Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz has
revealed that the donation to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak came from a
‘brotherly’ nation in the Middle East. – The Malaysian Insider pic by Seth
Akmal,
August 11, 2015. The RM2.6 billion channelled into the prime minister’s
private account was from a “brotherly” nation in the Middle East which wanted
certain parties to win the last general election, says Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri
Abdul Aziz.
The minister of tourism and culture refuted talk that Malaysia might come
under the influence of certain Middle Eastern countries as a result of the
donation received by Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
"The donation was given to us by a friendly nation, a nation which is
not much stronger than us. Not like the US that can influence us," he said
on whether Malaysia would come under the influence foreign power as a result of
the donation.
"But this is just a brotherly nation which wants to
see certain parties win in the general election because we are friendly to
them. There's nothing wrong," he told reporters after the Declaration of
the 2015 National Heritage.
Nazri did not name the Middle Eastern donor.
He said it was more transparent to deposit money in a local bank compared
with banking it into an overseas bank account.
"This money is a donation for the election. How are you going to
bring the money if you don't open an account?
"That's more transparent than you take cash or put the money in Swiss
bank and take it bit by bit," he said, adding that if the money was in a
local bank, the transactions would be recorded.
Najib is under scrutiny for the RM 2.6 billion transferred to his accounts
between 2013 and early this year.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said the funds were a donation
from a Middle Eastern donor and not from debt-ridden state investor 1Malaysia
Development Bhd.
He said Najib was a victim of double standards employed by the opposition.
"I think this is double standards, as no party can come clean and say
that they did not take political donations," he added.
He said every political party had its own donors, as they needed to spend
a lot of money especially during the general election.
"Don't treat this as something unusual. When we want to have laws (on
political funds), they (opposition) object it," he said. – August 11,

PKR sues Najib for breaking election law with RM2.6
billion ‘donation’

Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar speaks at
the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, today.
PKR says Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Najib Razak has broken election laws by accepting a RM2.6 billion
‘donation’ that was used to fund the ruling coalition's campaign in the last
general election. – The Malaysian Insider pic by Nazir Sufari,
August 12,
2015.Opposition party PKR has filed a civil suit against Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Najib Razak for committing election offences, following The Wall Street
Journal’s (WSJ) report over US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) in his personal
accounts, which has now been confirmed as a "donation".
The suit, filed this morning at the Kuala Lumpur High Court through lawyer
Tommy Thomas, also named Barisan Nasional (BN) secretary-general Datuk Seri
Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, state investment firm 1Malaysia Development Berhad
(1MDB) and the Election Commission (EC) as defendants.
The suit was brought by the party's jailed de facto leader Datuk Seri
Anwar Ibrahim, vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar, Batu MP Tian Chua, former
secretary-general Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and Gerakan Harapan Baru
(GHB) member Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.
"This is a follow-up action from The Wall Street
Journal report.
"The facts of the case have exposed various corruption and corrupt
tactics used by BN to win the 13th general election.
"It is obvious that the RM2.6 billion used is more than 26 times the
allowed amount as outlined by Malaysian laws," said Nurul Izzah at a press
conference in the PKR headquarters today.
Section 19 of the Election Offences Act limits electoral spending to
RM100,000 and RM200,000 for a state and parliamentary candidate respectively.
Nurul said the EC had openly ignored corruption, and cited the speech made
by Najib at the 2010 Sibu by-election as an example where the EC said it did
not have the power to investigate.
"I help you, you help me... If Robert Lau becomes the MP on Sunday,
on Monday I will ask the cheque to be prepared. Do we have a deal or not? We
do! You want the RM5 million, I want Robert Lau to win," Najib had
reportedly said then in referring to the BN's candidate for Sibu.
Najib says that the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) has
cleared him of corruption over the RM2.6 billion in his personal accounts,
which he reiterated was held in trust on behalf of Umno, of which he is
president, and not for his personal use.
MACC had announced that the money was from a Middle Eastern donor and not
from 1MDB.
Allegations of RM2.6 billion in Najib's accounts first surfaced in a
report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on July 2, citing documents from
Malaysian investigators.
WSJ said the source of the funds were unknown, but came through
1MDB-linked entities in various tranches, the largest of which – US$681 million
– was channelled to Najib's accounts in March 2013, ahead of the general
election in May that year.
A few of Najib's Cabinet members had previously said that there was
nothing wrong with money being funnelled into his personal accounts as he had
the capacity to be a trustee for Umno.
BN's secretary-general Tengku Adnan had said it was a common practice for
the head of any political party to hold funds in trust.
PKR lawyer R. Sivarasa today said the suit was meant to send a clear
message to Najib that he would be brought in to account for his actions.
"He can change the A-G, he can interfere with the MACC and can do all
sorts of things, but our summons today is our initiative to ensure no matter
what he does, he will be held accountable in court," Sivarasa said.
The PKR MP for Subang was referring to former attorney-general Tan Sri
Abdul Gani Patail, who was abruptly dismissed and replaced on the same day as
Najib's Cabinet reshuffle last month. Gani had been in the midst of a probe
into 1MDB as a member of a special task force assigned to investigate the firm
and the money in Najib's accounts.
In addition to dropping Gani, Najib also removed Cabinet ministers who
were critical of his handling of 1MDB. This was followed by police questioning
of seven MACC officers per alleged leaks of official information on the 1MDB
probe.
"He will be asked to account for the money, he cannot run. The
message we want to send today is no matter how much you lie and abuse the
institutions and manipulate the situation, you cannot run," said Sivarasa.
He said the suit would allow them to obtain answers on the RM2.6 billion
in Najib's accounts, including the identity of the donor and how was it spent.
News portal Malaysiakini also reported that PKR in its statement of claim
was asking the court for several declarations, including that Najib had
committed corruption with the funds in his personal accounts, for BN to be
de-registered and for the results of the 2013 general election to be set aside.
