkaitan kehilangan ibunya.

Sementara itu, suasana di CIMB Bank cawangan Kampung Baru di sini, iaitu tempat Noorhisham Mohammad, antara rakan Sosilawati yang turut dibunuh bekerja, pula kelihatan seperti biasa sejak dibuka jam 8.30 pagi, semalam.

Seorang kakitangan bank berkenaan yang ditemui Bernama berkata, pemergian Noorhisham tetap meninggalkan kesan yang mendalam kepada rakan setugas.

Katanya, pemergian Noorhisham adalah kehilangan besar kepada bank itu kerana beliau pekerja dedikasi dan komited terhadap pekerjaannya.

“Saya percaya jika rakan setugas anda ‘pergi’ pun, mungkin perasaan sama akan dirasai,” katanya.

Empire made from scratch

PETALING JAYA: The cosmetics empire reportedly worth millions of ringgit belonging to Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya was founded on humble beginnings.

Equipped with only an SPM qualification, the Batu Pahat lass’ first stint in the cosmetics industry involved selling the products from door to door.

She subsequently founded Nouvelle Beauty Care Sdn Bhd in 1998, with the first store launched at Plaza Berjaya. Its success quickly saw the opening of the second branch in Kampung Baru.

The company developed the Nouvelle Visages line of cosmetics, which is retailed and carried by over 300 stockists across the country.

The Nouvelle Visages empire has also expanded its presence to neighbouring countries Brunei, Singapore and Thailand.

The brand features 30 products. Although it primarily offers beauty products such as facial wash and creams, the brand is also stamped on selected household maintenance products including detergents and fabric softeners.

Sosilawati rancang jual tanah di Bukit Jambul

Berita Harian Online | Sosilawati rancang jual tanah di Bukit Jambul

Jutawan kosmetik rancang senarai syarikat di Bursa Malaysia

GOMBAK: Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya sebenarnya bercadang menjual tanah seluas 4 hektar miliknya di Bukit Jambul, Pulau Pinang sebelum beliau hilang dan bukan mahu membeli tanah di negeri berkenaan seperti dilaporkan sebelum ini.

Pendedahan itu dibuat sahabat karib jutawan kosmetik terbabit, Datuk Suhaimi Ibrahim yang kali terakhir berbual dengan Sosilawati melalui telefon pada 29 Ogos lalu, iaitu sehari sebelum dia dilaporkan hilang.
“Sebelum puasa, Sosilawati berjumpa saya untuk berbincang mengenai penjualan tanahnya di Bukit Jambul, selain mendapatkan nasihat mengenai cadangan mahu menyenaraikan syarikatnya di Bursa Malaysia.

“Pada perjumpaan itu di Hotel Sheraton dan Hotel Park Royal di Kuala Lumpur, Sosilawati menceritakan cadangan penyenaraian itu dan juga mengenai penjualan tanahnya bernilai RM12 juta di Bukit Jambul dan meminta nasihat saya.

“Malah, dalam perbualan pada 29 Ogos itu, Sosilawati turut mengajak saya ke Banting untuk urusan penjualan hartanah berkenaan, tetapi saya tidak dapat ikut berikutan ada urusan lain. Bagaimanapun, beliau tidak memaklumkan siapa yang akan ditemuinya di Banting,” katanya.

Beliau berkata, tanah terbabit dibeli Sosilawati kira-kira enam tahun lalu dengan harga RM2 juta, dan memutuskan untuk menjualnya pada harga RM12 juta bagi mengumpul aset untuk membolehkan penyenaraian syarikatnya.
Mengulas lanjut, Suhaimi yang juga Setiausaha Politik kepada Menteri Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, berkata pertemuan lanjut dirancang pada 31 Ogos, tetapi usaha untuk menghubungi Sosilawati gagal.

“Berikutan itu, saya membuat laporan polis dan memaklumkan kepada media atas nasihat Shahrizat,” katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di rumah Sosilawati di Taman Harmonis di sini, semalam.

Sementara itu, sumber memberitahu Berita Harian, tanah milik Sosilawati terletak di kawasan bukit di belakang Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).

Sumber itu berkata, pada mulanya seorang pemaju dari Negeri Sembilan berminat membelinya, bagaimanapun urusan jual beli gagal kerana tanah berkenaan dikategorikan sebagai kawasan hijau dan mempunyai syarat terhad iaitu pokok di sekitarnya tidak boleh ditebang.

“Apabila tanah terbabit gagal dijual, Sosilawati meminta peguamnya membantu mencari pembeli baru, tetapi saya dimaklumkan peguamnya tidak dapat mencari pembeli sesuai,” kata sumber ketika dihubungi, semalam.

Isteri percaya Noorhisham masih hidup

Berita Harian Online | Isteri percaya Noorhisham masih hidup

AMPANG: “Perasaan saya kuat mengatakan suami masih hidup dan akan kembali ke pangkuan keluarga,” kata Suzana Radin Pangat, 38, isteri Noorhisham Mohamad, 38, Perunding Kewangan Peribadi CIMB cawangan Kampung Baru yang dibunuh bersama Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya.

Katanya, besar harapan mereka sekeluarga mahu suami selamat, bukan berita beliau dibunuh dengan kejam serta mayatnya dibakar.
“Saya tidak dimaklumkan keputusan forensik tulang yang dijumpai itu milik suami, jadi saya beranggapan beliau masih hidup dan akan kembali.
“Masih ada harapan buat kami sekeluarga, mungkin serpihan tulang itu milik empat individu lain yang hilang selepas berurusan dengan peguam berkenaan setahun lalu,” kata beliau di rumahnya di sini, semalam.

Katanya, polis hanya memaklumkan penemuan tulang itu dan belum mengesahkan ia milik suaminya serta akan memberi laporan rasmi pada masa terdekat.

“Kami tidak akan mengadakan solat jenazah dan hanya membuat tahlil dengan harapan semua yang hilang kembali dengan selamat.

“Harapan untuk mengadakan sambutan hari lahir suami hari ini (semalam) dengan meriah seperti dipinta Noorhisham diganti dengan majlis tahlil,” katanya.
Suzana yang dikurniakan tiga cahaya mata berusia lima hingga 15 tahun turut menyifatkan tindakan individu yang membakar empat mayat sebagai kejam dan tidak berperikemanusiaan.

“Saya boleh terima jika mendapat tahu suami dibunuh kerana boleh melihat mayatnya untuk disemadikan, namun sebaik mendengar mayat dibakar dan dibuang, sukar untuk terima,” katanya.

“Bagaimanapun, saya reda jika ia betul walaupun terlalu berat untuk menanggungnya terutama menggalas tanggungjawab membesarkan tiga anak yang masih kecil,” katanya yang turut menceritakan perkara sebenar kepada tiga anaknya.

Beliau berkata, sejak berita kejadian menimpa suaminya, beliau tidak mampu membaca surat khabar dan menonton televisyen, sebaliknya hanya dimaklumkan ahli keluarga.

Sementara itu, Pengarah Eksekutif Kumpulan CIMB, Datuk Mohd Shukry Hussin ketika menziarah keluarga Noorhisham turut melahirkan perasaan simpati terhadap apa yang berlaku.

“Saya harap keluarganya tabah menerima apa yang berlaku dan saya juga terkejut mengenai perkara ini dan masih menunggu laporan rasmi daripada polis,” katanya.

Eldest daughter Rita to inherit estate

GOMBAK: The eldest daughter of murdered Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya is the most likely candidate to inherit the estate of the cosmetics millionaire.

It was understood that Erni Irdawati Dekritawati Yuliana Bukhari (pic), better known as Rita, 25, had said she would ensure her five other siblings were taken care of.

Dozens of friends and family members of Sosilawati were seen visiting her residence in Gombak yesterday, but many remained tight-lipped about the grieving family.

One of them was heard to say that it was important for her loved ones to lend support to each other during this time of mourning.

One of Sosilawati’s business advisers Datuk Suhaimi Ibrahim described the situation inside the mansion at Taman Harmoni here as “really sombre” – as family and friends tried to come to terms with her death in such a gruesome manner.

“It is the work of the devil, an inhumane act,” he added.

He said Sosilawati had wanted to have her company listed on Bursa Malaysia and needed to sell a plot of land in Bukit Jambul to facilitate her financial move.

Suhaimi, the political secretary to Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, said the minister would pay her last respects to Sosilawati here at 11am today.

“When Sosilawati successfully built her business throughout South-East Asia, she gained the admiration of Shahrizat.

“They soon became close friends,” he said.
