1MDB today asked Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua to train his guns on issues which he appeared to have taken a 'tidak apa' (lackadaisical) attitude instead of focussing on the troubled state-owned fund.

The company said these include apparent leaks of investigation materials to international news agencies and whether Pua had knowledge that Sarawak Report editor-in-chief Clare Rewcastle Brown was dealing with "stolen" information.

"We suggest that Pua focus his attention on matters on which he has taken a "tidak apa" attitude, e.g. did he know that Clare Rewcastle-Brown was involved in the sale of stolen goods.”

1MDB made this claim based on a quote it attributed to her.

"Alternatively, Pua ( photo ) may want to commence an enquiry as to how confidential Bank Negara investigation documents ended up in the possession of the foreign internet portal, the Sarawak Report or how confidential Public Accounts Committee (PAC) documents such as the auditor-general interim report ended up with the foreign news publication, The Wall Street Journal .

"We trust Pua will take all necessary actions to, at the very least, to preserve the now questionable integrity of the PAC process and not continue to mislead the public on matters outside of his competency," it said in a statement today.

Incomplete disclosure

1MDB lashed out at Pua, who is also a PAC member, after he accused the company of criminal breach of trust, abetting misappropriation and embezzlement.

This followed Bank Negara's revelation that 1MDB had obtained permission to transfer funds overseas based on inaccurate information or without complete disclosure of material information.

However, 1MDB said this finding by Bank Negara was still "very different" from the "unproven" allegations of fraud, embezzlement, theft and money laundering.

"Accordingly, the Attorney-General’s Chambers, having reviewed the investigation papers and recommendations of Bank Negara Malaysia, has determined that no further action is to be taken.

"This point has been accepted by BNM itself, which has clearly stated 'It is to be noted that under the Federal Constitution, the decision to initiate criminal prosecution lies solely with the attorney-general'," said the company.

Bank Negara had made the revelation about 1MDB's violations after the attorney-general rejected the central bank's investigation papers and refused to prosecute the case.
