Dr Mahathir sad, alleged PM had to admit lying

SHAH ALAM - Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad expressed his grief when forced to acknowledge the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak lie in the case of money 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

Through recent posts on his blog, today, Dr Mahathir list two lie which he claimed was done by Najib.

"It is very sad when I found I could not avoid the fact that the Prime Minister lied. In the case of 1MDB money alleged to have been brought back from the Cayman Islands and stored in the Singapore bank BSI, a written reply by the Prime Minister to question the truth of Parliament do not meet at all.

"The first lie is that there is no cash 1MDB repatriation. Second, there is no cash included in the BSI bank in Singapore.

"It is clear from the amendments to the first answer, which is not a cash prize of USD 1,103 billion (RM3.6 billion), but included in the BSI bank documents (letter recognition) placed with banks. What he is not outstanding but this letter is clear is that it is not cash, "he said.

Wednesday, Najib through his written reply in Parliament to explain the remaining 1MDB investments managed by the Cayman Monetary Authority of US $ 1.1 (RM4.022) billion redeemed in the form of assets instead of cash.

According to Najib, the explanation was the amendment to the previous government responses that balance 1MDB investment funds redeemed in cash.

Touching bank BSI, Dr Mahathir raised the question of reports made to the bank the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)

"BSI Bank has stated afterwards that the document confirming the deposit made by the subsidiary 1MDB, Brazen Sky is false and not from it. It is clear that the written statement by Najib told Parliament that the documents are stored is not true.

"BSI bank has been reported to MAS 1MDB that no money deposited with it. MAS typically report this information to the National Bank.

"It is clear from the recognition that the so-called report is subject to the confidentiality of international protocols (Egmont principles of information exchange) and the requirements of confidentiality under section 10 of the AMLA. From this statement it is clear that the Bank has received the report of the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

"The purpose of concealing surely because there is something wrong or disinformation that has been done when He answered the questions that the cash has been deposited with the BSI bank in Singapore," he said.

According to Dr Mahathir, the act of concealing errors in government affairs is wrong in law but he said there is a criminal element that requires investigation and if the money was not even a trace then a legal process must be taken against all those involved.

"It is clear that in the case of cash claimed by the Prime Minister and government officials, the Central Bank and 1MDB has been brought back from the Caymans Island and stored in BSI bank in Singapore as well as amendments to the first answer that instead of cash brought back and stored in Singapore, but the documents, all of which are untrue.

"Those who make these false alarms have violated the criminal law section 218," he said.

ASB savings: Between two degrees

Decoration pictures

NEW writer recently received the 2014 Annual Report Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB). Authors often eagerly waiting for this report Bumiputera savings in ASB's proxy to the deposit savings rate in Malaysia. They are still very low invest in the units of other unit trusts.

At first glance, roughly, there was an increase in savings last year, where the average deposits increased by 13 percent since 2012, to RM15,928. In other words, over the past two years, the Fund has increased the savings of RM1,831.

However, when examined more closely, there are significant disparities. If you look at savings of 72 percent shareholder ASB bottom, which totaled 6.16 million depositors, which analyzed data very sad.

In fact, the majority of the natives have only an average savings of RM536 in the ASB last year. This is the reality. Not even 1,000. Never mind a little, it was very short, from RM611 in 2012.

Compared with an average total deposits showed an increase, the lowest class of storage is not increased, but decreased by 12.3 percent since 2012.

Due to the small amount of savings, the average dividend received by this group was also low at only RM45 last year, or RM3.75 per month. The total is only enough to eat bread rolled and teh tarik once a month.

This is in contrast to the rich, or more accurately, the top group comprises 0.2 per cent of shareholders ASB.

Compared with the majority of savers who have only RM536, the average savings elite, or more precisely, 16.928 savers, last year was RM745,038, or about 1,400 times that of those under 72 per cent.

In fact, the average savings increased by 7.7 percent from 2012 to 2014. The dividends received by them is also good. Armed with high initial investments, the group scored an average of 0.2 per cent dividend of RM63,328 or any number of RM5,277 per month.

In other words, the dividends received for last year would fund children's education in private universities or in cash to buy luxury motorcycles Ducati Scrambler.

Does the storage gap has widened or contracted? Obviously, it has widened. In the author's view, the cost of living is increasing, and the average salary is low, the main constraints to increase the number of Bumiputera majority of their savings.

When viewed from this angle, the launch of the GSP Scheme 2 last year was less effective strategy, only benefits the rich. Issues to be addressed are the financial constraints rather than a lack of places or platform to save.

It should be noted, the issue of lack of savings, and widening the gap, not just focus on indigenous people, but also occurs in other communities. In fact, the income gap widest in Bumiputera not, but in the non-Bumiputera, especially the Chinese.

The PNB efforts, through Sunday Trust, for example, to persuade the natives to save money in a trust scheme is strongly supported. At present, more than half the natives did not have a savings account at ASB, the number of very sad.

This can be boosted if there is awareness of savings and investment can be fostered at a young age and in school. PNB also urged authorities to review the requirements complicate savers withdraw their savings, but at the end of the year.

It is important to ensure that depositors receive nominal yield high dividends. The author understands that the majority of savers who make salary deductions will often remove their savings back in the early months.

This may be due to lack of cash for monthly expenses, or no penalty for making withdrawals. It's different when compared with other savings schemes impose a service charge for each output. Production appropriate mechanisms should be reviewed to ensure that the majority of savings increased.

We do not want a situation where the gap between Bumiputera widening, making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
