Opposition in a panic to spin, DOJ case will be thrown out

If an unscholed idiot like Mahfudz start to speak, it means Opposition is in a state of panic. Who cares if Johari Ghani is not involved? It is not a Minister job!

If that is not enough:

36 Tony Pua And Wong Chen Are Liars, 1MDB Did Not Pay Double To IPIC
http://khairulryezal.blogspot.my/2017/04/tony-pua-and-wong-chen-are-liars-1mdb.html

Setelah itu gagal, DAP buat spin lain:

Berjanji Bayar USD1.2 billion Tidak Menghapuskan Jenayah
http://sakmongkol.blogspot.my/2017/04/berjanji-bayar-usd12-billion-tidak.html

Two key rebuttals to above.

First, 1MDB will be able to pay from investment fund unit monetisations for the IPIC payments and the interest on the bond.

So the gap, if any, is on the bond principal. This will be resolved through the good faith negotiations on the US$3.5 billion paid to Aabar BVI, which is equal to the bond principal.

Secondly, it is only normal and natural for IPIC to require  MOF Inc to be a party to the Settlement, as it has taken over all 1MDB assets, as a result of the PAC recommendations. Without assets, 1MDB is worth nothing hence that is why MOF Inc involvement is needed

Mereka risau kerana kes DOJ akan dibuang dan terbukti mereka membohong dan sabota ekonomi bersama orang asing:

Umno leader: Settlement weakens DOJ's case

25 Apr 2017, PM 9:06 (Updated 25 Apr 2017, PM 9:13)

The settlement between 1MDB and the Abu Dhabi's International Petroleum Investment Corporation (IPIC) has derailed the US Department of Justice (DOJ) civil suit to seize more than US$1 billion in assets allegedly purchased using funds siphoned from 1MDB, said an Umno leader.

"This arbitration settlement has weakened the US DOJ civil suit and claims that 1MDB's funds were stolen," said Umno supreme council member Mohd Puad Zakarshi in a statement today.

Saham naik akibat berita baik penyelesaian IPIC-1MDB

Investors either view yesterday's news of the 1MDB-IPIC settlement positively or has shrugged it off and continue to pour money into Malaysia.

Bursa Malaysia broke the 1760 points barrier this morning and is up significantly this year. It was just 1611 points back in late December 2016.

Meanwhile our Ringgit has recovered against the USD. This morning, the Ringgit made strong gains against the USD and fell below the RM4.40 barrier for the first time this year and is currently at RM4.385.

With the recent "over-weight" on Malaysia recommendations by major international funds including from Morgan Stanley just last week,  Malaysia should continue to benefit from these foreign funds inflow.

At the end of March, the share of foreign holdings in government bonds was reduced to 24.9% from 29.3% in February - the lowest in six years but the Ringgit did not fall and remained steady.

This suggest that most of the investment by foreigners have now gone to the stock market instead as they bet that Malaysia's economic growth will gather pace for the next few years.

Tidak seperti sesetengah rakyat Malaysia yang mudah percaya kepada propaganda Pakatan kononnya kerajaan Malaysia perlu membayar IPIC, pelabur asing tidak terjerumus kepada penipuan pembangkang itu. Sama ada mereka melihat laporan semalam mengenai penyelesaian 1MDB IPIC sebagai positif atau tidak memperdulikannya dan terus melabur di Malaysia.

Jika pelabur asing terpengaruh dengan dakyah kononnya kerajaan Malaysia perlu membayar USD6 bilion kepada IPIC, tentu sekali mereka sudah menjual saham mereka dan membawa keluar wang. Dan bukannya terus melabur di Malaysia.

Bursa Malaysia memecah paras 1,760 mata pagi ini dan ia meningkat pada tahun ini. Ia hanya 1,611 mata lewat Disember lalu.

Sementara itu, Ringgit terus pulih berbanding Dolar Amerika. Pagi ini, Ringgit terus meraih pulangan kukuh berbanding Dolar Amerika dan menurun pada paras RM4.40 buat pertama kali tahun ini dan kini diniagakan pada RM4.385.

Lanjutan dari saranan oleh firma dana antarabangsa termasuk Morgan Stanley minggu lalu, Malaysia dijangka akan terus menerima manfaat dari pengaliran masuk pelaburan asing.

Pada penghujung Mac, pegangan saham asing dalam bon kerajaan susut 24.9 peratus dari 29.3 peratus pada Februari, angka paling rendah bagi tempoh enam tahun namun Ringgit terus mengukuh.

Ini menunjukkan kebanyakan pelaburan asing kini tertumpu kepada pasaran saham berikutan keyakinan mereka terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Malaysia yang dijangka akan terus menokok bagi tempoh beberapa tahun akan datang.
