Pemerhati: The Swiss Office of the Attorney General (OAG) said that it remains confident that its two requests for mutual legal assistance made to the authorities in Malaysia will be executed.

This is a surprising statement since the OAG states that its initial request of January 2016 from Malaysia is still pending while the OAG received, to its full satisfaction, the evidence requested in April 2016 from the authorities in Singapore.

Perhaps the OAG has revealed this information about Malaysia together with the information regarding Singapore’s cooperation to diplomatically indicate that Malaysia is not cooperating and refusing to release the information requested.

Negarawan: The lack of assistance from the Malaysian authorities to the Swiss OAG and other foreign investigation bodies will only serve to affirm the allegations that the Malaysian attorney-general (AG), Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Bank Negara and the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) are wilfully concealing evidence and impeding investigations into 1MDB and MO1 (Malaysian Official 1).

This shameful and criminal act tarnishes the image of the country, and will drive foreign investors away. One way or another, the evidence will find their way into the hands of these investigators.

Spinning: I thought AG Mohamed Apandi Ali said he “will” assist the Swiss OAG, and that was in January 2016. Ten months has since passed and nothing has happened.

Rupert16: If Apandi is so sure of PM Najib Razak’s innocence then he should be prepared to provide the necessary information to the Swiss OAG.

Failure to do so will further confirmed what we all already know, and that is, 1MDB and SRC have been set up by Najib and Jho Low to allegedly siphon public funds to their pockets and those of their minions.

Anonymous 2415891461978791: The Swiss will have a long wait if they expect cooperation from the Malaysian side.

Of course, the Swiss OAG understands as do we all that the judicial and investigative machinery of Malaysia is in the hands of alleged criminals, and I’m sure would no more trust Apandi with confidential information than a prosecutor would trust a mafia lawyer.

Anonymous_4056: To save Najib or MO1’s skin, the Attorney-General Chambers (AGC) will not cooperate or comply with the OAG request.

The Malaysian authority will find one reason or another to stymied the request. Their usual contention is on the conspiracy theory, which is pure nonsense.

Bluemountains: I hope the Agong and his brother rulers are reading this. They should summon the AG to the upcoming Conference of Rulers to explain his dereliction of duty.

The people sincerely hopes that the sultans will answer their plea for help.

Rocky: A Ponzi scheme is where a company invites investors to invest into something non-existent with the promise of high returns, it will then use a part of your investment to pay you as dividend.

Due to the high dividend, the people invite new investors and when the target is reached, it will collapse.

Gaji Buta: I think it is not fair for Mr Ponzi to take credit for this kind of brilliance.

We should insist that this technique be named after the mastermind behind this, who is most likely a Malaysian. A wonderful opportunity, which we should pursue.

Jaycee: For Bolehland, this does not constitute a “Ponzi” scheme. This is how business is being done here.

Rupert16: To date, we have yet to hear from Apandi and the Twitter-happy inspector-general of police (IGP) on the two ex-SRC executives who have absconded, and the action against the ex-CEO of 1MDB. Why?

The answer is obvious, isn’t it? Without a doubt, any right-minded Malaysian would know that Apandi will find ways to avoid giving the information to the Swiss OAG so as not to implicate his political master.

‘Najib can’t keep silent on SRC International amid Swiss case’

Hardboiled: I said it before. The scandal involving SRC International alone is enough to force any prime minister to resign from office.

RM42 million is transferred directly from the said company into his private bank account without any explanation. The people cannot suffer this any longer. He must be brought to justice.

Anonymous 2415891461978791: Malaysia is now actually an enterprise run for the benefit and protection of an allegedly criminal cabal.

The expected action by foreign prosecutors will be one of the most humiliating debasements ever suffered by a nation in modern history.

The Najib strategy is simply to ignore requests for cooperation, in effect to not answer the phone, relying on the impotence of the opposition at home.

Headhunter: Looking at what is happening in Sabah right now, “single biggest den of thieves” is an apt description.
