APANDI THE LIAR: U.S. TOOK ACTION BASED ON ITS OWN DATA ON NAJIB'S THIEVERY - NOT DUE TO DR M OR SARAWAK REPORT

Bad news for Malaysian politicians and associates with funds in the US,Singapore: US Kleptocracy Unit acts on its own intel; Singapore acts on intel collected for a variety of reasons

Contrary to popular belief,a complaint by three "credible witnesses" is not required to initiate an investigation by US,Singapore and other regulatory authorities.

In his Q&A PENJELASAN ISU MALAYSIA OFFICIAL 1 (Q&A clarifying the issue of Malaysia Official 1) Malaysia's AG Appandi Ali asserts that the DOJ's 1 MDB asset seizure was initiated by the former UMNO man Khairuddin Hassan and the investigative website ,Sarawak Report.

The AG shows a startling ignorance of normal policing and intelligence methods ( or is otherwise being disingenuous) for he would, or ought to know that the US DOJ's Kleptocracy Unit acts on information received from its own US regulatory sources.

The 1 MDB transactions were not only very large, but also involved Politically Exposed Persons (PEP).Each factor by itself would have brought the transactions to the attention of the Kleptocracy Unit, and required investigation. It is a nonsense to say that enforcement agencies can only act if there is a complaint.

With regards Singapore, as previously reported on this writer's RealpolitikAsia blog, the Government of Singapore collects financial intelligence for a variety of reasons and acts on that intelligence as it pleases.
