No sign of anyone taking ownership of 1MDB, SRC probes

YOURSAY | ‘Since they are completed, do we expect charges against the wrongdoers?’

Police have completed 1MDB probe, says IGP

FlabberPro: While the authorities in different countries are arresting those involved and closing down banks which facilitated the transactions, over here in Malaysia, no one has committed any crime in the 1MDB scandal.

There is no need for any heads to roll because in Malaysia, corruption and loss of billions of dollars is apparently acceptable.

The new inspector-general of police (IGP) is a very responsible man. Hence, his quick conclusion that the 1MDB case is now closed.

While the anger of the rakyat is fuelled even more, no one in authority could be bothered.

FellowMalaysian: IGP Mohamad Fuzi Harun said the investigation into 1MDB has been completed and there were no new developments.

If so, then where is the report of your investigation? If there's no report, then the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) must have taken the public for a ride as the investigating team was formed and announced by his predecessor in June.

NNFC: Indeed, to further improve the credibility of the force, we suggest that this report be released to the public.

This will enable the people to judge if the investigation was thoroughly completed, and to verify certain facts. If this is all good, we can let it rest.

Slumdog: Incredible, they proudly announce that they have concluded their investigations into 1MDB and there are no new developments.

Contrast this with the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI who are investigating the scandal and are confident that criminal actions will be taken against those involved in money laundering and theft of public funds.

Dojusa: Since investigations are completed, do we expect criminal charges be instituted against the wrongdoers?

Did the investigation reveal a crime had been committed? Have the investigation papers sent to attorney-general’s (AG's) office?

When other jurisdictions have found criminal elements in the case, are you going to deny that the alleged crime of theft had been committed?

By not prosecuting these criminals, it is clear that the rule of law has broken down. This marks the end of the road for the corrupt BN government.

Ericlcc: Well, one still has to look from IGP’s perspective because if he declares the force's intent to arrest Malaysian Official 1 (MO1), he will suddenly find himself stricken with severe illness and had to be officially retired on medical grounds.

Then soon a more junior and compliant officer will be rushed in to become the new IGP.

He may be a Special Branch officer all his life, but he is not stupid. The powers he has is only temporal and can be taken from him at any time.

1Citizen: It has become a merry-go-round, a game of musical chairs, ‘pi mai tang tu’, passing the buck, call it what you like because we know where the buck stops.

Where can the rakyat go to for help? Overseas to foreigners with conscience, because honestly there is no conscience in any of the people in power position over here.

Caripasal: It is idiotic for the IGP to expect further instruction from the cabinet as the man leading the cabinet is the man under investigation.

AG yet to receive MACC's probe papers on SRC

Res Ipsa: Looking at the trail of events, one really can't understand what exactly MACC is investigating in relation to monies from SRC that found its way to our PM's personal account.

PM Najib Razak has claimed that he was not aware of the source of the monies and thought that it was part of the Arab donation. AG Mohamed Apandi Ali cleared him earlier on this score during his infamous press conference.

Since the commission of the act – that is, the transfer of monies from SRC to the PM - has already been admitted or confirmed by both Najib and Apandi, perhaps MACC is now investigating the state of mind of our PM to establish whether he was ignorant or otherwise over the origin of the monies.

Justice: This investigation by the MACC on the alleged RM42 million from SRC which landed in Najib's bank accounts is made to look as if it is much more complex than rocket science, although it is just a simple and straight forward matter of getting the account book of the SRC and then trace the money trail to Najib's bank account.

Slumdog: The US Department of Justice (DOJ) have completed their civil case investigations. The complex web of money transfers between a myriad of associated and fake companies is detailed in a report hundreds of pages long.

The Singapore’s Monetary Authority have already wrapped up their investigations and brought to court the accused.

They are either spending time in prison, have been fined or banned from working in Singapore. A bank’s licence has also been withdrawn because of its involvement in money laundering.

But in Malaysia, a single investigation into one company, SRC, concerning the RM42 million from the company which landed in Najib’s bank account is still under investigation by MACC.

How many more years is this going to take? Let me guess the outcome - insufficient evidence to prosecute and therefore no further action.

2465861491622056: Apandi has now blamed MACC. All this time, MACC has been saying that they cannot do anything if the AG refuses to prosecute.

The MACC head's credibility is now at stake, as it appears they are stalling its investigation into SRC.- Mkini
