Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli wants to know how much longer inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar will take before ordering the arrest of 1MDB chief executive Arul Kanda Kandasamy for allegedly misappropriating the firm's funds.

This is in regard to Rafizi's claim that 1MDB had misappropriated RM288 million, meant to be payment to Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT), by paying of its own debts.

Rafizi, who lodged a police report on the matter on April 30, claimed he obtained the information from classified documents, for which he has been charged with breaching the Official Secrets Act (OSA).

"The National Audit Department has confirmed that the document I exposed is legitimate. Therefore, the information contained within is also accurate.

"This confirms that Arul Kanda and the senior management of 1MDB had made the RM288 million payment without informing the board of directors first, and is a solid basis to start investigations against them," Rafizi said in a statement today.

He is baffled why no action has been taken against Arul Kanda after almost two weeks, whereas he himself was arrested just seven hours after the Audit Department lodged a police report against him for leaking the OSA documents.

The PKR vice-president said he would wait until April 15 to see if police take action against Arul Kanda before taking up other measures against the 1MDB boss.

Rafizi has previously claimed that the alleged misappropriation of the RM288 million was part of evidence that 1MDB's financial woes had caused LTAT to be unable to pay gratuity to the Armed Forces veterans.

LTAT and 1MDB have denied his claims.

Rafizi has since been slapped with two charges under the OSA and one charge under the Penal Code for criminal defamation.

Malaysiakini has emailed 1MDB for comment and is awaiting its response.
