Ahli Parlimen Pandan, Rafizi Ramli telah mengajukan 4 soalan rasmi bagi sidang Dewan Rakyat kali ini untuk mendapat maklumat lanjut mengenai pelaburan 1MDB dari Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
Hari ini, beliau mendapat jawaban daripada Najib bagi soalan no. 38 yang saya ajukan.
Malangnya, kata beliau Najib tidak memberi sebarang jawapan malah menyalin bulat-bulat (copy and paste) perenggan yang sama dalam soalan-soalan lain berhubung 1MDB setakat ini.
Jawapan Najib mengenai perkara itu adalah seperti di bawah yang diulang dalam soalan-soalan lain: “1MDB memastikan fi dan perbelanjaan adalah dinyatakan dengan betul di dalam penyata kewangan yang telah diaudit. Apa-apa maklumat lain yang telah dinyatakan di dalam penyata kewangan adalah milik persendirian (proprietry) syarikat”.
Menurut Rafizi, keengganan Najib memberi maklumat mengenai pelaburan 1MDB adalah satu penghinaan kepada Dewan Rakyat.
Namun, perkara yang lebih membimbangkan beliau ialah keengganan itu memberi gambaran ada sesuatu yang perlu disembunyikan.
Katanya, oleh kerana skandal 1MDB membawa risiko besar kepada kedudukan kewangan negara dan Najib menyembunyikan maklumat dari rakyat, beliau percaya masanya telah tiba supaya institusi-institusi utama negara mengambil tindakan untuk campur tangan dalam menentukan di mana dan ke mana dana rakyat yang diambil 1MDB ini.
"Maka, pada hari ini saya akan menulis secara rasmi kepada Ketua Audit Negara, Tan Sri Ambrin Buang untuk memulakan siasatan ke atas 1MDB bagi menentukan apakah risiko yang dibawa oleh 1MDB kepada tanggungan hutang Kerajaan Persekutuan setakat ini, mengambil kira prestasi kewangan 1MDB setakat ini," ujarnya dalam satu kenyataan.
Beliau juga akan menulis secara rasmi pada hari ini kepada Gabenor Bank Negara Malaysia, Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz supaya memulakan siasatan terhadap aliran dana dan pemindahan dana keluar masuk negara yang melibatkan 1MDB mengikut peruntukan di bawah Akta Penggubahan Wang Haram (Anti Money Laundering Act).
Tambahnya, mengikut peraturan anti-penggubahan wang haram (anti money laundering) yang diterima pakai secara bersama di seluruh negara, sebarang aliran dan pemindahan wang keluar masuk sesebuah negara perlu diisytiharkan dengan maklumat terperinci mengenai latar belakang pemindahan itu seperti dari mana wang itu datang, siapa yang menguruskan wang itu, syarikat mana terbabit, untuk apa wang itu digunakan dan lain-lain.
Beliau yakin Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz akan membuat tindakan yang betul dengan menyiasat dan mengumumkan butiran dana 1MDB yang sebelum ini sering kali dipindahkan ke seluruh dunia.
"Jika saya tidak mendapat sebarang maklumat dari Bank Negara Malaysia, saya akan membuat permohonan rasmi kepada badan-badan serupa di Hong Kong, Singapura dan Switzerland agar siasatan rasmi di bawah peraturan anti-penggubahan wang haram (anti money laundering) juga dimulakan di negara-negara ini terhadap 1MDB," ujarnya lagi.
Rafizi akan mengedarkan surat-surat yang dihantar kepada Ketua Audit Negara dan Gabenor Bank Negara Malaysia menjelang akhir hari ini. - harakahdaily

Najib giving non-answers on 1MDB...
“This is the same answer to all questions. It’s safe to conclude that Datuk Seri Najib will not give a single answer regarding 1MDB or details of the funds.”
He added, “I don’t want to go into the details on the kind of insult this is to the House, when we have a Prime Minister who’s not willing to answer any question.
Rafizi said this in regard to questions posed to Najib pertaining to Bridge Partners, a firm that received 1MDB funds that were parked in the Cayman Islands.
Calling the PM’s vague answers “worrisome”, Rafizi said he and other MPs were determined to get to the bottom of the business dealings of 1MDB.
“More importantly, I will write to the Governor of Bank Negara, Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz today, because when funds are transferred and details are not disclosed, it could be investigated under the Anti-Money Laundering Act,” he said.
Rafizi also expressed his frustration that even after careful deliberation, it was difficult to bring about any form of accountability to 1MDB legally as most transactions were conducted on a “willing seller-willing buyer basis” although it could be argued the transactions did not benefit the public.
“Bank Negara, if it is indeed strict about the Anti-Money Laundering Act, should have the statutory declaration and information about the channeling of the funds, because it is not a small amount of money. It’s RM 7 billion.”
Rafizi also said 1MDB had money trails in Singapore, Hong Kong and Switzerland that he would pursue until he got some concrete answers.
He said, “Along with that, we will also report to the authorities of other nations that 1MDB has funds in or agents managing these funds.”
He cautioned that if BNM also responded in the same fashion as the PM, he and his team would take their investigations to the next level by engaging the relevant authorities in Singapore, Hong Kong and Switzerland in their bid to prove money laundering did take place under the guise of investments under 1MDB. - fmt
Kalaimagan Perakasam - It is so shameful to know that the PM who has been given the mandate by the people is keeping so silent on this issue. Totally disappointed. If you don't have answers, it makes people think there is plenty of truth in Rafizi's claims, Mr. PM? You are letting the people down. I am quite sure you are going to go on stage during the UMNO Gen ASSY and boast about how well the country is run, how much FDI has come when there is none ( as no one can testify this as you speak), run down pakatan leaders for questioning the kerajaan and you on 1MDB but beware that many attending the assembly will also want to have some answers. You owe the people some answers sir and if you don't come up with acceptable answers the dwindling trust in you will sink below ground level.
Adam Ambrose - Najib's effort to transfer tax payers' money oversea by using 1 MDB as proxy. This is part of his plan together with his brother to secure a safe heaven at Cayman Island is something goes wrong in Malaysia.
Sukumaran Chandran - Never in the history of the country did we see such hugh losses of funds incurred without proper explanation by the government.
NYT: Firma China dakwa bayar untuk ahli politik BN dapat Datuk
Li Yang, ketua eksekutif CAA Resources, memberitahu New York Times (NYT), mendakwa dia telah membayar kira-kira AS$100,000 (RM336,501.90) bagi setiap ahli politik, yang mempunyai kepentingan tidak langsung dalam lombong itu.
Menurut laporan itu, Li, 27, yang merupakan anak lelaki hartawan besi di China, didakwa berbuat demikian sebagai sebahagian daripada rancangannya untuk "membina hubungan" dengan ahli politik dan pihak kerabat.
"Jika kedua-duanya menyokong anda, maka anda boleh melakukan apa sahaja yang anda mahu, kerana sumber asli semuanya dikawal oleh mereka," Li dipetik sebagai berkata.
Menurut akhbar itu lagi, Li juga dipetik sebagai berkata bahawa dia "hanya mengikuti amalan biasa di Malaysia".
Dalam reaksinya, Menteri Besar Terengganu Datuk Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman (atas) berkata beliau tidak tahu mengenainya.
"Ini tak ada dalam makluman saya. Maaf," kata Ahmad Razif, yang juga bertanggung jawab atas sumber asli dalam mesej teks kepada Malaysiakini.
NYT berkata CAA beroperasi di Malaysia selepas Beijing bulan lalu mengumumkan rancangan untuk memperkenalkan piawaian mengenai hak-hak tenaga kerja, perlindungan alam sekitar dan hubungan masyarakat bagi industri itu.
Di Bukit Besi, kata laporan itu, CAA menghindari potensi isu-isu tenaga kerja dengan mengupah pekerja tanpa kesatuan dari Kemboja, Myanmar dan Vietnam.
Para pekerja, kata Li, bekerja mengikut sif 12 jam, tujuh hari seminggu dan dibayar berdasarkan berapa banyak perolehan lombong.
Para pekerja kolar putih, termasuk akauntan dan jurutera, dibawa dari China.
CAA juga menghindarkan daripada melakukan penilaian kesan alam sekitar dengan membahagikan lombong itu kepada dua, masing-masing berkeluasan kurang daripada 500 ekar.
Hanya lombong yang berkeluasan lebih besar daripada 500 hektar perlu dinilai untuk kesan alam sekitar.
Lombong Bukit Besi pernah menjadi lombong terbesar di dunia dan menjadi sumber bekalan untuk industri besi keluli Jepun semasa Perang Dunia II. Ia ditutup pada tahun 1971.- mk
NYT: China firm paid for BN politicians' datukships...
Li Yang, the chief executive of CAA Resources, told the New York Times that he had paid about US$100,000 (RM336,501.90) per royal title for the politicians.
The politicians from the "ruling party" have indirect stakes in the mine, NYT reported.
According to the report, Li, the 27-year-old son of a wealthy iron magnate in China, did so as part of his plan to "build ties" with politicians and royalty.
"If you’ve got these two to support you, then you can do anything you want, because the natural resources are all controlled by them," Li is quoted as saying.
According to the US daily, Li also said that he was "simply following common practices in Malaysia".
In immediate response, Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman said he knows nothing about it.
"I have no knowlege about this. I'm sorry," Ahmad Razif, who is also in charge of natural resources, said in a text message to Malaysiakini.
NYT said that CAA is in Malaysia as Beijing had last month announced its plans to introduce standards on labour rights, environmental protection and community relations for the industry.
At Bukit Besi, the report said, CAA avoids potential labour issues by hiring non-unionised worker from Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam.
The workers, Li said, work 12-hour shifts, seven days a week and are paid based on how much the mine makes.
The white collar workers, including accountants and engineers, are brought in from China.
CAA also avoids having to conduct environmental impact assessments by dividing the mine into two, each with less than 500 acres.
Only mines larger than 500 acres have to be assessed for environmental impact.
The Bukit Besi mine was once the world’s largest mine and supplied the Japanese steel industry during the World War II. It closed in 1971.- mk
