YOURSAY | ‘Would you be able to share with us who the 'donor' or 'donors' are?’

Stop 1MDB song and dance, minister tells Pua-Rafizi pair

Pemerhati: BN strategic communications director Abdul Rahman Dahlan said, "Both the PAC inquiry and the auditor-general's report are based on evidence and proof and should be respected as the true sources to determine whether billions have been stolen."

We also know that the Altantuya Shaariibuu trial, which was also based on evidence and proof, did not identify the person who ordered the murder to be carried out.

Similarly, most people also know that a certain someone allegedly stole billions and not many people believe his ridiculous cock and bull story about that amount in donations from some Arabs.

Saya Pun Nak Cari Makan: Abdul Rahman, you do not live up to your high sounding post.

You do not plan a strategy by asking your opponents to just shut up, which is akin to a general asking the enemies to surrender just like that.

You need lots of planning to out fox your opponents, which you truly have none. In 1MDB, the strategy of silencing the opponents is simple:

1. Get Najib to bare all transactions in 1MDB.

2. Ask him to reveal his out-of-the-world donor of the unimaginable sum of RM2.6 billion.

3. How did he use such a huge sum of money, and if there is any remainder, reveal its whereabouts.

Of course, he must be subjected to questioning by all parties. When it’s done, the grumbling will stop.

CQ Muar: Abdul Rahman, who are you to answer and declare 1MDB is no longer a critical issue, when even the main culprit is deliberately silent over the truth?

Would you, Rahman Dahlan, be able to share with us who the 'donor' or 'donors' are?

Shanandoah: Abdul Rahman, be informed that RM2.6 billion in PM Najib Razak's bank account is not a matter of 'song and dance' as you put it. Neither is it an allegation.

It's a fact that the money was in Najib's personal account. It's you who is making a 'song and dance' of this very serious matter.

Lyingeagle: Abdul Rahman, if you strongly feel that parliamentarians Rafizi Ramli and Tony Pua are really wrong in the 1MDB matter, why don’t you strongly advise Najib and 1MDB chief Arul Kanda Kandasamy to take legal action against them.

They should act like what the late PM Lee Kuan Yew did when allegations were not true ...sue them until their pants drop down. Matter solved.

Ipohcrite: Abdul Rahman's call to stop the song and dance show about 1MDB should rightfully be directed at Najib and Arul instead.

The rakyat are still waiting for forthright answers, not the spin and beating-round-the-bush answers that have been dished out so far.

Wg321: We still don't know what are the "units" kept in Singapore. When is Arul going to answer such a simple basic question?

Pua hits back, accuses Arul of shielding 1MDB culprits

Ib: It's funny how the Wall Street Journal , the Economist , the Asia Sentinel , the Guardian in UK, and every other paper from Singapore to Jakarta to Bangkok have all reported on 1MDB woes and yet our ministers in Parliament are still hoping to cover up the big ugly scandal, pretending that it's a lie.

What a fool they have made of themselves. On the other hand, they could be either smoking some drugs or high on money.

Basically: Any kid of legal age could do Arul Kanda's job of 'rationalising' 1MDB's debts. Just sell off all its cheaply gained assets.

But the pressing 'recycled' question remains - how did 1MDB amass such gargantuan debts in the first place, for having done absolutely nothing, and where has all its money gone?

1MDB's new debt level - Arul coy despite repeated queries

Donplaypuks: As at 31 March 2014, 1MDB had debts and liabilities of RM51.4 billion, not just RM42 billion. This would have increased by at least RM10 billion due to the appreciation of the US dollar.

Also, a big portion of the RM40 billion asset-stripping sale - Edra, Bandar Malaysia, the Aabar Investments debt swap - would have gone to repaying bond interest funded by Abu Dhabi-based Aabar/IPIC (International Petroleum Investment Company) that 1MDB could not pay.

So, the actual debt in 1MDB's balance sheet would not have come done by RM40 billion, So, Arul is deliberately being dishonest as to 1MDB's debt which would still be at least RM25-30 billion.

And why hasn't Arul announced to the London Stock Exchange the details of the RM18 billion asset for debt interest taken over by IPIC? Why the secrecy?

Does this mean that IPIC has become a major equity shareholder in 1MDB, which is supposed to be a 100 percent Malaysian sovereign company owned by the rakyat through the Finance Ministry?

Saya Pun Nak Cari Makan: What special skill do you need to settle 1MDB's debts if it merely involves selling prized assets?

The kacang putih seller on the street could do it, and with a much lesser fee.
