DAP lawmaker Tony Pua has taken to Facebook to punch holes in 1MDB president and executive director Arul Kanda’s explanation to Universiti Malaya students last night.
Among them was Arul's claim that auditing firm Deloitte was forced to withdraw as it could not complete its audit of 1MDB's accounts ending March 2015 due to missing documents confiscated by the authorities.
"As highlighted during the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meetings, these documents can be accessed by making a request to the authorities. But 1MDB made no such attempt because it was a convenient excuse.
"Also, some documents like bank statements can be reproduced by the respective banks, but 1MDB still refused to give them to either the PAC, auditor-general or Deloitte. Why?" asked Pua.
