PKR plan executive Rafizi Ramli has indicted Prime Minister Najib Razak of favoring Thales, demanding an reason as to since the French multinational association concerned in Malaysia's catastrophic squeeze of dual Scorpene submarines was authorised to enter 3 bids for the billion-ringgit Ampang LRT deal.
According to Rafizi, Thales was concerned in 3 out of eight shortlisted consortia in state-appointed consultant Halcrow's technical analysis report, namely, George Kent-Wijet-Thales, Colas-CMC-Thales as well as Samsung-LG-Thales.
"Every single order was broken in order to give an value to Thales. Who else can have these instructions unless it was underneath the clientele of the budding minister?" Rafizi told the press conference upon Friday.
"It reflects the close attribute in between Datuk Seri Najib Razak as well as this association Thales since the Scorpene purchase."
Only Thales authorised mixed bids by assorted consortia- why?
Najib is believed to have decided to award the project to the George Kent consortium, although it is the least-qualified of all the consortia to commence the job. So far, no official announcement has been done although the Umno-controlled newspapers have already leaked the 'news' quoting unnamed high-level supervision officials.
"From the list of bidders, no alternative ride record suppliers are authorised to send more than the single bid, solely for Thales," pronounc! ed Rafiz i.
He pronounced the "favorable treatment" was opposite the usual "good practice" in the tendering process.
Rafizi has additionally previous shown papers from the Finance ministry's buying unit informing Balfour Beatty-Invensys Consortium that it had won the proposal due to its lowest bid of RM950mil.
The George Kent consortia has not done any criticism nonetheless though it is believed that the highest bid of RM1.45bil was submitted by them, while project owner Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd had endorsed the single of the dual South Korean consortia in the running - PDA Consortium.
Secondary propagandize friend
Earlier this week, Rafizi revealed mins from anothermeeting held by the Finance method buying unit to show that Najib was in full carry out as well as had full believe of what was starting upon in the tender. The mins signed by Najib showed it was the PM himself who led the preference to award the understanding to George Kent.
Listed upon the Malaysian bourse, George Kent Bhd incidentally is controlled by Najib's crony from his delegate propagandize days - Tan Kay Hock.
"The usually expertise George Kent has is in the prolongation water gauge meters. The association was earlier deserted since the association did not meet the minimum technical requirement for the job," Rafizi told the press conference upon Tuesday to reveal the mins he had obtained from unknown sources.
"I think it is the disaster in the making if the association that have water meters is offering the multi-billion ringgit LRT prolongation project."
The Thales-DCNS-Scorpenes link
But what will startle Malaysians most is how Thales was authorised to mountain mixed bid by assorted consortia - the highly strange use as well as as Rafizi pointed out is opposite good practices as well as corporate governance.
Najib will have to remonstrate his countrymen that the value since to Thales value was not related to the RM7.3bil Scorpenes squeeze that he authorised in 2002 as well as is now the theme of the crime trial in Paris.
Thales owes the strategic interest in DCNS, the businessman of the dual submarines.DCNS is the party indicted of profitable bribes of Malaysian officials including Najib to seal the Scorpenes sale.
Speculation is abundant that Najib might now be perplexing to 'placate' DCNS by giving part of the Ampang LRT understanding around George Kent to its owner Thales. Evidence since by officers of DCNS as well as Thales is consequential for the French investigative decider to decide whether or not Najib was without delay involved.
The Malaysian PM faces the possible subpoena to take the declare stand in Paris. Failure to do so might result in him becoming the refugee of the law as distant as Eurozone countries are concerned.
High fraud though usually mere rejection as well as no exploration by the Malaysian authorities
French counsel Joseph Breham, who is behaving upon behalf of Malaysian NGO Suaram, had revealed in May that French investigators found justification display that Thales had paid 32 million euros (RM144 million) to squeeze secret naval papers from Terasasi, the association owned by Najib's close crony Razak Baginda.
Zahid Hamidi, the Malaysian invulnerability minister! , as wel l as alternative tip naval chiefs have been discerning to deny any state secrets had been sold, even before conducting the full probe. This has prompted criticism they were out to cover up for Najib, as the 'natural' greeting would be to scrutinize the French justification as the purported crime was serious - amounting to high-treason.
The censure being listened in the French justice was filed by Suaram after the Malaysian supervision refused to beginner any investigation in to the controversial Scorpene squeeze notwithstanding open cheer over the exorbitantly tall price tab as well as unsuitability of the submarines for the internal coastline.
If found guilty, DCNS might have to recompense the Malaysian people for the overpricing inflated by the bribes. It would additionally pressure the Umno-BN statute bloc to finally call the open inquiry. If the French trial determines that Najib was among those who benefited from the illicit commissions paid by DCNS, he would have no option to resign.
Court papers submitted so distant show the money trail for the purported bribes that lead to Baginda, who has been indicted of being Najib's proxy, as well as Umno, that Najib's statute party.
