Muhyiddin wants allegations in WSJ report investigated
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (pic) has called on all agencies, especially the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Bank Negara Malaysia and the police, along with the Attorney-General’s Chambers to investigate all allegations made against Najib.
“I am confident the investigation will be conducted thoroughly and in a transparent manner.
“Ultimately, we want the truth,” he said in a statement on Saturday.
“I am really worried about this revelation as it is claimed that the money was derived from a few entities with links to 1Malaysia Development Board (1MDB).
“This is a very serious allegation that can jeopardise his credibility and integrity as the Prime Minister and the leader of the Government,” he said.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that the latest round of allegations has also attracted the interest of the rakyat and the international media, and that it was a matter of public interest.
Muhyiddin also suggested that Najib himself give a convincing explanation or denial as the allegation was personal.
“If he is confident all allegations are untrue and mere lies, then it is wise for him to take legal action against those who made the allegations in the first place.
“This is to clear his name and preserve the Government’s credibility,” he said.
Muhyiddin also called on all parties to stay calm as he believed the truth will come out eventually.
“I am praying that Allah will give us the tawfiq and hidayah for us to solve this problem as well as grant continuous prosperity to the rakyat and country,” he said.

WSJ defends explosive Najib-1MDB reports as lawsuit looms
Saturday July 4, 2015
12:03 PM GMT+8
12:03 PM GMT+8
The Wall Street Journal claimed that the
money trail shows that some US$700 million were moved between government
agencies, banks and companies before it ended up in Najib’s accounts.
KUALA
LUMPUR, July 4 — Attacked by Putrajaya, US daily Wall Street Journal has
insisted that its latest report on a money trail of some US$700 million (RM2.6
billion) from 1 Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) into the personal bank
accounts of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak are based on “solid” and
“reliable” documents known to top government officials investigating the state
investor’s finances.
WSJ’s Hong Kong bureau chief Ken Brown
told US broadcaster CNBC’s Street Signs in an edited 2.43-minute phone
interview uploaded last Thursday that its reports were based on documents
that “had been shared with the Malaysian attorney-general, with others in the
government so they’ve been seen by all and also the prime minister”.
Brown did not disclose how WSJ sighted the documents but stressed
that his reporting team took a very serious view of the story that concerns the
fate of Malaysia’s top leader and the huge sum of public money.
He acknowledged that the ongoing national-level scrutiny of 1MDB’s
accounts have turned into a “highly-politicised story”.
“We are very careful and we believe the investigation and the documents we
have are very, you know, solid and come from a very reliable investigation and
not a political investigation.
“And if the evidence shows money had forwarded into his accounts, personal
accounts and government deals, it’s hugely dramatic,” he said in the video,
under questioning from the show’s anchors.
In an explosive report yesterday, WSJ claimed some US$700 million
were moved among government agencies, banks and companies before it ended up in
Najib’s personal accounts.
These documents, the international business paper claimed, include bank
transfer forms and flowcharts put together by investigators to shed light on
1MDB’s cash flow.
The paper said this is the first time a direct connection to Najib has
been established in the probe on 1MDB.
The allegations however had first been highlighted by controversial
London-based whistleblower site Sarawak Report.
Brown noted that the Prime Minister’s Office had been dismissive of the
money trail link when WSJ approached it for comment.
“They basically said the prime minister is not taking any funds for
personal use and they’re accusing political opponents of coming up with this
story and that’s the kind of stuff they said from our earlier story about 1MDB
and the money; the fund was used in the last election campaign by the prime
minister,” he told CNBC.
Questioned for his view on the origins of the money, Brown said one batch
came from a unit in the Finance Ministry while another was “from this private
bank that’s affiliated with Abu Dhabi, which as you know has very close ties
with Malaysia and in fact some of these 1MDB bonds and stuff like that”.
“Where the money went, we don’t know. Basically, the trail we have ends at
the bank account that has the prime minister’s name on it,” he said.
Critics have been pestering the federal government to disclose its opaque
deals with International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) for a questionable
loan to debt-riddled 1MDB ever since Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad
Husni Hanadzlah announced that the state-owned investment firm would receive a
US$1 billion injection from Abu Dhabi-based IPIC and its subsidiary Aabar
Investments.
The sum was meant to help 1MDB pay off a US$975 million loan that was
being recalled ahead of its due date by a consortium of international bank
lenders due allegedly to the controversy surrounding the firm.
The repayment eliminated the risk of a cross default on the entirety of
1MDB’s RM42 billion in debts had the consortium declared the state-owned
strategic investment firm to be delinquent.
In his Facebook post last night, the embattled Najib pointed out that all
the attacks against him and 1MDB were not been backed by evidence, adding that
they part of a concerted campaign to sabotage and remove him as country’s
democratically-elected prime minister.
The 61-year-old also accused former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
of spearheading the attacks in a bid to undermine his leadership.
In the latest development today, the prime minister’s political secretary
Datuk Muhammad Khairun Aseh was also reported by Malay daily Sinar Harian
that Putrajaya will take legal action against WSJ for what he described
as “malicious and unsubstantiated” reports based on “weak and dubious sources”.

Attacking Dr M over WSJ expose only boosts report’s
credibility, ex-minister claims

Former Information Minister Tan Sri Zainuddin
Maidin pointed out that the world recognises Dr Mahathir as a financial
champion for getting Malaysia through the Asian financial crisis and described
the elder statesman as a voice of the Third World and a Muslim voice respected
by the West.
KUALA LUMPUR, July 5 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s
accusation that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was behind the Wall Street Journal
(WSJ) expose claiming that billions were channeled from 1 Malaysia Development
Berhad (1MDB) to his personal bank accounts only strengthens the credibility of
the report as the former prime minister is highly respected globally, a former
minister said.
Former Information Minister Tan Sri Zainuddin Maidin pointed out that the
world recognises Dr Mahathir as a financial champion for getting Malaysia
through the Asian financial crisis and described the elder statesman as a voice
of the Third World and a Muslim voice respected by the West.
“Mahathir still has much authority as a world leader, respected by friend
and foe alike, not just in politics but also in economics, and for his
intellect too,” Zainuddin wrote on his blog yesterday.
“Meanwhile, Datuk Seri Najib is still stuck trying to overcome political
and economic challenges in rebuilding a strong government,” he added.
Najib said Friday that Dr Mahathir was working with foreign nationals and
accused his predecessor of being behind the latest allegation in the WSJ,
a US paper.
The report described a money trail of about US$700 million (RM2.6 billion)
from state-owned 1MDB going through several companies like former 1MDB
subsidiary SRC International and Ihsan Perdana, which does corporate social
responsibility for 1MDB, before allegedly ending up in Najib’s personal bank
accounts two months before the 13th general election in 2013.
Zainuddin said Najib had lost credibility not just because of 1MDB, but also
because the prime minister had abolished the Internal Security Act (ISA),
initially attempted to repeal the Sedition Act, implemented the Goods and
Services Tax (GST), and gave an unconvincing answer on the use of the
government jet during the mass floods in the east coast.
The ex-minister also cited the Najib administration’s “weak” foreign
policy, its cooperation with Singapore and Najib’s siblings’ denial that their
father had left behind a hefty inheritance.
Their statement was issued last February in response to the Prime
Minister’s Office’s remarks to the New York Times — which had
highlighted the spending of Najib’s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, on designer
handbags and jewellery — that money spent was not unusual for a person of the
prime minister’s position and “legacy family assets”.
“Weak information management that includes lateness, non-inclusivity,
inaccuracy in answering questions, using cheap personalities, generally known
lack of integrity and lack of professionalism in several issues reflect the
failure to fix the image of the leadership and to promote the government’s
image,” said the former information minister.
Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail confirmed yesterday that a
special team comprising the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), the
police and Bank Negara have started investigating the alleged flow of funds
from 1MDB to Najib's personal bank accounts.
He also said he has received documents on the alleged fund transfers.
