Anwar: I’m not jealous of Paris Hilton but 1MDB has no record
Malaysia Chronicle
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim blasted Prime Minister Najib Razak for entrusting an obscure business entity 1 Malaysia Development Berhad to oversee the RM26 billion Kuala Lumpur International Financial District.
“I’m not jealous of Jho Low spending time with Paris Hilton, but the fact is that upon checking with the companies commission, 1MDB has no business address and no appointed auditor. How can the government approve such a company to take on a project of such national importance? What is the prime minister’s interest in this?” Anwar asked in his debate speech on Budget 2011 on Monday.
He was referring to 27-year Penang millionaire Jho Low, who has shocked the nation with his extravagant entertainment of Hollywood socialite Paris Hilton.
The Rosmah connection
During his debate speech on Budget 2011, Anwar pointed out that 1MDB was barely a year old and has no track record to prove that it is capable of handling the mega-project.
Anwar reinforced his arguments by reminding the House that the company was linked to millionaire Low Taek Jho, often referred to as Jho Low and that its background was suspicious.
