Another 1MDB shocker by WSJ: Where did RM3.7bn go?

Najib and Arul Kanda have more serious explaining to do:

They should respond to this WSJ shocker: Malaysia’s 1MDB sent US$850m to entity set up to appear owned by Abu Dhabi wealth fund

A 1MDB unit transferred at least $850 million via three transactions last year to a British Virgin Islands-registered company with a name that made it look like it was controlled by IPIC, according to wire transfer documents viewed by the Journal and two people familiar with the matter.

The 1MDB fund sent the money to “Aabar Investments PJS Ltd.” which closely resembles the name of IPIC’s wholly owned subsidiary Aabar Investments PJS, the wire documents show….

Officials at IPIC say neither they nor any subsidiary received this money, the Journal reported.

Earlier:

One political analyst said more revelations like this are needed for us to have any hope of eventually cleansing the system.

1MDB did respond but its curt statement to the WSJ relevation doesn’t really enlighten us as to who owns “Aabar Investments PJS Ltd”.

Finally, check out Mahathir’s latest blog post blasting Najib’s performance at the recent Umno general assembly. The former premier is not about to misfire once he has his prey in the crosshairs.

Said one KL-based observer: “Surely, Umno supporters must finally wake up and say enough is enough! Mahathir’s blog post is worth reading. Credit to the old man: the threat of arrest does not faze him.”

Faced with ebbing support, Najib is now drawing even closer to a certain Hadi:

1MDB scandal reported by the various foreign media:

Jho Low’s Jynwel Foundation – From Stealing Malaysia’s 1MDB Money To Donating It To The United States – Sarawak Report (7Jan 2016) Penang born Jho Low became famous back in 2009, when photographs of him popping magnums of Cristal champagne with the likes of Paris Hilton emerged in US gossip columns. This, of course, was during the aftermath of his theft of USD$700 million from Malaysia’s development fund (1MDB). In the following years, Jho Low was seen throwing parties the likes of which, Las Vegas, Hollywood and San Tropez had never seen before. To counter the damaging impact of this… Read more »

Many pergi wang rakyat?

Bandar Malaysia could possibly be renamed as Bandar Tongsan, now that 1MDB made its year end commitment for rationalization by selling 60% of its stake to a consortium comprising Iskandar Waterfront Holdings and China Railway Engineering Corporation?

1MDB bought land cheaply at RM400 million in 2013 for the Bandar Malaysia project, and now sold to China firms (local Lim and China PRC) for RM7.4 billion for just 60 per cent. Smart move.

Sadly the Sungai Besi military base will soon be shopping malls owned by the PRC Chinese. Very shameful indeed to the dignity of Malays.

Azmi

Stupid people like you does not understand that we have one of the highest standard of living with foreigners coming to our shore for job and opportunities. Look around Europe, Middle East, Africa, Burma, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Philippine to name a few and see what are suffering more. Only your ignorant and feeble mind would think that way of our country

The ketuanan people are so afraid of one day being controlled by the pendatang. Yet, they are selling their ketuanan properties to the ancestors of the pendatang, gradually allowing the latter to control them?

Any comment my dear Azmi?

Please heed this advice by Saudara LKS: The challenge before all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion, region or even politics is not how to save an individual, whether Najib or Hadi; not to save any political party, whether UMNO or PAS; but how to save Malaysia from becoming a failed and a rogue state, where there is no respect for the supremacy of the Malaysian Constitution (like the National Security Council Bill which is a usurpation of the constitutional powers of the Yang di Pertuan Agong, the Cabinet and 13 State Governments), breakdown of the rule of law and collapse… Read more »

Azmi

Did najib deny 2.6b in his account?
Its so simple
If wall stret is publishing nonsense
Sue their pants off
by the way did imdb deny the remittance???

Azmi

Next time before opening your mouth please check. Arul and 1mdb has explained umpteen times and in this case they have respond immediately

Bigjoe

1MDB reply feels like “The account is in my name but its not like its a personal account”. If the mistake was not done, it should be a simple matter to rebut by stating the fact. BUT they are instead making return charges against WSJ.. It feels something very wrong..

Azmi

And you keep recycling without checking whether it’s fact or fiction. Anil holy God may God bless you

benny

If it is fiction, why Najib dare not sue WSJ?

WSJ drops US$850m bombshell on 1MDB

Najib can only convince kampung fellows watching his argument on TV3. Che Det needs to influence the grassroot malays in his quest to oust Najib. No need to waste time in London with Daim. Kampung is the way to go fo him to tell his story.

Azmi

Anil, heard you got 1 billion donated to your account. You sure have some explaining to do.

Surely you would not want me to believe in those cocky and bull story especially from some foreign press that have been recycled and recycled

Azmi

Someone gave me that account number that match yours but I am not stupid enough to believe him.

Are you smart enough not to believe the lies and deception created by WSJ

benny

Watch this Zunar cartoon if you cannot understand WSJ’s allegation.
