Tomorrow morning, a third “Believe It or Not” event in two years involving the Prime Minister will take place when Datuk Seri Najib Razak declares open the glittering new MACC headquarters in Putrajaya – and like the two earlier “Believe It or Not” events, be the joke of Malaysians and the world!

Pakatan Harapan Members of Parliament only discovered that the MACC was having a gleaming new headquarters at Precinct 7 in Putrajaya on August 8 when some 30 Members of Parliament walked about 600 metres from Putrajaya Sentral station to the MACC headquarters to present a memorandum to MACC Chief Commissioner, Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad to re-open investigations into the international multi-billion dollar 1MDB money-laundering scandal.

A week earlier, more than 30 Pakatan Harapan Members of Parliament marched from Parliament to Bank Negara to present a memorandum to the Bank Negara Governor, Tan Sri Muhammad Ibrahim to reopen its investigation into the 1MDB scandal in light of new developments.

The MPs carried paper cutouts of “pink diamond” and a large banner stating “Sayangi Malaysia Hapuskan Kleptocrasi” during the march.

Bank Negara has since replied to the memorandum of the Pakatan Harapan MPs, revealing that Bank Negara had imposed a total of RM115.8 million in compounds and administrative penalties on 1MDB and its entities in the past two years.

Although the Bank Negara reply was unsatisfactory, at least there was a response, but there is no official reply as yet from the MACC Chief Commissioner.

Will the MACC Chief Commissioner deliver his reply to the memorandum of the Pakatan Harapan MPs on August 7 at the official opening of the new MACC Building in Putrajaya tomorrow? Read the rest of this entry »
