The MALAYSIAN INSIDER - SCAPEGOAT to own up US$700 million donation

Umno veteran expects scapegoat to own up as US$700 million donor

A scapegoat will admit to having donated the US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) that was found to be in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's personal accounts, says former secretary-general of Umno, Tan Sri Sanusi Junid. – The Malaysian Insider filepicpic, August 6, 2015.

An Umno veteran leader expects a scapegoat to admit having donated the US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) that was found to be in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's personal accounts.

Former secretary-general Tan Sri Sanusi Junid said he was not surprised by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's announcement that the money came from a foreign donor and not from state strategic investor 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

"It is something expected and not a surprise. I am sure they will look for a rich individual to admit that he or she had donated the money," he told The Malaysian Insider via SMS.

He said it is hard to believe that an individual can fork out so much money for a donation.

"What is clear is that if the donor is a Malaysian, it is not just one person. A billionaire could not even afford to donate such a large amount," said the federal minister who served under former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's administration in the 1980s.

"They have to find people who are based overseas like the Sultan of Brunei, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet or those of their level. Or Arab royalty and their children."

Sanusi said businessmen would not donate such as amount without hoping for something in return.

"Then it will not be a donation," he added.

"Unless we hire someone and pay them very well until they are willing to admit they are the donors. But it has to be someone who is credible and can be trusted," he said.

Sanusi expressed confidence that the donation did not come from Umno members as usually, the annual fees are paid by the division chiefs.

The former Kedah Menteri Besar also cynically said that only those with a high Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) in university will be "used" to find the individual who is willing to be a scapegoat.

"Have to find a leader with CGPA 3.85 to look for the donor," he said.

Sanusi did not mention any names, but Umno minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan, who has courted scorn and ridicule on the Internet over his attempts to explain to the public how the unpopular goods and services tax (GST) worked, was dubbed Ahmad "CGPA 3.85", after he wrote on Twitter that he was not so stupid as he had earned a 3.85 CGPA in his Master of Business Administration.

On Monday, MACC said the US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) which was channelled into Najib's personal bank accounts came from donors and not from 1MDB.

The anti-graft agency also confirmed that the donor is from the Middle East, but did not name the source. MACC also said it would ask Najib to provide an explanation on the donation.

Allegations of RM2.67 billion in Najib's accounts first surfaced in a report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on July 2, citing documents from Malaysian investigators.

WSJ said the source of the funds was unknown, but came through 1MDB-linked entities in various tranches, the largest of which – US$681 million – was channelled to Najib's accounts in March 2013, ahead of the general election in May that year.

The prime minister denied taking 1MDB funds for personal use, but did not directly address the fund transfers.

A few of Najib's Cabinet members had previously said that there was nothing wrong in money being funnelled into his personal accounts as he had the capacity to be a trustee for Umno, of which he is president. – August 6, 2015.

MALAYSIA GAZETTE - WAWANCARA ISU SEMASA

Di bawah ini saya perturunkan keseluruhan kandungan wawancara saya dengan Malaysia Gazette, di dalam bahasa pasar, tanpa diedit. Selamat membaca.

 

Diskus, Malaysia Gazette

16 Aug 2015

Bagi saya faktor yang penting bagi orang politik ialah pilihan raya. Dan, kalau orang Melayu sudah naik hangat, orang Melayu ada dua sifat yang tidak ada bangsa lain. Ada tiga bangsa yang ada sifat latah dengan mengamuk. Latah orang Melayu dengan Eskimo dan mengamuk Melayu dan Korea. Tetapi Melayu special, sebab dua-dua ada. 

Ikuti wawancara Tan Sri Sanusi Junid bersama wartawan Malaysia Gazette Ainul Asniera Ahsan dan Norlaile Abd Rahman.

 

Pengguguran Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin baru-baru ini dikatakan mengulangi sejarah Tun Musa Hitam pada tahun 1986, apa komen Tan Sri?

 

SANUSI: Persamaan Muhyiddin dan Musa dua-dua orang Johor tetapi kes mereka lain. Musa dulu dia sudah mula rimas bekerja di bawah Tun Dr. Mahathir dan tidak setuju dengan beberapa perkara. Musa tidak setuju sebab Mahathir recruit orang muda yang lain. Dia letak jawatan dengan harapan UMNO akan tetapkan beliau balik sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Timbalan Presiden UMNO.

 

Bagi Mahathir pulak hak melantik Timbalan Perdana Menteri itu hak dia, jadi UMNO boleh keputusan setakat suruh Musa balik sebagai Timbalan Presiden UMNO. Jadi dia balik sebagai Timbalan Presiden UMNO, tetapi bukan Timbalan Perdana Menteri kerana Mahathir cari orang lain. Keadaan ini berlaku bukan sebab skandal cuma Musa tidak setuju Mahathir promote orang muda macam Anwar Ibrahim.

BR1M - UNTUK BASMI KEMISKINAN?

ADAKAH SALAH MEMBANTU ORANG MISKIN?

1. Soalan di atas telah ditujukan oleh Perdana Menteri kepada Tun Dr. Mahathir kerana Tun Dr. Mahathir menyoal lojiknya program BR1M yang menabur wang, tanpa diminta, termasuk kepada pihak yang sudah mampu berdikari dari segi kewangan, walaupun tidak berlimpah ruah wangnya.

2. Bukan Tun Dr. Mahathir sahaja yang menyoal kebijaksanaan projek ini kerana ada ramai ibu bapa dari sekolah-sekolah di persekitaran Kuala Lumpur, yang menerima BR1M, tertanya-tanya sebabnya kerajaan berbelanja begitu banyak wang sedangkan permohonan dari sekolah untuk projek bagi kemudahan murid telah ditolak oleh Kementerian Pendidikan kerana tiada peruntukan.

3. Malahan ada yang keluarga mereka bekerja di kedutaan luar negeri mendapat teguran kerana mengambil BR1M sedangkan biaya yang diperlukan oleh kedutaan-kedutaan di luar negeri tidak dapat dipenuhi kerana Kementerian Luar Negeri kekurangan wang.

4. Keangkuhan soalan ini juga memberi implikasi seolah-olah kerajaan tidak memberi perhatian kepada masalah kemiskinan sebelum BR1M diperkenalkan.

5. Walaupun kedudukan nilai Ringgit Malaysia kina sudah teruk merudum turun sehingga pelajar-pelajar kita di luar negara pasti kekurangan wang, kita dengar bahawa program BR1M lebih diutamakan.

6. Saya percaya bukan saya sahaja, tetapi juga semua pesara Melayu akan merasa tersinggung apabila membaca soalan ini kerana ianya menggambarkan seolah-olah Perdana Menteri tidak sedar betapa hebat kerajaan Barisan Nasional, yang dipimpin oleh UMNO bermula di zaman bapanya Tun Abdul Razak Hussein sehinggalah di zaman pemerintahan Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed telah banyak memberi perhatian kepada usaha membantu rakyat yang miskin.

7. Walaupun Dato' Seri Najib sasarkan soalan itu kepada Tun Dr. Mahathir, sebagai pengkritik utama beliau, tetapi beliau tidak harus lupa bahawa program UMNO sejak Merdeka, dan sepanjang pemerintahan KAMI atau KITA, tidak pernah lupa kepada orang miskin dari semua kaum, khususnya Bumiputera.

8. Malahan, kerana kesedaran inilah maka Dasar Ekonomi Baru (DEB) telah diperkenalkan setelah peristiwa berdarah 13 Mei, 1969.

9. Sebelum DEB diperkenalkan, dari sejak Merdeka lagi, berbagai projek telah dilaksanakan untuk meningkatkan ekonomi rakyat khususnya di luar bandar. Bagi rakyat yang memerlukan tanah pula Felda telah ditubuhkan dan bagi rakyat yang kurang tanah tetapi ada tanah kerajaan di samping tempat tinggalnya kita adakan rancangan Felcra.

10. Atas kesedaran kerajaan yang bertanggungjawab untuk mengimbangkan peranan rakyat dalam bidang ekonomi maka banyak syarikat milik kerajaan dan perbadanan telah ditubuhkan. Puncak segala penubuhan institusi membangun ekonomi Melayu dan Bumiputera ialah kewujudan Permodalan Nasional Berhad dan Khazanah Nasional.

ANTARA BERPOLIGAMI & BERNIAGA

HAK ISTERI YANG HENDAK DIMADUKAN

1. Malaysia adalah sebuah negara yang ada peraturan menikah yang memerlukan izin isteri pertama jika ianya hendak dimadukan. Saya tiada pengalaman dan kurang pasti jika surat dari dua orang isteri diperlukan jika sang suami ingin menikah buat kali ketiga. Apatahlagi jika pernikahan itu untuk kali keempat. Perlukah 3 surat persetujuan?
 

2. Waktu saya menjadi salah seorang rakan kongsi dalam syarikat SAZARA Sdn. Bhd. (SA - Sanusi; ZA - Zain dari Filem Negara; R - P. Ramlee dan A - SN Dato' Abdullah Husin), untuk membuat filem motivasi Melayu seperti filem Hong Kong bernama 'One Arm Swordsman' yang dilakunkan oleh Wang Yu, P. Ramlee pernah memberitahu saya bahawa yang susah ialah menguruskan perkahwinan kedua; bila itu sudah lut, yang ketiga itu isteri pertama pun boleh tolong cari untuk menyakitkan hati isteri kedua, dan isteri keempat akan diusahakan oleh isteri pertama dan kedua supaya padan muka isteri ketiga.  

 

3. Pada awal tahun 1970an peraturan memerlukan izin isteri terdahulu sebelum boleh menikah seorang lagi tidak pernah saya dengar. Oleh itu di waktu saya menjadi pegawai bank dahulu dan bertanggungjawab  ke atas pinjaman kepada 25 ribu orang penanam padi di Perlis, Kedah dan Seberang Prai ramailah dari peminjam wang, yang telah menyelesaikan hutang dan ada wang simpanan yang cukup, yang menikah dengan isteri kedua tanpa sebarang halangan.

4. Pada tahun 1973 saya diberitahu sekitar 3 ribu orang pemegang saham SYARIKAT INSAN DIRANTO BHD yang meminjam wang melalui saya, telah berpoligami. Insan Diranto Bhd. ialah nama syarikat milik petani yang meminjam yang sahamnya dijadikan cagaran apabila nilainya mencukupi.

 

5. Memperbanyakkan isteri bagi mereka yang tinggal di luar bandar adalah perkara yang selari dengan tabiat Melayu, yang suka menambah atau mengulangi, apabila sudah berminat dengan satu-satu benda, menggemari satu-satu perkara atau menikmati satu-satu pengalaman.

TUN DR. MAHATHIR MOHAMAD

Assalaamu'alaikum and Good Day to all readers.

A FILM ON TUN DR. M.
 

Ms. Jen Nie wrote to me recently asking for an interview on Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. The others whom she had interviewed included Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad, Dato' Din Merican, Professor Khoo Kay Kim, Tan Sri Zainuddin Maidin and Dato' Dominc Puthucheary. I am glad to be included as the next person after these more knowledgeable, colourfull and dignified personalities. The interview is meant to be for a film on Tun Dr. Mahathir during his years in political wilderness (1969-1972) in which the book "The Malay Dilemma" was written.  Jen Nie wrote:

 

"What we like to explore is how the narrative - from May 13, 1969 to the announcement of the NEP and everything in between markedly rewrote Malaysian history to the extent that this narrative has appeared to be almost too difficult to challenge today."

 

Tun Dr. Mahathir will be the leading character in this film.

 

In reply to Ms. Yen NIe's message of May 21, 2015 I replied:

 

"Thank you Yennie for your interest in interviewing me. As I was working and studying in Hamburg, West Germany, following my period of study in London, I was actually not in Malaysia when May 13th incident took place. When I contested in the General Election, as a Barisan Nasional candidate in 1974 I was not a member of UMNO, i.e. after having registered as a member on 13th October, 1963 when I was apprenticed with The Chartered Bank in Seremban. Out of 199 articles that I have posted in my blog sanusijunid.blogspot.com 11 articles are related to Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed. I suggest that you read these articles first before we meet in order that you can economize your time and I too will not have to repeat all the boring things that I have written. The following are the titles of the articles and the dates of submission into my blog."

 

When I mentioned this request by Ms. Yen Nie, a friend said that he was not aware that I have written so much on Tun Dr. Mahathir. I therefore suggest that you read the following articles before you see the edited film. You may want to ask questions and write your comments on the subject. Thank you.
