Pua wants answers on charts exposed by AG
(FMT) – The expose by Attorney-General Mohd Apandi Ali last week on Tuesday, inadvertent or otherwise, uncovered a whole web of intrigue involving a myriad of companies related in one way or another to 1MDB and Penangite Jho Low, stressed Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua in a statement. “It has raised new questions over the entire episode.”
“These questions need to be answered.”
Pua, who is also DAP National Publicity Secretary, has five questions for starters . Why did SRC International advance RM140 million to Putra Perdana?; Who authorized the advances?; Why did Tabung Haji (TH) acquire 30 per cent in Putrajaya Perdana?; How much did it pay for the stake?; and Who are the ultimate owners of Putrajaya Perdana?
Most crucially, asked Pua, did TH bail out Putrajaya Perdana to enable the latter to repay the RM140 million advance from SRC International. “TH, SRC International, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak as the Finance Minister and Apandi Ali cannot continue to feign ignorance over the entire ugly scandal.”
TH invested an undisclosed sum in Putrajaya Perdana despite the fact that the latter failed to submit its annual audited accounts to the Companies Commission since December 2013, added Pua. “Soon after the 30 per cent acquisition by TH, Putra Perdana Development refunded the RM140 million to Putra Perdana Construction, which in turn refunded the money to SRC International on 12 December 2014.”
