YOURSAY ‘Instead of showing us the money, show how the emails were tampered.’

Najib vows action against Sarawak Report
          
Negarawan: Eventually, the international financial market experts can decide for themselves if the evidence from Sarawak Report is more credible than the claims by 1MDB and PM Najib Razak.                                                                                     
The plunging ringgit and foreign investments are clear signs that the international markets are fast losing trust and confidence in the Umno government. The spate of corruption reports committed by Umno agencies around the world, including the recent Mara corruption case in Australia, further reinforce the suspicion.

If indeed 1MDB was managed with prudence and integrity, all allegations against it could have been easily demolished two years ago.

However, the constantly delayed financial audit reports, deep discrepancies in its accounts, and conflicting and suspicious statements from the 1MDB management and the Umno government, only heighten the rakyat's fear that 1MDB is hiding many things.

The arrest of alleged whistleblower Xavier Andre Justo in Thailand has no bearing on the issues surrounding 1MDB, and should not be used as a cover for the lost billions.

Vijay47: When the prime minister gets tough and rolls up his sleeves like Wanita Umno chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil did, the nation cannot help but roll its eyes and rally around him.

Yes, Najib, take Sarawak Report to the courts and the cleaners, sue their pants off. And to show that you mean business, sue them for every statement they made which put you, Umno and 1MDB in poor light.

We are right behind you, now that the ‘Empire Strikes Back’. But a word to the wise, be cautious, very cautious about the ‘Phantom Menace’ far, far away.

Malaysia Ku: We are waiting with bated breath to see what "action" Najib is going to take against Sarawak Report.

His hound dog, the home minister, has already made his usual "threatening" moves. This is indeed comical if not for the fact that this man is the PM.

Saphire: Good news. At long last our PM has awakened from his hibernation. Sarawak Report is saying, “Bring it on!”

And make sure that you are the key witness and subject yourself to all their questions. Don't ‘cabut’ (run away) again, okay?

Ib: Anybody with common sense can see that the Thailand story is just a tactic to buy time. Is our police so ‘bodoh’ (stupid) that they cannot prove the emails shown by the media is false, if they are indeed false?

1MDB would have the true and original mail. How can Putrajaya still hope to con the rakyat by saying, ‘Wait for the Thailand investigation’?

If 1MDB has no problems, why sell land to Tabung Haji? Why pass the power plant project back to Tenaga? Why borrow money from Abu Dhabi to pay the consortium of bankers?

It’s sad that our leaders are making themselves look idiotic.

Rick Teo: Instead of showing us the money, please show us how the emails were tampered with. Nobody can blackmail with false documents. The documents must be authentic.

That's why PetroSaudi International (PSI) paid Justo nearly RM15 million when he left the company.

Som Chai: The man was charged by Thai police for blackmailing. I did not see anywhere in the report that he was charged for disseminating false information.

Blackmailing can happen only when there is something true, which a particular party does not wish the public to know. This probe over ‘false’ 1MDB information looks like an attempt to throw a smoke bomb.

Odin Tajué: Around six weeks ago, Sarawak Report issued its challenge to any party that disagreed with its reports on the 1MDB grand scam to sue it.

No one has had any bollocks to take up the challenge. A few days ago, it issued the same challenge again. If you are sure of your stand, why have you not taken up the challenge?

Why wait for the Thai authorities to complete their investigation? Do it now.

Firestone: PM, yes, please sue. Just remember you have to answer when they ask you "where is the desalination plants?", "where is the oil and gas concessions?” and last but not least, "where are the units in BSI Bank Singapore?"

Hplooi: Taking action means using Sedition Act - no recourse, no right of reply, no representation.

The balaclava-clad brigade will be mobilised and anyone associated with Sarawak Report in Malaysia will be hearing that knock on the door at some unearthly hour. But let's see him 'take action' in the London courts.

The trouble is, after 50 years of never ending affirmative actions, it is averred that the common Malays (the majority voters in this country) cannot understand complex issues such as 1MDB, and yet hudud is dear to their hearts.

And that to me shows the utter failure of the ‘Never Ending Policy’.
Ipohcrite: Can we hold our PM, Najib, to his promise to take action against Sarawak Report after the Thai police have finished their investigations on Justo?

I, for one, am not holding my breath, judging by his Nato (no action, talk only) track record. -Mkini
