Shouldn’t Latheefa be focusing on the element of conspiracy that could have existed within the MACC itself instead of filing non-criminal suits related to a case already being tried in the court of law?
It seems to me that not only is she incompetent, she isn’t the “no nonsense” character they say she is and may herself be up to no good.
The civil forfeiture suits filed by the MACC are conjectural at best and do very little other than to subvert the ongoing trial involving Najib by generating perception that the former premier stole money from 1MDB.
Both Latheefa and Tommy Thomas have 48 hours to respond to these claims. A police report will be lodged at the Subang Jaya Police Headquarters on the 25th of June 2019 whereby the police will be given details as to why the probe into the RM2.6 billion controversy may be nothing but a sham.
A separate report will be lodged against Dato’ Ambiga Sreenevasan for reasons to be made known soon.
PETALING JAYA: The move by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to file 41 civil forfeiture suits to recover RM270 million that allegedly belonged to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) is hypocritical and reeks of conspiracy.
The anti-graft agency’s newly appointed chief commissioner, Latheefa Koya, has proven that she’s not the “no nonsense” person many have painted her out to be for allowing such lawsuits to be filed.
Latheefa should instead have focused on the reports I lodged against Dato’ Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull and Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz by coordinating efforts with the police.
The reports point to clear elements of conspiracy involving both Shukri and Zeti to throw Najib under the bus and suggest that the duo may have been paid to do so.
In 2015, Shukri discovered that the RM2.6 billion which the (then) Malaysian opposition accused Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak of siphoning from 1MDB was in fact a combination of donations and a gift from the royal household of Saudi Arabia.
Then an assistant commissioner tasked with probing SRC International and 1MDB, Shukri entered in an investigation paper (hereinafter referred to as “the paper”) that Zeti knew the names of individuals and companies that facilitated the transfer of the said sum into Najib’s personal account.
Shukri completed two papers into the RM2.6 billion and SRC ‘scandals’ and claimed he questioned more than 100 witnesses throughout the course of his investigations.
However, when opening a fresh paper upon taking over from Tan Sri Abu Kassim as Chief Commissioner of the MACC, he failed to re-call all the witnesses and left out the single most important person who was pivotal to the whole affair – Zeti.
In 2015, he wrote that Zeti had known from the get go that the RM2.6 billion comprised donations and a gift from the Saudi royal family.
The paper bore entries of Zeti’s dealings with a representative of the Saudi royal household and the manager of Ambank Jalan Raja Chulan where Najib opened accounts to receive the said fund.
According to Shukri, the suggestion to park the fund in Najib’s account had originated from Zeti, meaning, the former MACC chief accepted Zeti’s reasoning that the transfer of such an amount into Najib’s account was in no way controversial or criminal.
Yet, when Zeti denied having any knowledge of the transfer, Shukri made no bones of it or even an effort to haul up the former Bank Negara governor for questioning.
That automatically means Shukri acknowledged and accepted Zeti’s denial despite it being contradictory to what he himself entered in the paper.
Is this not solid enough evidence that either the paper was fabricated or a conspiracy to do Najib in existed?
Why did the Attorney-General’s Chambers not make any effort to notify the Prime Minister of the contradiction?
Was Tommy Thomas not made aware of the police report I lodged against him, Shukri and Zeti to highlight the contradiction and seek investigations into a conspiracy to throw Najib under the bus?
On the 29thof April 2019, one of Thomas’ own witnesses, Umma Devi, confirmed that the money in Najib’s account was a gift from the Saudi government.
According to the Ambank Group branch manager, Bank Negara was made aware of the transaction and notified that the money was from Prince Turki of Saudi Arabia.
Uma noted that Najib had corresponded with the bank in 2013 when closing the account and remitted a portion of the un-utilised donation/personal gift in a single transfer.
Does this not strengthen my case against Shukri and Zeti?
Shouldn’t Latheefa be focusing on the element of conspiracy that may have existed within the MACC itself instead of filing these non-criminal suits related to a case already being tried in the court of law?
