Has Ismail Sabri any answer to the query by Mahathir why no action was taken against former Attorney-General Apandi abetting the 1MDB scandal


(Versi BM)

Caretaker Prime Minister Ismail Sabri said in his recent speech in Bagan Datuk that he had instructed the Attorney-General Idrus Harun to take action against former Attorney-General Tommy Thomas under the Official Secrets Act (OSA), defamation law and others and that he had declassified the report on the investigation into Thomas’ book, “My Story: Justice in the Wilderness”, so it can be used as political “bullets” to attack Pakatan Harapan.

A week later, former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad questioned the lack of action taken against former attorney-general Apandi Ali over his abetting of the 1MDB scandal as it was during Ismail Sabri’s time as Prime Minster that Apandi Ali (May 23, 2022) lost his defamation suit against me.

Mahathri said it is very strange that until now there had been no investigation or action taken against Apandi.

Mahathri said: “Apandi made mistakes when he was attorney-general before Tommy Thomas. The mistake of releasing (former PM) Najib (Abdul Razak) from any legal action clearly points to Apandi being involved in covering up the 1MDB scandal, given that Najib is now in prison.”

What is Ismail Sabri’s response to Mahathir’s query?

Mahathir referred to the High Court judgment by Justice Azimah Omar that rejected the former attorney-general’s defamation suit against me.

Justice Azimah concluded that Apandi, among others, is a person who did not speak the truth.

Mahathir said in her judgment, the judge also expressed the court’s disgust at how despicable Apandi’s contradicting, evasive and fraudulent statements were.

Over to Ismail Sabri to explain why UMNO leaders, inside and outside the government, are still trying to deny and cover up the 1MDB scandal, described as “kleptocracy at its worst” by an US Attorney-General.

Adakah Ismail Sabri mempunyai jawapan kepada persoalan Mahathir yang bertanya mengapa tiada tindakan diambil terhadap bekas Peguam Negara Apandi yang bersubahat dalam skandal 1MDB

Perdana Menteri sementara, Ismail Sabri, mengatakan dalam ucapannya baru-baru ini di Bagan Datuk yang dia telah mengarahkan Peguam Negara, Idrus Harun, untuk mengambil tindakan terhadap bekas Peguam Negara, Tommy Thomas, di bawah peruntukan Akta Rahsia Rasmi dan undang-undang lain dan bahawa dia telah menyahrahsia laporan siasatan terhadap buku Thomas yang bertajuk, “My Story: Justice in the Wilderness”, supaya laporan ini dapat digunakan sebagai “peluru” politik untuk menyerang Pakatan Harapan.

Seminggu kemudian, bekas Perdana Menteri, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, telah mempersoalkan mengapa tiada tindakan diambil terhadap bekas Peguam Negara, Apandi Ali, kerana bersubahat dalam skandal 1MDB memandangkan semasa Ismail Sabri menjadi Perdana Menteri Apandi Ali telah kalah saman malunya (23 Mei 2022) terhadap saya.

Mahathir mengatakan, sangat pelik sehingga hari ini masih tidak ada siasatan atau tindakan yang telah diambil terhadap Apandi.

Mahathir mengatakan: “Apandi membuat kesilapan apabila dia menjadi peguam negara sebelum Tommy Thomas. Kesilapan dalam melepaskan (bekas PM) Najib (Abdul Razak) dari sebarang tindakan undang-undang yang jelas menunjukkan Apandi terlibat dalam menutup skandal 1MDB, memandangkan Najib kini berada dalam penjara.”

Apakah respon Ismail Sabri terhadap pertanyaan Mahathir ini?

Mahathir merujuk kepada keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi oleh Hakim Azimah Omar yang menolak saman malu bekas peguam negara tersebut terhadap saya.

Hakim Azimah memutuskan yang Apandi, antaranya, adalah seseorang yang tidak bercakap benar.

Mahathir mengatakan, dalam penghakimannya, hakim turut menzahirkan rasa jijik mahkamah dengan kenyataan Apandi yang bertentangan, mengelak-elak, dan penuh penipuan.

Kini Ismail Sabri perlu menjelaskan mengapa para pemimpin UMNO, di dalam dan di luar kerajaan, masih cuba untuk menafikan dan menutup skandal 1MDB yang digambarkan sebagai “kleptokrasi dalam bentuk yang terburuk” oleh Peguam Negara AS.
