DISMISSALS AND REPLACEMENTS

1. The Malaysian Insider recently reported the MACC Chief Abu Kassim might be replaced, basing it on “source”.

2. Abu Kassim has some health problem but he himself says that he hopes to retire at 60, the mandatory retirement age. Obviously he does not think that his health would force him to retire any time soon.

3. Government has certain procedures for sick employees to retire before reaching retirement age. A Medical Board will have to be set up to examine the health of the person who seeks to retire early.

4. The Board will issue a proper medical report on the state of the person’s health and certify his being unfit to work.

5. If the officer’s appointment is at the pleasure of the Yang di Pertuan Agong, then the certificate must be produced for the Agong to agree to his retirement, and for his signature.

6. There is doubt whether in the case of the former A.G. Tan Sri Ghani Patail the procedures were followed. When he was retired the PM stated that it was for health reasons. Ghani himself denied this although he was suffering from kidney failure. A kidney failure person can work for quite a considerable length of time. It is not a cause for early retirement.

7. And now Ghani is reported to begin a career as a lawyer. Obviously he is fit to work.

8. The question is whether the MACC chief will also be retired prematurely for health reason? It is known that the MACC has submitted its report to the AG. The AG says he would act without fear or favour. But he requires time as the report piles up to his height. How much time? Or is the AG to determine whether there is a case for the judges to judge or will he be the judge and dismiss the case as indeed he had done with the Bank Negara report.

9. There is currently a deficit in terms of trust in the present Government and its institutions. There are many reasons for this deficit. Saying that everything is fine will get the Government nowhere. Deeds count more than words.

10. The removal of Tan Sri Abu Kassim will only convince the people that all that is being said against the Government is true, that it exist merely to prevent the rule of law being applied to the leadership of the nation.

TPPA

1. The Government could not care less for whatever opposition that is voiced by anyone in Malaysia or abroad against signing the TPPA. It will go ahead and sign.

2. The MITI Minister assures us that we can get out of the agreement anytime we want.

3. Yes indeed we can. But it is not going to be easy and the cost would practically bankrupt us.

4. In the TPPA agreement companies can sue Government for loss of profit including future profit if Government action results in the loss.

5. In one case in a Latin American country, for reasons of massive pollution, the Government decided to stop the mining operation granted to an American company. The company then sued the Government for loss of profit, including future profit amounting to several billion US Dollars.

6. A decision to withdraw from the TPPA will obviously result in loss of profit and future profits by companies investing in Malaysia or trading with Malaysia.

7. The withdrawal will involve numerous companies and the purported loss will run into hundreds of billions. The court will not be ours where we can count on sympathy and concern for what will happen to our economy and finances. There is also no way we can pressure or bribe the courts. We will just have to pay the billions.

8. So please don’t talk about extricating ourselves from this treaty for controlling trade and investments called the TPPA. It is not for promoting free trade. It is entirely dedicated to regulating trade.

9. Against this perhaps we should remember that when we had entered into no such treaty we became the 17th biggest trading nation in the world. We were free to protect ourselves and to devise policies beneficial to all of us Malaysians. We grew fast at that time. We traded with whomever we liked.

10. I can say a lot of other things which are bad about the TPPA. But the Government wouldn’t care of course. The Government will do what it wants to do. Don’t ask why. You know what answer tou will get when you ask the Government any question.

VERSI BM

TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT (TPPA)

1. Kerajaan tidak kisah apa jua tentangan yang disuarakan oleh sesiapa sahaja di Malaysia atau di luar negara terhadap menandatangani TPPA. Ia akan terus menandatanganinya.

2. Menteri Kementerian Perdagangan Antarabangsa Dan Industri (MITI) cuba meyakinkan kita bahawa kita boleh keluar daripada perjanjian itu pada bila-bila masa yang kita mahu.

3. Ya, memang kita boleh. Tetapi ianya tidak akan menjadi semudah itu dan kosnya boleh mufliskan kita.

4. Dalam perjanjian TPPA ini syarikat boleh menyaman Kerajaan kerana kehilangan keuntungan, termasuk keuntungan masa depan, jika tindakan Kerajaan mengakibatkan kerugian itu.

5. Dalam satu kes di sebuah negara Amerika Latin, atas sebab-sebab pencemaran besar-besaran, Kerajaan telah memutuskan untuk menghentikan operasi perlombongan yang diberi kepada sebuah syarikat Amerika. Syarikat itu kemudian menyaman Kerajaan beberapa bilion Dolar AS kerana kehilangan keuntungan, termasuk keuntungan masa depan.

6. Sesuatu keputusan untuk menarik diri daripada TPPA sudah pasti akan menyebabkan kehilangan keuntungan dan keuntungan masa depan oleh syarikat-syarikat yang melabur di Malaysia atau berdagang dengan Malaysia.

7. Penarikan diri ini akan melibatkan banyak syarikat dan jangkaan kerugiannya dikatakan boleh mencecah beratus-ratus bilion. Mahkamahnya bukan milik kita di mana kita boleh bergantung untuk simpati dan prihatin terhadap apa yang akan berlaku kepada ekonomi dan kewangan kita. Tidak ada cara di mana kita boleh memberi tekanan atau merasuah mahkamah. Kita akan terpaksa membayar berbilion-bilion.

8. Oleh itu, tidaklah perlu bercakap tentang melepaskan diri daripada perjanjian bagi mengawal perdagangan dan pelaburan ini, yang dipanggil TPPA. Ianya bukan untuk menggalakkan perdagangan bebas. Ia adalah khusus untuk mengawal selia perdagangan sepenuhnya.

9. Berbanding dengan ini, mungkin kita perlu ingat bahawa apabila kita tidak memeterai sebarang perjanjian seperti ini, kita menjadi negara perdagangan ke-17 terbesar di dunia. Kita bebas untuk melindungi diri kita sendiri dan merangka dasar yang memberi manfaat kepada kita semua rakyat Malaysia. Kita tumbuh dengan pesat pada masa itu. Kita berniaga dengan sesiapa sahaja yang kita suka.

10. Saya boleh banyak berbicara tentang perkara-perkara lain yang tidak baik mengenai TPPA. Tetapi Kerajaan sudah tentu tidak akan mengambil berat. Kerajaan akan melakukan apa saja yang ia mahu lakukan. Jangan soal mengapa. Anda tahu apa jawapan yang anda akan dapat apabila anda bertanya kepada Kerajaan sebarang soalan.

THE PARIS ATTACK

1. Everyone, certainly every Muslim must condemn the dastardly attack by Muslims in Paris when more than 100 innocent people were killed. It was not one incident but it consisted of a series of coordinated attacks in different parts of Paris. It certainly gave Islam and the Muslims a bad image. It practically justified the claim that Islam is associated with terrorism.

2. Obviously, something has to be done to put an end to such attacks. The French Government is calling for a coalition of countries against the ISIS and against terrorism generally. The whole world seems prepared to join in the fight against ISIS in particular.

3. If we care to study history, we would not fail to note that such acts of terror have been escalating over the years. They are getting more and more terrifying and brutal all the time.

4. Those who feel concerned would notice that these acts of terror are largely confined to the Arab States in the Middle East. They began with the creation of the state of Israel on Palestinian land. The Palestinian Arabs were massacred and expelled from their country by Irgun and Haganah terrorist groups of the Israelis. They lost their land, their homes and their fruit orchards. They had to live in shabby refugee camps in other countries in the region. For well over 60 years they suffer the deprivations of displaced people. At first a few Arab countries tried to regain Palestine through conventional wars. From 1948 to 1982 they attacked Israel. But every time they were defeated as Israel was supplied with arms and money and even soldiers by America and the European countries.

5. The Arab countries accepted the fact that they could never win a war against Israel. So they ceased trying after 1982.

6. In 1987 Yasser Arafat set up the PLO Al Fatah group and started the first intifada. At first it consisted of Palestinian children throwing stones at Israeli tanks. The Israelis countered by shooting at the children, with rubber coated and live bullets killing many, arresting and jailing some of the others. Far from stopping the Israelis, they actually expanded their territories by building settlements on Palestinian land. This setting up of settlements in other people’s land is totally unprecedented. Yet the world did not condemn Israel.

7. Then the Palestinians set up guerrilla units to attack the Israelis. The Israelis retaliated by bombarding and reducing to rubble Arab towns and villages. There were many arrests of Arabs, who were jailed without trial.

8. When the Palestinians sought refuge in Lebanon, Israel invaded Lebanon and massacred thousands of refugees in Sabra and Shatila camps. They forced the expulsion of the PLO from Lebanon.

9. The Palestinians resorted to suicide bombings. They did little damage but their action was described as terrorism. They also fired primitive rockets at Israel, with hardly any effect.

10. The Israelis retaliated by bombing, rocketing Gaza, Jenin and other towns until thousands died, hundreds of thousands wounded.

11. Rebuilding the destroyed homes was blocked by the Israeli blockade of building materials. The blockade also prevented supplies of food and medicine from reaching Gaza and other destroyed towns and villages. The survivors had to shelter in wrecked buildings and tents, exposed to freezing cold in winter. Until now they have not been able to rebuild their homes.

12. The Gazans made primitive rockets and fired them at Israel, as usual with little damage. Israel rocketed and bombarded Gaza invading it and destroying almost all the buildings including schools and hospitals.

13. Then Iraq was attacked by the American and British forces and Saddam Hussein was overthrown and hanged. Without a strong Government, the Sunnis and Shiahs began to fight each other, committing brutalities against each other. Under Saddam they had lived in peace.

14. Then the West urged the Arabs to overthrow the autocratic Governments of many of the Arab states. The result was chaos, anarchy and civil wars.

15. There is an uprising in Syria. The civil war destroyed the whole country. Four million Syrians fled the country. They suffered terribly. The same is now happening in Yemen.

16. The whole Arab world is in a state of turmoil as Arabs fight Arabs. Groups of Syrian rebels were trained, equipped and financed by foreign powers to fight against the Bashar Assad Government. The Government fought back.

17. Some of the rebels decided to use the weapons supplied to them by America to fight for the setting up of an Islamic State. To be noticed and to be feared they indulge in unheard of brutality. They slit the throats of innocent captives with short knives and they shot dead a lot of other innocent captives including teenage boys. They burnt alive some of their captives. And now they have expanded their activities to Europe, shooting innocent people.

18. While mounting military operations against these people are logical and will probably be fairly effective; the acts of terror and the killing of innocent people will not end. The death of leaders or killers will be replaced by new recruits who probably would be more brutal.

19. The only way to end the terror is to tackle the root causes. Among these will be the unstinting support for Israel by Americans and Europeans. This must stop.

20. The setting up of the state of Israel is a fait accompli which even the Arabs have to accept. They put their faith in the Stockholm agreement but Israeli oppression continued. They killed Yitzhak Rabin to ensure that peace will not prevail.

21. Killing stone throwing children, arresting them and jailing them for years without trial is excessive and criminal.

22. Building settlements on Palestinian land and excluding the Palestinian from what is their land, building roads on Palestinian land which the Palestinians are barred from using, erecting road blocks obstructing travel in Palestine by Palestinians, delaying pregnant mothers from going to the hospital until they gave birth to their children at the road blocks; building walls to split up villages, killing thousands of Palestinian refugees in the refugee camps, breaking into hospitals to drag out sick Palestinians for execution, illegally blockading relief food, medicine and building materials from reaching the Palestinians, arresting thousands of Palestinians and detaining them for years without trial, using them as hostages to exchange for captured Israelis, destroying towns, villages and the Gaza Strip with rockets, bombs, heavy guns, tanks and tractors, often destroying houses while the people are still inside and lots more, are still being committed by Israel.

23. All these things are wrong, are against the laws of all countries and of International laws and practices, against the norms of human behaviour, inhuman and immoral. But the Europeans who insist they believe in the rule of law, believe in human rights, in justice and fairplay did not condemn the Israelis, and certainly did not try to stop them. They even seem supportive of all the wrong deeds of the Israelis.

24. The world does not care for the sufferings and humiliation of the Palestinians. It’s as if the Palestinians are not of the human race.

25. The sufferings of the Palestinian, the injustice towards them, the humiliation are felt also by other Arabs, even other Muslims. Angry and frustrated, humiliated, unable to retaliate conventionally, insulted over their beliefs and their faith in Islam, the Arabs and other Muslims had to retaliate, to give back as much as they can the cruelties perpetrated against them.

26. And so their so-called acts of terror escalated. The more they fail the greater is the brutality which they exercise. As no Muslims states are prepared to act, they attempt to set up their own state. Unable to launch a conventional war, they resort to what is described as acts of terror.

27. And the acts of terror will continue and escalate until there are some real effort to redress the sufferings, humiliation and injustice that the Palestinians, the Arabs and Muslims have been subjected to by the Israelis backed by the European and the Americans.

28. I have no sympathy for IS and abhor the kind of terror they indulge in. What they do is completely against the teachings of Islam and the accepted norms of human behaviour.

29. Terrorism is a bane on the life of ordinary people. They never know when they will be victims of terror. We applaud the idea of stopping acts of terror. But mere military action will not defeat terrorists. Only the removal of the causes of terrorism will do that.

30. The causes are known and have been listed above. Israeli intransigence must be stopped and the settlements and seizure of Palestinian land be reversed. When these things are done then only will there be less frustrations and anger among Muslims and less resort to acts of terrorism. Failure to admit the causes will only lead to the continuance and escalation of acts of terror.

UCAPAN PRESIDEN UMNO

1. Ucapan Presiden UMNO dalam perhimpunan Agung UMNO 2015 amat mengecewakan. Ia tertumpu dan terhad kepada mempertahan diri sahaja.

2. Presiden mendakwa, ia adalah Gentleman, berjiwa besar, berani, tidak bacul dan tidak akan undur.

3. Perjuangan parti dan kerajaan pimpinannya tidak disebut. Juga tidak ada penjelasan berkenaan dengan masalah seperti 1MDB dan wang sebanyak 2.6 billion Ringgit yang terdapat dalam akaunnya di Arab Malaysian Bank yang perwakilan ingin tahu supaya mereka dapat terangkan kepada ahli-ahli lain dan orang ramai.

4. Ekonomi negara yang merosot, kejatuhan nilai Ringgit dan kesannya terhadap kos sara hidup dan kos import tidak diulas dan tidak ada cadangan bagaimana menangani masalah-masalah ini. Masalah yang disebabkan oleh GST juga tidak disentuh, hanya bagaimana kewangan Kerajaan diselamatkan oleh cukai berat yang dibebankan keatas rakyat ini.

5. Dasar pelajaran dan penggunaan bahasa pengantar yang tidak menentu tidak diulas.

6. Yang disentuh dan di tegaskan ialah bantuan Timbalan Presiden, Naib Presiden dan ahli-ahli kepada Presiden.

7. Bantuan yang disebut dalam perlembagaan sebagai peranan Timbalan Presiden dan Naib Presiden ditafsir semata-mata sebagai sokongan kepada Presiden. Sebenarnya bantu bermakna tolong. Dalam Bahasa Inggeris ia bermakna “assist” atau “help”. “Assistance” dan “help” bermaksud memberi pendapat dan nasihat berkenaan dasar dan tindakan yang dicadang oleh Presiden. Jika Presiden lemah, atau uzur maka Timbalan Presiden dan Naib Presiden perlu bantu. Jika Presiden salah, anggota lain perlu tolong betulkan.

8. Tetapi Presiden hanya menafsir bantu sebagai sokong. Demikian disebut dalam ucapan “kesetiaan dan ketaatan kepada pucuk pimpinan “sebagai dipanggil kita datang, disuruh pergi kita pulang – Begitulah luhurnya prinsip kesetiaan dan ketaatan.” Itulah sahaja yang dikehendaki oleh Presiden.

9. Semua anggota parti di semua peringkat tidak perlu fikir, tidak perlu memberi apa-apa sumbangan tetapi apabila disuruh datang, datang disuruh pergi, pergi. Apabila Presiden suruh jahanamkan parti pun jahanamkan. Jangan soal, jangan tegur dan jangan bantah. Inilah dasar dan kehendak Presiden Parti.

10. Jika tidak patuh kepada arahan Presiden atau menuding jari kepada kesalahan Presiden maka tindakan diambil untuk menggantung atau menyingkir dari parti.

11. Ugutan dibuat untuk polis memanggil untuk disoal dan dituduh .

12. Saya bukan sahaja di soal oleh polis tetapi sekatan yang dibuat terhadap saya lebih teruk daripada pemimpin parti lawan.

13. Semua dewan ditutup bagi saya sehingga saya tidak dapat bertemu dan bercakap dengan orang UMNO atau orang ramai. Hotel diberi amaran akan tidak diberi bisnes kerajaan jika saya diterima berucap dalam dewan-dewan mereka.

14. Timbalan Presiden tidak dibenar membuka mesyuarat sayap-sayap UMNO seperti yang sudah jadi tradisi parti. Timbalan Presiden juga dipecat daripada jawatan Timbalan Perdana Menteri. Demikian Shafie Apdal, Naib Presiden juga tidak dibenar bercakap setelah dipecat dari jawatan menteri.

15. Inikah sikap Gentleman yang berjiwa besar. Ia lebih mirip sikap boss yang mengikat tangan musuh supaya ia boleh dibelasah tanpa dibalas. Dahulu mencabar Presiden adalah perkara biasa dan pencabar bebas bercakap dimana sahaja. Tetapi sekarang tidak.

16. Sekarang Zahid sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Dalam Negeri akan berusaha untuk saya disoal lagi oleh polis kerana ucapan-ucapan dan tulisan saya dalam blog. Di bawah undang-undang apakah yang saya hendak disoal. Menegur Presiden Parti atau Perdana Menteri bahkan mendesak supaya PM letak jawatan tidak salah dalam negara demokratik. Kenapa daripada ribuan rakyat yang meminta Najib undur (sepanduk oleh penonton bola sepak Kedah VS Selangor yang menyuruh Najib letak jawatan) saya sahaja yang hendak disoal oleh polis. Prinsip keadilan berkehendak undang-undang dikuatkuasakan kepada semua orang tanpa diskriminasi.

17. Kerana dilarang, wakil-wakil UMNO di PAU tidak dapat bertanya berkenaan 1MDB dan duit yang ada dalam akaun Najib yang kononnya untuk UMNO. Duit dalam Arab-Malaysian Bank sebanyak 2.6 billion Ringgit telah dipindah ke Singapura. UMNO berhak mendapat laporan akan kedudukan duit ini. Dahulu pun derma pernah diserah kepada Presiden UMNO dan dimasukkan dalam tabung UMNO yang diletak di bawah jagaan pemegang amanah (trustee) UMNO. Duit ini diserah kepada Presiden baru UMNO apabila kepimpinan ditukar, sebagai milik UMNO dan bukan milik Presiden. Kenapakah UMNO tidak dimaklum dan 2.6 billion tidak diserah kepadanya apabila Najib mendakwa duit ini bukan untuknya tetapi untuk UMNO. Tidak menyerah adalah suatu kesalahan.

18. Lagipun bukti perlu dibuat berkenaan dengan cukai pendapatan yang dibayar semasa duit ada dalam akaun peribadi Najib. Ini juga sebahagian dari undang-undang Negara. Arab-Malaysian Bank didenda 50 juta Ringgit kerana kesalahan tertentu tetapi Najib sebagai pemilik wang yang banyak tidak dikena apa-apa bayaran setakat yang di ketahui. Dimanakah disebut bahawa Perdana Menteri kebal dari mematuhi undang-undang Negara.

19. Sesungguhnya ucapan Presiden UMNO dalam Persidangan Agong UMNO amat mengecewakan.

20. Ada pihak yang tidak faham sama sekali isu yang dihadapi oleh parti. Mereka memikir ini masalah perhubungan antara Presiden dengan Timbalan Presiden. Oleh itu jika bersalam-salam maka selesailah masalah.

21. Ini bukan masalah perhubungan atau persahabatan. Ini adalah isu salahlaku Presiden yang boleh menyebabkan parti kalah dalam pilihanraya.

22. Pilihan bagi parti ialah samada Presiden menjelaskan dimana duit yang hilang berada dan dikembalikannya kepada UMNO atau kerajaan atau Presiden letak jawatan.

23. Tetapi Presiden pilih untuk menghalang siasatan terhadap kehilangan berbillion Ringgit duit Kerajaan. Menggantinya dengan siasatan oleh orang yang tidak dipercayai oleh masyarakat tidak akan menghilangkan keraguan rakyat. Berkata bahawa siasatan sedang dijalan dan dia menjadi sub-judice dan tidak boleh dibincang tidak akan diterima sebagai benar oleh rakyat. Ia bukan sedang dibicara dalam mahkamah dan berbincang berkenaannya tidak menjadi sub-judice. Sudah tentu jika Presiden menjelas berkenaan wang 2.6 billion dan 1MDB, ia tidak menyalahi undang-undang. Tidak menjelas bermakna tuduhan adalah berasas. Dan sekali lagi parti akan menerima padahnya pada PRU 14.

24. Dakwaan oleh Presiden yang ianya akan “bermati-matian memimpin perjuangan yang mulia bagi membela orang Melayu dan Bumiputra” juga tidak dapat diterima kerana Najib menghapuskan Dasar Ekonomi Baru dan ia menekan kontraktor Melayu sehingga terpaksa gulung tikar. Biasiswa bagi penuntut Melayu dikurangkan.

25. Semua ini lebih mengecewakan orang Melayu, ahli UMNO sehingga mereka bersorak apabila Najib diminta letak jawatan.

26. Jika Najib letak jawatan ia akan disambut baik dan barulah benar ia seorang Gentleman yang berjiwa besar.

ENG VERSION

UMNO PRESIDENT’S SPEECH

1. The speech by the President of UMNO at the UMNO General Assembly 2015 is very disappointing. It was focused on and limited to only defending himself.

2. The President claimed that he is a gentleman, magnanimous, courageous, not timid and would not relent.

3. The struggle of the party and his government were not mentioned. Nor were there any explanation on issues such as 1MDB and the sum of 2.6 billion Ringgit in his account at Arab Malaysian Bank which representatives want to know so they can explain to other members and the public.

4. The nation’s economy has deteriorated, the depreciation of the Ringgit and their impact on the cost of living and the cost of imports was not commented upon and there were no suggestions as to how to deal with these problems. Problems caused by GST were also not be touched upon, just how the government was saved by the heavy taxes imposed on the people.

5. Education policy and uncertainty on use of the medium of instruction were not discussed.

6. What was touched upon and stressed is the assistance by Deputy President, Vice Presidents and members for the President.

7. The assistance referred to in the constitution as the role of Deputy President and Vice Presidents was construed solely as support for the President. In English assistance actually means “assist” or “help”. “Assistance” and “help” means to give opinions and advice on policies and actions proposed by the President. If the President is weak, or sickly, then the Deputy President and the Vice-Presidents should help. If the president is wrong, other members need to correct.

8. But the President only interpret assistance as support. Thus, it was mentioned in a speech of “loyalty and obedience to the leadership” that “when we are called we come, when we are told to go we go” – That is how noble the principle of loyalty and obedience is. That is all that is required by the President.

9. All members of the party at all levels do not have to think, need not make any contribution but when asked to come you come, and asked to go you go. When the President asked that the Party be destroyed, then destroy it. Do not ask, do not criticize and do not disagree. This is the policy and the will of the President of the Party.

10. If you do not obey the instructions of the President or point a finger at errors of the President then action is taken to suspend or expel from the party.

11. Threats are made for the police to summon for questioning and be accused.

12. I am not only being questioned by the police but sanctions made against me are worse than against leaders of the opposition.

13. All halls are closed for me so I do not get to meet and talk with UMNO members or the public. Hotels are warned they will not be given government business if I were allowed to speak in their function rooms.

14. The Deputy President was not allowed to open the meeting of wings of UMNO as has been the Party’s tradition. The Deputy President was also dismissed from the post of Deputy Prime Minister. Thus Shafie Afdal, the Vice-President was also not allowed to speak after being sacked from the post of minister.

15. Is this the attitude of a gentleman who is magnanimous? It is more inclined to an attitude of a boss that ties the hands of the enemy so that they can be beaten without retaliation. Formerly, challenging the President is a common thing and challengers are free to speak anywhere. But not now.

16. Now Zahid as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Home Affairs is striving so that I am again questioned by the police for speeches and writings in my blog. Under what law am I being questioned? Criticizing Party President or Prime Minister, even calling for PM to resign is not wrong in a democratic country. Why from the thousands of people who ask Najib to step down (banners by football spectators at Kedah vs Selangor who want Najib to resign) am I the only one to be questioned by police. The principle of justice demands that the law be enforced on all people without discrimination.

17. Because they are prohibited, representatives of UMNO in the General Assembly cannot ask about 1MDB and the money supposedly for UMNO in Najib’s account. The sum of RM2.6 billion in Arab-Malaysian Bank has been moved to Singapore. UMNO have the right to get a report on the position of this money. Even previously, donation had been handed over to the President of UMNO and deposited into an account of UMNO which is placed under the care of UMNO trustee. This money is handed over to the new President of UMNO when there is leadership change, as UMNO-owned and not owned by the President. Why is UMNO not notified and 2.6 billion not handed over to it when Najib claimed that the money was not for him but for the party? Not handing over is an offence.

18. Furthermore, evidence are required to be shown in respect of income tax paid when money is in the personal account of Najib. This is also part of the law of the country. Arab-Malaysian Bank was fined 50 million Ringgit for specific offenses but Najib as the owner of a big sum of money is not imposed any payment, as far as is known. Where is it mentioned that the Prime Minister is immune to the laws of the country.

19. Indeed, the President’s speech in UMNO’s General Assembly was very disappointing.

20. There are those who do not understand at all the issues facing the party. They thought this is the problem of relationship between the President and Deputy President. Therefore, just some cordial hand shakes will solve the problem.

21. This is not about relationship or friendship. This is an issue of misconduct of the President that can lead to the party being defeated in the election.

22. The option for the party is for the President to explain the whereabouts of the missing money and return it to UMNO or the government or the President resigns.

23. But the President chose to block an investigation into the loss of billions of Ringgit of government money. Replacing it with the investigation by a person who is not trusted by society will not eliminate people’s doubts. Saying that investigation is ongoing and it will be sub-judice and cannot be discussed will not be accepted as true by people. It is not being heard in court and talking about it is not sub-judice. Of course if the President clarifies the issue about the RM2.6 billion money and 1MDB it is not illegal. By not clarifying means the allegations have a basis. And once again the party will pay the price in the GE 14.

24. The claim by the President that it will be “leading the glorious fight to death to defend the Malays and Bumiputras” also cannot be accepted because Najib abolished the New Economic Policy and suppressed Malay contractors until they are forced to fold up. Scholarships for Malay students are reduced.

25. All these disappointed the Malays, so much so UMNO members applauded when Najib was asked to resign.

26. If Najib resigns it will be well received and only then will he be a magnanimous gentleman.

TAKLIMAT NAJIB

1.​Najib mendakwa bahawa sebabnya saya tidak sokongnya ialah kerana saya tidak dapat apa yang saya minta.

2.​Bagi diri saya tidak ada apa pun yang saya minta. Tawaran Kerajaan untuk memberi percuma tanah di Putrajaya diwaktu saya letak jawatan, seperti kepada bekas Perdana Menteri yang lain, pun saya tolak. Saya minta untuk membeli tanah di Putrajaya dan saya bayar satu juta untuk sekeping. Duit ini dari tabung simpanan saya selama 29 tahun dalam Kerajaan. Tak hutang.

3.​Hadiah yang diberi kepada saya semasa dalam Kerajaan saya pulangkan balik kepada Kerajaan. Semua boleh dilihat di Galeria Langkawi dan kediaman PM lama di Jalan Terengganu, off Jalan Damansara.

4.​Yang saya minta dari Najib ialah untuk negara dan untuk rakyat. Semuanya ditolak tetapi dalam PRU13 saya masih sokong Najib. Walaupun saya menyatakan Najib harus berhenti jika pencapaiannya dalam PRU 13 lebih buruk dari Abdullah dalam PRU 12, setelah kemenangannya dalam PRU 13 lebih buruk dari Abdullah saya masih terus menyokongnya sebagai Perdana Menteri.

5.​Hanya apabila rahsia hutang dan kerugian 1MDB terbongkar barulah saya tarik sokongan saya daripada Najib.

6.​Kalau kerana jambatan tidak dibina, sudah lama saya berhenti dari menyokongnya. Kalau kerana landasan berkembar elektrik tidak dibina dari Johor Bahru ke Padang Besar, sudah lama saya hentikan sokongan saya kepada Najib. Bukan kerana tidak layan permintaan saya untuk negara pun yang saya tarik sokongan saya dari Najib.

7.​Najib biasa datang jumpa saya untuk bertanya apa yang saya hendak. Saya fikir ia ikhlas dan saya pun sebut beberapa projek pembangunan untuk negara. Kemudian saya sedar ia sedang mencuba sogok saya dengan cara ini supaya saya tidak bangkit soal 1MDB.

8.​Tetapi kehilangan wang Kerajaan terlalu besar. Hanya kerana melayan saya tidak boleh dijadikan alasan bagi saya pejam mata berkenaan kehilangan duit Kerajaan berbillion-billion. Oleh itu saya teruskan juga membangkitkan soal 1MDB. Apatah lagi apabila 2.6 billion Ringgit tiba-tiba didapati ada dalam akaun persendirian Najib.

9.​Tidak pernah dalam sejarah Malaysia merdeka, Perdana Menteri Malaysia memiliki sebegitu banyak duit. Untuk apa tujuan pun Perdana Menteri Malaysia tidak harus memiliki 2.6 billion Ringgit.

10.​Yang jelas ialah tanpa duit yang begitu banyak, BN dan UMNO telah menang dengan berkali lebih baik dari Najib dalam PRU 13. Bukan wang yang boleh beri kemenangan. Khidmat pada rakyat dan keikhlasan niat yang memberi kemenangan bagi parti.

11. Kononnya duit ini diderma oleh penderma-penderma yang tidak suka dikenali. Mereka pula tidak sanggup memberi terus kepada UMNO tetapi sebagai “pemimpin” mereka sanggup beri hanya kepada Najib sebagai pemimpin untuk disimpan olehnya dalam akaun peribadi. Ini tidak masuk akal sama sekali melainkan ada niat untuk tidak menjelas dari mana duit itu datang, menyembunyi perbelanjaan.

12.​Tuduhan dibuat bahawa Bank Negara tahu. Apa buktinya Bank Negara tahu. Kenapa laporan dari Bank Negara ditolak oleh AG. Apakah AG tidak percaya kepada Bank Negara sedangkan kita dikehendaki percaya Bank Negara berkenaan sesuatu yang hanya disebut oleh Najib, tidak oleh Bank Negara.

13.​Adakah lebih meyakinkan jika laporan Bank Negara didedah daripada hanya Najib berkata Bank Negara tahu. Wang 50 million dan lebih yang dimasuk dalam mana-mana bank mesti mendapat kelulusan Bank Negara. Tunjuk sahaja bukti kelulusan Bank Negara berkenaan RM2.6 billion dan Najib akan dipercayai.

14.​Percubaan memburukkan nama saya dengan berkata saya juga menyebabkan wang Kerajaan hilang kerana tindakan dan pelaburan yang merugikan. Najib sendiri mengaku bahawa dalam perniagaan adakala untung adakala rugi. Yang utama ialah segala yang dilakukan ditulis dalam akaun yang telus dan terbuka. Dan segala urusan dibuat oleh pengawai Kerajaan yang bertanggungjawab. Saya tidak terlibat dengan pengurusan terutama pengurusan modal wang. Tugas saya tamat dengan melulus pelaburan. Saya tidak menjadi pengurus atau penasihat eksekutif.

15.​Sebaliknya Najib menubuh 1MDB yang dibiayai sebanyak 1 juta sahaja oleh Kerajaan. Najib juga menjadi Penasihat kepada 1MDB.

16.​1MDB hutang RM42 billion Ringgit iaitu 42,000 kali ganda lebih besar dari modal. Wang ini dipinjam dengan faedah yang amat tinggi dan komisyen kepada Golden Sachs berjumlah 10%.

17.​Wang ini diguna untuk beli stesen janakuasa yang usang dan hampir tamat lesen dengan harga lebih tinggi dari harga pasaran. Hutang sebanyak RM 8 billion diambil alih menjadi jumlah hutang RM50 billion.

18.​Stesyen digabung menjadi Edra. Tetapi pulangan begitu rendah sehingga tidak dapat bayar faedah dan terpaksa dijual. Ia tidak boleh disenarai kerana akaunnya tidak dapat disah oleh juruaudit. Ia terpaksa dijual kepada syarikat negara Cina kerana TNB tidak dapat bayar harga yang boleh selesaikan hutang sebanyak RM 18 billion.

19.​Baki hutang diguna untuk beli tanah Kerajaan dengan harga yang amat murah iaitu RM 60 skp sedangkan tanah berdekatan dijual dengan harga RM7000 skp. Harga belian tanah lapangan terbang tidak disebut.

20.​Tanah yang diduduki oleh setinggan di Pulau Pinang dibeli dengan harga yang amat tinggi. Sukar untuk dibangun.

21.​Percubaan dibuat untuk jual tanah Jalan Tun Razak yang dibeli dengan harga RM60 skp dari Kerajaan, kepada Tabung Haji dengan harga RM3000 skp (50 kali ganda harga beli). Wajarkah Kerajaan rugi sebanyak RM2940 skp. Inikah perniagaan stategik 1MDB?

22.​Apakah saya pernah buat perkara-perkara seperti ini? Buktikan. Jangan tuduh melulu.

23.​Kononnya ekonomi negara tidak teruk.

24.​Hakikatnya nilai Ringgit dan harga saham jatuh dengan teruk. Kos sara hidup meningkat dengan GST, subsidi minyak diturunkan, tol dan tambang dinaikkan dll.

25.​Pendapatan dinaikkan tetapi daya beli turun kerana nilai Ringgit jatuh. Pengangguran bertambah, termasuk dikalangan lulusan universiti. Perniagaan dan industry menghadapi masalah yang tidak dapat diatasi.

26.​Apakah saya yang merosakkan imej negara?

27.​Akhbar dunia telah melaporkan berkenaan Jho Low dan persahabatannya dengan Najib, cara hidupnya dan pembelian rumah mewah, pembiayaan filem Wolf of Wall Street bersama anak tiri Najib jauh lebih awal dari sebutan 1MDB oleh saya. Semua ini yang memburukkan imej negara. Ia menjadi lebih buruk kerana laporan tentang pelaburan 1MDB, dan kemudian wang yang terdapat dalam akaun peribadi Najib sebanyak RM 2.6 billion.

28.​Jika ada sesiapa yang merosakkan imej Negara, ia adalah Dato Sri Najib sendiri. Sebelum ini imej Negara amat baik.

29.​Jika apa yang dituduh Najib lakukan fitnah, Najib harus membuktikan semuanya tidak benar. Bahkan Najib perlu saman malu akhbar-akhbar yang melapor. Walaupun kononnya tindakan akan diambil, tetapi tidak ada apa-apa tindakan selain dari menakutkan sesiapa yang membuat teguran atau melapor kepada polis dengan disoal siasat oleh polis, dimasuk dalam tahanan dan dihadapkan kepada mahkamah. Tidak pernah terjadi dimana-mana bahawa orang yang melapor jenayah kepada polis dituduh mensabotaj demokrasi atau menguling Kerajaan. Juga peguam pihak yang mengadu disoal oleh polis dan dimasuk dalam tahanan.

30.​Orang kampung mungkin tidak kisah. Sebabnya mungkin kerana akhbar tidak dibenar melapor. Tetapi hanya kerana orang kampung tidak ambil kisah, maka perbuatannya curang dan jenayah masih tidak boleh dihalalkan.

1MDB CLARIFIES

1. Thank you for the clarification on issues raised. Because you missed out on many things in your earlier statements, I had to make certain assumptions and ask for clarification.

2. Now may I explain why you are still misleading the readers in my blog and others.

3. You said 1MDB is a strategic investment company. When you sell assets which you acquired at a very low price from the Government and pocket the difference is that what is called strategic investments? Buying business at higher than market price is that what you regard as strategic investment?

4. You are also going to sell 40% of former Government land at Sungai Besi which you acquired at below market price is that strategic investment? Sounds more like selling APs (Approved Permits) which you get free from the Government.

5. Are these how 1MDB makes money through strategic investments?

6. While Edra is sold to a foreign company you try to sell land to local Government linked company which collect funds from the people. So people , pilgrims and Malaysian citizens have to buy 1MDB land, so you can pay your debts. You are in fact forcing citizens to pay your debt with their hard-earned money. Is this also strategic investment?

7. How did you raise RM42 billion? Is it through borrowing? How much of that is borrowed in Malaysian Ringgit? Show documentary evidence and the banks you borrowed from. If you are paying them back in Ringgit, the devalued Ringgit will not be of the same value as the Ringgit you borrowed. Each US Dollar equivalent will be one Ringgit less. The banks will carry this loss. Yes this is strategic investment except when borrowing you did not know the Ringgit would devalue so much.

8. If you borrow in US Dollars, explain how much and from whom. Did you pay 10 per cent commission to Goldman Sachs? In which case you will be paying the 5.9 per cent interest on 100 per cent of the loans but getting only 90 per cent of the total loan. Again show documentary proof. Don’t just say it is not true.

9. If you had borrowed US Dollars, the value of each would have been RM3.2 per dollar. Now you would have to pay back at RM4.2 per dollar. How much dollar investments have you made? Apart from the US2 billion Dollar you say you have earned, you seem to be unable to pay the interest on your loans. Please give documentary proof of your profits, how it was made and from whom. You are not a private company. You are a Government company and any loss you make will be borne by the public. They have a right to know.

10. You say that the MACC had verified that the RM2.6 billion in Najib’s private account did not come from 1MDB. Government departments and personnel are now under pressure. They can be sacked or transferred. A DPP was dismissed.

11. People making reports are being arrested. Their lawyers can be arrested. People living under threats are not reliable when making statements.

12. So we cannot accept the statement by the MACC personnel just like that. We want proof. We want to know how RM2.6 billion in PM’s account is not from 1MDB. We must know where all the RM42 billion are. Your explanations are without proofs.

13. Explaining that you have more assets than the loans you have taken is not enough. Every cent of the money you borrowed must be accounted for. Where is the money from the Caymans? In what form is it? You said you saw it. Is it cash or accounts in bank books. Why did the bank say it doesn’t have the money? Which banks now have the money? Who is entitled to withdraw the money? What transactions have been made. If you say it is a secret, I have a right to say you want to keep the amount and the transactions secret. After all RM2.6 billion was secretly put into the private account of the PM.

14. The rule is that when RM2.6 billion is transacted it must have the approval of the Central Bank. The money had moved in and moved out and resides God knows where. The Central bank must know. Yet report by the Central Bank on, I believe, the movement of the RM2.6 billion has been dismissed by the new Attorney-General.

15. The Prime Minister says it is for UMNO. According to the Societies Act, UMNO must report all financial transactions. There is no evidence that it has done so. It is in breach of the Societies Act. UMNO was declared illegal in my time. The reasons were hardly serious. Now UMNO had not reported and not taken action to recover the money and report to the Registrar of Societies. What does the law say the Registrar should do?

16. It is the norm for an external audit to be done. This is big money. Just saying it is a donation is not enough. Give credible evidence. Government institutions have been stopped from auditing and reporting on 1MDB. There is a deliberate attempt to hide the activities of 1MDB, the 2.6 billion Ringgit in Najib’s personal account, the transactions invoving Petrosaudi, Caymans, Seychelles, Hong Kong, Siwtzerland, the United Kingdom and America.

17. Until the Government allows for proper audit by non-Government auditors, I am entitled to make reasonable assumption and to assume that there is more than just hanky-panky in the transactions of the 1MDB.

VERSI BM

1MDB menjelaskan

1. Terima kasih untuk mendapatkan penjelasan mengenai isu-isu yang dibangkitkan. Kerana anda terlepas banyak perkara dalam kenyataan awal anda, saya terpaksa membuat andaian tertentu dan meminta penjelasan.

2. Sekarang saya boleh menjelaskan mengapa anda masih mengelirukan pembaca di blog saya dan lain-lain.

3. Anda berkata 1MDB ialah syarikat pelaburan strategik. Apabila anda menjual aset mana anda mendapatkannya pada harga yang sangat rendah daripada Kerajaan dan poket perbezaan adalah bahawa apa yang dipanggil pelaburan strategik? Membeli perniagaan di lebih tinggi daripada harga pasaran adalah bahawa apa yang anda anggap sebagai pelaburan strategik?

4. Anda juga akan menjual 40% daripada bekas tanah Kerajaan di Sungai Besi mana anda mendapatkannya di bawah harga pasaran ialah pelaburan strategik? Bunyi seperti menjual AP (Permit Import) yang anda dapat percuma daripada kerajaan.

5. Adakah ini bagaimana 1MDB membuat wang melalui pelaburan strategik?

6. Walaupun Edra dijual kepada sebuah syarikat asing yang cuba untuk menjual tanah kepada syarikat berkaitan kerajaan tempatan yang mengumpul dana daripada rakyat. Jadi orang-orang, jemaah dan rakyat Malaysia perlu membeli tanah 1MDB, supaya anda boleh membayar hutang anda. Anda sebenarnya memaksa rakyat untuk membayar hutang anda dengan wang hasil titik peluh mereka. Adalah pelaburan juga strategik ini?

7. Bagaimanakah anda meningkatkan RM42 bilion? Adakah ia melalui pinjaman? Berapa banyak yang dipinjam dalam Ringgit Malaysia? Menunjukkan bukti dokumentari dan bank-bank yang dipinjam daripada. Jika anda membayar mereka kembali dalam Ringgit, Ringgit menurunkan nilai tidak akan mempunyai nilai yang sama dengan Ringgit anda dipinjam. Setiap bersamaan US Dollar akan menjadi salah satu Ringgit kurang. Bank-bank akan membawa kerugian ini. Ya ini adalah pelaburan strategik kecuali apabila pinjaman yang anda tidak tahu Ringgit akan menurunkan nilai begitu banyak.

8. Jika anda meminjam dalam dolar Amerika Syarikat, terangkan berapa banyak dan dari siapa. Adakah anda membayar 10 setiap komisen peratus kepada Goldman Sachs? Di mana anda akan membayar faedah sebanyak 5.9 peratus pada 100 peratus daripada pinjaman tetapi mendapat hanya 90 peratus daripada jumlah pinjaman. Sekali lagi menunjukkan bukti dokumentari. Jangan hanya mengatakan ia tidak benar.

9. Jika anda telah meminjam Dolar AS, nilai setiap akan menjadi RM3.2 setiap dolar. Sekarang anda perlu membayar kembali pada RM4.2 setiap dolar. Berapa banyak pelaburan dolar telah anda buat? Selain Dolar USD2 billion anda mengatakan anda telah lakukan, anda seolah-olah tidak dapat membayar faedah ke atas pinjaman anda. Sila berikan bukti dokumentari keuntungan anda, bagaimana ia dibuat dan dari siapa. Anda bukan sebuah syarikat swasta. Anda di syarikat Kerajaan dan apa-apa kerugian yang anda buat akan ditanggung oleh orang ramai. Mereka mempunyai hak untuk mengetahui.

10. Anda mengatakan bahawa SPRM telah mengesahkan bahawa RM2.6 bilion dalam akaun peribadi Najib tidak datang dari 1MDB. Jabatan dan kakitangan kerajaan kini di bawah tekanan. Mereka boleh dipecat atau dipindahkan. A DPP ditolak.

11. Orang yang membuat laporan yang sedang ditahan. Peguam mereka boleh ditangkap. Orang yang tinggal di bawah ancaman tidak boleh dipercayai apabila membuat kenyataan.

12. Oleh itu, kita tidak boleh menerima kenyataan oleh pegawai SPRM sahaja. Kami mahu bukti. Kami ingin tahu bagaimana RM2.6 bilion dalam akaun PM bukan dari 1MDB. Kita mesti tahu di mana semua RM42 bilion berada. Penjelasan anda adalah tanpa bukti.

13. Menjelaskan bahawa anda mempunyai lebih banyak aset daripada pinjaman yang telah anda ambil tidak mencukupi. Setiap sen wang yang anda dipinjam mesti diambil kira. Di mana wang itu dari Caymans? Dalam bentuk apa ia? Anda berkata anda melihatnya. Adakah tunai atau akaun-akaun dalam buku bank. Mengapa bank mengatakan ia tidak mempunyai wang? Bank-bank kini mempunyai wang? Yang berhak untuk menarik balik wang itu? Apa transaksi telah dibuat. Jika anda mengatakan bahawa ini adalah rahsia, saya mempunyai hak untuk mengatakan anda mahu menyimpan jumlah dan rahsia urus niaga. Lagipun RM2.6 bilion telah diam-diam dimasukkan ke dalam akaun peribadi PM.

14. Peraturan ini adalah bahawa apabila RM2.6 bilion diurusniagakan ia mesti mempunyai kelulusan Bank Negara Malaysia. Wang yang telah bergerak dalam dan berpindah dan menetap Tuhan tahu di mana. Bank pusat perlu tahu. Namun laporan oleh Bank Negara, saya percaya, pergerakan RM2.6 bilion telah ditolak oleh Peguam Negara yang baru.

15. Perdana Menteri berkata ia adalah untuk UMNO. Menurut Akta Pertubuhan, UMNO mesti melaporkan semua urus niaga kewangan. Tidak ada bukti bahawa ia telah berbuat demikian. Ia melanggar Akta Pertubuhan. UMNO telah diharamkan pada masa saya. Ini sebab-sebab yang tidak serius. Sekarang UMNO tidak dilaporkan dan tidak mengambil tindakan untuk mendapatkan semula wang itu dan membuat laporan kepada Pendaftar Pertubuhan. Apakah undang-undang mengatakan Pendaftar perlu lakukan?

16. Ia adalah perkara biasa bagi audit luar yang perlu dilakukan. Ini adalah wang yang besar. Hanya mengatakan ia adalah sumbangan tidak mencukupi. Memberikan keterangan yang boleh dipercayai. Institusi kerajaan telah dihalang daripada pengauditan dan melaporkan mengenai 1MDB. Terdapat satu percubaan yang sengaja untuk menyembunyikan aktiviti 1MDB, 2.6 bilion ringgit dalam akaun peribadi Najib, transaksi invoving PetroSaudi, Caymans, Seychelles, Hong Kong, Siwtzerland, United Kingdom dan Amerika.

17. Hingga Kerajaan membenarkan audit wajar oleh juruaudit bukan Kerajaan, saya berhak untuk membuat andaian yang munasabah dan untuk menganggap bahawa terdapat lebih daripada sekadar hanky panky masuk transaksi 1MDB.

SURAT KEPADA AHLI DAN PEMIMPIN UMNO AKAR UMBI

1. Negara Malaysia tercinta ini adalah hasil perjuangan UMNO sebagai sebuah parti, bukan oleh sesiapa atau seseorang.

2. Sebab itu apabila Dato Onn Jaafar, Pengasas dan Yang diPertua Parti yang pertama, membuat cadangan yang bertentangan dengan pejuangan parti, cadangannya di tolak dan dianya keluar dari parti.

3. Hari ini kita dapati UMNO sudah jadi milik Presiden dan perjuangan UMNO terhad kepada mendokong Presiden. Kesetiaan ahli terhad kepada Presiden, tidak lagi kepada parti, tidak lagi kepada bangsa, agama dan negara.

4. Ini ternampak jelas apabila slogan Satu Malaysia yang sama dengan Malaysian Malaysia diperkenal, penjajah dahulu dilantik sebagai penasihat, penggunaan konsultan Barat. Penubuhan Pemandu untuk mengganti Unit Perancang Ekonomi, bayaran gaji kepada badan bukan Kerajaan yang amat tinggi, meletak negara dibawah kehendak Singapura, meminjam berbillion Ringgit yang dilabur sebahagian besar di luar negera, menubuh 1MDB dengan modal pinjaman yang besar, tidak dapat membukti dimana modal yang dilabur berada, gagal membayar faedah hutang, membeli tanah Kerajaan dengan harga yang amat murah, menjual tanah ini kepada institusi Kerajaan dengan harga 50 kali ganda lebih tinggi, wang Tabung Haji diguna secara yang sama, keuntungan yang berlebihan ini diguna untuk menampung kerugian 1MDB, 2.6 billion Ringgit tiba-tiba berada dalam akaun peribadi Najib, kononnya derma dari orang Arab, siasatan oleh Badan Pencegah Rasuah dan Bank Negara ditamat oleh Najib sebelum tindakan dapat diambil, Pendakwa Raya dibuang, PAC dibubar supaya tidak dapat menyiasat 1MDB, cara hidup mewah lebih dari kemampuan Perdana Menteri, gaji minima dinaik sehingga kilang-kilang berpindah ke negara lain dan pekerja hilang pekerjaan, kejatuhan mata wang dan nilai saham yang teruk, cukai GST dikenakan sehingga peniaga kecil terpaksa tutup kedai, kos sara hidup meningkat, beban bagi rakyat bertambah, sesiapa yang menegur disoal oleh polis, dituduh sabotaj bank dan kewangan negara dan dimasuk dalam tahanan dibawah undang-undang yang salah.

5. Besar kemungkinan parti akan kalah dalam PRU 14 seperti di Selangor dan Pulau Pinang. BN dan UMNO akan menjadi parti pembangkang. Sebagai pembangkang tidak akan ada apa-apa yang boleh dibuat oleh UMNO untuk bangsa, negara dan agama.

6. Menyokong Najib mungkin memberi nikmat kepada orang tertentu hari ini. Tetapi apabila BN kalah nikmat semua akan hilang.

7. Sebaliknya jika Najib berhenti dari menjadi Presiden UMNO dan Perdana Menteri, besar kemungkinan UMNO akan pulih semula dan BN akan menang PRU 14. Dengan itu bangsa, negara dan agama akan lebih selamat. Negara akan maju semula dan semua rakyat akan dapat nikmat.

8. Wahai ahli dan pemimpin UMNO diakar umbi. Fikirlah baik-baik. Jangan sokong dan setia secara buta tuli, atau kerana dapat nikmat hari ini. Bangsa kita akan kutuk kita jika nasib bangsa menjadi buruk kerana kita tamak dan lupakan perjuangan UMNO. Dan segala nikmat yang kita dapati akan musnah, bahkan Kerajaan parti lawan akan bertindak keatas kesalahan mereka semasa memerintah.

9. Semua ini memburukkan nama Malaysia dan merugikan rakyat.

10. Wahai ahli dan pemimpin UMNO diperingkat akar umbi.

11. Jika ingin selamat dan menang tolaklah kepimpinan DSN sebelum PRU14.

12. Tolaklah kepimpinannya sebelum PRU14 supaya UMNO selamat dan mampu memenangi PRU dan kekal sebagai Kerajaan yang adil kepada semua.

13. Saya menulis dalam blog saya kerana sekatan yang ketat diadakan supaya saya tidak dapat berjumpa dan bercakap dengan ahli UMNO dan orang awam. Jentera yang diguna yang terdiri dari badan-badan Kerajaan dan parti amatlah berkesan. Dengan sendirinya ini menjadi bukti kesalahan-kesalahan sedang dilakukan.

ENG VERSION

LETTER TO MEMBERS AND UMNO GRASSROOT LEADERS

1. Malaysia, my beloved country, is a result of the struggle of UMNO as a party, not by anyone or someone.

2. Therefore, when Dato Onn Jaafar, the founder and the first President of the Party, made proposals contrary to party struggle, his proposals were rejected and he quited the party.

3. Today we find that UMNO is owned by the President and the struggle of UMNO is limited to supporting the President. Loyalty of members is limited to the President, no more to the party, much less to race, religion and nation.

4. This became clear when the slogan 1-Malaysia which is similar to Malaysian Malaysia is introduced, previous colonizer appointed as advisors, use of Western consultants, the establishment of Pemandu to replace the Economic Planning Unit, the payment of high salaries to non-governmental organizations, putting the country at the behest of Singapore, borrowing billions of Ringgit most of which are invested overseas, establishing 1MDB with large borrowed capital, not being able to show proof where the capital investment is located, failure to pay interest on the debts, purchasing Government land at a very low price, selling these land to Government institutions at a price 50 times higher, Pilgrims Fund Board money similarly used, these excessive profits are used to cover losses of 1MDB, 2.6 billion Ringgit suddenly appearing in Najib’s personal account, the so-called donations from Arabs, investigations by the Anti-Corruption Agency and Bank Negara terminated by Najib before action can be taken, the public prosecutor dismissed, the PAC dissolved so that it cannot investigate 1MDB, luxurious lifestyle beyond means of a Prime Minister, raising the minimum wage so much so factories relocate to other countries and workers lose their jobs, big fall in the value of the currency and stock value, imposing GST resulting in small businesses being forced to close shop, increase in the cost of living, thereby increasing the burden of the people, those who make comments are questioned by police, accused of sabotaging banks and the country’s finance and putting in custody under a law that is wrong.

5. There is a big possibility that the party would lose in the 14th General Election just as like Selangor and Penang. BN and UMNO will become an opposition party. As an opposition party that is not much that can be done by UMNO for race, nation and religion.

6. Support for Najib may earn favours for specific people today. But when the BN loses all favours will be lost.

7. On the other hand, if Najib were to resign from being the UMNO President and Prime Minister, most likely UMNO will recover and BN will win the GE 14. With this, race, nation and religion will be more secure. The nation will move forward again and all people will be blessed.

8. O members and UMNO grassroot leaders. Think carefully. Do not support and be blindly faithful for favours you gain today. Our race will curse us if the fate of the race becomes worse because we are greedy and forget UMNO’s struggle. And all the blessings that we got will be destroyed, in fact the Government of the opposition party will be acting on your mistakes when they rule.

9. All these will discredit Malaysia and harm its citizens.

10. O members and UMNO grassroot leaders.

11. If you want to be safe and win reject the leadership of DSN before GE14.

12. Reject his leadership prior to the GE14 so that UMNO is safe and be able to win the election and remain as a Government that is fair to all.

13. I write in my blog because strict restrictions are in place so that I could not meet and talk with members of UMNO and the public. Machinery being used, consisting of Government bodies and the party is very efficient. It by itself is proof of offenses being committed.

1MDB EXITS POWER BUSINESS

1. It is reported that 1MDB would reduce between RM16 bil to RM18 bil of its debts after selling “Edra”.

2. I am trying to work out how the savings are achieved.

3. 1MDB bought the power plants together with debts of RM6 bil for RM 18 billion Ringgit. CGN pays RM 9.83 billion for 100% of the energy assets.

4. It should be noted that at the time 1MDB purchased the power plants, the Ringgit was at 3.2 per US Dollar. It is now at 4.2 Ringgit per US Dollar. In US dollar terms the 9.83 billion Ringgit paid by the Chinese Company is worth much less than the 9.83 billion Ringgit paid by 1MDB.

5. If the money borrowed by 1MDB is in Ringgit the loss would be minimal. But if 1MDB had borrowed in USD, it stands to lose 1 Ringgit for every dollar borrowed. In other word what 1MDB gets from the sale would not be able to pay fully the debts in USD raised by 1MDB.

6. CGN is reported to have bought 100% of the energy assets of 1MDB. Does the debt of the power plants totalling 6 billion Ringgit which 1MDB had assumed also regarded as the assets which have been sold to CGN.

7. Then there are other questions which needs clarification. e.g will Petronas be selling gas to the power plants? If so at what price.

8. Having sold Edra for RM9.83 billion, how does this reduce 1MDB debts by RM16-RM18 billion. Again considering the depreciation of the Ringgit, how will the debts in USD be reduced?

9. Is the purchase of the power plants by foreign buyers a form of foreign direct investments? The money brought in would go out to pay foreign debts. And the amount going out would be far more than the inflow. Does not sound like FDI to me.

10. Will the Government allow the full repatriation of the profits of these plants in Malaysia. It should be noted that China has a rule in which repatriation is to be in the form of export of Chinese products and not cash.

11. How much control will the Government have over a foreign-owned utility? Price fixing which may cause a loss to the company may result in subsidy by the Government.

VERSI BM

1MDB KELUAR DARI PERNIAGAAN POWER

1. Telah dilaporkan bahawa 1MDB akan mengurangkan antara RM16 bilion hingga RM18 bilion hutangnya selepas menjual “Edra”.

2. Saya cuba menghitung bagaimana penjimatan ini boleh dicapai.

3. 1MDB membeli loji-loji janakuasa bersama dengan hutangnya sejumlah RM6 bilion dengan harga RM18 bilion. CGN membayar RM9.83 bilion untuk 100% aset tenaga itu.

4. Perlu diambil perhatian bahawa pada masa 1MDB membeli loji-loji janakuasa tersebut, Ringgit berada pada paras 3.2 bagi satu dolar Amerika. Kini ia berada pada paras 4.2 Ringgit bagi satu dolar Amerika. Dihitung dari segi dolar Amerika, 9.83 bilion Ringgit yang dibayar oleh Syarikat Cina adalah bernilai lebih rendah daripada 9.83 bilion Ringgit yang dibayar oleh 1MDB.

5. Jika wang yang dipinjam oleh 1MDB adalah dalam Ringgit kerugian itu adalah minimum. Tetapi jika 1MDB telah meminjam dalam USD, ia menghadapi kehilangan 1 Ringgit bagi setiap dolar yang dipinjam. Dengan kata lain apa yang 1MDB memperolehi daripada jualan itu tidak akan dapat membayar sepenuhnya hutang dalam bentuk USD yang dipinjam oleh 1MDB.

6. CGN dilaporkan telah membeli 100% daripada aset tenaga 1MDB. Adakah hutang loji janakuasa berjumlah 6 bilion Ringgit yang 1MDB telah mengambilalih itu juga dianggap sebagai aset yang telah dijual kepada CGN?

7. Seterusnya ada soalan-soalan lain yang memerlukan penjelasan, contohnya adakah Petronas akan menjual gas kepada loji kuasa tersebut? Jika demikian pada paras harga yang apa?

8. Setelah Edra dijual dengan harga RM9.83 bilion, bagaimana ini dapat mengurangkan hutang 1MDB sebanyak RM16-RM18 bilion. Sekali lagi dengan mengambil kira kejatuhan nilai Ringgit, bagaimana hutang dalam USD boleh dikurangkan?

9. Adakah pembelian loji janakuasa oleh pembeli asing satu bentuk pelaburan langsung asing (FDI). Wang yang dibawa masuk akan keluar untuk membayar hutang asing. Dan jumlah wang yang keluar adalah jauh lebih besar daripada aliran masuk. Bagi saya ini bukan macam FDI.

10. Adakah Kerajaan akan membenarkan penghantaran balik penuh keuntungan yang diperolehi dari loji-loji di Malaysia. Perlu diingatkan bahawa Cina mempunyai peraturan di mana penghantaran balik keuntungan adalah dalam bentuk eksport produk Cina dan bukan wang tunai.

11. Berapa banyak kawalan Kerajaan akan kenakan atas utiliti yang dimiliki asing? Penetapan harga yang boleh menyebabkan kerugian kepada syarikat itu boleh menyebabkan Kerajaan memberi sibsidi.

Menghadapi Cabaran

1.​ Dalam kehidupan manusia, menghadapi cabaran adalah perkara biasa. Sudah tentu jika sesiapa mencebur diri dalam bidang politik, lebih banyak cabaran akan dihadapi. Jika ingin terus dalam bidang politik semua cabaran ini mesti diterima. Mereka yang tidak sanggup menghadapi dan mengatasi cabaran adalah lebih baik tinggal sahaja bidang politik.

2.​Semasa saya jadi presiden UMNO dan Perdana Menteri cabaran tidak pernah berhenti. Sudah tentu ada percubaan menjatuhkan saya sebagai presiden UMNO.

3.​Diantara cabaran yang terbesar ialah apabila Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah dicalonkan untuk bertanding jawatan presiden UMNO.

4.​Kita sudah terima sistem demokrasi dalam pemilihan pemimpin. Apa yang dilakukan oleh Tengku Razaleigh adalah sah dalam sistem demokrasi. Tiada apa yang boleh dilakukan oleh saya untuk mengelak dari dicabar olehnya.

5.​Maka Tengku Razaleigh dan ramai penyokong-penyokongnya berkempenlah di seluruh bahagian dan cawangan UMNO di seluruh Malaysia. Mereka bebas bertemu dengan ahli, cawangan dan bahagian-bahagian UMNO.

6.​Kedudukan Tengku Razaleigh sebagai Menteri Perdagangan dalam kerajaan tidak terjejas. Demikian juga ramai menteri-menteri dan pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO yang memihak kepadanya.

7.​Pengundian semasa mesyuarat agong UMNO berjalan dengan baik. Kerana terjatuh pada hari Jumaat, pengundian dihentikan dan kempen dapat diteruskan dikalangan perwakilan oleh penyokong Tengku Razaleigh.

8.​Perkiraan undi dibuat berkali-kali kerana ada yang tidak puas hati dengan keputusan. Hanya pada jam lapan malam barulah keputusan dapat diisytihar.

9.​Saya menang dengan kelebihan hanya 43 undi. Saya terima. Peristiwa yang berlaku selepas itu diketahui umum dan tidak perlu saya ulangi disini.

10.​Pada bulan Disember 2015 ini, Mesyuarat Agong UMNO akan diadakan.

11.​Tidak akan ada apa-apa pertandingan. Tetapi entah kenapa usaha sedang dibuat oleh UMNO supaya perbahasan berkenaan perkara tertentu, khususnya 1MDB dan wang sebanyak 2.6 billion Ringgit dalam akaun peribadi Dato Sri Najib tidak boleh dibangkit.

12.​Persidangan pula akan tertutup kepada orang ramai. Tidak semua dari ucapan perwakilan akan disiar. Hanya ucapan presiden sahaja akan disiar.

13.​Sepatutnya Muhyiddin Yassin, sebagai Timbalan Presiden akan membuka persidangan sayap – Pemuda, Wanita dan Puteri. Amaran sudah diberi supaya ahli UMNO tidak akan bercakap berkenaan perkara ini.

14.​Apakah jenis Mesyuarat Agong UMNO ini?

15.​Saya tidak akan bertanding untuk apa-apa jawatan. Tetapi usaha gigih sedang dijalan untuk menutup mulut saya, untuk menyekat saya dari berjumpa dengan ahli UMNO, bahkan orang ramai. Dewan dimana mesyuarat boleh diadakan yang dihadiri oleh saya tidak boleh didapati kerana semua pemilik takut didera oleh Kerajaan.

16. Ada iklim ketakutan yang menghalang segala kegiatan yang bersangkutan dengan mengkritik Kerajaan. Ia seolah-olah menjadi jenayah yang tidak tertulis. Tetapi dakwaan dibuat kononnya ini Negara demokrasi. Sesiapa yang cuba sabotaj demokrasi Malaysia boleh dikena penjara hingga 15 tahun. Tetapi sebenarnya yang mensabotaj demokrasi Malaysia ialah Kerajaan sendiri.

17. Bermacam jenis tekanan digunakan yang tidak demokratik.

18. Ada yang berhadapan dengan pemeriksaan pendapatan kononnya kerana tidak bayar cukai. Ada yang disoal siasat oleh polis. Ada yang dimasuk dalam tahanan tanpa berasas kepada undang-undang. Ada yang diugut akan kehilangan kontrak dll.

19.​Kata pepatah berani kerana benar; takut kerana salah. Apakah kerana salah yang takut sangat 1MDB dan 2.6 billion ringgit dibincang.

 

ENG VERSION

Facing Challenges

1. In human life, challenges are common. Of course if anyone engages in politics, there are more challenges to be faced. If you want to continue in politics these challenges must be accepted. Those who were not able to face and overcome these challenges it is better to leave the political field.

2. When I became president of UMNO and the Prime Minister challenges never stopped. Of course there were attempts to unseat me as UMNO president.

3. Among the biggest challenges was when Tengku Razaleigh was nominated to run for the presidency of UMNO.

4. We have accepted the democratic system in the selection of leaders. What Tengku Razaleigh did was legitimate in a democratic system. There was nothing I could do to avoid being challenged by him.

5. So Tengku Razaleigh and many of his supporters campaigned at party divisions and branches throughout Malaysia. They were free to meet with members, branches and divisions of UMNO.

6. Tengku Razaleigh’s position as Industry Minister in the government were not affected. Likewise, many ministers and UMNO leaders who sided with him.

7. Voting during UMNO general meeting went well. As it fell on Friday, voting was stopped and supporters of Tengku Razaleigh was able to continue campaigning among the delegates.

8. Counting of votes was made many times because there were some that were not happy with the results. It was only at eight o’clock at night that a decision can be declared.

9. I won by only 43 votes. I accepted. Events that occurred after that are well known and do not need me to repeat here.

10. This December 2015, the UMNO General Meeting will be held.

11. There would not be any election whatsoever. But somehow for whatever reason, efforts are being made by UMNO that debate on certain subject matters, especially 1MDB and the sum of 2.6 billion ringgit in the personal account of Dato Sri Najib, must not be raised.

12. The conference will be closed to the public. Not all speeches by delegates will be broadcasted. Only the president’s speech will be broadcasted.

13. By right Muhyiddin Yassin, as Deputy President will open the conference of the wings – youth, women and women’s youth. Warnings have been given so that UMNO members will not speak on this matter.

14. What kind of UMNO General Meeting is this?

15. I will not be running for any office. But big efforts are being made to silence me, to stop me from meeting with members of UMNO, even with the public. Conference rooms where meetings could be held which can be attended by me are not available as all owners fear reprimand by the Government.

16. There is a climate of fear which prevents all activities concerned with criticizing the Government. It seems to have become a non-written crime. But these allegations are made in this supposedly democratic country. Anyone who tries to sabotage democratic Malaysia is liable to be imprisoned up to 15 years. But in actual fact the government itself is sabotaging democratic Malaysia.

17. Various undemocratic pressures are being deployed.

18. There are people faced with inspection of their income, supposedly for not paying income taxes. There are people being questioned by police. Some are detained not based on any law. Some are threatened with loss of contracts etc.

19. As the saying goes, courage because of truth, fear because of wrongdoings. Is it because of wrongdoings that there is so much fear for 1MDB and 2.6 billion ringgit being discussed.

THE POLICE INTERVIEW

1. There were a large number of reporters waiting to interview me about the questioning by the police that the IGP and the Minister of Home Affairs had promised.

2. I was not sure how to handle the reporters. I know the police is a professional institution. It works for the elected Government. Still I was not quite sure why the police i.e. the Government wanted to question me. Had I committed a crime or is it that they wanted some information from me for the prosecution of others.

3. I had been interviewed by the police and the AG’s chambers before. They wanted to make me a Government witness. I listened to them and concluded that there was no case for the accused person to answer. So I refused to be a prosecution witness.

4. This time it is not about making me a witness. They wanted answers to questions. My lawyers advised me not to answer most of those questions. So I did not.

5. Thinking it over afterwards I concluded that they were trying to make what I did or said in public before were some kind of wrong-doings, to even be some kind of criminal act. Although they did not say I would be charged, but there was just a hint that I might be charged.

6. I re-examined the questions posed by the police and I cannot see how what I did or said can be against any law.

7. I did attend a rally that had not been permitted by police. There were more than 50,000 people at that rally. If I did something wrong then 50,000 people at that rally also did something wrong.

8. To be just, the law must apply to everyone equally. To single me out for the offense of attending the illegal rally would be unjust. It would be a kind of victimisation. Unless the Government wishes to be unjust, it cannot take action against me alone.

9. Another question was about asking Najib to step down. I have urged people to overthrow Najib. I had asked the Tunku and Abdullah Badawi to step down.

10. I did not advocate violence. In a democracy the overthrow of a Prime Minister or a Government is a common thing. Recently the PM of Australia was overthrown by his own party. The PM of Romania resigned because a night-club caught fire and some people died. Najib himself overthrew Abdullah who was an elected PM.

11. Overthrowing a democratically elected Prime Minister through street demonstration is also normal.

12. So what is wrong with my attending a demonstration to demand that Najib be overthrown as PM. Even supporting a vote of no confidence in his leadership is not wrong except in a dictatorship.

13. What would be considered wrong would be resorting to violence, to a civil war or revolution. But Najib is trying to make out that asking him to resign is undemocratic and against the law. The questions by the police seem to imply this.

14. I often refer to the loss of money by 1MDB and the 2.6 billion Ringgit in Najib’s private account. I openly declared I don’t believe Najib’s 2.6 billion Ringgit is a donation from an Arab. I believe it is from 1MDB. Najib has not proven it is not 1MDB money. When you take something that does not belong to you, it is a kind of stealing.

15. When I was PM I was accused of corruption, of cronyism, of being autocratic etc. I took no action to make any accusation against me a crime. I believe it is normal for such allegations to be made. If the people really believe these things about me they could throw me out. But despite attempts to end my premiership, the people gave me strong support during five elections. They did not seem to want to be rid of me. Even when challenged by Tengku Razaleigh, I had more support than him. I revived UMNO and it won support and the next election.

16. If I were defeated I would have accepted it. That is the democratic way.

17. By saying that Najib had stolen Government money, it can only be defamation if he could prove he did not. So far he has not been able to convincingly prove that the 2.6 billion in his private account did not come from 1MDB and therefore not from the Government. He has stopped investigations on the 2.6 billion in his account. That practically proves that he feared the investigations might prove the allegations against him have substance. Appointing other people to replace the original officers is interference in the work of the investigators. The replacements do not create credibility.

18. Defamation is only defamation if you say something that is false about a person. Prove that what I said is false then sue me for defamation. That is the way to go.

19. It seems to me and I may be wrong of course, that the kind of questions posed was to stop me from going on to do or say all those things I did. If I stop then Najib would be free from exposure of the wrong things that he has done or will do. People might then forget.

20. The courts may decide that I had committed a crime for what I did or said. But until I am found guilty by the courts, I will continue to believe and say that I had done nothing wrong, nothing undemocratic.

21. So I will continue to ask Najib to resign, to disbelieve his explanation about how he got the 2.6 billion Ringgit, to criticise the loans taken by 1MDB and the losses incurred by it.

22. This is my right as a citizen. To deny me of these rights would really be undemocratic.

VERSI BM

TEMUDUGA POLIS

1. Terdapat sebilangan besar wartawan menunggu untuk menemubual saya mengenai soal siasat oleh pihak polis yang Ketua Polis Negara dan Menteri Dalam Negeri telah janjikan.

2. Saya kurang pasti bagaimana untuk mengendalikan wartawan-wartawan ini. Saya tahu polis adalah sebuah institusi profesional. Ia berfungsi untuk Kerajaan yang dipilih. Namun saya masih tidak cukup pasti mengapa polis, iaitu Kerajaan mahu menyoal saya. Adakah saya telah melakukan suatu jenayah atau adakah mereka mahu beberapa maklumat dari saya untuk mendakwa orang lain.

3. Saya pernah ditemu ramah oleh pihak polis dan Pejabat Peguam Negara sebelum ini. Mereka mahu jadikan saya saksi Kerajaan. Saya mendengar mereka dan membuat kesimpulan bahawa tidak ada kes bagi orang yang dituduh untuk menjawab. Jadi saya enggan menjadi saksi pendakwaan.

4. Kali ini ia bukan mengenai menjadikan saya sebagai saksi. Mereka mahu jawapan-jawapan kepada soalan-soalan. Peguam-peguam saya menasihatkan saya supaya tidak menjawab kebanyakan soalan-soalan. Jadi saya tidak membuat demikian.

5. Mengimbas kembali kemudiannya, saya membuat kesimpulan bahawa mereka cuba menjadikan apa yang saya lakukan atau berucap di khalayak ramai sebelum ini sebagai sejenis salah laku, atau beberapa kesalahan jenayah. Walaupun mereka tidak mengatakan saya akan didakwa, tetapi terdapat tanda-tanda bahawa saya mungkin didakwa.

6. Saya memikir semula soalan-soalan yang dikemukakan oleh pihak polis dan saya tidak dapat melihat bagaimana apa yang saya lakukan atau berkata adalah bertentangan dengan mana-mana undang-undang.

7. Saya menghadiri perhimpunan yang tidak dibenarkan oleh polis. Terdapat lebih daripada 50,000 orang di perhimpunan itu. Jika saya telah melakukan sesuatu yang salah maka 50,000 orang pada perhimpunan itu juga melakukan sesuatu yang salah.

8. Untuk berlaku adil, undang-undang perlu dikenakan kepada semua orang sama rata. Untuk mempastikan saya seorang sahaja bagi kesalahan menghadiri perhimpunan haram itu adalah tidak adil. Ini sejenis penganiayaan. Melainkan jika Kerajaan ingin menjadi tidak adil, ia tidak boleh mengambil tindakan terhadap saya seorang sahaja.

9. Satu lagi soalan adalah mengenai permintaan saya untuk Najib berundur. Saya telah menggesa rakyat menggulingkan Najib. Saya telah pun suruh Tunku dan Abdullah Badawi meletak jawatan.

10. Saya tidak menyokong keganasan. Dalam demokrasi penggulingan seorang Perdana Menteri atau Kerajaan adalah satu perkara yang biasa. Baru-baru ini PM Australia digulingkan oleh partinya sendiri. PM Romania meletak jawatan kerana kelab malam terbakar dan beberapa orang meninggal dunia. Najib sendiri menggulingkan Abdullah yang merupakan seorang PM yang dipilih.

11. Menumbangkan seorang Perdana Menteri yang dipilih secara demokratik melalui demonstrasi jalanan juga normal.

12. Oleh itu, apakah salahnya saya menghadiri demonstrasi untuk menuntut Najib digulingkan sebagai PM. Menyokong usul undi tidak percaya terhadap kepimpinan beliau pun tidak salah kecuali dalam pemerintahan diktator.

13. Apakah yang boleh dianggap salah adalah mengambil jalan keganasan, perang saudara atau revolusi. Tetapi Najib sedang cuba menjadikan permintaan untuk beliau meletakkan jawatan itu sebagai tidak demokratik dan melanggar undang-undang. Soalan-soalan oleh pihak polis seolah-olah membayangkan ini.

14. Saya sering merujuk kepada kehilangan wang oleh 1MDB dan 2.6 bilion ringgit dalam akaun peribadi Najib. Saya secara terbuka mengisytiharkan bahawa saya tidak percaya 2.6 bilion Ringgit kepunyaan Najib adalah sumbangan dari Arab. Saya percaya ia adalah dari 1MDB. Najib tidak membuktikan ianya tidak wang 1MDB. Apabila anda mengambil sesuatu yang bukan hak anda, ianya adalah sejenis pencurian.

15. Semasa saya PM saya dituduh rasuah, kronisme, autokratik dan lain-lain. Saya tidak mengambil tindakan untuk menjadikan sebarang tuduhan terhadap saya satu jenayah. Saya percaya ia adalah perkara biasa bagi dakwaan sebegitu dibuat. Jika rakyat benar-benar percaya perkara-perkara itu mengenai saya mereka boleh membuang saya. Tetapi walaupun terdapat percubaan untuk menamatkan perkhidmatan saya sebagai Perdana Menteri, rakyat memberi saya sokongan kukuh pada lima pilihan raya. Mereka seolah-olah tidak mahu membuangkan saya. Walaupun dicabar oleh Tengku Razaleigh, saya mempunyai lebih banyak sokongan daripada dia. Saya menghidupkan semula UMNO dan ia memenangi sokongan dan pilihan raya selanjutnya.

16. Jika saya dikalahkan saya akan menerimanya. Itulah cara yang demokratik.

17. Dengan mengatakan bahawa Najib telah mencuri wang Kerajaan, ia hanya boleh menjadi fitnah jika beliau boleh membuktikan beliau tidak melakukannya. Setakat ini, beliau gagal memberi bukti yang meyakinkan bahawa 2.6 bilion dalam akaun peribadinya tidak datang dari 1MDB dan oleh itu tidak datang daripada Kerajaan. Beliau telah menghentikan siasatan ke atas 2.6 bilion pada akaunnya. Itu membuktikan bahawa dia takut siasatan mungkin membuktikan dakwaan terhadapnya mempunyai kepastian. Melantik orang lain untuk menggantikan pegawai asal adalah campur tangan dalam kerja-kerja penyiasat. Penggantian ini tidak mewujudkan kredibiliti.

18. Fitnah itu adalah suatu fitnah jika anda mengatakan sesuatu yang palsu mengenai seseorang. Buktikan bahawa apa yang saya katakan itu adalah palsu, kemudian dakwalah saya kerana memfitnah. Itu adalah caranya.

19. Pada pandangan saya dan mungkin saya salah, jenis soalan yang dikemukakan adalah untuk menghalang saya daripada terus melakukan atau mengatakan segala perkara-perkara yang saya lakukan. Jika saya berhenti maka Najib akan bebas daripada pendedahan perkara-perkara yang salah yang telah beliau lakukan atau akan lakukan. Rakyat mungkin lupa selepas itu.

20. Mahkamah boleh memutuskan bahawa saya telah melakukan suatu jenayah bagi apa yang saya telah lakukan atau berkata. Tetapi sehingga saya disabitkan salah oleh mahkamah, saya akan terus mempercayai dan menyatakan bahawa saya tidak melakukan sesuatu yang salah dan tidak demokratik.

21. Oleh itu, saya akan terus meminta Najib untuk meletakkan jawatan, tidak mempercayai beliau tentang bagaimana beliau mendapat 2.6 bilion Ringgit, mengkritik pinjaman yang diambil oleh 1MDB dan kerugian yang ditanggung olehnya.

22. Ini adalah hak saya sebagai seorang warganegara. Untuk menafi saya hak-hak ini adalah sesuatu yang tidak demokratik.
