Malaysia Needs More Tactful Handling of 1MDB Mess                                                   
https://www.bloomberg.com/view/a ... ndling-of-1mdb-mess

The finance minister must remember his day job. 財政部長必須記得他的工作是什麽
                           


Malaysia’s new finance minister is taking a sledgehammer to 1MDB. A less blunt tool would do the job just as well, probably better.

Lim Guan Eng is busy telling the world about the shocking state of affairs at the scandal-ridden state fund. But that won’t sate the Malaysian public’s desire for justice. Investors, meanwhile, are uneasy about things getting out of hand. Already, foreigners have sold out of the nation’s stocks for 13 consecutive days. For Lim to declare in his first press conference that government debt has exceeded 1 trillion ringgit ($251 billion) because of a sly public bailout of 1MDB gets him full marks for honesty, but not for tact.

The amount, 45 percent higher than previously reported, could have been disclosed when Lim had a firm plan to pay it down 林部長其實可以等到他有了完整的還債計劃才公佈. But the new government is suddenly short of revenue: Lim’s boss, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, has gotten rid of the unpopular goods and services tax to thank voters for returning him to power after 15 years.

GST 拯救了因油价下跌而失去的收入

That’s all well and good. But the three-year-old GST fetched $11 billion for the exchequer last year, or 3.3 percent of GDP. Replacing it with another type of consumption tax will have to wait for the new parliament to convene, which won’t be until the end of June or early July.

Why does Lim want to risk leaving investors with an uncertain fiscal outlook until then? With U.S. interest rates firming, all emerging economies are under pressure. Malaysia, too, has seen foreigners pull out about $800 million from its bond market. Can Lim keep a lid on negative sentiment? This week’s events give cause for doubt.

On Tuesday, Lim issued a harsh press release after meeting officials connected to 1MDB, which the U.S. Department of Justice believes was the epicenter of a multibillion-dollar scheme of plunder and money laundering.

1MDB is insolvent, the minister said, citing directors. Well, investors have long suspected that to be the case.  

The existence of as much as $2.5 billion of the fund’s overseas assets is in doubt, Lim said. Even that tallies with facts.

Why else would public money be used to prop up 1MDB if it had liquid assets offshore? In fact, Lim has himself provided a list of payments made by the Ministry of Finance to 1MDB creditors. Starting last year, they add up to almost $1.75 billion.

Give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he’s preparing the ground to justify use of public money to make another $36 million interest payment on May 30. But then Lim went on to say that he had found Arul Kanda, the 1MDB president, to be “utterly dishonest and untrustworthy.” Kanda retaliated by calling the remarks potentially defamatory. The minister had left out the context of his answers and made him look bad, he said in a statement, adding that he was seeking legal advice.

The colorful language against Kanda is jarring in an official press release. Malaysia isn’t a banana republic 馬來西亞不是香蕉囯 , but a sovereign rated A3 by Moody’s Investors Service. Lim is no longer an opposition politician 林冠英已經不是反對黨了 but an important part of a new government that can initiate legal proceedings against any 1MDB officials or directors. Corruption in high places was the reason Malaysians voted out the Barisan Nasional coalition that had ruled for six decades — including for 22 years under Mahathir. Kanda’s honesty isn’t what interests them. They’re waiting for Mahathir to make good on his promise to bring charges against his predecessor, Najib Razak.

The very institutions in Malaysia that have to ensure economic stability are under stress. After the Wall Street Journal reported that proceeds from a land deal involving the central bank were used to pay an Abu Dhabi state fund — a 1MDB creditor — the central bank had to issue a statement saying it had bought government land at fair value.

The situation is delicate enough for Lim to pull back a little. His desire to blow the lid off the 1MDB scandal is understandable. But for the finance minister to pursue that goal at the expense of his day job — of keeping the economy in good shape, and investors reassured — would be inexcusable 林冠英想要督爆1MDB醜聞的欲望是可以理解的,但爲了滿足這個目標而犧牲掉自己作爲財政部長該做的-確保投資者信心和維持經濟穩定,是不可原諒的.



西方媒體措辭強烈批評林冠英的救國行動=把馬來西亞當成香蕉國的pariah表現,這樣對嗎?

因为人民急着要知道实际情况,好像509大选成绩,到了10号早上都还没有好,大家都急死了。
公布出来,知道真相,也算满足大家的要求。否则,不得民心

不查清楚马来西亚的账目,如何得到世界的信任?

透明才可以获得各国的信心,而不是像国阵隐瞒,蒙骗过关

我多年来都有阅读主流西方政治时事和财经杂志的习惯,包括the times,the economist,nikkei asia review,newsweek等等,自从2015年鸡鸡变成国际pariah以后,基本不会看到任何稍微正面的关于鸡鸡的报导。

可是bloomberg businessweek在大选前竟然给鸡鸡来个相当正面的封面报道(2018年4月30日那期),瞓身为鸡鸡背书,我看到时都吓了一跳

看来是bloomberg businessweek的某些驻亚洲记者濑野了,条气唔顺,要找人出气。

林神真正进office当财神连100个小时都没到,久咩?

这个只是很普通的market correction/adjustment,根本不值得大惊小怪。在那边大呼小叫的人,居心可想而知

人家怎样说都是国际主流媒体,背书不是用亚洲经济鬼才或唇红齿白之类的马华仔/中立仔专用的显性低级吹棒手法的。

在大选前给人家一个专题报道,封面大大个唇红齿白,访问的问题都是串好的,当然是背书了。

(如果不是那种事先沟通好,问题事先filtered过的访问,什么可以问,什么是taboo的,你真的以为鸡鸡会大方接受国际媒体的访问?随便问几个尖锐的1MDB/tabung haji/felda的问题,鸡鸡都要吃不了兜着走了)

bloomberg businessweek 4月30日那期,各大书局都还在卖着,有机会去看看,再自己决定是不是背书吧。
