Bila penyamun bebas mencatur ...


Di mana  Low Taek Jho @ Jho Low, Datuk Suboh Mohd Yassin, Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, Casey Tang dan Jasmine Loo? 

Tidak lama dahulu pihak berkuasa, khususnya pihak Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia dan Bank Negara memburu kelima-lima individu diatas. 

Mereka adalah orang-orang yang disyaki terlibat secara langsung dalam skandal SRC International yang telah mengakibatkan kehilangan beribu-ribu juta ringgit hak dan harta kerajaan Malaysia. 

Diantara mereka adalah saksi utama dalam siasatan kes wang tunai berjumlah 2.6bilion dan 42 juta ringgit yang menyusup masuk kedalam akaun bank peribadi Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak secara berasingan.

Untuk makluman Nik Faisal juga adalah individu yang diberi kebenaran untuk mengendalikan akaun peribadi Najib di Ambank.   

Laporan akhbar pada bulan Julai 2015 mendedah bahawa SPRM gagal menjumpai Jho Low, Suboh dan Nik Faisal kerana ketiga-tiga suspek utama dalam kes skandal 1MDB itu disyaki telah melarikan diri keluar negara. 

Pada waktu yang sama Bank Negara pula mengeluarkan notis 'orang yang dikehendaki' ke-atas Casey Tang dan Jasmine Loo berhubung siasatan mereka dalam kes skandal 1MDB. 

Tiba-tiba, pada bulan May 2016 ketika menjawab soalan di Dewan Rakyat, Menteri Di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Paul Low mengumumkan bahawa pihak SPRM telah memperolehi kenyataan dari ketiga-tiga individu terbabit.  

Low gagal memberi penjelasan lanjut tetapi cara penutupan siasatan kes wang beribu juta ringgit didalam akaun peribadi Perdana Menteri adalah amat ketara. 

Saya bersara kerana kecewa, kata pengarah operasi khas SPRM
Adam Abu Bakar | January 3, 2017

Bekas pegawai tinggi SPRM berasa kecewa dan berdosa kepada seluruh rakyat Malaysia kerana gagal membawa kes SRC ke mahkamah.


PETALING JAYA: Pengarah operasi khas Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) memilih bersara awal kerana kecewa kes siasatan SRC International (SRC) tidak boleh dibawa ke mahkamah.

Pengarah Bahagian Operasi Khas (BOK) Datuk Bahri Mohamad Zain, 57, yang bersara pada Jumaat lepas berkata beliau berasa berdosa apabila kes penyelewengan melibatkan sejumlah wang yang besar gagal dibawa ke mahkamah sedangkan kes lain tidak mengalami sebarang masalah.

“Bukan sahaja kecewa, malah saya rasa amat berdosa kepada seluruh 30 juta rakyat Malaysia kerana kes SRC tidak boleh dibawa ke mahkamah,” katanya kepada FMT, hari ini.

BOK ditubuhkan pada 2010 untuk membolehkan SPRM menjalankan siasatan kes berprofil tinggi terutama membabitkan rasuah bernilai lebih RM1 juta.

Beliau memainkan peranan penting menyiasat SRC dan menjadi perhatian apabila sejumlah RM42 juta didakwa ditemui dalam akaun peribadi Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Ia dilapor dimasukkan ke akaun perdana menteri melalui 2 transaksi pada 26 Disember 2014 dan 10 Februari 2015 selepas disalurkan melalui 2 syarikat lain iaitu Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd dan Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd.


Bagaimanapun, Peguam Negara Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali pada Januari 2016 memutuskan Najib tidak bersalah atas tuduhan melakukan salah laku dalam urus niaga berkenaan.

Menurut Bahri, beliau mendapati SRC yang merupakan bekas anak syarikat 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) menyeleweng wang rakyat secara terang-terangan.

“Begitu banyak wang rakyat diselewengkan secara terang-terangan. Saya tidak layak berkhidmat di bawah undang-undang sarang labah-labah,” katanya.

SRC ditubuhkan pada awal 2011 untuk meneroka pelaburan strategik di seberang laut dalam sumber tenaga.

Ia kemudian diambil alih Kementerian Kewangan berikutan program penstrukturan semula 1MDB. - FMT


Siasatan kes SRC International ini telah 'ditutup' oleh peguam negara yang bijaksana.

Pegawai SPRM yang meluahkan kebenaran akibat kecewa dengan campurtangan pihak atasan pula diserang dengan fitnah jahat dan pelbagai ugutan. 

Walaupun peguam negara yang bijaksana telah menutup kes SRC International yang berkait rapat dengan 1MDB tanpa dibicarakan dimahkamah, dipercayai kesemua suspek masih lagi menghilangkan diri.  Kalau tidak bersalah kenapa lari? 

Jho Low, yang dikenali ramai setelah dinamakan dalam penyiasatan jenayah kleptokrasi dan pengubahan wang haram terbesar dalam sejarah Amerika Syarikat, juga masih 'hilang'. 

Individu yang turut 'hilang' bersama Jho Low selepas pembongkaran Jabatan Keadilan Amerika Syarikat (DOJ) adalah Reza Aziz. 

Reza Aziz adalah anak Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor dengan suami terdahulu beliau. Reza adalah anak tiri Najib Razak. 

Ura-ura mengatakan bahawa beberapa bulan yang lalu kedua-dua individu ini ghaib dari Amerika Syarikat dan tiba-tiba muncul di tepian Jalan Duta, di ibu negara. 

Yang berjaya mengghaibkan mereka dengan jet peribadi adalah seorang menteri flamboyant yang kini sedang merajuk hendak letak jawatan kerana budi sudah dilupakan, negeri pula diambang kejatuhan. 

Dikhabarkan yang ditepian Jalan Duta sudah berlindung di gua penyamun. Yang tahu buat tak tahu, yang berkuasa sudah menjadi babu. 

Menurut dinding yang boleh berkata-kata - 

1 - Selain pasangan penyamun, orang paling berpengaruh dalam kabinet dapur (kitchen kabinet) adalah Jho Low. 

2 - Segala tindakan bermatlamat untuk kekal berkuasa, by hook or crook. 

3 - Strategi terancang supaya beberapa pemimpin tertinggi dijadikan kambing hitam demi untuk mengelirukan rakyat dan mewujudkan persepsi bahawa sebenarnya penyamun adalah pejuang anti-rasuah. 

4 - Hang Tuah dan Hang Jebat sekalipun tidak dapat menyelamatkan kambing hitam dari negeri mereka yang sedang menunggu masa untuk dikorban. 

5 - Alasan yang ditolak Jho Low dan jemaah kabinet dapur -" Boss ada 2.6 bilion dalam akaun peribadi, saya hanya ada beberapa juta ringgit . Itupun sumbangan politik. Salah ker? " 

6 - Alasan yang diterima kabinet dapur - "Duit 400 juta ringgit tunai yang disimpan dalam rumah yang dijaga rapi oleh pengawal Gurkha bukan duit saya, itu untuk perbelanjaan politik boss".

Bila penyamun bebas mencatur, haq dan batil menjadi kabur.

Jho Low kata Ketua menteri kau juga orang baru ba'.

MACC and Bank Negara hunting down 1MDB-SRC International fugitives ?

The best thing about the ongoing worst time of this nation is just that. That is just about the only positive thing now. You get to see the true colors of all those champions of all kind who have now been reduced to mere lapdogs and running dogs. 

Can't wait for the day when the long arm of the law catches hold of the thief and his gang. 

As in the words of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's chief commissioner Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamad. 
"In today's world, there is no place for any parties or individuals that want to avoid investigation. 

"They can avoid from being traced for a certain period - one month, two months, a year or two - but not forever. 
"Remember, the investigation will not stop when someone tries to hide the evidence or abduct witnesses. 
"If proven guilty, the court is the place for them to be judged and sentenced, no matter if he is a regular citizen, businessman, corporate figure or a political leader," Abu Kassim said. - The Star
I'm sure Abu Kassim and his team of able, professional and God-fearing investigators are still hot on the trails of those fugitives involved in the SRC International probe. 

If the Royal Malaysian Police could make repeated pleas to the Interpol for Sarawak Report editor Claire Brown's arrest (although it is most unlikely to bear any fruits), I'm sure the MACC could also seek similar international co-operation to trace, detain and deport Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, Datuk Suboh Mohd Yassin and Jho Taek Low. 
Bank Negara Malaysia too could must start seeking international help to nab the two former 1MDB senior officials who have also been on the run for far too long now. 
Are we really serious in wanting to nab these fugitives? 

Are these fugitives still WANTED? 

Could we see the true colors of MACC and Bank Negara, please!

Jho Low is on the run - SARAWAK REPORT


Global Financier Relocates.....

18 Aug 2015

Sarawak Report has now reliably established that the global financier, self-styled philanthropist and international party lover, Malaysia’s Taek Jho Low, has relocated to Taiwan.
The news is likely to provoke considerable dismay amongst the Crystal-drinking Las Vegas nightclub set and trendy Hollywood pals like Leonardo di Caprio.
However, those in the know confirm he has become rooted in the island state and appears to have jettisoned his previous Hong Kong base and hyper-active travel schedules for several weeks.
We also understand that Mr Low’s motivation for curtailing his formerly febrile jet-setting habits and sticking unflinchingly to terra firma these days in Taipei, owes to the republic’s reputation as an extradition blackspot.

US Citizen – two passports!

Paying for the party – Jho Low relies on magnums of Crystal..

In particular, Taiwan is untouched by the jurisdiction of the United States, with which it has not had diplomatic relations since 1979.
This is significant, because Sarawak Report can now definitively reveal that Jho Low has not just one American passport, but two.
The numbers of these passports are A10690483 and A19877008. Neither of course are legal for a Malaysian to possess, owing to the country’s strict citizen laws.
Under US law Jho Low can possess two passports. However, as he is now an American citizen he is also subject to American laws, particularly with respect to money laundering proceeds of corruption through the US financial system.

Wanted – sort of….

Several bodies of investigators from different jurisdictions have recently started to indicate that they would be extremely pleased to talk with Mr Low, as they believe he could help them with their enquiries with respect to a number of lines of investigation into the missing millions from Malaysia’s development fund 1MDB.
Jho Low was the link man for the initial 1MDB PetroSaudi joint venture, for example, which was something he initially sought to adamantly deny.
He was also the link man with Abu Dhabi fund Aabar with which he conducted a number of private deals at the same time that Aabar was doing very well indeed out of its entirely passive role as an advertised parter of 1MDB on several of its big investments.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has signalled its interest in speaking to Mr Low on these matters, as has the Parliamentary Accounts Committee (presently suspended owing to the actions of the Prime Minister).
Safe in Malaysia?
It is believed that discreet enquiries are now also being made by certain US regulators into such matters, who might also be seeking his whereabouts.
On the other hand, of course, Malaysia’s Inspector General of Police has yet to do anything so uncouth as to rush into court and execute an arrest warrant for Mr Low, let alone attempt to place him on Interpol’s Red Alert list for people wanted for enormous crimes, such as the stealing of billions of dollars of public money.
Malaysia’s IGP has restricted such actions merely to outfits like Sarawak Report, who provided the initial details into the missing money and sparked all these pesky investigations, which he and Najib are now doing their best to close down.
In fact, after the recent clamp downs by Najib and the new concept being promoted by his new ministers that the PM and his friends should be considered to be above the law, might not Malaysia turn out to be Jho Low’s safest haven?
Apparently not, in Jho Low’s estimation.
It is understood that the Penang born multi-billionaire feels nervous that the rest of the population might feel less charitable towards him as the evidence of their missing billions escalates, taxes rise and the ringgit plummets.  He seems settled in Taipei.

Off-shore accounts

Of particular concern to Jho Low will be the fate of his off-shore money and foreign accounts.
Brushstroke by Roy Lichtenstein…. worth around a million bucks
His accounts at the BSI Bank in Singapore have already been frozen.  Sarawak Report now understands that a network of accounts in the Island of Guernsey (British Channel Islands) are also now suspended, pending investigation.
The relevant authorities have reported that they believe that the contents of these accounts may represent the proceeds of corruption.
It will plainly be extremely sad and dull for the jet-setting Mr Low to have to clip his wings like this and remain doggedly in Taiwan for the coming future. However, despite such potential financial woes, he appears to have continued spending for his friends and foundations over the past months of scrutiny.
At San Tropez last month his money still flowed sufficiently from afar to supply a fabulously expensive Lichtenstein sculpture for a fancy eco-charity auction run by his fellow philanthropist cum hard party buddy Leonardo Di Caprio.
“Leonardo Dicaprio’s Foundation Gala raised USD40mil that will go towards protecting biodiversity, ocean and forest conservation and mitigating climate change”  explained the publicity (too bad about the Borneo Jungle).
Low has also been pouring money into the UN, which has stood by its right to accept millions from this generous funder of its programmes for training journalists:
” The recently announced partnership with the Jynwel Foundation will help the UN Foundation contribute to what has been called “the biggest communications challenge and opportunity of our generation” – the urgent need to create an environment that will help the world achieve success on the most ambitious anti-poverty agenda in history. The new “global goals” – often referred to as the Sustainable Development Goals — will be the most comprehensive plan in history to fight poverty and create prosperity while protecting the planet. With the support of the Jynwel Foundation and other partners, the UN Foundation will be able to encourage a global discussion around the goals through increased level of media reporting, capacity building and training for journalists” [UN Foundation Spokesman statement to Sarawak Report]
It is ironic that the journalists whom Jho Low’s money will help to train would get short shrift in his native Malaysia, should they dare to tackle such matters as corruption in high places.
It is also of growing concern that this money for “tackling poverty” via the UN’s media programme is currently being investigated in relation to a massive plunder from Malaysia’s own development fund. We have tried warning the UN and indeed other recipients of Jho Low’s largesse, but they have not been listening have they! - SARAWAK REPORT


This latest report is certainly a positive development for Malaysia and our Malaysian authorities who have been hunting high and low for Jho Low. 

Certainly the details provided by SarawakReport could shed greater light into the whereabouts of one of top three guys on Malaysia's current WANTED list pertaining to the ongoing investigation into the multibillion ringgit 1MDB related scandals. 
The other two WANTED individuals are Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil (centre) and Datuk Suboh Mohd Yassin. 

All three are required to assist in providing information on the transfer of funds from a former 1MDB subsidiary – SRC International Sdn Bhd – which is now a unit directly under the Finance Ministry.
(SRC had borrowed RM4 billion from the the public retirement fund Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (KWAP) in 2011.)
Suboh and Nik Faizal are shareholders of Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd, one of the two companies used as a conduit to transfer accounts from SRC to a private bank account in AmBank.- TheSun

Since the MACC have resumed their investigations, after a minor hiccup following a now suspended police investigations and another revoked transfer order on investigators, the graft busters could now make the necessary legal preparations to extradite Jho Low or dispatch MACC officers to Taiwan to interrogate him. 

By the way, don't we already know where the other two fugitives are? 

It must be emphasised here that there is a need to update the Malaysian public on this particular case on a regular basis due to the sheer size of public funds involved in the scandal plus the fact that there has been obvious attempts to scuttle this investigations. 

To recap SRC International took a massive RM4 billion loan from Retirement Fund Incorporated or Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (KWAP) and the loan is guaranteed by the Government of Malaysia. So this is not merely a matter confined to your kitchen cabinet.

Public perception is that there have been repeated attempts to sabotage investigations into SRC because Prime Minister Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak is directly implicated in the case. Nik Faisal's link to Najib and his role in the scandal cannot possibly be covered even with the biggest of the big leaves.

The suspicious removal of previous Attorney General Tan Sri Gani Patail who was heading a Task Force investigating SRC International and the subsequent disbanding of the Task Force itself have only lend credence to the notion that there is indeed a conspiracy to protect those involved in this financial scandal.

Malaysians, and I'm sure the international community too, are watching this 1MDB scandal and all other related cases very closely. 

The interest in this case is much greater now after news broke out of the RM2.6billion anonymous donation received by Najib Razak. Pundits are predicting that the Malaysian Prime Minister could be making his way into the Guiness Book of World Records under the 'largest donation receipient' category.

1MDB/PetroSaudi/SRC  is certainly not a curi ayam case in some remote village in the interiors of Pekan where you could pay a few dollars more to settle a minor crime.

Naturally those involved in any crime would be very worried, especially now since even the Americans have started their probe into suspected money laundering. The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Singapore Police are also into similar investigations, I was told. 

Truth shall prevail. It's just a matter of time.

1MDB SRC International - WANTED STILL WANTED?




Wanted by MACC, but cannot be located

KUALA LUMPUR: Three prominent Malaysian businessmen sought to assist investigations of fraud, mismanagement and corruption in 1MDB and related companies, are no longer in the country.
Members of the investigating team of the Special Task Force have been unable to locate Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil and Datuk Suboh Mohd Yassin. They were supposed to have given statements over various transactions linked to the private banking account supposedly belonging to the Prime Minister.
Sources close to the task force said intelligence reports suggest one of them is in Indonesia while the other could not be traced.
They have also sought to locate businessman Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low to assist in their probe. He is reportedly operating out of Hong Kong.
All three are required to assist in providing information on the transfer of funds from a former 1MDB subsidiary – SRC International Sdn Bhd – which is now a unit directly under the Finance Ministry.

BNM issues 'wanted' poster for former 1MDB execs


PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is seeking for two individuals to assist in investigations under the Exchange Control Act 1953 in relation to the ongoing probe into 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
In a posting on its Facebook page today, BNM released a "wanted" poster, requesting the public to come forward, should they have information on Casey Tang Keng Chee, 50 and Jasmine Loo Ai Swan, 42.
It urged those with any information on the duo to contact BNM at 03-26988044 ext: 8554 / 7610 or lodge a report at the nearest police station.
Tang is a former executive director of 1MDB and was alleged to have worked with tycoon Low Taek Jho and top executives of PetroSaudi International to get 1MDB to subscribe to US$500 million (RM1.9 billion) of murabaha notes.
Some US$260 million of this money from 1MDB was used by Low to buy UBG Bhd, according to a report by The Edge Weekly.
The report, published on June 7, said that Tang and 1MDB chief investment officer Nik Faisal Nik Kamil were actively working with PetroSaudi and Low in the UBG takeover. 
Loo joined 1MDB in 2011 to replace Tang. - TheSun
1. Are the above 'fugitives' still WANTED to assist the relevant authorities in the probe into 1MDB / SRC & other related companies linked to 1MDB-SRC-Najib SCANDAL? 

2. If they are still WANTED why is it that almost everyone tasked with locating these 'fugitives' are keeping mum? 

3. If the Royal Malaysian Police could obtain a warrant of arrest against Claire Brown of the Sarawak Report and immediately seek the help of Aseanapol and Interpol to nab her, WHY the apparent silence or perceived non-action against the 'fugitives' above? 

4. Which of the two cases (Claire Brown) or the 1MDB/SRC/Najib scandal is more important and is believed to have caused/having the risk of incurring losses amounting to Billion of Ringgit in Government funds? Could we please get our priorities right.

5. There has been widespread talk (rumours/hearsay/cigar-bar gossip/anonymous comments in blogs) that at least two of the THREE wanted guys are in Indonesia, purportedly under the protection of a certain business tycoon with close relationship to the fugitives' friends here. Is this true? Do we know where they are hiding or anything about foreigners protecting them? Are we still  actively looking for these fugitives ?

6. If the above 'fugitives' are no longer WANTED, why has there been no announcement or statements to that effect. Certainly Najib and the 'fugitives' family members would be elated with such an announcement. 

7. Since the MACC has made it very clear that they will be resuming their investigations into SRC International, could the Malaysian public then expect some renewed vigour in tracking down those WANTED 'fugitives'? I'm sure we could even seek the help of FBI, CIA and other powerful agencies apart from Aseanapol and Interpol if we are really serious about wanting  to nail those 'fugitives', can't we? 

8. Finally please be reminded that we, the sad, irritated, frustrated, angry, very disappointed but determined Malaysians, are following this case and other cases related to the 1MDB scandal very closely. 

To refresh, a definite statement to clarify if those Wanted are still Wanted or have they been cleared by a similar justification of just channelling 'donations to the Prime Minister of Malaysia' would be much appreciated. 

Over to you MACC, Bank Negara and the Royal Malaysian Police. 

p/s MACC could also take this opportunity to clarify who in the MACC actually issued/authorised/signed the purported statement clearing Najib Razak of any wrongdoings pertaining the approximately RM2.6 billion ringgit donation. Clearing the air would better than suffocating on somebody else' stinking waste. Thank you.
