INTEGRITI PM TERHAKIS AKIBAT SKANDAL RASUAH: PANGGIL SEGERA SIDANG TERGEMPAR PARLIMEN

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (KEADILAN) memandang serius kecaman masyarakat antarabangsa terhadap kredibiliti Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak, berikutan kegagalan beliau memberikan penjelasan mengena ‘derma’ sebanyak AS$700 juta (RM2.6 bilion) yang diterima dalam akaun peribadi Presiden Umno itu.


Minggu ini, beberapa badan dunia yang terlibat dalam membanteras rasuah pada Persidangan Antarabangsa Pencegahan Rasuah (IACC) ke-16 di Putrajaya, mengkritik kegagalan PM dan Kerajaan Malaysia dalam menangani gejala rasuah.

KEADILAN berasa gusar apabila Pengerusi Transparency International (TI) Jose Ugaz menggambarkan sumbangan itu sebagai satu kes rasuah dahsyat, yang boleh memberi kesan kepada hak asasi manusia. Naib Pengerusi TI, Elena Panfilova menegaskan sokongan badan antarabangsa itu terhadap Perhimpunan Bersih4 yang turun ke jalanan bagi mendesak PM menjelaskan mengapa dana sebesar itu masuk ke dalam akaun peribadi beliau.

Manakala Cobus de Swardt daripada Transparency International-Afrika Selatan mendakwa Najib tidak boleh berdiam diri jika beliau mahu meyakinkan dunia, terutama pelabur, untuk membuat pelaburan di Malaysia. Turuk mengkritik PM juga adalah Setiausaha Agung TI, Salil Shetty dan anggota IACC, Michael Hershman.

Bagi KEADILAN, kenyataan-kenyataan ini adalah senada dengan pendirian kira-kira 500,000 rakyat Malaysia yang turun ke Dataran Merdeka pada 29 dan 30 Ogos lepas. Malah di kalangan anggota komponen BN dan dalam Umno sendiri, begitu sangsi dengan kredibiliti PM, termasuk dalam isu membabitkan 1MDB dan skandal-skandal lain.

Tindakan PM merombak Kabinet dengan memasukkan Pengerusi dan beberapa orang anggota PAC dalam kerajaan, jelas bertujuan menghalang siasatan menyeluruh dilakukan terhadap beliau.

Majoriti rakyat Malaysia, termasuk badan yang mewakili kumpulan anti-rasuah antarabangsa, mengkritik sikap berdiam diri PM terhadap dakwaan derma yang diterima beliau dalam akaun peribadinya.

KEADILAN turut sama mempersoalkan siapa yang memberikan AS$700 juta itu dan apakah tujuan derma itu?

KEADILAN mendesak supaya dipanggil suatu sidang tergempar Parlimen Malaysia dalam kadar segera, bagi membolehkan PM memberikan jawapan secara jujur kepada rakyat Malaysia apakah sebenarnya yang berlaku terhadap 1MDB dan derma RM2.6 bilion.

MEDIA STATEMENT

INTEGRITY OF PM ERODED BY CORRUPTION SCANDAL: CALL FOR EMERGENCY PARLIAMENTARY SESSION

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (KEADILAN) is extremely concerned by the international community's criticisms of Prime Minister Najib Razak's credibility following his failure to explain the USD700 million (RM2.6 billion) 'donation' that was transferred into the Umno President's personal account.

This week, several international organizations involved in combatting corruption had criticized the PM and Malaysian Government during the 16th International Anti-Corruption Conference in Putrajaya for their failure to tackle corruption.

KEADILAN is deeply concerned when the Chairman of Transparency International (TI), Jose Ugaz described the financial transaction as a major corruption case that has an impact on human rights. TI Vice-Chair, Elena Panfilova expressed the organization's support for Bersih4 which gathered to pressure the PM to explain why such a large amount of money was transferred into his personal account.

Furthermore, Cobus de Swardt of TI-South Africa said that Najib cannot stay silent if he wanted to allay fears, especially among investors who are keen on investing in Malaysia. TI Secretary General, Salil Shetty and IACC member, Micharl Hershman also criticized the PM.

For KEADILAN, these statements are in line with the sentiments of some 500,000 Malaysians who descended on Dataran Merdeka on 29 and 30 August. In fact amongst BN component parties and even in Umno itself there are persistent doubts on the credibility of the PM, including on the 1MDB issue and other scandals.

The PM's decision to execute the recent Cabinet reshuffle, which saw the PAC Chairman and several PAC members being brought into the government, clearly is designed to stop a full investigation into this matter from taking place.

The majority of Malaysians including international anti-corruption organizations criticize the PM's continued silence on the "donation" allegation.

KEADILAN also asks who was this generous donor who donated the USD700 million, and for what purpose?

Therefore KEADILAN urges that an emergency Parliamentary session be held immediately in order to allow the PM an opportunity to give an honest account to the Malaysian people on what has actually happened with 1MDB and the RM2.6 billion donation.
