IPIC WINS, NAJIB/MoF/1MDB LOSE BIG TIME US6.5B (RM28 BILLION) LONDON ARBITRATION. NAJIB & MINISTERS LIE THEY WON!

Let us be very, very clear at the outset that the announcement (see below) on 24 April 2017 at the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) means that, IPIC WON, and Najib/Malaysia's Ministry of Finance (MoF)/1MDB LOST the arbitration case.

(Click on pic for enlarged view).




Basically, the LCIA decision means that Malaysian Taxpayers will have to cough up US$4,705,450,000 (apprx. US$4.7 billion or RM20 billion) between now and 2022, as follows:

1. US$1,205,450,000 (appx. US$1.2 billion or RM5 billion) in equal instalments in July and December 2017 to be paid to IPIC.


2. US$3,500,000,000 (US$3.5 billion or RM15 billion) to paid to 1MDB bondholders in 2022, PLUS all interest, about another RM1.2 billion due to them between now and 2022. 


I have put MoF in front of 1MDB, as the LCIA settlement would have been impossible without the MoF guarantee. In short, this is yet another disgraceful bailout of 1MDB by the Malaysian Taxpayer. 1MDB does not have any cash to guarantee anything.


What does the decision mean? It means that:


1. IPIC's claim of US$1.2 billion/RM4.2 billion that had originally been agreed to by 1MDB, and later unnecessarily disputed, was legitimate. It was not a fraudulent or frivolous claim as bandied about by MoF/1MDB. 
It is also an absolute lie by Najib, MOF/1MDB that this money will be paid from redeemed "units" parked through Jho Low with undisclosed fund managers or Brazen Sky or BSI Singapore. The LCIA  announcement makes no mention of it at all! The "units" fib was cooked up by Najib and his gangsters. I dare Najib to reveal the name of the "units" fund. All the money disappeared long ago into Najib's pockets and much of it invested in USA & UK properties and other assets by his cronies Jho Low, Riza Aziz, Qubaisy and Husseiny. Refer my earlier blog post. CLICK HERE.

2. It is now 100% confirmed by Najib, MoF, 1MDB and the Malaysian government that US$3.5billion/RM15 billion it said had already paid to IPIC was false. They all knowingly lied about it.


3. US$3.5/RM15 billion of funds already disappeared from 1MDB into the pockets of Najib and his cronies between 2009-2013.


4. The Malaysian Taxpayer is now being forced by Najib and his thieving government to PAY TWICE for 1MDB'S bond debts!


5. No one in Malaysia - Najib, Deputy Finance Ministers and Chairman, Executive Directors and CEOs of 1MDB - has been charged in court for multi-billion ringgit fraud, looting, money-laundering, financial and economic plunder, false accounting and/or conspiracy to do so. This is happening despite last April's PAC Report recommending that ex-1MDB CEO Shahrol Halmi be charged with financial mismanagement. The IGP and AG, a pair of Najib's shameless sycophants, are obviously sleeping on their job.


6. Auditors Detoilette, in which one of Najib's sons is a full partner, has (so far) got away with shameful sub-standard work. In any other country, it would have been subjected to multiple lawsuits by the government and/or banks and bondholders for professional negligence. Remember Enron and how auditors Arthur Andersen eventually had to close down?


7. The suggestion by scurrilous "analysts" briefed and conned by Jho Low that this settlement weakens the US DoJ kleptocracy case is an attempt at damage control, with one eye on the looming GE14.


If anything, it strengthens their case, as here is a clear admission by Najib and MoF/1MDB that US$3.5 billion/RM15 billion it claimed it had already paid to IPIC never went to them, and now they have to come up with another US$3.5 billion/RM15 billion.


Any other claim by any "analyst", Minister/Deputy Minister from Najib's government of thieves, MoF Chief Thief Serigar or 1MDB executives, is a BLATANT LIE designed to try and pull the wool over the Rakyat's eyes. More than that, it is an attempt by serial liar and thief Najib to save face, now that it has been globally confirmed that there was massive fraud at 1MDB!!!


It was confirmed more than a year ago that IPIC was claiming US$6.5 billion or RM28 billion from 1MDB. Najib, his sycophantic Ministers and 1MDB all pretended that this was an outrageous claim even though the auditor general had already revealed that at least US$3.5 billion or RM15 billion was missing from 1MDB's balance sheet.


In July 2016, the Us DoJ had also confirmed in its kelptocracy claim, mainly against Jho Low, Riza Aziz and Qubaisy and Husseiny (of Aabar, a subsidiary of IPIC), that the missing US$3.5 billion had been deliberately siphoned out from 1MDB to offshore tax shelter companies controlled by Jho Low, Qubaisy and Husseiny, between 2009 to 2013. This would not have been possible without a conspiracy involving top 1MDB directors and Najib, who from day one had sole approving authority as Chief Advisor to 1MDB. More than that, Najib has from 2009 been the Finance Minister under whom nestles MoF and its wholly owned subsidiary, 1MDB! 


Najib's cronies had created off-shore tax shelter bearing names very similar to IPIC's subsidiaries to carry out their fraud. They siphoned the moneys out of 1MDB. The real IPIC and its subsidiaries never received the money under dispute.


What is interesting though is what was not announced. IPIC had claimed US$6.5 billion from 1MDB. The LICA settlement only accounts for US$4.7 billion. What happened to the balance of US$1.8 billion or RM8 billion? Is it likely that the Arabs would forgo US$1.8 billion? For sure, Najib/MoF/1MDB are hiding something big! The silence is deafening!


But everyone has forgotten one important aspect of this peculiar arrangement between 1MDB and IPIC. Who cooked up this guarantee arrangement? Who was the "brains" behind it? If right from the beginning MoF had given a Malaysian Government sovereign guarantee, it could have saved the Taxpayer billions of ringgit. 


This guarantee agreement is protected by the OSA. I bet that if the OSA documents were to be declassified, we will find that some Najib crony has been a substantial beneficiary of the guarantee fees! 
Was it a certain Malaysian Indian tycoon fraudtrepreneur? I did not say crooked crony. With Najib and his government of thieves, that is, of course, guaranteed!

DID EPF LOSE RM576 MILLION OR RM203 MILLION IN FGVH SHARES? IS SOMEONE NOT TELLING THE WHOLE TRUTH?


Felda Global Ventures Holdings Plc (FGVH) was listed on the KLSE in 2012 mainly due to arm-twisting and manipulation by PM Najib. Pre-listing multi-billion ringgit losses in the US due to Najib's incompetency, were covered up. Refer to my August 2015 blog post.  CLICK HERE.

Based on the above table derived from FGVH's audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014, EPF had invested in about 192 million FGVH shares costing RM876 million @ RM4.55 per share. This showed a book loss in 2014 of RM576 million.

Assuming EPF had lost and average of ONLY RM2 a share in selling off it's entire holdings of FGVH shares, it would have registered a realised loss of RM385 million.

However, on 3 April 2017, EPF announced a realised loss of RM203 million in FGVH shares in 2016. CLICK HERE. It had announced in December 2016 that by then it had sold off its entire stock of FGVH shares. 

This leads us to suppose that the RM203 million was only a portion of a much larges loss in total. More losses must have been realised in earlier years or written off as provisions in a 'mark to market' accounting policy.

It is not possible to get the exact total realised loss on FGVH shares by sifting through EPF's published accounts, as specific details are rarely disclosed there, if ever. The analysis of RM3.39 and RM3.97 billion losses on investments in 2014 and 2015 are not available:



It is also curious and suspicious that the Ministry of Finance (MoF) added in this statement, to try and reduce the impact of the shocking RM203 million loss:

"However, the EPF had made RM105.77 million dividend income from FGVH shares."

That made it look as though EPF had lost only RM97 million (203-106). This is NOT REMOTELY how a savvy investor anywhere in the world, would look at investments  and returns:

1. RM105.77 million in dividends gives an average rate of return of only about 3% over 4 years (2013-2016). This is below par for an investment cost of RM876 million, as minus inflation of about 3% a year, the net return is a pathetic 0%!!!

2. There is the risk free opportunity cost to consider. Had EPF placed RM876 million on FD with a bank, it would have earned a minimum of say, 876 x 4%=35 million a year x 4= RM140 million. This is more than the RM105.77 dividends AND, its capital would have been intact!

3. If EPF had cut it's losses early, it might have been able to re-invest the money in blue chip shares, which would have given a capital gain rather than a massive loss. Instead they paid heavily for allowing themselves to be coerced into a dud investment by Najib.

It is to hide this huge Najib blunder (he is also the Finance Minister) that the MoF added in that spin about $105.77 million dividend income without explaining it further. But that is exactly what we have come to expect from a MoF led by Najib and where, its Chief Secretary, Dr. Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah, has since 2009 been assisting kleptocrat Najib in covering up the even greater humongous looming 1MDB loss of RM95 billion, due to massive fraud by Najib, his family members and his cronies. CLICK HERE.

Did heads roll at the EPF? There is no culture of honour in a government of thieves. Some have written that RM576 million represents less than 1% of EPF's RM700 billion assets, and so it's no big deal. But that is exactly the type of thinking that allows the crooks like Najib to loot and plunder at will. 99.99% of us will never earn anywhere near $576 million in our lifetime. That money could have been invested in schools, hospitals and other much needed infrastructure. It's downright criminal to lose RM576 million due to incompetency, negligence and abuse of power by a prime minister and his crony head at EPF!

So, EPF must come clean about how much it actually lost in TOTAL on FGVH shares. Remember, EPF's money belongs to its contributors, NOT the government. Hard working citizens are sinking under the weight of stagnant wages, GST, rising food cost, transportation, petrol, soaring rents, house prices and inflation (record 4.5% in 8 years, in y-o-y to February 2017).

More than that, the government must disclose how much in total many GLC's and State Governments have actually lost by being bullied, again by Najib, to prop up the ill-advised listing of FGVH shares!

As at 31 December 2014, these entities had a book loss of nearly RM8 billion!!! (See table above). Many of them would have taken out loans from banks to finance their share acquisitions, which means their losses would have been higher, with loan interest!!!

As I have said many times before, Najib has the touch of the plague and the kiss of death whatever mega project he proposes - FGVH, 1MDB, PPFI etc., etc., etc. He does not have the knowledge, skills or qualifications to manage his children's piggy bank, let alone the complexities of a country's economy.

But, Najib can't let go because of ego, face, and false pride born of cancerous Ketuananism. He suffers from the illusion that somehow, being the son of a former prime minister, he is destined for global success and a place in the history books. But, instead, his repeated failures have cost the nation, at the very least, RM150 billion in a blazing trail of stupefying losses.

The citizens must seriously endeavour to put him out of his misery soon, like yesterday!
