國際反貪大會代表紛紛對26億深感興趣，納吉龜縮不敢出席叫代表大感失望。不過國際透明組織主席還是敢敢劍挑廿六億門，贏喝彩。
反貪大會上劍挑廿六億門
國際透明組織主席贏喝彩
第16屆國際反貪大會今日在布城舉行，雖然首相納吉取消主題演講，避免遭遇敵意對待，但納吉26億門案依然成為大會的話題。
國際透明組織(Transparency International，簡稱TI)主席烏蓋茲(Jose Ugaz)在大會上演講時即挑起26億門，結果獲得全場如雷掌聲。
烏蓋茲稱，26億門滿是疑問，只有一人能回答所有問題。
他劍指首相納吉，要求他回應醜聞。同時，他也表示，馬來西亞政府應主動處理貪污問題。
「但人們需要看到更多進展，因為7億美元流入首相個人戶口的問題仍未解決。」
此話一出，現場頓時報以熱烈掌聲。
「只有一人可回答」
烏蓋茲指出，過去數個星期發生連串變故，如總檢察長被撤換、一馬公司案特工隊解散、反貪會成員被逮捕或調職，以及報道相關事件的媒體出版准證被凍結等。
他說：「這些不是打擊貪腐的政府應有的行動。」
此時，現場再次掌聲四起。
在掌聲中，他列舉26億門的數項問題，迫切需要解答。
「兩道問題需要回答——誰支付了這筆錢，為什麼要付錢？錢去了哪？
「只有一人可以回答這些問題。」

The 16th International Anti-Corruption Conference is taking place in Putrajaya from today until Friday. The Transparency International president Jose Ugaz has made a veiled reference to the prime minister’s role in the 1MDB scandal. – The Malaysian Insider pic by Kamal Ariffin, September 2, 2015.
Malaysia must provide answers on the US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) transferred to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s accounts, Transparency International told an international anti-corruption conference in Putrajaya today.
Its president, Jose Ugaz, said Malaysia’s commitment towards fighting corruption cannot be taken seriously as long as it did not explain who paid the money, why, and what happened to it.
「We want to see more progress (from Malaysia) but that cannot happen while there are unanswered questions about the US$700 million that made its way into the prime minister’s personal bank account,」 said Ugaz at the opening ceremony of the 16th International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC).
The hall, which comprised delegates from across the world, broke into applause at his statement. 「No one can be in Malaysia and not be aware of the corruption allegations of recent months and how damaging they are to the country. 「There is a corruption crisis here,」 said Ugaz. He said in recent weeks, the attorney-general 「who was critical of the government」 was replaced, the task force probing into 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) was suspended, investigators were arrested, and newspapers suspended.
.
「These are not the actions of a government that is fighting corruption. 「We may well hear promises of reform. That is not what is needed at this time. And promises alone will not restore confidence and trust,」 said Ugaz. Ugaz, a Peruvian lawyer with a history of taking on grand corruption, said only 「one man」 could provide answers, in an apparent reference to Najib. But he said if the man refused to come forward, then only a fully independent investigation, free from political interference, could uncover the truth.
.
「Until that happens, no claim from the government on anti-corruption will be credible.」 Kuala Lumpur is hosting the ongoing IACC and Najib was to have given the keynote address. Earlier today, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Paul Low said he advised Najib to pull out from officiating IACC in Putrajaya today in case the environment turned 「hostile」. The conference at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre ends on Friday. Touted as a premier global gathering of anti-corruption stakeholders, the IACC is held once every two years and this year it drew 1,000 delegates from 130 countries. – September 2, 2015. –
