Kit Siang needs more tuition from Tony Pua
Salleh Said Keruak
Today Lim Kit Siang asked me to take tuition from Tony Pua to improve my knowledge on financial matters, “as a little knowledge is dangerous”, Kit Siang said. I take it Kit Siang has himself been tutored by Tony, whom he seems to regard as a financial guru.
What Kit Siang listed down in his blog are merely the operational issues involved in doing business. Companies raise funds from various sources to buy assets and do business. That is quite normal unless the company starts business with a huge paid up capital. And in 1MDB’s case the start up capital was only RM1 million.
The issue here is did 1MDB physically lose RM42 billion like what has been alleged? Tun Dr Mahathir said RM42 billion has lesap or disappeared into thin air. This would mean 1MDB has nothing to show for it. That is not true because 1MDB has RM51 billion worth of assets to show for it plus ongoing development for the next couple of decades.
