Oleh – Editor
Selepas seorang bekas Menteri disiasat oleh SPRM, spekulasi mengenai kemungkinan semua nama dalam senarai Pandora Papers akan disiasat semula mula kedengaran.
Semalam, Menteri Di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Dato Seri Azalina Othman menyatakan siasatan berkaitan masih berlangsung, cuma pihak berkuasa memerlukan informasi tambahan dari luar bagi melengkapkan siasatan.
“Apart from the MACC, other agencies are also involved in the investigations, including Bank Negara Malaysia, Inland Revenue Board, and the police,” she said in a Parliamentary written reply. – NST – 15/2/2023
Dalam laporan HYPE – 5/10/2021 menamakan Tengku Zafrul turut tersenarai dalam Pandora Papers selain Tun Daim Zainuddin bersama beberapa nama lain dari Malaysia.
Tengku Zafrul dinamakan sebagai Pengarah Capital Investment Band (Labuan) Ltd. Bagaimanapun, beliau mengesahkan tidak lagi memegang jawatan tersebut tetapi tiada tarikh beliau meletakkan jawatan selaku Pengarah.
Parents of Jho Low, Larry Low Hock Ping and Goh Gaik Ewe, were linked with the Coswell Corporation and Strategic Equities Ltd. Coswell purportedly was involved in property investments in London via Trident Trust (BVI) in 1991. The investments had an asset value of US$2 million while Strategic Equities had shares in Frencken Group Ltd (Singaporean industrial and precision machine manufacturer) worth US$5 million. However, both Larry and Goh were listed as clients of Trident Trust despite their links to the 1MDB scandal. – HYPE
Pandora Papers telah mengejutkan banyak pihak apabila ia membongkar terdapat akaun luar negara dengan jumlah jutaan ringgit milik pemimpin politik dan ahli perniagaan Malaysia.
Bekas Menteri Kewangan berusia 84 tahun yang diambil keterangannya oleh SPRM dipercayai menyembunyikan kekayaannya dan keluarga dalam akaun di luar negara.
Kekayaan bekas Menteri itu pula dikatakan ada hubungkait dengan seorang Perdana Menteri menerusi pelbagai projek kerajaan samada dianugerahkan terus tanpa melalui prosedur yang ditetapkan.
SPRM turut mengesahkan akan memanggil seorang anak bekas Perdana Menteri bagi menyiasat perkara tersebut.
Tun Daim Zainuddin has claimed his dealings are legitimate. The former finance minister had made it clear that he has always paid taxes for all investments and properties in any jurisdiction. However, his family and known associates jointly hold companies and trusts worth at least £25 million (about RM141 million). Additionally, his family is heavily involved in several offshore companies which hold properties in London. Daim claims the trusts are part of “estate planning”. – HYPE
