敦馬：不檢控1MDB案‧「總檢察長缺透明度」
（吉隆坡9日訊）前首相敦馬哈迪譏諷並質問，總檢察長丹斯里阿班迪是否掌握比法官更高的權力，以致能夠單獨決定不對一馬發展有限公司（1MDB）案進行檢控，並且否決國家銀行針對不檢控決定所作上訴。
譏諷比法官更有權力
他今日在其部落格撰文指出，總檢察長至今未清楚解釋為何作不檢控決定，這是缺乏透明度的。
「儘管總檢察長可以選擇不提控，但是他應清楚知悉此案的重要性，至少也應理解國行等機構完成報告的艱辛，如有任何不滿意的地方，就交由法庭及法官審判，不滿意還能對裁決上訴。」
「國家的法律可以如此被操控嗎？是不是說他比法官還高出一等，能自行作最後裁決，並不允許上訴。民眾只想知道首相拿督斯里納吉是否涉及，他將讓該案從此留下疑點，外界也會臆測該決定並不來自他。」
指1MDB調查將不了了之
他預測，有關一馬公司的調查都將不了了之，因為已有政府成員聲明，即使馬來統治者也無權勸阻，政府明顯濫用國家法律的情況。
另外，馬哈迪狠批政府以2012年國家安全罪行（特別措施）法令，逮捕巫統前峇都交灣副主席凱魯丁及其前政治秘書鄭文傑。
「納吉當初在推行該法令草案時，誓言只以該法令對付使用暴力顛覆民主制度或違反憲法者。原本應被鼓勵的揭弊者，卻被稱是危害國家安全而被對付，這是意在威脅欲舉報政府行為不當者。。」

Dr Mahathir questions if Najib behind A-G’s clearance of 1MDB

Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad raises doubts following the attorney-general's decision to clear 1MDB of false disclosure. – The Malaysian Insider filepic, October 9, 2015.
The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) is not being transparent in clearing state investor 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) of making false disclosures, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today, and asked if the prime minister was behind the decision.
Writing in his blog this evening, the former prime minister also said the attorney-general (A-G) now appeared to be acting "higher" than a judge by deeming Bank Negara's probe into 1MDB as having no grounds for charges to be framed.
"It would seem that the A-G has made the judgement, rejecting the case as having no merit for a hearing in a court of law. And when an appeal is made, the appeal is dismissed by him on grounds which are not clear. There is a lack of transparency here," Dr Mahathir wrote.
He was commenting on the AGC's announcement yesterday that 1MDB had committed no offence with regard to making inaccurate or incomplete disclosures, and the central bank's rebuttal this afternoon that its investigations had found that 1MDB obtained permissions to invest abroad based on inaccurate disclosures.
Bank Negara also said that it had revoked three of these permissions granted to 1MDB for foreign investments worth US$1.83 billion (RM7.53 billion), and ordered the state-owned firm to repatriate the funds back to Malaysia.
"In this particular case the people would like to know whether the prime minister is involved or not. By dismissing this case, suspicions will remain in the minds of the people. In fact people are thinking that the decision of the A-G may not be by the A-G," Dr Mahathir said.
"Is this the rule of law that this country is supposed to uphold? Is the A-G higher than a judge, that his judgement is final and there can be no appeal?"
Dr Mahathir, who has repeatedly criticised Najib over 1MDB since last year, said that instead of the rule of law, Putrajaya was now cracking down on those who questioned it over the Finance Ministry-owned firm.
He decried the use of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012, an anti-terrorism law that allows prevention, on the use of former Umno man Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan and his lawyer Matthias Chang.
Khairuddin had lodged several reports overseas with foreign investigators against 1MDB, an act, which the Inspector-General of Police had described as akin to sabotage of the country.
"The arrests of Khairuddin and his lawyer Matthias Chang have created fear among the people that reporting about wrongdoings of the Government and its officers constitute threats to security," Dr Mahathir said.
These responses by Putrajaya meant that the call by the Malay rulers for 1MDB to be investigated and resolved quickly and transparently can no longer be achieved, the retired statesman added.
"There are literally dozens of people with knowledge of the wrongdoings in 1MDB who will not risk giving evidence or making accusations because they risk being detained and charged under the Security Offences Act.
"All these only made the lack of confidence towards Putrajaya worse, and turned Malaysia into a 'pariah state' in the eyes of the world.
"A state where anyone can be hauled up and questioned by the police, detained and charged through abusing the laws of the country," Dr Mahathir wrote.– October 9, 2015.
