Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 26.5.2014.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak must respect accountability and transparency by coming clean on the RM 40 million Bank Rakyat loan scandal exposed by former Minister and ex-Bank Rakyat Chairman Tan Sri Sababaruddin Chik. This follows the shocking revelations in \u201cThe Malaysian Insider\u201d today of the nexus of patronage, money-dealing and abuse of public monies for cronies of the top leadership, exposed by Sabbaruddin Chik after his tenure was not extended due to a RM40 million loan application made by a VIP linked to Putrajaya. <\/p>\n
Sabbaruddin told The Malaysian Insider that the VIP had used his political connections to settle a loan amounting to RM 32 million without any interest calculated due to the intervention of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Hasan Malek. Sabbaruddin revealed the Bank Rakyat board of directors initially rejected the compromise offered by the VIP to settle his outstanding RM40 million debt by offering 120 post-dated cheques to be cashed in by the bank over a 10-year period. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ten years to pay off a debt without any interest effectively means getting the money for nothing if the interest rate is pegged at 10% per annum. Naturally the Bank Rakyat Board of Directors was correct in rejecting such a scam of a scandalous offer by the VIP as it would be a loss to the bank and not in the public interest. <\/p>\n
Sabbaruddin also showed The Malaysian Insider a letter signed by Hasan instructing Bank Rakyat to proceed according to the terms of the compromise offered by the VIP. Following the Board of Directors\u2019 refusal, Hasan was dissatisfied and refused to sign the letter extending Sabbarudin\u2019s tenure as Bank Rakyat chairman, which ended on 8 April, even though Bank Negara had agreed to extend Sabbaruddin\u2019s contract. <\/p>\n
Datuk Seri Najib should explain to the public this expose by Sabbaruddin because the VIP concerned is closely related to BN leaders, reaching right up to the inner sanctums of power in Putrajaya. Secondly, Najib should explain what was the basis of Bank Rakyat giving out these loan. Was it purely political or were proper procedures and due diligence was complied with when Bank Rakyat issued the RM40 million loan to the VIP \u2013 how a large RM40 million loan can be given to a VIP without any financial standing or repayment ability? <\/p>\n
Thirdly, Najib should also explain what happened to the compromise offer by the VIP after Sabbaruddin\u2019s tenure as Bank Rakyat Chairman was not extended. Was the VIP allowed to repay back the loan in 120 equal instalments over 10 years, interest-free? Finally, Najib should also come clean and fully account for any other similar sweetheart deals of giving mega-loans to VIPs of dubious financial standing.<\/p>\n
Failure to do so would only highlight that BN leaders are running the country not for public good but for private benefit of their cronies. Further it would also question Bank Negara\u2019s credibility and integrity in ensuring a sound and reliable financial system when loans are given out solely based on political patronage and pay-offs.<\/p>\n

Kenyataan media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 26 Mei 2014.<\/p>\n
Perdana Menteri mesti menghormati akauntabiliti dan ketelusan dengan berlaku jujur tentang skandal pinjaman RM40 juta Bank Rakyat yang didedahkan oleh bekas menteri yang juga bekas pengerusi Bank Rakyat, Tan Sri Sabbaruddin Chik.<\/strong><\/p>\n Perdana Menteri mesti menghormati akauntabiliti dan ketelusan dengan berlaku jujur tentang skandal pinjaman RM40 juta Bank Rakyat yang didedahkan oleh bekas menteri yang juga bekas pengerusi Bank Rakyat, Tan Sri Sabbaruddin Chik. Ini berikutan pendedahan mengejutkan dalam \u201cThe Malaysian Insider\u201d hari ini tentang hubungan naungan, permainan wang dan salah guna dana awam untuk kroni oleh pengurusan tertinggi, seperti yang didedahkan Sabbaruddin Chik setelah tempoh khidmatnya tidak dilanjutkan bersabit permohonan pinjaman RM40 juta seorang VIP yang mempunyai hubungkait dengan Putrajaya.<\/p>\n Sabbarauddin memberitahu The Malaysian Insider bahawa VIP tersebut telah menggunakan hubungan politiknya untuk menyelesaikan hutang berjumlah RM32 juta tanpa kiraan faedah kerana campurtangan Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan Datuk Seri Hasan Malek. Sabbaruddin mendedahkan bahawa lembaga pengarah Bank Rakyat awalnya menolak kompromi yang ditawarkan VIP itu untuk menyelesaikan hutang tertunggak berjumlah RM40 juta dengan menawarkan 120 cek tunda untuk ditunaikan oleh pihak bank dalam jangkamasa 10 tahun.<\/p>\n Sepuluh tahun untuk membayar suatu hutang tanpa faedah bermaksud mendapat wang tersebut tanpa apa-apa bayaran tambahan, jika faedah ditambat pada kadar 10% setahun. Lembaga pengarah Bank Rakyat bertindak tepat menolak penipuan dalam tawaran yang penuh skandal oleh VIP terbabit kerana ia membawa kerugian kepada pihak bank dan bertentangan dengan kepentingan awam.<\/p>\n Sabbaruddin turut menunjukkan kepada The Malaysian Insider sepucuk surat yang ditandatangani oleh Hasan mengarahkan Bank Rakyat untuk akur kepada syarat kompromi yang ditawarkan oleh VIP itu. Setelah lembaga pengarah enggan berbuat demikian, Hasan tidak puas hati dan enggan pula menandatangani surat untuk menyambung tempoh perkhidmatan Sabbaruddin sebagai pengerusi Bank Rakyat, yang berakhir pada 8 April, walaupun Bank Negara telah bersetuju untuk melanjutkan tempoh kontrak Sabbaruddin.<\/p>\n Datuk Seri Najib mesti menjelaskan pendedahan Sabbaruddin ini kepada orang ramai kerana VIP yang dimaksudkan mempunyai pertalian rapat dengan pemimpin BN dan mempunyai capaian ke pusat kekuasaan Putrajaya. Kedua, Najib mesti menjelaskan apakah asas untuk Bank Rakyat meluluskan pinjaman ini. Adakah ia semata-mata politik atau adakah mengikut prosedur yang betul dengan mengikut peraturan yang digariskan sewaktu Bank Rakyat memberikan pinjaman RM40 juta ini kepada VIP tersebut – bagaimanakah pinjaman yang begitu tinggi nilainya sebanyak RM40 juta senang-senang diberikan kepada seorang VIP tanpa kemampuan membayar semula atau sebarang kekuatan kewangan?<\/p>\n Ketiga, Najib juga harus menjelaskan apa yang terjadi kepada tawaran kompromi oleh VIP ini selepas tempoh khidmant Sabbaruddin sebagai pengerusi Bank Rakyat tidak dilanjutkan. Adakah VIP tersebut dibenarkan untuk membuat pembayaran semula secara 120 kali ansuran selama 10 tahun, tanpa faedah? Akhir sekali, Najib harus jujur dan memperhitungkan kesemua perjanjian mudah dan pemberian pinjaman mega kepada VIP yang mempunyai keadaan kewangan yang meragukan.<\/p>\n Kegagalan berbuat demikian hanya menunjukkan bahawa pemimpin BN menguruskan negara bukan untuk kebaikan orang ramai tetapi demi faedah kroni. Selanjutnya ia turut mempersoalkan kredibiliti dan integriti Bank Negara dalam memastikan sistem kewangan yang baik dan boleh dipercayai apabila pinjaman diberikan semata-mata atas dasar naungan politik pemberian wang.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG
