WSJ Calls AG Liar, Curtain Coming Down - A Message To Fei Low.

1.   This is a comment from a reader in the previous post :

Wow, what happened? Its quite simple really.   When the Boogeese pirate was caught with pants around ankles, he needed to find a convenient cover story.   But who in their right mind would want to embroil themselves in the whole radioactive 1MDB mess? 

ANSWER: Anyone already involved. Hence the donation letters & Fake Sheikh were arranged by Prince Ayam Belanda and the Obaid brothers. 

But by that stage, I dont think any of them had that kind of money to give.  The road will lead to the UAE, and now Fei Low must decide soon whether to try and save himself or the First Couple.   Swim with the hippo or sink it?  Because they'll try and make you take the blame for everything, Fei Low. Careful. "

End quote.

My comments : I dont know who wrote this but thank you. And spot on.  Not only Fei Low will take the blame,  there will be many hangers on who will be sacrificed.

Curtains coming down.  Dont believe me? 

And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, 

"Save us, Rabboni; we are perishing!"

He said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?"

2.  Oops, digressed a bit there. Here is Malaysian Insider's take on that latest Wall Street Journal article:

RM2.6 billion in Najib’s accounts not from Saudis, says WSJ editor 

Published: 18 February 2016 9:21 PM

WSJ finance editor refuted RM2.6b 'donation' 
did not come from Saudi royal family as stated by AG 

billions in Najib accounts did not come from Saudi royal family
but companies related to (1MDB), WSJ finance editor Ken Brown said.
 
had evidence to back this up
international investigations into 1MDB would lead authorities to Najib.

the money did not come from Saudis 
came via a bunch of companies related to 1MDB.

• "Our story hasn't been called into question yet 
• we have lots of evidence to back that up," said Brown
• "real action" now were overseas investigations into 1MDB
• information would slowly trickle out in the next few months.
  "..it will be hard to keep it away from PM," said Brown

govt wanted Malaysians to stop talking about the money Najib received.

OSA amendments mooted after Apandi directed investigations be closed.

now they say no one can speak about that," said Brown.

proposal to charge journalists also a move to cripple news organisations.
"Last year they shut down a couple of news organisation
"more they come down the more it looks worse for the government."

July last year, WSJ and The Thingy reported SRC transferred RM42m to Najib 
transferred between December 2014 and February 2015 
through SRC subsidiaries, Gandingan Mentari, Ihsan Perdana 

Apandi said no criminal wrongdoing as the funds donation from "Saudi royal family"

My comments :  

Listen to this part carefully folks :

• Our story hasn't been called into question yet 
• we have lots of evidence to back that up," said Brown
• "real action" now were overseas investigations into 1MDB
• information would slowly trickle out in the next few months
• "..it will be hard to keep it away from PM," said Brown

Indeed the international investigations involving the Swiss, the US, Hong Kong and Singapore will be coming to a peak soon. The Singaporeans are still playing a bit of a game but they have been put in a spot by the Swiss. The Swiss have beat the Singaporeans to the gun. Things have started moving in Singapore only AFTER that Swiss Attorney General made that extraordinary media statement about 1MDB.

Here is what happened in Singapore. That ex Coutts Bank, ex BSI Bank fellow Yak had his bank accounts frozen.  Singapore should have charged him in Court but they did not because they do not want to offend a sitting prime minister of their water supplier. So not very transparent lah in Singapore - despite being an international financial centre and such.   But they had to keep up with the Swiss.   

How to do it without hurting the feelings of next door neighbour? 

They first asked the Yak guy to pay taxes on the money in the frozen account. If he did not pay taxes they would prosecute him and put him in jail. So the Yak guy agreed. 

Then the Yak guy filed a quite useless affidavit against the Singapore government to unfreeze his frozen account (which was NOT going to happen anyway) so that he could pay those same taxes.  

But in the process his application to unfreeze the account required Yak to file a detailed affidavit which named Jho Low, 1MDB etc.    That detailed information has now become public knowledge (because they are Court documents).  This was a private action by an individual and not  the work of the Singapore government. 

Now the Singaporeans can simply hand over that affidavit to help the Swiss in their investigations, without offending their neighbour. Clever.   

Here is that other comment by Wall Street Journal :  

• WSJ finance editor refuted RM2.6b 'donation' 
• did not come from Saudi royal family as stated by AG

So the money was not from Saudi Arabia. I think we have all suspected this from Day 1. No one believes that Saudi Arabia would have given  RM2.6 billion to anyone. 

Then the story gets more strange - the vast bulk of the money was returned. And on alternate Sundays pigs do fly in the sky with the birds.

Now the Wall Street Journal insists that they have evidence to back up what they say. They say the money was not from Saudi Arabia. They say the money was companies and bank accounts related to 1MDB. Meaning this was our money, Malaysian taxpayers money.  I think many people have long suspected this, from Day 1.

Thank you to Wall Street Journal for saying this. I think they have been reading my Blog too where I did appeal to the international media to take up on this point. (Let me blow my horn a little lah).

I would like to repeat those points again :

1. How did the AG Apandi Ali know so many details about the returned money? 
2. How did the AG know it was RM2.03 billion that was returned?
3. How did the AG know it was returned in Aug 2013 ?
4. How did the AG know it was returned to the Saudis?
5. How did the AG know it was returned to the Saudi royal family?

Because the MACC has never hinted that this is what happened.

The MACC did say in public that the money was a donation from Saudi Arabia and that was it. They did not say anything more.

So where did Apandi Ali get the information that RM2.03 billion was returned to the Saudis in Aug. 2013?

The Wall Street Journal says they have evidence that this is a false story.
