God has not spoken but authority has [up-dated]

In case anyone did not notice, we wrote in our posting yesterday:

Only Allah knows the ultimate truth but for us mere mortal, the truth lies with the authority. The statement by AG Tan Sri Gani Patail to "semak" [read here] led some to suspect the existence of documentary evidences.

We are no prophet and God has not spoken directly to us.

However, the authority has. It is NEITHER Sarawak Report, WSJ, The Edge, or other satellite media, NOR Tony Pua and Rafizi. The taskforce on the investigation of the Ambank accounts just gave a statement an hour or two ago, below:

There are 6 accounts frozen and 17 accounts from two banks investigated.

There will be those likely to speculate the three accounts mentioned by Wall Street Journal exist. It is most likely but it is not mentioned, thus not confirmed.

Some commentators said Dato Najib could authorise the Banks to issue a statement on his personal accounts and reveal the full content of his banks statement. If it is his accounts, it could be done. But if the accounts do not exist and not his, it cannot be done.

Down there, the public feels Ambank could make a denial statement on the non-existent of such accounts. That is speculations that only leads to perception. No way of stopping what people think. It is easier to get factual.
  
As of today, there have been no statement other than this from Bank Negara Malaysia. None from Ambank. Yesterday, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said BAFIA does not allow BNM and Ambank to comment on clients' accounts.

Thus far, The Star's claim that there will be a lawsuit by Dato Najib on Wall Street Journal have not happened.

It is not as easy as buying murtabak.

Update 10:30 PM

Just checked our smartphone to find the following message sent during the break of fast:


Subsequently, we received the following at 10:00 PM.


Sarawak Report was showing the following on their website:


With the swings in information streaming in, the suggestion would be to not be too quick wiyh conclusion.


Sit back and watch the events unfold. Heard more interesting to come after Raya.

Could the announcement today be about giving allowance for Ambank to bypass BAFIA to make statement on the alleged Najib's account?

Whether one believe the WSJ document or not, the story is still incomplete. How could such transaction occur and money got deposited? Why 2 years later for BNM; sleeping on the job?

It is the beginning of malam tujuh likur or holiest last 10 nights of Ramadhan. For Muslims, lets not put that to waste.
