I am shocked to discover during my walkabout with the DAP candidate for Johor State Assembly seat, Tan Hong Pin that MCA propagandists are spreading the version that there is nothing wrong with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s RM2.6 billion donation in his personal banking accounts and the 1MDB scandal, especially as Najib had given back the RM2.6 billion to the people of Malaysia.
This is a monstrous multiple lie and falsehood, which is worse than the lie recently by the Barisan Nasional Strategic Communications Unit when responding to the FaceBook posting by former Cabinet Minister, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, asking the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) to clarify if it had known about caretaker prime minister Najib Razak’s infamous RM2.6 billion donation, and how the department had dealt with it at the time. The Barisan Nasional strategic communications team, which is headed by the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datu Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan, said that that Najib had returned most, if not all, of the RM2.6 billion donation he received in 2013. This is a double lie, for Najib had not returned most, and definitely not all, of the RM2.6 billion Donation to Saudi royalty he received in 2013. The BN strategic communications team recently claimed in response to the FaceBook posting by former Cabinet Minister, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, asking the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) to clarify if it had known about caretaker prime minister Najib Razak’s infamous RM2.6 billion donation, and how the department had dealt with it at the time. In reply, the BN strategic Communications team made the fantastic claim that Najib had returned most, if not all, of the RM2.6 billion donation, which at least, not as monstrous as the greater lie that Najib had distributed the RM2.6 billion back to Malaysians. The claim that Najib had returned most, if not all, of the RM2.6 billion donation in 2013 was of course untrue, or Malaysia would not suffer the 3Is of infamy, ignominy and iniquity as a global kleptocracy!
But this is not as monstrous as what some MCA propagandists are saying on the ground, that Najib was in fact the greatest Malaysian philanthropist who had distributed the RM2.6 billion to Malaysians.
What has happened to the RM2.6 billion? There are documentary evidence to show that Najib had received RM2.6 billion donation, not from any Saudi Arabian Royalty, but from 1MDB funds; and although RM2.1 billion was “returned” to the original donor, it was not to any Saudi Arabia royalty but the 1MDB-linked TANORE bank account in Singapore, and that the RM2.1 billion “returned” monies were used to purchase the RM1 billion Equanimity luxury superyacht owned by Jho Low and seized by the Indonesian authorities in Bali in February and the RM144 million pink diamond necklace for the “wife of MO1”, among other expensive expenditures, including at least US$9.9 million on jewellery for Australian model Miranda Kerr, purchase of a Bombadier jet, muti-million purchases of artworks by Van Gogh and Claude Monet, etc.
MCA President, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai must explain whether it is official MCA campaign Strategy to spread the claim that there is nothing wrong with Najib’s 2.6 billion donation and the 1MDB scandal as Najib had given back the RM2.6 billion to Malaysians.
