“Bagaimana dan bila ia dibuat? Kita diberitahu bahawa bakinya dibekukan oleh Singapura.
“Boleh Singapura jelaskan berkaitan unfreezing dan penghantaran balik kepada Saudi?” soalnya dalam tulisan di blognya hari ini.
Dalam posting blognya,beliau juga membangkitkan persoalan sama ada Singapura yang merupakan sebuah pusat kewangan akan begitu mudah tertipu.
Peguam Negara Tan Sri Apandi Ali semalam berkata US$620 (RM2.03) daripada AS$681 yang diterima dipulangkan semula kerana tidak diguna pakai.
Pada 22 Julai tahun lalu, Reuters melaporkan bahawa pihak polis Singapura telah membekukan dua akaun bank susulan siasatan terhadap dakwaan salah urus kewangan dan rasuah berkaitan 1MDB.
Selain itu, Mahathir juga mengakui terkejut dengan keputusan peguam negara yang memutuskan bahawa perdana menteri tidak melakukan apa-apa perbuatan jenayah apabila wang RM2.6 bilion dimasukkan ke akaun peribadi Najib.
"Mempunyai sejumlah wang seperti itu di dalam akaun perdana menteri pun sudah menjadi kesalahan walaupun ia mungkin bukan jenayah.
"Tetapi peguam negara sekarang mengumumkan wang tersebut merupakan hadiah daripada Arab Saudi.
"Dan peguam negara membuat kesimpulan bahawa tiada kes untuk Najib menjawab. Beliau juga mengarahkan SPRM untuk menutup kes itu dan hentikan siasatan," katanya lagi.
Bekas pemimpin negara itu juga secara sinis mempersoalkan SPRM yang sepatutnya menjadi sebuah badan bebas tetapi dilihat seolah-olah menerima arahan daripada Apandi.
"Saya fikir SPRM adalah sebuah badan yang bebas. Tetapi kini ia seolah-olah berada di bawah peguam negara dan mengambil arahan daripada dia.
"Tidak hairanlah Malaysia termasuk di kalangan sepuluh negara yang paling korup di dunia. Badan pencegahan rasuahnya tidak bebas," kata Mahathir lagi. - mk
Kenapa Najib Tak Pulangkan wang RM42 juta SRC
RM2.6b case: Dr M ropes in S’pore, wants explanation...
Dr Mahathir Mohamad has roped in Singapore into the RM2.6 billion donation issue after the attorney-general cleared Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak of any wrongdoing.
In a blog posting, the former premier noted how attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali said that Najib had returned RM2.03 billion back to the Saudi royal family in August 2013.
“How and when was this done?
“We are told the balance is frozen by Singapore. Can Singapore explain the unfreezing and the delivery back to the Saudis?
“Or does Singapore also believe in the free gift story, the letter and the Saudi admission?
“Singapore is a financial centre. Can it be so gullible?” he asked.
On July 22 last year, Reuters reported that Singaporean police had frozen two bank accounts in connection with an investigation into alleged financial mismanagement and graft at 1MDB.
"On July 15, 2015, we issued orders under the Criminal Procedure Code to prohibit any dealings in respect of money in two bank accounts that are relevant to the investigation," Singapore police had said in a statement.
However, the police did not identify the banks or the accounts in question because the investigation was still ongoing.
Malaysian authorities had claimed that the sum had originated from a Middle Eastern source and not from 1MDB as some had alleged.
Yesterday, Apandi said investigations revealed that the RM2.6 billion was a donation from the Saudi royal family ahead of the general election in May 2013 and was given without strings attached.
'A letter from a deceased person not enough'
Meanwhile, Mahathir said there appeared to be a letter stating that the sum was for the prime minister to fight against terrorism.
“Who is this Arab? How does he have huge sum of money to give away? What is his business, what is his bank? How was the money transferred, what documents prove these?
“Just a letter from a deceased person or some nonentity is not enough...,” he said.
International news organisations have published conflicting versions of this donation issue, where an unnamed source told BBC the money came from the late Saudi monarch, King Abdullah. The Wall Street Journal, however, claimed that Saudi ministries were in the dark. - mk
