民主行动党国会领袖兼振林山国会议员林吉祥于2018年3月13日（星期二）上午11时在国会的新闻发布会文告：
尽管在两天内被两家国际媒体《经济学人》和《MSNBC》公开称为“小偷”，为什么纳吉布依然保持沉默，不提出诽谤诉讼？
这是我国61年来历史上的第一次，我国首相被两个国际媒体机构针对完全不同的课题，在两天内不只一次而是两次被公开称为“小偷”。
其中一个是国际周刊——《经济学人》于2018年3月8日，发表了一篇题为《住手，小偷！马来西亚首相即将偷取选举》的文章。
该报道称，拿督斯里纳吉担心，如果给予选择，大多数选民不会再投票给国阵以让它再度执政，因此正在通过杰利蝾螈式的选区划分和不公平的选民人数分配以及其他策略来“拿走他们的选择”。
报道引用了一马公司丑闻，即美国当局称数十亿令吉被滥用一事，作为主要的论点。
文章写道：“在大多数的国家，一个允许45亿美元从国家发展机构失踪的政府将难以赢得连任。”
“如果大约在同一时间首相的个人账户中出现6.81亿美元，并且轻描淡写地解释那是从一位不具名的仰慕者那里获得的赠款，连任的任务就会更艰难。”
“很明显的掩盖手段包括革除调查或者只是投诉该丑闻的官员，那可能是让选民下定决心的最后一根稻草。然而，在马来西亚的选举，唉，选民不是非常重要的。”
文章继续道：“面对失去权力的风险，政府更加明目张胆地操纵这个制度。国会即将表决新的选区界限。所提出的选区划分图几乎保证了纳吉的另一届任期，尽管他的纪录糟糕透顶。”
它指出“这个做法（选区划分不均）非常不公平，在大多数国家是不合法的，包括马来西亚，因为宪法规定选区的规模必须“大致相等”。
第二天，3月9日，美国电视节目主持人雷切尔•玛多也在她主持的MSNBC频道新闻节目《雷切尔•玛多秀》中，称纳吉为小偷。
玛多详尽地提到了一马公司丑闻，从“阿拉伯捐款”事件到最近的事态发展，包括印尼当局和联邦调查局上周在巴厘岛扣押刘特佐价值十亿令吉的豪华超级游艇“平静号”，以及《华尔街日报》报道其审查储藏的电子邮件后发现，美国总统特朗普的助手和捐助者曾向一马公司主谋刘特佐索取7,500万美元，让美国司法部放弃对一马公司的调查。
以下是上周五《雷切尔•玛多秀》的文字记录：
This new yacht that you own is a $250 million yacht. It`s called “The
Equanimity.” It has now been seized by the FBI, by U.S. federal agents,
and is being handed over to the U.S. government.
So congratulations, U.S. taxpayer! Hope you like your new boat.
I should also tell you that this week, you also just became the proud owner
of $60 million worth of proceeds that were earned by the film “Wolf of Wall
Street.” The producers of the movie have now surrendered $60 million of
what that film made to the U.S. government. So you own those proceeds now
too.
You apparently are also about to become the owner of some of the proceeds
of the movie “Daddy`s Home” starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, and
you are also about to become the owner of some of the proceeds from the
movie “Dumb and Dumber 2” which stars a car that looks like a dog.
In the case of those two movies, though, unlike “Wolf of Wall Street,”
where we know it`s $60 million that you`re getting, I don`t know exactly
how much of the proceeds you are about to get from “Dumb and Dumber 2”, and
the dad one, but you`re about to get some of it as a U.S. taxpayer.
And the reason you are now the owner of all of this new stuff you didn`t
own before is because of this guy. Not the one on the left, the other guy,
who is the prime minister of Malaysia.
If you are the prime minister of a country and hundreds and hundreds of
millions of dollars suddenly show up in your personal bank account, you
better have a really good explanation for that, right? I mean, prime
minister jobs do tend to come with a nice salary, but not hundreds of
millions of dollars overnight kind of salary.
A couple of years ago, though, somebody put almost $700 million into the
bank account of the prime minister of Malaysia. And he really had no good
explanation for it. For months, he just said it was nobody`s business. It
was his money.
He said these allegations, these insinuations that there was anything
inappropriate about the sudden infusion of $700 million into his private
bank account, he said this was just his political opponents trying to
undermine him, there was nothing to see here. Then his own attorney
general and his deputy prime minister started saying, actually, you know,
maybe the prime minister should answer questions about this mysterious $700
million. The prime minister reacted to that by firing both of them. He
fired his deputy prime minister and he fired his attorney general.
The prime minister then appointed a new attorney general to look at the
circumstances of that money turning up in his bank account, and that new
hand-picked attorney general looked into it and declared that really it was
all fine. Nobody had done anything wrong.
And that`s when they decided what their public explanation would be for
where the money came from. The explanation was that that money, that $700
million, it was a present. It was a no-strings-attached gift for the prime
minister from the Saudi royal family. Their line was that there was a
Saudi prince who decided that he liked the prime minister of Malaysia, and
no occasion really, he just decided that the prime minister could probably
do with $700 million, so he gave it to him. Free for nothing.
When that`s your good-sounding explanation, when that`s your “everything is
fine, nothing to see here” excuse that a Saudi prince dropped it off and we
don`t know why, if that`s the good sounding explanation, you know the bad-
sounding explanation must be really, really, really bad.
Well, sure enough, a few months later the United States Department of
Justice filed a 250-page complaint alleging that that $700 million cash
that turned up mysteriously in the personal bank account of the Malaysian
prime minister, that was just a fraction of the proceeds of a gigantic
heist. A giant act of thievery, a corruption scheme, in which the prime
minister and his family and his associates stole billions of dollars from
the Malaysian government, $4.5 billion they stole in cash from the
Malaysian government. And some of it they just stacked up in bank
accounts, but mostly they laundered it all over the world, including in the
United States, which is why the U.S. Justice Department brought the case
even though the money was stolen from the people of Malaysia.
And the list of stuff that they spent the stolen money on is a ridiculous
list of stuff. The prime minister`s family and friends – they bought
penthouses in New York City. They bought mansions in Beverly Hills. They
bought yachts, yes, yachts, Barry White style and otherwise. They bought
Picasso paintings. They did a lot of gambling.
The prime minister`s wife mysteriously ended up with a lot of ridiculous
Jewelry. The prime minister`s step-son used a bunch of the money to
finance some Hollywood movies, including “The Wolf of Wall Street,”
“Daddy`s Home” and “Dumb and Dumber 2” all through a company called Red
Granite Pictures. If you actually watch the trailers for any of those
Hollywood movies, you`ll see a splash page at the beginning of all those
trailers for Red Granite Pictures.
U.S. Justice Department says that was the money laundering vehicle for some
of these gazillions of dollars that were stolen from the Malaysian
government by the prime minister, his family and their associates.
And yes, that`s sort of a bonkers list of things to spend money on,
particularly if you are trying to stay low-key and get away with this kind
of theft, right? Ostentatious much? But in a way, if you think about it,
you sort of have to spend the money on something. It is hard to explain
hundreds of billions of dollars, let alone billions of dollars just sitting
in bank accounts. Maybe it`s better to convert it into real-world salable
assets, converted even into assets that might make a profit. If “Dumb and
Dumber 2” is anywhere near as good as the original, it might be a great
investment.
Well, now, the United States has started the process of seizing the assets
that are believed to have been bought by the criminals who carried off the
scheme. The stuff that was stolen with Malaysian government money, U.S.
federal official, the FBI, started last summer going after the real estate.
They made Leonardo DiCaprio hand over the Picasso that he was given as a
gift by the good people who turned up with barrels full of cash to finance
“The Wolf of Wall Street.” And the Justice Department has continued to
pursue its investigation into this huge heist, this massive theft of
billions of dollars in government funds, which ended up resulting in the
purchase of all of these things.
So, a few things here. Number one, congratulations on your new yacht. It
is lovely! Even to the point where it`s attractive. Two, yes, it was
strange when President Trump hosted the Malaysian prime minister at the
White House just a few months ago, in September, in the middle of this big
investigation. White House never mentioned the federal agents who were
pursuing the Malaysian prime minister as a multi-billion dollar thief in
this gigantic scheme.
There was actually worry in advance of the Malaysian prime minister
visiting Trump that, if on this trip to the White House, the prime
minister`s wife wore some specific jewelry she is known to possess, federal
agents might be put in the awkward position of having to take that jewelry
off her, like maybe when she was leaving the White House grounds, or maybe
at their hotel. Naturally, the Malaysian prime minister and his entourage,
including his wife, all stayed at our president`s hotel in Washington while
they were for that visit, which means that government funds that rightfully
belong to the people of Malaysian have now gone into the pocket of the
Malaysian prime minister himself but also into the pocket of our president.
Nice. No wonder they get along so well.
So, the ongoing Justice Department investigation and the seizure of all
these luxury items bought with the stolen funds, that makes that White
House visit a little weird. Now, it`s getting weirder because the “Wall
Street Journal” has obtained documents, e-mails, that appear to show that a
top Republican fundraiser close to President Donald Trump was in
negotiations to earn tens of millions of dollars if the Justice Department
dropped the investigation into the graft scandal involving a Malaysian
state investment fund.
I should tell you, the specific businessman we`re talking about here who
they were trying to set up some sort of contract with, he is the guy who is
technically the owner of your new yacht, “The Equanimity,” this yacht that
FBI agents just seized in this case. FBI agents have found the yacht, but
the guy himself who is technically the owner, who is allegedly part of this
big theft scheme with the prime minister, that guy has gone missing.
And they are now looking for him right now. But according to the “Wall
Street Journal,” within the last year, these e-mails that “The Journal”
obtained show that a Trump fundraiser was pursuing a draft business
agreement with that guy, the guy who is now a fugitive, right, the guy who
owns the yacht and cannot be found. Elliott Broidy and his wife were
pursuing a deal in which he and his wife would get paid a cool $75 million
if they were able to succeed in getting the Justice Department to drop this
Malaysian case.
This is weird, right? This massive corruption case, massive heist, multi
billion-bar scheme and Trump is hosting the prime minister at the center of
it, in the middle of this big case by the Justice Department?
And the main business guy who also seems to have benefited from it, at
least it got him a $250 million yacht, he is involved with one of Trump`s
fundraisers who are asking for a $75 million payment to get the U.S.
Justice Department to drop this case against him. It`s a strange story,
right? Who knows where this one ends?
纳吉会提告吗？马来西亚首相是否会清洗自己的名字和声誉，如果不是为了他自己的缘故，至少也是为了马来西亚这个国家和3,000万马来西亚人民的利益？
不仅是美国、澳洲、英国、欧洲和其他国际媒体报道了一马公司丑闻，甚至东协媒体也报道了。印尼著名时事杂志《Tempo》报道了一马公司丑闻和马来西亚政府掩耳盗铃的事，尽管各国外当局正对该案件进行调查。
这份周刊在最新一期的封面上刊登了一马公司丑闻，以漫画画出刘特佐在平静号上，以及周刊内的几篇文章，包括一篇标题为《外部无阻，内部停滞》的文章。
它指出，马来西亚当局在过去三年进行的调查，并未针对与这家国家投资基金挂钩的个人提出任何控告。
“调查这起腐败案件的另外9个国家发现了跟马来西亚政府的主张相矛盾的事实。”
“联邦调查局已经证实商人刘特佐和一马公司之间的牵连，甚至断定平静号是用一马公司债券筹集的资金购买的，”《Tempo》在报道中如此表示。
马来西亚人必须提出的问题是，马来西亚是否已成为双重全球盗贼统治国家，首先是因为一马公司丑闻，第二是正如《经济学人》所指控的那样，来临的第14届全国大选将被盗。
纳吉不能继续表现得好像他视而不见、充耳不闻和有口不言！除了清洗自己和国家的名声，他别无选择。
