“Is holding GE15 now all about freeing Najib?”
YESTERDAY (Oct 10), one of the Barisan Nasional (BN) parties were said to have put forward a resolution to free former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak from imprisonment.
Although the party president concerned has issued a denial on this, there is no doubt that this is one explicit or implicit objective of UMNO and BN to hold the 15th General Elections (GE15) now.
In Singapore, the authorities have taken action against the former deputy CEO of BSI Bank Ltd, Singapore Branch (BSIS) for his contribution to the bank’s failure to file suspicious transaction reports (STR) regarding 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)-related transactions.
Raj Sriram, who is also the former head of private banking of BSIS, was issued a 24-month conditional warning from the Singapore Police’s Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) and a 10-year prohibition order by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
