1MDB dares Tony Pua for ‘proof’ of wrongdoing
If Petaling Jaya Utara MP cannot provide evidence and proof on wrongdoing, he should stop making wild and unproven allegations, which are clearly politically motivated, said 1MDB.
(Free Malaysia Today) – Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua claims his “expose” will provide “clear cut evidence” of “criminal breach of trust, abetting misappropriation and embezzlement” to the investigating authorities, noted 1MDB in a statement. “These are serious criminal accusations, so we urge Pua to ‘walk the talk’ and provide his ‘clear cut evidence’ to the lawful authorities for further investigation.”
“1MDB has consistently maintained that if there is any evidence of wrongdoing, then action must be taken under the law.”
However, if Pua cannot provide such evidence, then he should stop making wild and unproven allegations, which are clearly politically motivated, said the company in its statement.
The company was referring to an “instant expert” style statement on Wednesday by Pua who, it alleged, was long on rhetoric but short on facts.
1MDB warned Pua in its statement that as evident from the stand taken by the Attorney-General’s Chambers and the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) on the company, it’s not under investigation. “The facts are as presented by the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC), via a clear and unambiguous statement issued on 13 October 2015 (www.agc.gov.my),” said the company in the statement.
