PAS said today it did not fully agree with 1Malaysia Development Berhad\u2019s (1MDB) ways of resolving the state fund\u2019s financial problems.<\/p>\n
In a press conference here today, PAS deputy president Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said that a recent meeting between the Islamist Opposition party and 1MDB president Arul Kanda Kandasamy was only to understand the issues surrounding the state-owned entity, instead of \u201ccriticising them openly\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we discussed the options and we all know that they had to sell off the assets which they have. Okay, so we told them that regarding [the] nation\u2019s fund, the people\u2019s money, we don\u2019t allow to be used.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t agree to a few things, especially when the assets are parked under the Finance Ministry. It\u2019s not impossible that [the] nation\u2019s funds will be used. So there were few things we didn\u2019t agree. So for PAS, we said assets must be monitored by Parliament,\u201d he said, adding that PAS had also insisted for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into 1MDB.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we say we are satisfied, we are satisfied with their explanation, not the (rationalisation) plan and all the swindling. No.<\/p>\n
\u201cPAS now, we want to see, because we want the idea to form an RCI to be sped up,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Last week, PAS organ Harakah Daily reported Tuan Ibrahim saying that the party was satisfied with Arul Kanda\u2019s explanation on the strategic fund\u2019s rationalisation plan.<\/p>\n
Despite that, the Islamist party said it was still pushing for the Parliament to monitor 1MDB\u2019s assets, in addition to reiterating its call for an RCI on the matter.<\/p>\n
