Former PPBM member questions Dr M, Kadir Jasin over billion ringgit Realmild shares


(MMO) – Former Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) founding member, Anina Saadudin again questioned how veteran newsman Datuk A. Kadir Jasin and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad could afford to purchase shares in Realmild Sdn Bhd back in the year 2000.

In a Facebook post yesterday, she said that it would have costed ‘billions of ringgit’ for the duo to be able to purchase 30 and 70 per cent of Realmild shares.

Realmild is a private entity which once controlled stakes in New Straits Times Bhd and TV3.

On February 10, Anina posted a video on Facebook to raise this issue and laid out three questions for Kadir to respond to.

She asked in the video: “How did you get the money to purchase the 30 per cent of shares? What happened to the billions in profit after selling off your shares? Is it true that Dr Mahathir owned 70 per cent of the shares through a trust deed held by a law firm?”

Anina went on to say that the purchase illustrated that the duo had a huge amount of money in their personal accounts, possibly on behalf of the party, but they criticised Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak for a similar scandal.

“The main issue of the narrative is how Kadir and Dr Mahathir at that time could hold so much money in their personal accounts but not Najib Razak,” she asked.

After the first posting on February 10, yesterday was the third time Anina went on Facebook to publicly seek clarification from Kadir.

She added her questions are also reinforced by a statement made by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in an Umno Supreme Council session on September 9, 2015 where he admitted a special presidential fund exists in the party.

Anina said the video of him admitting to it had gone viral on social media for the past three years but Muhyiddin had never confirmed nor denied it.

“If the special presidential fund does exist, then what was the point behind my civil suit against Najib on August 28, 2015?

“I would like to stress that 12 days after I filed for the civil suit, Muhyiddin came out with the confession,” she said referring to her 2015 civil suit against Najib over the political fund which was struck out by the High Court.

“Does it mean that issues regarding the political donations in Najib’s personal account that were publicised were an attempt at toppling the Umno president?” she further questioned.

Anina said she hoped her questions would be answered with clarity and honesty soon.

On Sept 16 last year, Anina quit PPBM after helping found the party for the reason that its leader could not take criticisms.
