Minister in the Prime Minister\u2019s Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamad Yakcop must come clean on the Bank Negara forex scandal and fully account for the losses of RM15.8 billion from 1992-3 but estimated to reach RM30 billion. According to the Bank Negara\u2019S financial report, Bank Negara recorded losses of RM10.1 billion in 1992 and RM5.7 billion in 1993. <\/p>\n
However when replying to my question in Parliament 2 weeks ago, Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Donald Lim only admitted to the RM 5.7 billion in losses in 1993. This gives rise to question about the RM10.1 billion losses in 1992 or even a total loss of up to RM30 billion as former Bank Negara senior officer Dr Rosli Yakcop who had worked under Tan Sri Nor had estimated. <\/p>\n
Tan Sri Nor was identified as the principal forex trader for Bank Negara with huge bets of hundreds of millions of US$ at single bets. So far he has refused to explain his role or why he gambled with the nation\u2019s treasury so recklessly in the largest financial scandal in Malaysian history. <\/p>\n
At a time when the Malaysian government is condemning forex currency speculators like George Soros, why is the Malaysian government practicing double-standards by protecting Malaysian forex currency speculators like Tan Sri Nor Mohamad Yakcop. Worse the Malaysian government is sending the wrong message by not only failing to punish those responsible for such huge losses or demanding full accountability but even promoting forex currency speculators like Tan Sri Nor to a full Cabinet Minister. <\/p>\n
With the coming general elections, Tan Sri Nor has to fully explain this financial scandal as public interest demands that voters be fully informed what type of person or government that they are voting for when we suffered the largest financial losses in Malaysian history. Failing to do so would show that the BN government is only giving lip service to public accountability and transparency.<\/p>\n

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP dan Ahli Parlimen Bagan Lim Guan Eng pada 8.10.2012 di Kuala Lumpur<\/p>\n
Tan Sri Nor Mohamad Yakcop harus tampil menjelaskan Skandal Bank Negara (Forex) dan menanggung sepenuhnya kerugian sebanyak RM15.8 bilion dari tahun 1992-3 tetapi dianggarkan mencecah RM30 bilion.<\/strong><\/p>\n Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Mohamad Yakcop harus tampil menjelaskan skandal Bank Negara Forex dan menanggung sepenuhnya kerugian sebanyak RM15.8 billion dari tahun 1992-3 tetapi dianggarkan mencecah RM30 bilion. Menurut laporan kewangan Bank Negara, Bank Negara mencatatkan kerugian sebanyak RM10.1 bilion pada tahun 1992 dan RM5.7 bilion pada tahun 1993.<\/p>\n Walau bagaimanapun, ketika menjawab soalan saya di Parlimen dua minggu lepas, Timbalan Menteri Kewangan Datuk Donald Lim hanya mengakui bahawa hanya RM5.7 bilion yang hilang pada tahun 1993. Ini menimbulkan persoalan berhubung kerugian RM10.1 bilion pada tahun 1992 biarpun jumlah kerugian mencecah RM30 bilion seperti yang dianggarkan oleh bekas pegawai kanan Bank Negara Dr Rosli Yakcop yang pernah bekerja di bawah Tan Sri Nor.<\/p>\n Tan Sri Nor telah dikenal pasti sebagai watak utama dalam perniagaan forex untuk Bank Negara dengan pertaruhan besar melibatkan beratus- ratus juta US$ untuk setiap lot pertaruhan. Sehingga kini beliau enggan menjelaskan penglibatan beliau atau mengapa beliau memperjudikan dana negara dengan begitu tidak bertanggungjawab sehingga menyebabkan skandal kewangan terbesar dalam sejarah Malaysia.<\/p>\n Sementara Kerajaan Malaysia mengutuk spekulator pertukaran mata wang forex seperti George Soros, mengapa Kerajaan Malaysia mengamalkan dwi-standard dengan melindungi spekulator mata wang forex Malaysia seperti Tan Sri Nor Mohamad Yakcop? Lebih teruk lagi, Kerajaan Malaysia menghantar mesej yang salah dengan bukan sahaja gagal menghukum mereka yang bertanggungjawab atas kerugian besar atau menuntut kebertanggungjawaban sepenuhnya, tetapi menaikkan pangkat spekulator mata wang forex seperti Tan Sri Nor Mohamad Yakcop kepada jawatan Menteri Kabinet.<\/p>\n Dengan pilihan raya umum yang akan datang, Tan Sri Nor harus tampil menjelaskan sepenuhnya skandal kewangan ini demi kepentingan awam di mana pengundi perlu tahu apa jenis orang atau kerajaan yang rakyat undi apabila kita mengalami kerugian kewangan yang terbesar dalam sejarah Malaysia. Kegagalan untuk berbuat demikian akan menunjukkan bahawa Kerajaan BN hanya berpura-pura dalam komitmennya terhadap kebertanggungjawaban awam dan ketelusan.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n ——Mandarin Version ——<\/p>\n \u6c11\u4e3b\u884c\u52a8\u515a\u79d8\u4e66\u957f\u517c\u5cc7\u773c\u533a\u56fd\u4f1a\u8bae\u5458\u6797\u51a0\u82f1\u4e8e2012\u5e7410\u67088\u65e5\u5728\u5409\u9686\u5761\u53d1\u8868\u58f0\u660e\uff1a<\/p>\n \u4e39\u65af\u91cc\u8bfa\u83ab\u54c8\u672b\u5fc5\u987b\u89e3\u91ca\u6e05\u695a\u56fd\u5bb6\u94f6\u884c\u5916\u6c47\u4ea4\u6613\u4e11\u95fb\uff0c \u540c\u65f6\u5bf9\u4e8e\u5916\u6c47\u4ea4\u6613\u57281992\u5e74\u81f31993\u671f\u95f4\u5bfc\u81f4\u6211\u56fd\u635f\u5931158\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u751a\u81f3300\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u7684\u4e11\u95fb\u8d1f\u8d77\u8d23\u4efb\u3002<\/strong><\/p>\n \u9996\u76f8\u7f72\u90e8\u957f\u4e39\u65af\u91cc\u8bfa\u83ab\u54c8\u672b\u8036\u8c37\u5fc5\u987b\u89e3\u91ca\u6e05\u695a\u56fd\u5bb6\u94f6\u884c\u5916\u6c47\u4ea4\u6613\u4e11\u95fb\uff0c \u540c\u65f6\u5bf9\u4e8e\u5916\u6c47\u4ea4\u6613\u57281992\u5e74\u81f31993\u671f\u95f4\u5bfc\u81f4\u6211\u56fd\u635f\u5931158\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u751a\u81f3\u9ad8\u8fbe300\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u7684\u4e11\u95fb\u8d1f\u8d77\u8d23\u4efb\u3002\u6839\u636e\u56fd\u5bb6\u94f6\u884c\u91d1\u878d\u62a5\u544a\uff0c\u56fd\u5bb6\u94f6\u5931\u57281992\u5e74\u635f\u5931101\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\uff0c\u57281993\u5e74\u635f\u5931\u4e8657\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u3002<\/p>\n \u4f46\u662f\uff0c\u4e24\u4e2a\u661f\u671f\u524d\u5728\u56de\u7b54\u6211\u7684\u56fd\u4f1a\u95ee\u9898\u65f6\uff0c\u526f\u8d22\u653f\u90e8\u957f\u62ff\u7763\u6797\u7965\u624d\u53ea\u627f\u8ba4\u57281993\u5e74\u635f\u5931\u4e8657\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u3002\u8fd9\u8ba9\u4eba\u6000\u75911992\u5e74\u635f\u5931\u7684101\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\uff0c\u6216\u751a\u81f3\u662f\u5982\u524d\u56fd\u5bb6\u94f6\u884c\u9ad8\u7ea7\u5b98\u5458\u7f57\u65af\u91cc\uff08\u66fe\u4e3a\u4e39\u65af\u91cc\u8bfa\u83ab\u54c8\u672b\u8036\u8c37\u7684\u4e0b\u5c5e\uff09\u6240\u4f30\u8ba1\u7684300\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u3002<\/p>\n \u4e39\u65af\u91cc\u8bfa\u88ab\u786e\u8ba4\u4e3a\u56fd\u5bb6\u94f6\u884c\u5916\u6c47\u4ea4\u6613\u7684\u4e3b\u8981\u7ecf\u624b\u4eba\uff0c\u4ed6\u6bcf\u573a\u4ea4\u6613\u6d89\u53ca\u6570\u989d\u9ad8\u8fbe\u6570\u4ebf\u4ee4\u5409\u7f8e\u5143\u3002\u81f3\u4eca\u4e3a\u6b62\uff0c\u4ed6\u8fd8\u4e0d\u613f\u610f\u89e3\u91ca\u4ed6\u7684\u89d2\u8272\u6216\u4ed6\u4e3a\u4ec0\u4e48\u5982\u6b64\u8f7b\u7387\u5730\u52a8\u7528\u516c\u6b3e\u4e0b\u6ce8\uff0c\u8fdb\u800c\u5f15\u53d1\u9a6c\u6765\u897f\u4e9a\u91d1\u878d\u53f2\u4e0a\u6700\u5927\u5b97\u7684\u4e11\u95fb\u3002<\/p>\n \u9a6c\u6765\u897f\u4e9a\u653f\u5e9c\u5728\u8c34\u8d23\u5982\u7d22\u7f57\u65af\u90a3\u6837\u7684\u5916\u6c47\u4ea4\u6613\u6295\u673a\u4efd\u5b50\u65f6\uff0c\u4e3a\u4ec0\u4e48\u6211\u56fd\u653f\u5e9c\u5b9e\u65bd\u53cc\u91cd\u6807\u51c6\uff0c\u4fdd\u62a4\u6211\u56fd\u7684\u5916\u6c47\u4ea4\u6613\u6295\u673a\u5206\u5b50\u5982\uff1a\u4e39\u65af\u8bfa\u83ab\u54c8\u672b\u8036\u8c37\uff1f\u66f4\u7cdf\u7684\u662f\uff0c\u9a6c\u6765\u897f\u4e9a\u653f\u5e9c\u8f6c\u8fbe\u4e86\u9519\u8bef\u7684\u8baf\u606f\uff0c\u4e0d\u53ea\u6ca1\u6709\u60e9\u7f5a\u90a3\u4e9b\u9020\u6210\u635f\u5931\u7684\u7f6a\u9b41\u7978\u9996\u3001\u8981\u4ed6\u4eec\u8d1f\u8d77\u8d23\u4efb\uff0c\u53cd\u800c\u8ba9\u50cf\u4e39\u65af\u91cc\u8bfa\u8fd9\u6837\u7684\u6295\u673a\u5206\u5b50\u6b65\u6b65\u9ad8\u5347\u3001\u5347\u7ea7\u4e3a\u5185\u9601\u6210\u5458\u3002<\/p>\n \u5927\u9009\u5373\u5c06\u5230\u6765\uff0c\u4e39\u65af\u91cc\u8bfa\u5fc5\u987b\u57fa\u4e8e\u516c\u4f17\u5229\u76ca\u89e3\u91ca\u8fd9\u5b97\u91d1\u878d\u4e11\u95fb\uff0c\u5f53\u6211\u4eec\u627f\u53d7\u7740\u53f2\u4e0a\u6700\u5927\u5b97\u7684\u91d1\u878d\u4e11\u95fb\u65f6\uff0c\u9009\u6c11\u6709\u6743\u5229\u77e5\u9053\u4ed6\u4eec\u6295\u9009\u4ec0\u4e48\u6837\u7684\u4eba\u3001\u4ec0\u4e48\u6837\u7684\u653f\u5e9c\u3002\u5982\u679c\u4ed6\u505a\u4e0d\u5230\uff0c\u53ea\u662f\u663e\u793a\u56fd\u9635\u653f\u5e9c\u9488\u5bf9\u516c\u4f17\u95ee\u8d23\u53ca\u900f\u660e\u5ea6\uff0c\u53ea\u662f\u8bb2\u8bb2\u800c\u5df2\u3002<\/p>\n \u6797\u51a0\u82f1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Minister in the Prime Minister\u2019s Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamad Yakcop must come clean on the Bank Negara forex scandal and fully account for the losses of RM15.8 billion from 1992-3 but estimated to reach RM30 billion.
