Former finance minister Daim Zainuddin has asked just what the problem is in owning a bank in Tanzania.
This is in response to Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, who recently in the Keadilan Daily, claimed that he has evidence of Daim allegedly swindling money from Malaysia and keeping the money there.
Daim dismissed Anwar as a "kaki goreng” (someone who makes things up), adding that if Anwar has any evidence on his alleged misconduct then he should make a detailed report to the authorities, he was quoted as saying in the Utusan Malaysiatoday.
“Anwar (right) when meeting with the Tanzania president in an investment session there asked about my assets. The president replied that I have a bank in Tanzania, so what is the problem?” Daim asked.
“Anwar, after he was expelled from Umno, everything is described as improper. So what was he doing in the party?” he added.
Anwar has met the president, finance minister and Bank governor of Tanzania
“The governor said Daim has a bank in Tanzania and I asked him where did the money come from. Certainly it is from Malaysia and kept there,” said the opposition leader.
He added there was evidence of Daim had abusing his power, when the person responsible in managing the bank was arrested in London.
“I brought this to the attention of the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission but there has been no action,” the Permatang Pauh MP has said.
Daim revealed that Anwar has lodged various reports against him asking for an investigation.
“The call for investigation is based on letters I sent to him. However, he blanked my name and claimed he obtained the letters on his own.
"Twice the authorities have investigated me on my assets. At that time Anwar was finance minister and also chair for corruption, why did he not take action?
“Only after he was expelled from Umno that he start raising this,” Daim asserted.
He added that Anwar had previously claimed to hold boxes of documents of alleged abuse of power by Malaysian politicians but till today, has not exposed anything.
