Former Goldman Sachs Malaysia banker Roger Ng returned to help in 1MDB PROBE

KUALA LUMPUR: Former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng (pic) has arrived in Malaysia to assist investigations on the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal.Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain confirmed that Ng arrived in Malaysia at about midnight.

“He has already arrived in Malaysia and is under police custody. However, I cannot divulge more details on the matter for security reasons,” he said when contacted yesterday.

The IGP also did not indicate when Ng would be brought to court to face charges.

The Attorney General’s Chambers have yet to respond to queries regarding Ng’s return to Malaysia.

Officials from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said the former banker’s return was a matter handled by the police.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail previously said the government’s priority with Ng’s return was to ensure the return of all assets linked to the case.

Saifuddin said Ng was allowed to attend trial in the United States, where he had been convicted but had not yet started serving his jail term.

Last Thursday, Chief US district judge Margo Brodie in Brooklyn had ordered Ng’s surrender to the US Marshals Service by Friday so that he could be turned over to Malaysian law enforcement, who then transported him home.

Ng is facing 10 years in jail in the US after being convicted in New York of helping to loot billions of dollars from 1MDB and would be required to begin his prison term upon his return to that country.

On Sept 5, Singapore’s central bank had banned Ng, also known as Ng Chong Hwa, for life, saying that his “severe misconduct” made it “contrary to public interest to allow him to carry on business as a representative”.

Brodie sentenced Ng in March, 11 months after jurors found him guilty of helping former Goldman boss Tim Leissner embezzle money from 1MDB, launder the proceeds and bribe government officials to win business.

Ng was arrested in Malaysia in November 2018 and agreed to be extradited to the United States.

KUALA LUMPUR: All parties involved in the state elections and Kuala Terengganu by-election must avoid touching on sensitive issues, especially those relating to race, religion and royalty (3R), says Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain.

“We will monitor the situation and action will be taken against those who touch on such issues,” he said.

Razarudin said a 3R task force will complete investigations on 3R offences within seven days after an investigation paper (IP) is opened.

“It is an ideal duration as we don’t want such matters to drag on.

“Once completed, we will refer the IP to the Attorney General’s Chambers,” he told a press conference at Bukit Aman here yesterday.

He reminded all to not cause any provocation or trouble during the elections.

“Sufficient police personnel and officers will be deployed during the campaign period and during the post-election period.

“We will take necessary action to ensure the safety of all involved in the elections,” he said.

The IGP said the nomination process for the six state elections and the by-election had proceeded smoothly.

A total of 17,176 police officers and personnel were deployed on nomination day yesterday and there was no unwanted incident by press time.

“We salute the political maturity of the candidates and their supporters in ensuring a smooth process.

“We hope such behaviour will continue during the campaign period as well,” he said.

He said the police had also deployed 82 Ops Cantas teams comprising 1,459 officers and personnel to take action against any criminal act.

For Kelantan, he said the Ops Cantas teams were deployed in mid-May while the others were sent out on June 29 for the remaining five states.

“So far, more than 400 individuals have been detained.

“The Ops Cantas teams will also monitor activities during the campaign period, such as ceramah,” he said.

He advised candidates to apply for police permits early for campaign activities such as ceramah and walkabouts.

“Applying for the permits is important to avoid any clash or overlapping between rival parties and candidates.

“I told the respective state police chiefs to entertain these applications up to 24 hours before any event but it is better to apply early.

“If there is any application overlap between rival candidates, the applications from those who submitted late will be rejected,” he said.
