Bermula dengan jawapan bertulis di Parlimen yang menjelaskan simpanan tunai di bank Singapura berjumlah RM3.6 billion, kemudiannya ditukar kepada kenyataan bahawa simpanan sebenarnya adalah asset. namun tiada penjelasan bentuk dan nilai sebenar asset. Kini telah tongang langang tiada jawapan jelas mengenainya.
Adalah tidak munasabah aset bernlai RM3,600,000,000.00 boleh di salah rekod dan tidak diketahui dengan pasti oleh Kementerian Kewangan!... Tak kan lah Kementerian tak boleh tanya 1MDB sebelum jawapan dibuat. Melainkan ada cubaan untuk mengelirukan ahli parlimen dan rakyat.
Ini adalah satu kesalahan serius yang perlu diberikan perhatian segera. kecuaian, kesilapan atau kelemahan ini mengundangan pelbagai pertanyaan lagi. Apakah maklumat lain yang cuba disembunyikan dari rakyat?
Suruhanjaya Siasatan Perlu perlu bentuk segera untuk operasi 1MDB dan dana yang telah digunakan. Mereka yang terlibat secara langsung dan tidak langsung perlu dipertanggungjawabkan diatas kelemahan urustadbir dana negara ini.
Berapakah sebenarnya jumlah aset negara yang telah di ghaibkan? Melalui 1MDB dan lain lain agensi pelaburan dan resmi dan tidak resmi.....
Kami menuntut siasatan menyeluruh segera dibuat dan mereka yang bertanggungjawab dihadapkan kepada muka keadilan dan rakyat segera. Sebelum masa depan generasi akan datang menjadi kelam atas perbuatan mereka yang curang ini.

PETALING JAYA: Former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has accused Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak of not telling the complete truth when he told Parliament that money held by government investment arm 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) is being kept in Singapore.
“No money was banked into BSI Bank in Singapore. It is clear from the amendment to his first answer that it was not US$1.103bil (RM3.6bil) in cash that was being kept with BSI but in the form of documents. It is unclear what is in the documents, but it is clear it is not cash,” said Dr Mahathir in a blogpost on Sunday.
In January, the Finance Ministry said 1MDB had deposited the funds it had redeemed from its offshore account in the Cayman Islands into BSI Bank, with the amount held in US dollars.
On Mar 10, it confirmed in a written reply to PJ Utara MP Tony Pua that the funds were held in the Singapore bank in the form of cash.
The Government said last week that the funds were not in the form of cash, but assets.
Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Husni Hanadzlah then clarified last Thursday that 1MDB might have misinterpreted the investment of US$1.103bil in BSI Bank (Singapore) Ltd.
“There’s a mistake. They (1MDB) had the impression that there was cash when they redeemed the funds. Actually, that is a saving,” said Husni.
He did not elaborate on the assets when asked but stressed that the saving was in the form of “units”.
Husni said the units were backed by sovereign wealth funds and the Government hoped it could repatriate the funds as soon as possible.
However, in his blog post, Dr Mahathir pointed out several issues with the documents in BSI Bank.
“BSI Bank has stated that the documents that state savings have been made by ‘Brazen Sky’, a subsidiary company of 1MDB, are false and not from them. Therefore, the second written reply from Najib to Parliament saying what is kept by them are documents is untrue. BSI Bank has filed a report with the Monetary Authority of Singapore that no 1MDB money is kept with them,” said Dr Mahathir.
The former premier added that normally, the Monetary Authority of Singapore would report such information to Bank Negara.

The former premier added that normally, the Monetary Authority of Singapore would report such information to Bank Negara.
“It is clear from the admission that the report is governed by principles of international secrecy and the wish for secrecy under the Anti Money-Laundering Act. From this it is clear that Bank Negara has received the Monetary Authority of Singapore report. The intent of keeping it a secret is because there is something that is not right, or deception when Najib said the money was with BSI Singapore,” he said. TheStar.
