Soh Chee Wen was PKR’s and Anwar Ibrahim’s financier
Oh, yes, and as the PKR chap said, John Soh was also business partners with Tun Daim Zainuddin, while at the same time he was financing Anwar, PKR, PKR officials and PI Bala. And both Daim and Anwar knew about this ‘double-role’ that John Soh was playing.

I came across the Malaysiakini posting below and thought I could reply to the question raised by PKR student’s wing deputy chairperson Dharshinee Suresh Kumar.
John Soh Chee Wen was PKR’s and Anwar Ibrahim’s financier. The PKR headquarters building at Merchant Square, Tropicana, belongs to John Soh. Many PKR’s officers and staff such as Saifuddin Nasution were on John Soh’s payroll.
John Soh not only gave PKR, Anwar Ibrahim, and many PKR people, millions every month, he also supported PI Bala when he stayed in India. John Soh paid for PI Bala’s house, car and children’s schooling in an international school.

John Soh was also supposed to finance the “September 16” power grab in 2008. Anwar was going to pay 30 Barisan Nasional members of parliament RM30 million each or RM900 million in total for them to cross over.
Unfortunately, Anwar could not get 30 BN MPs. He got less than 20. So the “September 16” power grab had to be aborted, saving John Soh RM900 million.
The Special Branch has a complete dossier on John Soh and everything I said above has been confirmed by the Special Branch in their report to then Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. Maybe PKR can ask the Special Branch to say something about it.

(Malaysiakini) – PKR Student’s wing deputy chairperson Dharshinee Suresh Kumar urged Muda central executive committee member Dian Lee to clarify Clear Water Development Sdn Bhd’s role in Blumont Group Ltd, which was among the firms in Singapore’s penny stock controversy.
“The rakyat needs answers,” Dharshinee said on Twitter. Lee (above), the daughter of tycoon Lee Kim Yew, was not charged with any crime.
It’s been 10 hours since, so anyone from @partimuda or @iamdianlee herself is gonna clarify on this scandal involving one of their JKEP?
Rakyat perlukan jawapan. Dia bukan sahaja anggota parti tapi mempunyai jawatan yang lumayan tinggi dalam parti jua. https://t.co/1FAw4FcXAb

On Thursday, tycoon Soh Chee Wen and his partner Quah Su-Ling were convicted by the Singapore High Court for market manipulation and cheating offences involving an elaborate scheme to manipulate the share price of Blumont Group, Asiasons Capital Ltd and LionGold Corp Ltd.
At the time of the scheme in 2013, Clear Water Development, controlled by Lee, was the second-largest shareholder in Blumont behind Neo Kim Hock, according to The Edge.
Asiasons Capital was controlled by Mohamed Azlan Hashim and Jared Lim, who is Lee’s husband.
Substantial shareholders
Among the substantial shareholders in LionGold Corp was Md Wira Dani, the son of former finance minister Daim Zainuddin.
Following an investigation by Singapore’s Commercial Affairs Department, no charges were brought against the shareholders.
Soh and Quah, however, were found guilty of 349 charges. They were accused of artificially inflating the share prices of the three companies through a network of 189 trading accounts held by 60 individuals and firms.
Their share prices eventually collapsed, wiping out S$8 billion in market value and burning retail investors.
