Dr M says his financial mistakes not as bad as Najib’s
Published: 7 April 2015 5:07 PM
In a rare admission of his past policy mistakes, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed conceded that he lost public money during his time as Prime Minister, but stressed that these were not as bad as the billions going missing under the current administration.
In a blog posting today, Dr Mahathir attempted to defend some of the ill-fated decisions of his 22-year administration in a bid to counter the argument that he should not criticise Najib’s policy mistakes such as the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal.
“I admit that during my time there was also loss of the country’s funds. But the public and the world knows how the money went missing,” Dr Mahathir wrote in his blog posting today.
He then went on to briefly explain some of the financial scandals of his tenure such Perwaja Steel, Bank Bumiputera Finance and the Maminco affair, which cost the country billions in losses.
“What is clear is that the country knew where the money was being invested in during my time. In business there are times when you make profits and times when you accrue losses.
“What cannot be accepted is that the money vanishes without a trace,” he wrote.
Dr Mahathir countered the argument that just like Najib and businessman Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low, he had put his own friends such as Tun Daim Zainuddin into positions of power.
“(A critic) compares Low Taek Jho and my critic of him with the criticism against me regarding Ananda Krishnan’s involvement in Petronas and the appointment of my friend Daim Zainuddin as Finance Minister. I really do not see any similarity.”
The former prime minister is facing a barrage of criticism for his unrelenting attacks against Najib and his call for the latter to resign.
However, Dr Mahathir’s own detractors have argued that he was throwing stones in glass houses as he had his own fair share of financial scandals.
In response, he said the losses suffered by Perwaja Steel and Bank Bumiputera Finance have been quantified.
He also attempted to explain the losses in the Maminco Affair.
According to blogger Dinmerican, it was the country’s attempt to corner the tin market on the London exchange, which resulted in the collapse of the price of the commodity in 1981.
“Maminco made losses because the London Metal Exchange decided that tin sold through legitimate sales and purchase agreements need not be fulfilled by supplying the metal to buyers.
“This was decided to save sellers who did not have tin. As a buyer, Malaysia suffered losses,” Dr Mahathir wrote.
He then took aim at the slide in ringgit’s value, which has dropped to six-year lows against the US dollar.
“Today the ringgit has gone down by 70 sen. Every time our currency loses value, the country, government and the people lose billions.
He compared this to his own policy of stopping the slide by pegging the ringgit at RM3.80 to a US dollar in 1998.
“But when the ringgit was saved from currency speculators, billions of government funds were preserved. Many businessmen who were nearly bankrupt were saved in 1998.
“But let’s just forget this because it happened during my time,” Dr Mahathir wrote sarcastically.
On the 1MDB deal, Dr Mahathir said no legitimate answer was given on why it had chalked up debts of RM42 billion, and why the government paid consultant Goldman Sachs a 10% commission to issue a government bond.
“1MDB is not excess fund belonging to the Government. 1MDB borrowed all its billions. Borrowed money cannot be regarded as wealth.
“So far the only asset owned by 1MDB are the pieces of land bought from the government at a price very much below market price. They have been highly revalued.
“But until they are sold, they cannot be used to pay the 42 billion the 1MDB borrowed. They cannot even pay the interest.”
He asserted that Jho Low, whose name has been tied to 1MDB’s failures was not the same as Daim, who had been formally appointed as Finance Minister.
“Who is Jho Low who has been trusted to manage billions of government money in 1MDB?
“Where did the hundreds of ringgit come from to buy property and invest in the film 'The Wolf of Wall Street', by Riza Aziz, Najib’s stepson?
“I am not accusing Najib. I am only asking as the billions in debt will in the end be shouldered by the people. These have not been answered by those who criticise me and who say I did the same things.” – April 7, 2015.

TIDAK WAJAR MINTA TOLONG DR MAHATHIR
Apr7th
2015 Leave a Comment Written by Che Det
1. Saya tidak tawar untuk menolong sesiapa untuk mengatasi apa-apa masalah.
2. Dalam blog saya, saya tidak menuduh Dato Seri Najib melakukan apa-apa jenayah. Itu boleh ditentukan jika polis dapat membuat siasatan. Yang saya pohon ialah jawapan kepada soalan-soalan yang disuarakan oleh ramai rakyat.
3. Saya akui dimasa saya juga ada kehilangan wang negara. Tetapi rakyat dan dunia tahu bagaimana wang ini hilang. Kerugian yang dialami oleh Perwaja diketahui. Demikian juga dengan salah urus Bank Bumiputra oleh pengurusannya. Maminco rugi kerana London Metal Exchange memutuskan bahawa bijih timah yang dijual mengikut perjanjian jual beli yang sah tidak perlu ditunaikan dengan membekal logam berkenaan kepada pembeli. Ini diputuskan untuk menyelamat penjual yang tidak ada timah. Malaysia sebagai pembeli mengalami kerugian.
4. Saya ingin penerangan berkenaan bagaimana Konsortium Perkapalan dan Forex merugikan Kerajaan dan bagaimana saya terlibat dalam perkara ini.
5. Yang nyata ialah negara tahu dimana pergi wang yang dilabur semasa saya. Dalam perniagaan adakala untung, adakala rugi. Yang tidak boleh diterima ialah duit itu hilang tanpa diketahui kemana.
6. Hari ini nilai Ringgit jatuh sebanyak 70 sen. Tiap satu Ringgit jatuhnya matawang kita, negara, Kerajaan dan rakyat kerugian berbillion. Kejatuhan sebanyak 70 sen pun merugikan berbillion Ringgit juga.
7. Tetapi apabila Ringgit diselamatkan dari penyangak matawang, berbillion Ringgit duit Kerajaan diselamatkan. Dan ramai peniaga yang muflis dan hampir muflis terselamat pada tahun 1998. Lupakan sahajalah peristiwa ini kerana ia berlaku dizaman saya.
8. Tetapi dalam kes 1MDB, tidak ada jawapan yang munasabah berkenaan 42 billion Ringgit yang dihutang. Kenapa bayar lebih 10% komisyen kepada Goldman Sachs hanya kerana menjual bond atau membuat pinjaman bagi Kerajaan. Kenapa faedah 5.9% dikenakan, satu faedah yang amat tinggi.
9. Disoal juga peranaan Jho Low. Siapa dianya yang diberi kepercayaan mengendali wang 1MDB berbillion-billion ringgit milik syarikat Kerajaan. Tidak ada persamaan antara Jho Low dengan Daim yang saya lantik sebagai Menteri.
10. Dimana datangnya ratusan million Ringgit untuk membeli bangunan-bangunan dan melabur dalam filem “The Wolf of Wall Street” oleh Riza Aziz, anak tiri Dato Seri Najib.
11. Saya bukan tuduh Dato Seri Najib. Saya bertanya beberapa soalan kerana hutang berbillion ini akan ditanggung akhirnya oleh rakyat. Jawapan tidak juga diberi oleh mereka yang mengecam saya selain daripada berkata saya punyai kepentingan atau saya juga buat kerja yang sama.
12. Apabila saya letak jawatan satu usaha dibuat untuk mendapat bukti saya lesapkan duit Kerajaan. Kalau hendak buat siasatan lagi, saya tidak ada halangan.
Dahulu sokong, kenapa tidak sekarang?
13. Pembaca portal “Free Malaysia Today”, Izack Chin bertanya kenapa saya dahulu sokong Dato Seri Najib supaya mengganti Tun Abdullah. Pada masa itu Najib ternampak bersih. Sekarang ada syak wasangka dikalangan orang ramai yang tidak terjawab..
14. Sudah lapan tahun berlalu kenapa bangkit perkara ini? Ini bukan masalah lapan tahun dahulu. Yang saya soal ialah berkenaan masalah hari ini – masalah nyawa dua orang anggota polis yang dihukum bunuh. Amatlah tidak adil jika mereka dibunuh sedangkan mereka sebagai pegawai rendah polis hanya mengikut perintah.
15. Saya hanya tanya berkenaan siapa yang mengeluar perintah kepada Sirul dan rakannya.
Temasek and 1MDB
16. Salleh Said Kruak compares Low Taek Jho and my critic of him with the criticism against me regarding Ananda Krishan’s involvement in Petronas and the appointment of my friend Daim Zainuddin as Finance Minister. I really do not see any similarity.
17. Ananda Krishnan bought the race course in Jalan Ampang. He could develop this prime land by himself. But he decided to sell one half share of the 100 acres land to Petronas and developed it together. Later he sold his tower to Petronas. What is wrong with that? Petronas made tons of money from the project.
18. There is no similarity at all between Temasek of Singapore and 1MDB. Temasek did not lose money but money borrowed by 1MDB has disappeared.
19. 1MDB is not excess fund belonging to the Government. 1MDB borrowed all its billions. Borrowed money cannot be regarded as wealth. So far the only asset owned by 1MDB are the pieces of land bought from the Government at a price very much below market price. They have been highly revalued. But until they are sold, they cannot be used to pay the 42 billion the 1MDB borrowed. They cannot even pay the interest.
20. As for the comment that it is unfair for me to ask Najib to step down as he was elected through democratic process, I would like to remind Datuk Jamal (Md Yunos) that Tun Abdullah was also elected but Najib was partly instrumental in asking him to step down.
21. With regard to my political agenda, what is wrong with that? A Prime Minister must be seen to be clean and able to explain and answer questions and to be good for the country. Najib cannot even answer and has not answered any question, beyond exercising elegant silence or saying the allegations are not true.
22. There is also an attempt to divert attention from my question by saying that I am siding with the opposition, even that I have become leader of the opposition.
23. If saying something that is similar to the opposition makes me aligned with the opposition, then Najib must be more with the opposition than me because he agreed with the opposition to abolish the ISA, the prevention of crime law and ignore the NEP. He also wanted to abolish the Sedition Act as demanded by the opposition. If UMNO did not object the Sedition Act would have been abolished. So is Najib a member of the opposition?
24. I am still an UMNO member. My disagreement is with the leader, not with the party. I criticised the leader, not the party. It is simply because I want to see the party win. It will not win if Najib is the leader.
25. I had great hopes when Najib took over from Abdullah.
26. But he did even worse than Abdullah, losing more badly in Selangor where he was the Head of UMNO. Thre are so many scandals surrounding him now. His popularity is now even lower than when he led the BN in 2013. In a number of constituencies the margins won by Barisan Nasional (BN) are very narrow.
27. Sabah and Sarawak, are now no longer safe, no longer BN’s fixed deposits.
28. Is it too absurd to predict defeat for the BN in 2018.
29. As for my sons, if I had wanted them to succeed in politics I could have done so when I was Prime Minister. If they succeed it will be by their own effort. If the people don’t like them they will not get this support.

Saya kritik pemimpin, bukan parti, kata Dr Mahathir
Published: 7 April 2015 4:15 PM
Selepas dikritik kerana “menyerang” Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkata kritikan itu ditujukan kepada Najib dan bukannya Umno.
“Saya masih ahli Umno. Saya tidak bersetuju dengan pemimpin, bukannya parti. Saya mengkritik pemimpin, bukannya parti. Ia mudah kerana saya mahu melihat kemenangan parti.
“Tiada kemenangan jika Najib memimpin,” kata Dr Mahathir menerusi blognya chedet.cc hari ini.
Perdana menteri paling lama memimpin negara itu dikecam pemimpin dan penyokong Umno kerana serangan terbukanya kepada Najib.
Kritikannya terbaru terhadap Najib ialah Umno dan Barisan Nasional (BN) akan kalah dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang jika Najib tidak meletak jawatan sebagai perdana menteri.
Dr Mahathir berkata Najib lebih teruk daripada Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, perdana menteri kelima yang dibantunya turun untuk memberi laluan kepada Najib.
“Saya berharapan besar apabila Najib menggantikan Abdullah, tetapi dia lakukan lebih teruk dari Abdullah dengan kekalahan Selangor yang dikepalainya menerusi Umno. Banyak skandal berlegar di sekelilingnya.
“Popularitinya lebih rendah berbanding beliau mengetuai BN pada 2013. Berdasarkan bilangan kawasan yang dimenangi BN, kini amat sedikit.
“Sabah dan Sarawak kini tidak lagi selamat, tidak lagi deposit tetap BN. Adakah tidak masuk akal menjangkakan BN kalah pada 2018?” soal Dr Mahathir.
Beliau mempertahankan gesaan agar Najib berundur, dan mendakwa ia juga sebahagian instrumental menggesa Abdullah berundur.
“Terdapat komen berkata tidak adil bagi saya menggesa Najib berundur kerana beliau dipilih melalui proses demokrasi, saya mahu katakan Tun Abdullah juga dipilih tetapi Najib sebahagian instrumental menggesanya untuk berundur.”
Dr Mahathir pada minggu lalu menyenaraikan pelbagai tuduhan yang dibuat terhadap Najib dan mendakwa ia tidak cukup mendapat jawapan.
Ia termasuk pembunuhan warga Mongolia, Altantuya Shaariibuu dan dakwaan yang dibuat oleh salah seorang pembunuh dalam kes itu, Sirul Azhar Umar yang juga bekas pengiring Najib.
Berdasarkan dakwaan Sirul yang bertindak di bawah arahan kerana membunuh Altantuya, Dr Mahathir berkata tuduhan itu perlu disiasat kerana Sirul bekerja dengan Najib.
Beliau turut membangkitkan isu syarikat pelaburan strategik, 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) yang mana dananya digunakan membeli tanah kerajaan di bawah harga pasaran dan urusan berkaitan syarikat minyak, PetroSaudi International.
Kemampuan anak tiri Najib, Riza Aziz membeli hartanah mewah di New York melalui ahli perniagaan Low Taek Jho turut dipersoalkan Dr Mahathir.
Hari ini, Dr Mahathir berkata tuduhan itu masih belum dijawab.
“Seorang perdana menteri mesti kelihatan bersih dan boleh menjawab persoalan serta melakukan yang terbaik untuk negara,” katanya. – 7 April, 2015.
