YOURSAY ‘There is no way BN could have survived GE13 without those billions.’

Three frozen accounts belong to PM, says source

Justice Pao: You freeze the accounts that are still active where PM Najib Razak could have allegedly transferred the money to. But you do not have to inform Bank Negara if the transfers are between accounts within the same bank.

It is highly probable Najib could be telling the truth - the RM2.6 billion was not for his personal use but for Umno-BN.

After all, a certain Musa fellow (Sabah CM Musa Aman) had gotten away with this excuse (in his case, RM40 million), so a precedence has been set in which the account holder where the funds was transferred to was found not guilty.

Hamzah Paiman: The question is not whether an individual misappropriated the money. It is about the illegal transfer of huge sums of money into the individual's account. That by itself is considered money laundering and if carried out by any citizen is punishable by law.

So if huge sums of money are transferred into an account of an individual for whatever purposes, there is simply no way but a jail term.
          
Ferdtan: I am curious how this special task force came about with Bank Negara, the police, the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in it.

Who are they reporting to? In normal circumstances, they are all reporting to the PM so how can they investigate their boss?

Shouldn’t they investigate at their end and then pass it to the AGC to press charges against the culprits including Najib, if any?

Honestly, Malaysians just don’t trust any of the four heads of the enforcement departments. We had been there before. Malaysians had been made fools too many times.

Kangkung: Why is the special task force so afraid of publicly revealing the owners of those accounts that have been frozen? What is so special about this case compared to others?

Now that Najib has been directly implicated in this serious case, how can he continue to remain as PM? After all, he can interfere with the investigation.

Baby Joey: At no point have those making these allegations offered any evidence. All we have heard is that these allegations are based on leaked documents and unnamed investigators.

Not once has the source of these documents ever been shown, neither have the documents themselves been provided for verification by lawful authorities.

As we now know, a number of the documents on which recent allegations have been based were reportedly doctored. The person who was leaking these documents is under investigation by authorities overseas for attempting to extort and blackmail his former employer.

This says a lot about the reliability of the documents, and those who are using them to damage our government and our country.

Swot Strategist: The Wall Street Journal has 2.4 million in daily circulation and has won the Pulitzer Prize for 36 times, while Umno’s Utusan Malaysia with 178,000 in daily circulation has negligible awards.

Again, this year 2015, WSJ is the Pulitzer Prize winner for its investigative reporting on US Medicare. So which newspaper’s reporting will you trust?

Orange88: Malaysians want to know the total amount of money left in the six frozen accounts. Maybe there is no money left as the money has been transferred out of the country.

If this is the case, this is clearly a case of CBT (criminal breach of trust) and corruption (and of course, abuse of power).

Bank Negara should know the movement of big sums of money in and out of the country. We like to ask the Bank Negara governor how is it that this can happen right in front of her very eyes.

Now that six accounts have been frozen, irrespective of whether there is any money left, if there are evidence of the money movement, actions must be taken against the PM.

He has betrayed the trust of the people which he has pledged to uphold when he was sworn in as PM before the Agong.

Oh Ya?: Let's assume Najib is finished and another Umno man takes over as the PM. Would anything change? Would there be lesser corruption? Would there be fewer scandals of this magnitude?

Would there be better racial unity and lesser religious bigotry? Would there be better education system? Would the independent institutions be really independent?

The short answer is no. This change is just a political stunt to get rid of a liability to Umno so that it can sustain its rule, period.

Caripasal: Whatever conclusion made by the task force investigation is no longer important. At the end of the day, they will say the money was used for pre-election goodies, or to help the poor.

MACC has just announced that pre-election goodies are legal. MACC is indeed trying legalise something illegal.

NewMalaysia: Any person with a fair mind could easily figure out that there is no way BN could have survived GE13 without those billions from 1MDB.
                      
BN is probably the only coalition or party in the world that can fund their election campaign without any need to raise fund from the public, never ever accounted for where and how they managed to get those funds to campaign for elections with all those free food, handouts and campaign materials.

Some of their candidates could have easily spent millions on their campaign, as such, it could have easily run into billions of ringgit for all BN candidates.

That's why I am not surprise at all those billions allegedly went into Najib's bank accounts for him to fund the election campaign in the most intense and critical GE since independence.

That's exactly why Najib deny taking any money for personal use - the money was used to save BN from defeat, and those Umno warlords and ministers must therefore defend him unconditionally. -Mkini
