YOURSAY | 'Are 1MDB accounts written on paper ledgers, like those of a small town grocery store?'

MOF can't say when 1MDB's financial statements will be completed

Anonymous 2436471476414726: How very convenient. Now they blame the police for the delay in furnishing the accounts.

The truth is they would rather have the audit not completed because they have lots of facts to hide. Meanwhile, they can go on telling one lie after another.

BN must be voted out in the coming general election. They have completely lost the trust of the rakyat.

Oscar Kilo: The police have completed their investigations and it's NFA (no further action). So 1MDB should be able to get their documents back.

But anyway, is there only one copy of the documents?

Bad Feng Shui: Are 1MDB accounts written on paper ledgers, like those of a small town grocery store?

Doesn't this "strategic enabler for new ideas and sources of growth" (the tagline from 1MDB's website) have backup copies of their own accounts?

Donplaypuks: This is 100 percent horse manure from the Ministry of Finance (MOF) chief secretary Irwan Serigar Abdullah. Why can't the auditors do the audit at the police headquarters, where the documents are said to be kept?

How can anyone accept this explanation from the MOF and the auditors?

Truthseeker: What a convenient excuse, except that it is unbelievable. Can't the auditors request a copy of all the documents?

What happens if the documents conveniently get lost, like the CIMB backup data? Something is definitely not right with the so-called investigations.

Anonymous 1719401496919916: The public need not wait anymore. I can tell you the possible scenarios of what may happen next.

1. The documents are destroyed in a fire.

2. Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) loses the documents either during storage or they happen to be stolen from the evidence room.

3. The police don't know what 1MDB is talking about because the documents have been returned.

4. 1MDB says the documents have been passed on to the Attorney-General's Chambers.

5. The Attorney-General's Chambers says the documents have been viewed, papers are being prepared, and the documents had been returned to 1MDB.

6. The documents would definitely disappear if Umno/BN loses the general election.

Bornean: If it were a private company that had delayed in submitting its annual audited accounts, one can predict the actions the Commission of Companies would take.

Anonymous_40f4: In neighbouring Indonesia, the speaker has been arrested for theft of RM500 million. Here in Bolehland, RM40 billion has allegedly been stolen and RM2.6 billion had been found in the prime minister's personal accounts.

The institutions are falling over one another to bluff their way through all this. What a shameful country we have, managed by shameful people whose salaries are paid heavily by taxpayers and yet they betray them.

Anonymous 2443871479002035: Here is another joke.

The MACC has not received any information on the written declaration made by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) special agent Robert Heuchling, pertaining to the US Department of Justice's (DOJ) civil suit against 1MDB.

MACC yet to receive info from FBI, says Low

Simple Malaysian: Why in the world would the FBI provide such information when it was never requested in the first place?

Furthermore, Malaysia is the only place that has not initiated any criminal investigations while other countries have already done something about 1MDB-linked cases.

Malaysian authorities have time and again kept saying no wrongdoing has been done. Now Paul Low is saying the FBI has not provided any information. This is just playing a game of words to hoodwink the rakyat.

FairMind: If MACC never asked for the information, would the FBI give it?

In earlier disclosures by MACC, it was stated that MACC never started the 1MDB investigation because the police were handling it. The police said the 1MDB case was closed. The attorney-general (AG) said there was no wrongdoing in 1MDB.

So, were there any requests for information from FBI at all? If there were no requests for information, then Low is deliberately and maliciously giving a half-truth answer.

Truthseeker: Indeed, Low must be very naive to expect the FBI to provide information to MACC when there is no request submitted.

The DOJ knows that Malaysia is not interested to do any investigation on MO1 (Malaysian Official 1) and 1MDB, since our AG has already declared that everything is above board.

Also, while on this matter, why did the AG turn down the Swiss AG's office's request for mutual legal assistance (MLA)? Can you provide the reason, Low?

Rupert16: Low must be thinking that Malaysians are idiots with his stupid answer to a simple question.

It is shameful for someone who used to be an advocate against corruption, coming up with such excuses to protect those who have allegedly committed grand corruption.

Raja Chulan: How stupid... if our chicken gets stolen, why wait for a report from the neighbour? We are the ones who should go find it or make a report on the theft.
