Perompak berkebajikan tetap perompak...
Syarikat A bayar ke syarikat B, syarikat B pula bayar ke syarikat C, syarikat C bayar ke syarikat D, dan syarikat D ialah kawan-kawan karib yang ada hubungan dengan pengurus besar A.
Syarikat A dengan mudahnya menegaskan tiada salahlaku dan tiada duit yang hilang. Bagi A, urusannya hanya dengan B, tidak kisahlah samada B ini syarikat kosong ataupun tidak.
Pendek kata, apa yang B buat dengan duit A, bukan masalah A, walaupun duit yang dibayar ke B akhirnya pulang ke mereka yang rapat dengan pengurus besar A melalui C dan D.
Akhirnya yang berhutang hanyalah A. Pihak B, C dan D menikmati gaya hidup termewah di dunia.
Meskipun demikian, masih ada yang memuji bahawa syarikat A banyak membuat kebajikan. Namun, perompak berkebajikan tetap adalah perompak.
Tidak perlu saya menamakan siapa syarikat A, sebagaimana "Malaysia Official 1".
Apa yang berlaku hari ini?
Kegagalan agensi-agensi berkuasa negara, ditambah dengan kongkongan kuasa politik yang menyebabkan ada sebilangan mereka yang terlibat dengan penyiasatan telah diberhentikan telah membuat rakyat terasa negara tidak berupaya membongkar kes 1MDB.
Akibatnya, apabila ada negara lain yang sudi membongkar isu 1MDB, seperti Jabatan Kehakiman Amerika Syarikat (DOJ) dan juga negara-negara lain, rakyat terus mempercayai apa yang didedahkan penyiasatan mereka.
Jangan salahkan rakyat. Rakyat tiada pilihan kerana alasan-alasan yang bukan sahaja kurang logik malah tidak konsisten yang diberikan pihak berkuasa selama ini melanggar akal mereka.
AS mahu menjaga negaranya daripada dijadikan tempat mencuci wang haram, atau wang rompakan daripada negara lain. Mereka yang dinamakan perlu menjawab di mana datangnya sumber kewangan mereka, apakah sumber itu halal dan telah dicukai?
Sekiranya jawapan ialah hadiah, maka siasatan akan dilakukan kepada si pemberi hadiah, di mana soalan yang sama akan ditanya, di mana datangnya sumber hadiah tersebut?
Semua ini akan disiasat berterusan sehingga lubuk, kerana masing-masing akan mencari jalan untuk menyelamatkan diri sendiri.
Sebagai contoh, bayangkan kalau tuduhan bahawa duit 1MDB disonglap sebagai modal perjudian beberapa individu terbukti betul? Bukankah ini satu penghinaan sedangkan ramai rakyat yang sedang bergelut membayar PTPTN?
Namun begitu, ada yang was-was dengan siasatan DOJ, kerana sejarah dan sikap AS yang suka mencampuri urusan negara lain yang bermasalah dalaman. Apakah rasional pandangan ini terhadap isu 1MDB?
Walaupun begitu, jangan ada pihak yang mencemuh pihak yang was-was ini. Kebimbangan mereka terhadap sikap suka campur tangan kuasa asing khasnya AS ke atas negara umat Islam ada asasnya perlu diberi perhatian.
Kerana sejarah membuktikan permasalahan dalaman negara, penindasan dan kezaliman akan membuka ruang campur tangan asing.
Kerajaan yang bertindak zalim menyebabkan rakyat mula terasa ingin memberontak secara dalaman. Akan tetapi, dengan sistem demokrasi yang ditempangkan untuk menjaga kekuasaan kerajaan yang zalim, rakyat terasa tertekan dan hilang harapan untuk menukar kerajaan.
Ketika itu, kuasa asing akan mengambil kesempatan kerana sebarang bantuan yang datang akan disambut rakyat, termasuklah bantuan daripada pihak asing.
Suruhanjaya Diraja
Kerajaan tidak harus berlengah lagi untuk menghidupkan Suruhanjaya Diraja ini, malah ia masih selari dengan seruan kenyataan Raja-Raja Melayu sebelum ini yang menggesa kerajaan menyelesaikan secepat mungkin siasatan berkaitan dengan 1MDB dan mengambil tindakan tegas yang sewajarnya terhadap pihak-pihak yang terlibat.
Kepada pihak berkuasa tempatan, jangan dibiarkan kesilapan-kesilapan kerajaan zalim di serata dunia sehingga menyebabkan negara tergadai berulang di Malaysia.
Hutang negara sudahpun mencecah RM847 bilion di 2015. Jangan biarkan keadaan ini melarat ke satu hari ini nanti, di mana Bank Dunia dan IMF menanti untuk menghulurkan bantuan. Ketika itu, sudah terlambat bagi negara untuk menghalang campur tangan asing.
Kepada yang bimbang dengan campurtangan asing dalam isu 1MDB, penyelesaiannya mudah, bersatulah mendesak agar Suruhanjaya Diraja terhadap 1MDB dibuka dan teruskan desakan sehingga agensi-agensi berkuasa berani berdikari dan melakukan pendakwaan kepada mereka yang terlibat dalam merompak harta negara dan berusahalah untuk membuat pengorbanan ke arah menukar kerajaan. - Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man,Timbalan Presiden PAS.
Penang's prerogative to call for snap polls...
The DAP-led Penang government has the prerogative to call for snap polls in the state without the need for an emergency state assembly sitting, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said today.
He said that according to the state constitution, the present Pakatan government had the power to call an early election and this had nothing to do with the Barisan Nasional.
"BN has done it many times, (called) an early general election in 1978, 1982 and 1986 as, according to the federal constitution, it has the right and, in Penang, we only need to seek the Governor's (Yang Dipertua Negeri's) blessings," he told reporters after launching the Aspen Group sales gallery in Bandar Cassia here.
He was responding to Pulau Betong state assemblyman Mohd Farid Saad of the BN who had said yesterday that the state should hold an emergency state assembly sitting to discuss the proposed snap polls.
Lim, who is also DAP secretary-general, said it was nothing new as BN had done it at the federal level, and it would have nothing to do with the opposition party in the state if the state were to call an early election.
The chief minister also suggested that Mohd Farid table a motion of no-confidence against the state government or the chief minister if he was not satisfied.
"We are only discussing among our Pakatan coalition (partners) and not discussing with the opposition in the state," he said.
Last Tuesday, PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail announced that the party was yet unconvinced by the DAP proposal to hold snap polls in Penang.
The issue over the state election was raised when the local media reported that DAP had listed two options following the corruption charges faced by Lim.
One option was to hold a snap election to gauge the Penang citizens' response towards the charges against Lim and the other was to wait for the next general election, due by August 2018.
The Penang state assembly has 40 seats with DAP now holding 19; PKR, 10; Barisan Nasional, 10 and PAS, one. - Bernama

Enormously inflated rail contract a ruse to pay off 1MDB debt...
Desperate to Survive, Malaysia’s PM Sells his Country to China...
The vulnerability of Southeast Asian countries to the combination of Chinese money and their own corrupt politicians has been laid starkly bare by a new report on Malaysia’s scandal ridden 1MDB.
Desperate to extricate himself from the massive misuse of funds supposedly raised for development by the state-backed sovereign fund, Najib has turned to China. The price has been Malaysia’s silence in the face of China’s claims to most of Malaysia’s South China Sea economic zone and failure to speak up following the Court of Arbitration’s ruling against China and its nine-dash line claim. Thwarted by the court of arbitration, China over recent months has been seeking – with considerable success – what it was clearly denied in court: by purchasing the loyalty of the littoral nations.
The Sarawak Report, an online publication with a remarkable record of access to leaked documents on thievery by leading Malaysian politicians, has revealed a plot, now close to realization, to use a Chinese state company as a conduit for dishonestly using public funds to plug gaping holes in 1MDB accounts.
These holes are the direct result of a billion dollar spending spree in the west by 1MDB on luxurious apartments, parties and the international jet set as well as direct and indirect payments to Najib himself and associates such as Jho Taek Low and Najib’s wife Rosmah Mansor’s son from a previous marriage. It is quite likely that before long, other of the clutch of countries investigating the scandal are going to go public with charges equally as damning as those made public last week by the US Justice Department, which named “Public Official No. 1” 34 times in the document. In all, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said, at least US$3.5 billion had been siphoned off the Malaysian taxpayer.
Now Najib is attempting to get China to cover that loss surreptitiously and in the process probably selling out his country over its rights in its own exclusive economic zone. Chinese companies have already helped 1MDB’s cash situation by buying power stations assets at favorable prices. But those deals were aboveboard compared with the latest multi-billion ringgit scam.
According to the documents published by Sarawak Report, the plot is for China’s state owned China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) to be awarded the contract to build the high speed East Coast Rail Line (ECRL). Following official receipt of the award, CCCC is due on Aug. 5 to pay US$850 million for certain 1MDB assets. CCCC will also assume responsibility for US$4.78 billion in interest and principal due of 1MDB obligations due between now and 2022.
In return for this enormous bailout, Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance is to undertake to pay billions to CCCC on top of the actual cost of the project.
The contract works thus:
Total contract value:- MYR60 billion
Actual assumed cost of project:- MYR27 billion
CCCC profit margin of 4.55 percent:- MYR2.729 billion
Additional differential:- MYR29.8 billion
The so-called “additional differential” is the amount needed to compensate CCCC for its support of 1MDB. Thus the Malaysian public is expected to pay double the proper price for the railway simply to bail out Najib and his corrupt associates. The amounts to be paid on behalf of 1MDB total an astonishing US$7.46 billion. This includes the debts due to Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund which is currently suing 1MDB over unpaid loan guarantees.
According to the Sarawak Report documents, the bail-out also reaches companies controlled by Jho Lo – and by mega rich former Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud, which were used to funnel money to Najib.
The deal also gives China additional advantages from which it would benefit for years to come, limiting Makaysia’s ability to open later projects to competitive bidding, notably the adoption of China’s rail technology for future major infrastructure. CCCC will get a 10-year break on GST and income taxes, allow CCCC to select suppliers and sub-contractors without reference to the government. Meanwhile the government will take responsibility for land acquisition along the route.
Publication of these details, which many in Malaysia may regard as indicating treason as well as corruption, are likely to make the Chinese nervous. It was bad enough that the US has launched criminal charges against many associated with 1MDB and which implicate Najib in all but name. The latest revelations add to the threat to Najib’s position and hence the possibility that any deal now signed with CCCC would later be repudiated by Malaysia as corruptly won.
Meanwhile it is astonishing that a ruling party that purports to represent the interests of the Malay people keeps a leader who so obviously not only has abused his position to make money for himself and associates, who has diverted vast sums from development to foreign luxuries, and, worst of all, has sold the national interest to a country that has been forcibly pressing its claims to a large part of Malaysia’s waters as well as Layang-Layang island off the coast of Sabah. It is no surprise that Malaysia’s considerable naval strength is doing nothing to halt Chinese fishing in its waters. - Philip Bowring,AS
