Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 28.5.2014. <\/p>\n
Bank Negara\u2019s loud and ominous silence over the RM32 million Bank Rakyat loan scandal echoes the Prime Minister\u2019s lack of commitment to principles of accountability and integrity necessary towards establishing a sound financial system. The United Nations Institute for Training and Research had described a “sound financial management” as the aggregate set of practices and procedures which allow for the accurate, transparent, and effective handling of all government monies and government contracts.<\/p>\n
Clearly both Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Bank Negara have failed miserably, if this test of a sound financial system is applied by their refusal to come clean on the RM 32 million Bank Rakyat loan scandal exposed by former UMNO Minister and ex-Bank Rakyat Chairman Tan Sri Sababaruddin Chik in \u201cThe Malaysian Insider\u201d. Sabbaruddin continued to reiterate that the Board of Directors of Bank Rakyat had initially rejected the easy repayment option over 10 years, without any interest on a RM32 million loan, to businessman Deepak Jaikishan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However Bank Rakyat was forced to accept the repayment of the RM32 million loan in 120 post-dated cheques to be cashed in by the bank over a 10-year period, without any interest following the political interference of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Hasan Malek. Sabbaruddin is correct to say that ten years to pay off a debt without interest, means that Bank Rakyat will be the big loser in the end.<\/p>\n
Is this easy repayment option without interest available to other ordinary Malaysian who borrow from banks? Would Hasan Malek apply political interference on behalf of ordinary borrowers to allow repayments without interest over a 10 year period?<\/p>\n
This is a clear abuse of power and possible corrupt practice when a Minister refuses to sign the letter to extend Sabbaruddin\u2019s tenure as Bank Rakyat Chairman after April 8 this year, because of Sabbaruddin\u2019s opposition to the RM32 million easy repayment without interest scheme. Bank Negara should launch a full investigation to protect its credibility and integrity as a professional regulator for public interest, not for the private and political interest of cronies and BN leaders.<\/p>\n
Bank Negara should also come clean and fully account for any other similar sweetheart deals of giving mega-loans to VIPs of dubious financial standing. Failure to do so would only lend suspicion that BN leaders are running the country not for public good but for the private benefit of their cronies. Further it would also compromise Bank Negara\u2019s international reputation of ensuring a sound financial system when loans can be given out based solely 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 28 Mei 2014.<\/p>\n
Keengganan seorang menteri untuk menandatangani surat bagi melanjutkan tempoh perkhidmatan Sabbaruddin Chik sebagai pengerusi Bank Rakyat selepas 8 April tahun ini kerana beliau tidak setuju dengan skim pembayaran semula pinjaman RM32 juta tanpa faedah, adalah jelas satu penyalahgunaan kuasa dan mempunyai kemungkinan berlakunya korupsi.<\/p>\n
Sikap Bank Negara yang membisu terhadap skandal pinjaman RM32 juta Bank Rakyat memperlihatkan kurangnya komitmen Perdana Menteri terhadap prinsip-prinsip akauntabiliti dan integriti yang amat diperlukan demi membentuk sistem kewangan yang baik. United Nations Institute for Training and Research (Institute Latihan dan Kajian Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu) menyifatkan pengurusan kewangan yang baik sebagai satu set amalan dan prosedur agregat yang membolehkan pengurusan kewangan dan kontrak kerajaan secara tepat, telus dan berkesan.<\/p>\n
Jelas sekali kedua-dua pihak Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dan juga Bank Negara telah gagal sama sekali sekiranya ujian sistem kewangan yang baik ini diaplikasikan, disebabkan keengganan mereka untuk jujur tentang skandal pinjaman RM32 juta Bank Rakyat yang didedahkan oleh bekas menteri UMNO yang juga bekas pengerusi Bank Rakyat Tan Sri Sabbaruddin Chik yang dilaporkan di dalam The Malaysian Insider. Sabbaruddin terus mengulangi bahawa lembaga pengarah Bank Rakyat awalnya menolak tawaran pembayaran semula secara mudah sepanjang tempoh 10 tahun tanpa sebarang faedah terhadap pinjaman bernilai RM32 juta kepada ahli perniagaan Deepak Jaikishan.<\/p>\n
Bagaimana pun Bank Rakyat terpaksa menerima pembayaran semula pinjaman RM32 juta itu melalui 120 cek tunda yang perlu ditunaikan pihak bank dalam tempoh 10 tahun, tanpa sebarang faedah; berikutan campurtangan politik Menteri Perdangan dalam negeri, Koperasi dan Hal ehwal pengguna Datuk Seri Hasan Malek. Sabbaruddin berkata benar apabila menyatakan bahawa tempoh sepuluh tahun yang diberikan untuk membayar hutang tanpa dikenakan faedah bermakna Bank Rakyat akan rugi.<\/p>\n
Adakah piluhan pembayaran semula tanpa faedah ini turut tersedia untuk rakyat biasa yang meminjam dari bank? Adakah Hasan Malek akan melakukan campurtangan politik bagi pihak peminjam biasa untuk membenarkan pembayaran semula tanpa faedah dalam tempoh sepuluh tahun? <\/p>\n
Keengganan seorang menteri untuk menandatangani surat bagi melanjutkan tempoh perkhidmatan Sabbaruddin Chik sebagai pengerusi Bank Rakyat selepas 8 April tahun ini kerana beliau tidak setuju dengan skim pembayaran semula pinjaman RM32 juta tanpa faedah, adalah jelas satu penyalahgunaan kuasa dan mempunyai kemungkinan berlakunya korupsi. Bank Negara sewajarnya melancarkan siasatan penuh bagi mempertahankan kredibiliti dan integritinya sebagai pengawal selia profesional kepentingan awam, dan bukannya kepentingan peribadi dan politik kroni dan pemimpin BN. <\/p>\n
Bank Negara juga harus jujur dan memperhitungkan kesemua perjanjian mudah dan pemberian pinjaman mega kepada VIP yang mempunyai kedudukan kewangan yang meragukan. 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 dan pemberian wang.<\/p>\n
