Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng And MP For Bagan In Kuala Lumpur On 30.5.2013.<\/p>\n
Malaysia\u2019s ill-earned reputation as the world champion of illicit fund outflow per capita testifies to BN\u2019s and Bank Negara\u2019s failure to wipe out corruption and prevent money laundering in Malaysia. When I was in London, I was sad to read in the New York Times that unlicensed money remitting services in Malaysia are alleged to have been a part of a US$6 billion (RM18.3 billion) online money laundering operation in US.<\/p>\n
The New York Times said the money laundering scheme operating under Liberty Reserve had millions of customers worldwide, which were \u201coverwhelmingly criminal in nature\u201d, conducted 55 million transactions over the past seven years. In the largest online money-laundering case in history, Liberty Reserve relied solely on \u201cthird-party exchangers\u201d to accept or make payments for them, which are usually \u201cunlicensed money-transmitting businesses without significant government oversight or regulation, concentrated in Malaysia, Russia, Nigeria and Vietnam\u201d.<\/p>\n
Washington-based Global Financial Integrity Report had listed China as the leader in illicit funds outflow, mainly corruption in nature, with USD 2.8 trillion, with Malaysia at No. 5 in the world at USD 291 billion. However in per capita basis China lost out to world champion Malaysia at RM 6,400 per person per year as compared to RM32,000 for Malaysia.<\/p>\n
In England, Malaysians have an unfortunate infamous past for being bookies in setting up Premier League football games. Such negative feedback have been slightly reversed following the favourable impact of positive involvement by Malaysians in owning Premiership clubs like newly-relegated Queen Park Rangers and newly-promoted Cardiff City.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the Malaysian government\u2019s culture of corruption and lack of financial transparency and accountability has now resulted in Malaysia to be part of being a focus of world-wide money-laundering operation. On money-laundering, Malaysia\u2019s international reputation is now worse than Thailand or Indonesia and on par with countries like Nigeria and Russia.<\/p>\n
The time has come for the BN Federal government to stop being in denial by adopting genuine financial reform to clean up and stop such criminal activities of illicit outflow of \u201cblack money\u201dand money-laundering. Otherwise, there is no point in winning accolades for Bank Negara or for our purported good running of the economy when the real issues of transparency and accountability are not addressed.<\/p>\n
Or are we to continue to depend on foreign countries in Hong Kong to do our work for us by investigating and detaining those involved in trying to smuggle in tens of million of ringgit?<\/p>\n

Reputasi buruk Malaysia sebagai juara aliran wang haram per kapita menjadi dalil kukuh kegagalan BN dan Bank Negara untuk melenyapkan rasuah dan mencegah pengubahan wang haram di Malaysia<\/strong><\/p>\n Reputasi buruk Malaysia sebagai juara aliran wang haram per kapita menjadi dalil kukuh kegagalan BN dan Bank Negara untuk melenyapkan rasuah dan mencegah pengubahan wang haram di Malaysia. Ketika saya berada di London, sayu hati saya membaca laporan New York Times bahawa perkhidmatan kiriman wang tidak berlesen di Malaysia didakwa menjadi sebahagian daripada operasi besar pengubahan wang haram berpusat di Amerika Syarikat yang bernilai US$6 bilion (RM18.3 bilion).<\/p>\n New York Times melaporkan bahawa skim pengubahan wang haram yang beroprasi di bawah Liberty Reserve memiliki jutaan pelanggan di seluruh dunia yang \u2018bersifat penjenayah\u2019 tersebut telah melakukan 55 juta transaksi dalam tempoh tujuh tahun lalu. Dalam kes pengubahan wang haram dalam talian terbesar dalam sejarah, Liberty Reserve bergantung sepenuhnya kepada penukar pihak ketiga untuk menerima dan membuat bayaran bagi pihak mereka, yang selalunya merupakan \u2018usahawan pengirim wang tidak berlesen yang tidak mempunyai badan pemantau kerajaan mahupun undang-undang yang signifikan, berpusat di Malaysia, Rusia, Nigeria dan Vietnam\u2019.<\/p>\n Global Financial Integrity Report yang berpengkalan di Washington telah menyenaraikan negara China di tangga pertama dalam aliran keluar wang haram, yang selalunya berunsur rasuah, berjumlah US$ 2.8 trilion; dan Malaysia berada di kedudukan kelima di dunia dengan US$ 291 bilion. Namun atas dasar per kapita, China kalah kepada juara dunia Malaysia dengan hanya sekadar RM6,400 seorang setahun berbanding RM32,000 bagi Malaysia.<\/p>\n Di England, Malaysia malangnya mempunyai sejarah silam apabila warganya ada yang menjadi \u2018bookie\u2019 yang mengatur perlawan bola sepak Liga Perdana Inggeris. Reaksi negatif dari hal tersebut kini kian pudar berikutan kesan positif penglibatan Malaysia dalam milikan kelab Liga Perdana Inggeris seperti Queen Park Rangers dan Cardiff City.<\/p>\n Malangnya, budaya rasuah kerajaan Malaysia dan kurangnya ketelusan kewangan serta akauntabiliti telah mengakibatkan Malaysia menjadi fokus dunia sebagai pusat operasi pengubahan wang haram global. Reputasi antarabangsa Malaysia kini lebih teruk daripada Thailand atau Indonesia dan hampir sebaris dengan negara seperti Nigeria dan Rusia dalam hal pengubahan wang haram.<\/p>\n Masanya telah tiba untuk Kerajaan Persekutuan BN berhenti hidup dalam penafian dengan melaksanakan reformasi kewangan yang tulen untuk membersihkan dan menghentikan aktiviti jenayah aliran keluar wang haram serta pengubahan wang haram. Jika tidak, tidak ada ertinya Bank Negara mendapat pelbagai penghargaan untuk apa yang disangkakan sebagai pengurusan ekonomi yang baik padahal isu sebenar berkaitan ketelusan dan akauntabiliti tidak boleh diuruskan.<\/p>\n Atau adakah kita akan terus bergantung kepada negara luar seperti Hong Kong untuk bekerja bagi pihak kita bagi menyiasat dan menahan mereka yang terlibat menyeludup puluhan juta ringgit?<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n ===============Mandarin version=========================<\/p>\n
