Sarawak Report reveals details of 'auditor-general’s report on 1MDB'

Odin Tajué: We will recall that when there was a hue and cry following The Wall Street Journal's first exposé last year, PM Najib Razak, his minions and cybertroopers all said to not speculate and to wait for the auditor-general's report.

When the auditor-general's report was completed, it was put under OSA (Official Secrets Act). Only morons would not be able to tell why that was done. We are not morons. We can tell very well why.

Now we even have the details. US$6.8 billion was misappropriated. You have such things as double payment and paying of assets at higher than their market value.

Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown has issued a challenge on no fewer than four occasions for Najib, Jho Low and all the rest she has named to take her to court. Now she is throwing yet another challenge.

I will bet none of those named will have the guts to take her up on her challenge. Not one.

Kim Quek: In the first of a series of articles exposing the banned auditor-general’s report on 1MDB, Sarawak Report has revealed damning evidence and irresistible conclusion that 1MDB is but a bogus sovereign wealth fund that existed to enable its mighty controller to allegedly steal as many billions as he wished through loans that will eventually be repaid by the government.

Once again, thanks to the indefatigable Clare for championing the cause of oppressed Malaysians with this bold exposure of the alleged high crimes committed by the ruling elite against its own people.

Such exposure would make it so much harder to sweep this alleged abominable heist under the carpet, and ensure justice prevails.

Clever Voter: The integrity of the auditor-general has never been in doubt. But the Najib administration will be unmoved by such adverse reports.

The annual reports from the auditor-general were ignored and treated as non-event. The indifferent attitudes will persist. After all, they won two by-elections, and seemingly the people would not be bothered.

This is a broken country with a feudalistic governance that lacks basic controls and do not differentiate between public and party interest.

Negarawan: My highest respect to Ambrin Buang and his team for the fearless and detailed forensic investigation on 1MDB. Truly, he is one of the rare remaining civil servants who perform their public duties with the highest degree of professionalism, integrity and transparency.

He has not been afflicted by the "cash is king" disease, as many others in the civil service have, including the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), Attorney-General’s Chambers, Bank Negara and the judiciary.

A copy of the auditor-general’s report is surely already in the hands of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the US Department of Justice (DOJ), and other foreign investigation teams.

The main perpetrators behind 1MDB can run but they cannot hide for too long. All fair-minded Malaysians should pray for divine justice to be served swiftly on these perpetrators to stop the rot in the country.

The main perpetrator has been working very hard to impede investigations, suppress evidence and incarcerating all voices of dissent. May God Almighty punish him and his accomplices in the severest form, and protect innocent Malaysians from injustice.

Anonymous 1890491455255851: It is astounding how the PM/finance minister could be so bold as to believe he can do anything he wants with impunity.

And to add to that, we have a bunch of men who were designated board directors and management who did as they liked, knowing they had the protection of the highest office in the country.

For the new finance minister II to have the gall to say that he can't rule out the use of public funds to get us out of this 1MDB mess is highly irresponsible, and this is like stomping on us when we are already down and bleeding.

It has been clear and more so now, that 1MDB was used in the most reckless and irresponsible manner. The people who should be rescuing it should be those who conducted and approved these allegedly illegal activities.

It still astounds me even more that the PM is still going about his business as normal and that Umno members aren't outraged by this.

Clearly I don't have to spell out what that says about them. That includes attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali.

Wg321: We must thank the civil servant who sent the Auditor-General’s Report on 1MDB lock, stock and barrel to Sarawak Report in London, maybe by Poslaju.

Anonymous 2415891461978791: The pattern of gross criminality revealed in the auditor-general's report is enough to get Najib Razak imprisoned in any country where the rule of law is respected.

SusahKes: In spite of this latest revelation, I can't help but still feel somewhat pessimistic; the conclusion from the recent two by-elections appear to suggest that most Malaysian voters are the least bothered when it concerns 1MDB.

A sack or two rice bags, it seems, is enough to secure their vote. So what if there are detrimental conclusions contained in the auditor-general's report?

Previous reports have only been met, time and again, with an apathetic response from the government. And with the PM's new found confidence arising from the by-elections, you wonder whether this revelation would make any difference.

Sarawak Report's revelations reminds me of that old Eagles song, “You can't hide your lyin' eyes. And your smile is a thin disguise. I thought by now you'd realize. There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes.”

Cogito Ergo Sum: A police report must be lodged against Sarawak Report because it has breached the OSA.

Then, an arrest warrant must be issued and Claire arrested. I am sure Interpol will extend their cooperation in such a serious and heinous crime.

Rupert16: The truth has prevailed. Najib and Jho Low can no longer cover themselves with fig leaves over the 1MDB scam.

Annynomous: So how, Apandi?
