When one of the FCB staff told me that the management had called staff meeting asking them not to write anything in bhutanliterature.blogspot.com, I had a mixed feeling of both sadness and happiness. I was sad because people would be left in darkness if the people no longer commented and the suppression of any unethical would be taken to new heights. The comments passed on by many staff in my blog updated staff and others across the world about what was happening in FCB and how staff digested it. In absence of grievance redressal or whistleblower policy in FCB, the erstwhile FCB management was on wild elephant rampage, and as a result, the staff had no choice but to vent their frustrations through my blog. They needed a channel to pass on the message to the management that not all things are tolerated and the world outside needed to know that something was not going right in FCB. I think their messages, even if it was in its crudest form and language, have been delivered and remains to be read by people of all generations in the future.
However, I was happy that if people no longer commented and shared information, my blog could now be re-engineered to focus on Bhutanese literature for which it was actually created. Bhutanliterature was created in 2008-2009 while I was studying in Bangkok to keep myself gainfully engaged in Bhutanese literature as the blog name suggests. I had no clue then that my blog would be used for fighting mismanagement, corruption, inefficiencies and unfair treatment by the management of one of the oldest companies in Bhutan. What bothered me was the way the erstwhile FCB management carried out systematic manipulation of accounts, arms twisting of people, suppressing and misrepresenting of facts by even changing the investigation reports, deleting data from the backend and creating shortages. The evidences available speak for themselves.
If there are any problems arising in a company involving staff, the affected employee look upon the management to carryout UNBIASED investigation, provide fair and just view of the issues and resolve AMICABLY so that everyone has a fair deal. The management is expected to make transparent deal and make responsibility based on facts and not on manipulated documents. An investigation team is not a JURY or JUDGE which has been empowered to pass JUDGMENT. Every employee, including the CEO is an employee who will work in an organization for fixed period of time and he is not above the law. As the CEO, he has a moral responsibility to be fair and impartial, having character of a moral. Today, we live in a country where there are thousands of educated people who can differentiate between RIGHT and WRONG. And anyone who can differentiate between right and wrong knows how to appreciate the rights and stand against the wrongs.
But my intention of writing this article is not to villify Karma Nidup and demonize him. However, its important that such mistakes are indicated so that everyone moves forward. As one of the oldest organizations in the country, the organization should spearhead new dynamics in management and one way of doing that is having Staff Grievance Redressal mechanism or Whistleblowing policy instead of discouraging people from writing in my blog. Employees are the first people in the organization to know if something is going wrong inside. Encouraging them to report would prevent organizations from major embarrassment in the future. The company may like to get the first hand information directly from dependable sources than from second hand sources like my blog. The staff may not be comfortable in revealing their identity for fear of being victimized but it makes sense for an organization to provide channels to reveal gross violations of citizens’ rights, failures of accountability, or corruption in the organization that are of immediate or potential danger to the public interest. It contributes to institutional transparency and prevents potential abuse of corporate power. It's a form of civil dissent, that is a conscientious act against the corporate and public powers when they endanger the public interest.
The staff in FCB are exposed to many risks. The fact that the Source Code of FCB system is managed by FCB ICT team and that team makes all the changes in the system from the Backend of the System is the greatest danger. If a data is deleted from the system from the backend, there is no audit trial of who has deleted the data and the people like Jeet Bdr. Biswa had done that before. Further, the weak check and balance in the system, including the weak internal control, makes FCB ever vulnerable. Having dissected FCB's data during the system audit and afterwards, I can prove beyond reasonable doubts that the FCB data has been grossly manipulated.

FCB deals in food items which is highly perishable. Other than a small cold storage store at Wang Sisina, FCB do not have cold storage facilities in the whole country. 46 years in the business and not a single good cold storage shows how myopic the FCB management is.
FCB has stocks in the whole country but when it comes to supply of food during pandemic, FCB was not able to cover one town like Phuentsholing also. Not only was the service slow and difficult, the staff insisting on cash payment was also showed how incompetent the management was, while the RMA was trying to encourage digital payment.FCB should learn Home Delivery system from Druk Pizza and Karma Dhaba, two small companies operating not only during pandemic but also during normal times. This is the business of the future and now.
Bhutan is a small country and proper supply chain management will resolve all isssues in the future. Maybe its time to have someone who has better vision
We FCB staff working very hard to meet people demand. We stay at work and not go back to our dear family. We agree there many problems but we also agree we work very hard to meet the public need. So let us not scold ourselves.
I found some interesting evidences which you will be excited to hear. You won't believe what the evidences show. The connection was suspected but now it can be proven.
I will meet you when you are in phuentsholing. I have asked someone to let me know when you are here la.
Stay home. stay safe.
i have dropped documents with pling nppf office related to some money transcations done by samten choden. i think it will help you la.
plz call your pling office and get the copy la.
I also have some document found few days ago. I can send you the copy if you want la. please do let me know where to send la.
Its related to samten choden
Please check your email la. I have sent some interesting documents related to Ugyen chedup, pema wangchuk and sangay wangdi's side business la. jeet, samten and pema wangchuk's bank transaction details also sent la. you will see some interesting transactions there also la.
So good luck to Karma Nidup, sangay Wangdi and others including Pema Wangchuk, jeet, Champay and tshering dorji. Good luck to current FCB management also and hopefully you will enjoy the court verdict soon to pay compensation and damage to champay.
Karma Nidup has not stopped his bullshits in Bhutan Post. My sister who works there says he lies openly and boasts of his leadership in FCB and we all know what he did to FCB. Mother fucker. can't believe he is still alive
I have some documents to prove that the past FCB management was fully aware about who the people involved in crime were and they deliberately implicated your father fully knowing who did the dirty work. if you need the documents, please meet me when you come to phunthsholing. I will update you of my contact with your Regional Office staff in phuentsholing . It may help you put some people in the prison. some may have to come back from australia and some may lose job and business in samdrup jongkhar
Well, Tshering Sir, nothing to worry la. The Pling court has already acquitted your father and other court orders will not change. It is just that it will take time but in the end, only FCB will lose because they have no documents to prove anything. So they will not get the shortage money, they will pay fines and penalty and also pay compensation. The crores of money lost to shortages and nothing recovered plus pay salary to thieves like pema wangchuk, jit and sangay wang di. What kind of company is this ya?
Every month of delay is going to cost FCB 2% of the audit money in fines and penalties. Now Champay sir case is already 8 months. So FCB can calculate the penalty they will pay to Audit.
all the best to everyone now
So the pattern was there since long time and the management had successfully brainwashed ACC and OAG but unfortunately all evidences betrayed FCB
It is refreshing to see now look of the blog. I wanted to ask you to change the look of it and now it looks better and more professional.
By the ways, I have some more documents which you may need soon la. I will mail it to you soon. If you happen to come to Phuentsholing, please do let me know la.
So sorry for late response. I just changed the look of the blog. I have not added adsense for now but if you want it, I can add on the right edge, there is lot of empty space there. You may also like to add some pictures that you like and make it more friendly. Now that all documents you require are at your disposal, you should move to writing real Bhutan literature material. Rest assured, don't worry about the blog being hacked. Many people have attempted to hack it but I can administer it, so nothing to worry.
Otherwise, hope everything is good. Sorry that I have been out of touch for a while. Quite busy.
Pak Shi Tsui
If you want documents related to sangay wangdi and samten Choden, I have three documents. Also I have some documents related to ngawang jigme.
Similarly, I have another set of documents where Pema Wangchuk and Jit were doing Ripee transaction during 2013. If you want these documents, I ll give you all but I also need something from you.We can meet when you come to pling.
27 documents given to your office staff to be delivered to you which I think you will need in court soon.good luck la and please don't stop fighting la. You have win the case and you will win the case . Please beat the fcb management into dust.
fcb management is involved in covering uo many things. recently , we heard that the legal guy was involved in misusing cash and it was hushed. pema wanngcguk in SJ who is accused of stealing rice has been given protection by FCB management and champay sir, who rejected the rice for quality reason has been called to court again and again. also, jeet who inv loved in data manipulation is enjoying salary as if nothing happened.
so who will trust fcb management to give us fairness. so i also give all the documents i have yo the blogger. let him at least prove his father innocent . fcb geo should know that just lip service is not good. you should show in example. if you are scared of criticism, you should not work in corporation . if prime minister and ministers can ve criticized, ceo is nothing
now that we have one case which we watching very closely. the management trying to hide the case and keeping as if nothing happened. this shows that this management is also part of the corryutpin team. so we staff thinking that the contract of this CEO should not be renewed also. he is just talk and no action.
i have found some documents related to rice case few days ago. i can send you the documents but i need your email id or your WeChat or whatssapp no. i think this will help you a lot la. please do not leave anyone in FCB la. The current CEO only looks simple and nice from outside but like someone saying above, he is also one of the snakes. he knew who is involved in corruption but he not doing anything so he is also a party to the crime la. so please fix these guys well. let them get the taste of their own medicines
i give the documents to your regional office in phuentsholing la.
When Pema Wangchuk was HR Head, under Kinzang Namgyel, he misused his power and hurt many people. Even under Karma Nidup, he started to abuse power and did things which was beyond the scope of his work and power. He took for granted that he could do anything he wanted like he was in HR.
Then comes the Champay Sir case. When the shortage were discovered in the beginning, Pema Wangchuk was fully aware of the shortages and how it happened. He was aware that the shortages had happened because ICT had removed data from the backend. Instead of making objective investigations, he was involved in stealing rice and trying to implicate Champay Sir. The things happened as it should have happened. The staff who were hurt by Pema Wangchuk collected all the required documents and reached it to Champay Sir's son. Now, Pema Wangchuk has no choice but to accept the fact that he has to pay for the rice, shortages of Champay sir other than the sugar case . FCB management tried to help him. They listened to him and tried to implicate Champay Sir, but unfortunately, all documents, no matter how hard FCB tried to hide, all was in Champay Sir son's hand. In the court, what is required is document proof la and if documents are against you, the case is against you.
Now FCB management extending court case is going to be costly for Pema Wangchuk. Every year, the penalty of 24% is applied on the outstanding case and every month is 2% extra payment to be made. So Pema Wangchuk stands to pay more than 22 lakhs actually in the rice case. That he bought himself. So he deserved it.
Whats the lesson for everyone of us. Just because you are in power do not give you right to hurt other people. This is how people take revenge. Maybe they can't hurt you back directly but they will cripple you indirectly by becoming friends with your enemy. I have supplied all the documents i have and I know it will hurt you badly.
Helping someone sometimes hurt them more than helping la. Pema Wangchuk stands to pay 22 lakhs now in cost of the rice , penalty and other fine. If FCB management had taken right decision long time back, maybe he would have to pay less or no penalty. Where will Pema Wangchuk get 22 lakhs? He gets salary from FCB, so FCB will be paying the penalty.
Thats just for the rice case. Other case is coming soon too.
I hope Pema Wangchuk has learnt your lesson in expensive ways. Once the penalty and fine is paid, you will become worst than the begger. I will be satisfied fully to see you rot and decay because you hurt me badly when you were HR Head
This is what we call Karma. The things you shit comes back to you because the world is round. I never met tshering sir before but i knew he was fighting for his father and he has been able to prove his father's innocence through court. now the case is not about court hearing, its now about audit payment in penalties and fines.
so now, pema wangchuk can curse his forehead and think that your karma has f finally ripened and rotted.
two letters signed by sangay wangdi available with me la. i think it is connected to the shortage cases la
So now maybe its time to look for money soon or else audit recovery is very short window to pay
fcb management not taking any action on someone involved in taking money is a message that fcb management is just talk and no show. so naturally i will go to people who stand for cause
I dont know whether Jit and Pema Wangchuk can pay or not but I am sure Jit will be bailed out by some people like samten Choden who advised him to remove data
The greed after all is a costly business. In the end, two people loses everything while people like Samten Choden got smarter and left the job knowing well that if she stayed longer in FCB, she would lose her retirement benefits. Well, she was smart but not very smart . She will know why soon. Because every criminal always leave some traces behind and that traces have led to her den. The documents that are getting circulated and exposed shows very clearly what was happening in FCB in 2012-2013. All truths gets exposed anyways one fine day. People really planned and played very well but in the end we all have to die. For Jit, Pema and even for FCB, it would be best to speed the court process so that they pay lesser. For Champay sir, it would be better if the case takes longer time because he can maximize on the compensation and damages. The penalty of 24% per annum is four times more of the prevailing bank rate. That means, it would be very good business to get 24% rate of return from FCB than savings in the banks.
I can't see my own future but i see the future of 2 people at least here. If jit is smart, he may well understand the implication of court verdict. No one can change it except the higher court and looks like the court hearing in Chukha will be the end of the journey for FCB and Jit.
All is well that ends well but I have definitely reason to celebrate soon. Beer on the house
All staff knew who else were involved. Some chose to stay quiet, some chose to side with the management and yet some chose to stand by the truth. For those of you who provided documentary evidences to me, I would like to thank you all. You are always in my heart and definitely the help was nothing short of godly act.
Thank you all once again and surely, we will meet to drink beer together soon.
Plz don't leave Pema Wangchuk. Let him be stripped naked and make him go begging but dont leave him la. Your father case, if pema wangchuk wanted, could have been resolved well but he refused to do that and act smart. actually, he is responsible 200% for the case and i remember you coming to FCB try resolve. he and FCB management , including karma nidup at that time know that a data can only be removed from server by IT. If at that time pema wangchuk had carried out proper investigation and had made Jeet talk, the truth would have come out that time only.
Now that ACC investigation is over and you have won the case in the Pling court, dont leave any bastards la. Fix everyone. And dont worry about Jeet. Once accountability for 54 lakhs is put in his head, he will have no choice but to pay or else he risk going to jail fro 200 years.
And for pema wangchuk, acting smart but without content is his style. he was more into licking boots and ass of past CEO. Its just that he ran out of his luck due to the rice case and now he is in SJ burning down the godown. Everyone know what he is capable of doing. As a FECD Head, he was into making small profits selling FCB products here and there and trying to favor the suppliers. This is what happens. I was praying since 2007 for this guy to suffer and I am sure he is now going through mental torture trying to convince court how to make your father pay but I heard from other senior staff that he is now become like fly in spider web. The more he tries to free himself, more trapped he become.
i hops this is a lesson to current FCB CEO also. In the process of helping your relative, you may also fall into trap. I thought this guy was good guy but i notice that he is just not the right guy. he is just another civil servant who came here for opportunity. not much a change in FCB, same old fcb with shortages and theft hidden and not exposed and interesting thing is he protects those people who are involved in crime like pema wangchuk and legal chap so who would trust him
when is your next court hearing la? i found some important letter which will help you i think la. I can sent through WeChat or email la. please do let leave me your phone no la or i can drop in your regional office here in ping la.
i also heard that rice case was cooked up by pema wangchuk and megraj gurung. since pema wangchuk had carried out manipulation in his capacity as FECD head, FCB will have to bear the loss. so it means, FCB will have to bear the loss and also pay penalty to the audit . looks like FCB is finished now
I still have not found that particular document which you asked me. I hope to do so soon but I have found another one which will interest you la. I ll mail you soon.
Someone told me to inform you that person gas found the document you looking for. That person wants something from you. I can arrange meeting if you interested.
How can FCB win case when legal is eating money which he should collect and deposit. when IT, legal and GMs are all involved in eating money, we can see how FCB became bankrupt la.
now that fcb lose case against champay , who bear the loss la. fcb staff working very hard and make some small profit and on another side, fcb pay all fines and penalty, how keep fcb alive. it should be recovered from fcb ceo's pocket. what use pay so much salary and then have leaking company
is it possible meet you la? some interesting documents found la. it may be used in court la
However, as a staff, I feel and also all staff feel and discuss that the management is very weak. People like ex-legal, who misused the fund should have been persecuted but instead, the management silently sent him off. The misuse must have been there for many years but the management had no clue of what's happening. This is de-motivating us. Recently, i heard from one staff that FCB has lost all the court case against Champay Sir. For one case related to rice, I was told that FCB lost 3 times and chances of winning one appeal case also look very dark. This means, FCB has to pay not only the agencies like Audit and Customs but also compensation. Those senior management, do not have to pay anything but enjoy benefits of PSA but company loses from profit.
So whatever hardwork common staff like we put, is useless if all the profit we make are to be paid as fines and penalties and compensation for loss of cases. Shouldn't the people responsible for making decision be held accountable since they are paid the PSA related to position.
So this is the biggest punishment the god can give to people who messed with other people. Pema Wangchuk is known for all the outrageous things he did when he was HRAD Head. Even the ex SFO did not talk with him. Now that the blogger has caught him on his testes, he is now walking in fluid. I heard that the rice case has gone in favor of him and blogger but against FCB but all audit memo and documents against him, he better show some money now. What a mess for FCB but I guess their life will hang in confusion, not going anywhere except court and audit office
Yes, they lose in terms of salary increment due to lost promotion, retirement benefits and also maybe some TADA.
I don't know about Pema Wangchuk but ICT Head is gone case since it is criminal case and the years taken to resolve issue will only only be painful for him since longer it takes, more money he has to pay to RAA audit recovery. The court case may taken 10 to 15 years and in that case, FCB will not get back the money also.
Do Jeet have resource to pay? Maybe....because he is not confessing in court also. If he had confessed the truth in the court, the burden would have been distributed among those who shared the profit from illegal sales like Samten and Sangay Wangdi. With Samten left the work to open shop after buying down SJ godown , and Sangay wangdi in Australia, Jeet is left alone, very dry.
Poor guy lost all the chances of promotion and training outside Bhutan but he is still quiet so far. Audit is waiting for money and once the court verdict is over, that's the end of Jeet. He just has some 1 year of breathing time before his ass is set on fire by PAC and Audit. Until then he can help at Auction Yard. The management putting him at Auction as someone's assistant and not working in the system is an indication to him " hang around until court verdict is over."
While we are striving each day to contribute revenue and bring budiness to the corporation, there are Some who are simply enjoying PSA with negative input. The current management is also so week and same like before helping to protect corrupted peoples and taking no action. I find lots of loop holes in current management...i am geeting the instinct and feeling to start embezzling, plan an be prepare to smartly sneak out when time nears without any notice...
I am confident other employees in depots are feeling the same...
when you come to pling, plz let me know la. i have some papers for you.
what a mess, fCB has legal department who advises management and fcb if it can't win a case, why did they go to court at all? i doubt if fcb management will put the case to board also. what a shame for a company to lose case and all money. people like us work very hard to bring some business and here, the company is not even able to recover some sure shot money. this is how staff like us are demoralized and demotivated. those people who took the money like karma nidup, sangay wangdi and others are gone. we are left wit some useless people now. no wonder fcb will never make any profit.
