Every Time Pakatan Is In Trouble They Talk About 1MDB

Yes, you need to distract the people. You need to control what they talk about. An idle mind is a devil’s workshop. Make them talk about 1MDB or else they will talk about other things such as their unhappiness. And the people are very unhappy with what is happening in Malaysia. And it is going to get far worse before it starts getting better.  

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER 

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Pakatan Harapan is in trouble. Normally, the Prime Minister does not get involved in by-elections. That is the job of the Deputy Prime Minister. But they are not doing too well in Cameron Highlands so they had to drag Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to go ceramah there.

Another sign Pakatan Harapan is in trouble is when they drag out the 1MDB issue. Free Malaysia Todayreported ‘Deloitte, KPMG under probe over 1MDB, says report’ while Sarawak Report said ‘Deafening silence out of Australia over 1MDB’s connection to top bank ANZ’.

Sarawak Report said:

So, unless the Bloomberg story is entirely false, despite providing the most likely explanation for the strange pattern of sales, AmBank was involved every step of the way and also involved in the profiteering. It makes its position every bit as awkward as that of Goldman Sachs, which performed a similar role during the later bond issues by 1MDB leading to investigations by the FBI leading to criminal charges from Malaysia as well.

Malays would call her ‘Mat Salleh say whale’

So what is Sarawak Report saying, that Najib Tun Razak stole RM42 billion of 1MDB’s money? Well, then just say it. Why putar sini putar sana?

And Free Malaysia Today said:

Quoting sources, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that the SC is looking into whether the two firms “were aiding and abetting in this scandal, or merely negligent”.

Quoting sources? Which sources? Rafizi Ramli? Kalau Rafizi Ramli then tak payahlah. And they are looking into whether the two firms “were aiding and abetting in this scandal, or merely negligent”. So in essence they do not know yet. This is just a fishing expedition. In the end they might not catch any fish.

Why every day talk so much? If Najib stole RM42 billion of 1MDB’s money then tangkap sajalah!

Basically, they need something to say, NOW, regarding 1MDB. They want to remind people about 1MDB because people are no longer bothered about this issue. Kata Najib curi RM42 bilion duit 1MDB. Tapi takde pun Najib kena charge curi RM42 bilion duit 1MDB!

They need to keep talking about 1MDB because they have nothing else to talk about. And if they do not talk about 1MDB then people will talk about Pakatan Harapan’s failures and the false promises and the election manifesto they have reneged on.

Yes, you need to distract the people. You need to control what they talk about. An idle mind is a devil’s workshop. Make them talk about 1MDB or else they will talk about other things such as their unhappiness. And the people are very unhappy with what is happening in Malaysia. And it is going to get far worse before it starts getting better.

Tengok muka dah tahu hati busuk

So, every day we are going to hear about 1MDB. But only cerita saja. Cakap-cakap only. No action, because they have nothing on Najib. Najib did not steal RM42 billion of 1MDB’s money like they say. So they cannot send Naib to jail, not like someone else who might go to jail for sodomy if he pushes his luck too far.

Deloitte, KPMG under probe over 1MDB, says report

(FMT) – Two of the world’s largest audit firms, Deloitte and KPMG, are being investigated by the Securities Commission of Malaysia (SC) over their involvement in the 1MDB scandal.

Quoting sources, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that the SC is looking into whether the two firms “were aiding and abetting in this scandal, or merely negligent”.

“The accountants must be held accountable,” the newspaper reported its source as saying.

The SC, however, remained tight-lipped when asked to confirm the investigation and only told SCMP that its review of the “conduct of auditors in relation to 1MDB audits is still ongoing”.

Deloitte and KPMG, according to the report, did not respond to requests for comment.

Deloitte was 1MDB’s third auditor, after Ernst & Young LLP and KPMG.

In 2016, Deloitte resigned as the financial scandal surrounding the debt-ridden state firm made headlines around the globe.

KPMG was responsible for the fund’s accounts for 2010, 2011 and 2012, while Deloitte managed the 2013 and 2014 financial statements.

In June last year, KPMG said the financial statements for the financial years ended March 2010, 2011 and 2012 did not provide a true and fair assessment of 1MDB.

In August of last year, it was reported that the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) was investigating the two firms. In November, it completed its probe on Deloitte and referred the case to its disciplinary committee.

SCMP went on to quote anti-graft activist Cynthia Gabriel as saying that the audit firms involved were “a party to the fraud”.

“The personnel involved should be duly punished. Evidence of wrongdoing has been produced – the auditor general’s report, the public accounts committee’s report.

“In fact, KPMG is working at nullifying the audit report 2011-2012,” Cynthia, who is the executive director of the Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism, was reported as saying.

Sources also told SCMP that they believe that KPMG may be negotiating a deal with the Malaysian authorities
