‘UN to take over Malaysia as interim government’
International banker Pascal Najadi, son of slain Ambank founder Hussain Najadi, has been making all kinds of accusations against 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) Prime Minister Najib Razak and Malaysia in the global media.
Not only is he just making accusations, he has taken action by lodging a petition with the Geneva-based Human Rights Council, saying that he and his family have been made desperate by the blatant refusal of the Malaysian authorities to properly investigate his father’s murder in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It is perplexing why 1MDB Najib and Malaysia has yet to take any legal action against Pascal for making such serious allegations against Malaysia, a sovereign nation.
Malaysia’s silence on the allegations are just deafening, to say the least.
The following latest accusations, claims and allegations made by Pascal is amazingly damning to 1MDB Najib and Malaysia:

NAJIB REGIME IN 'DEATH THROES', INTERIM GOVT FACILITATED BY UN SECURITY COUNCIL TO TAKE OVER - SON OF SLAIN BANKER PREDICTS
Written by Anastasia Suvorova
As part of installing the Interim Government in Malaysia, current Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak must step down and be brought to justice for numerous financial scandals, abuse of power, conflict of interest and even alleged “murders”.GENEVA (Switzerland) - A Geneva and Moscow based Investment Banker, who once called Malaysia home, has warned that it was about time that the United Nations, the international community and world governments take a good, long hard look at what’s really happening in his former homeland where his late father Hussain Najadi, who founded a bank, was assassinated in Kuala Lumpur, the capital.
The world must not be slow to react as in the case of the Philippines, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Yugoslavia, Syria and other tragedies, he stressed.
“The world must go beyond its current concerns on the regime of kleptocrats in power in Malaysia and beyond the mega global financial scandals and money laundering involving those at the very top,” said Swiss-born Investment Banker Pascal Najadi. “The money trail, ignored by the country's Attorney General, is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.”
Away from the financial misdeeds, cautioned Najadi, is what the world can do to push for regime change in Malaysia.
He sees an Interim Government, facilitated by the UN Security Council, as the way forward in Malaysia. “An Interim Government can help clean up the electoral rolls and pave the way for the first clean, free and fair elections after nearly sixty years of government under the same ruling party in power for an unprecedented uninterrupted stretch."
As part of installing the Interim Government in Malaysia, said Najadi, current Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak must step down and be brought to justice for numerous financial scandals, abuse of power, conflict of interest and even alleged “murders”. “My father’s own assassination was never probed by the police. There was no interest on the part of the police to probe motive.”
“Motive is central in upholding Rule of Law and ensuring that a government has legitimacy.”
Again, the bottomline in Malaysia added Najadi is that the ruling party in Malaysia has been in power for nearly 60 years, an uninterrupted period with few parallels in the world. “It was fear that it would lose power in the 2013 General Election that led the regime to engage in all sorts of financial misdeeds as an insurance against feared loss of political power."
He pointed out that there's no evidence that all the monies that left the country, before 2013, through government linked companies and government linked investment corporations -- through proxies and nominees -- has come back. "What we only know are about loans taken through bonds issued and pocketed by the regime."
Although the ruling party lost the popular vote, it managed to cling to power in 2013, as a result of the widespread gerrymandering of electoral boundaries, and blatant electoral fraud and offences, he reminded. "The Election Commission (EC) looked the other way.”
Najadi said that his father knew about the financial misdeeds of the regime and even alerted Bank Negara Governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz. “My late father, so brutally murdered in a street outside a temple in Kuala Lumpur in late July 2014, had learnt that unusually large sums of money were being deposited in AmBank which my father founded.”
He confessed it's not known what the central bank Governor did with the information. "But what’s also known is that my late father whispered the same information to more than a few people at the very top.”
"Malaysia is terminally ill, about to fall apart and has proven to the world not being a reliable partner to its justice, citizens and institutions alike." Najadi concluded.

Najadi Takes His Case To The United Nations
21 June 2016
The perceived paralysis of law and order in present day Malaysia has led to a ground-breaking and potentially humiliating development, where the son of the assassinated banker Hussein Najadi has asked the United Nations to intervene to investigate the crime.
Pascal Najadi slapped his petition into the Geneva based Human Rights Council on Monday, saying that he and his family have been made desperate by the blatant refusal of the Malaysian authorities to properly investigate his father’s murder.
Son Pascal Najadi has campaigned to identify the people behind his father’s murder
He cites the fact that Najadi was criticising suspicious transactions at AmBank, linked to the present Prime Minister, shortly before his death, as the most likely reason for the inertia on the part of the Malaysian investigators.
The veteran, aged 75, was gunned down in the street in KL in July 2013 after threatening to blow the whistle on what he described as massive corruption at the bank, which he had founded and was still an advisor to, according to his son.
Subsequently, it has been established that Najib had indeed accumulated over a billion dollars in his personal accounts at Ambank, in readiness for the general election in March.
The Prime Minister claims this was an anonymous donation to help UMNO win, but evidence is mounting that it was cash siphoned from the scandal-hit development fund 1MDB.
Much of the money was later transferred back out of KL following the election and the subsequent trail is subject to investigations across several countries, in what is believed to be the world’s largest money laundering investigation.
Tranches of the cash have been frozen by the Singapore authorities and money is also believed to have been frozen in Hong Kong, where it has been alleged much of the AmBank funds were moved to next, following suspicious transaction alerts by Singapore.
Special Rapporteur for Arbitrary Executions
Under UN procedure the Najadi family lawyers have addressed their complaint to the Special Rapporteur for Arbitrary Executions, whose remit they say includes the situation facing the murdered banker.
“Certain lines of enquiry have not been followed in the investigation into the murder of Hussein Najadi – purposefully not pursued – which would have included exploring the motives for executing Najadi, including his noted vocal criticism of Najib Razak’s regime, corruption and Najib himself” says Nick Kauffman, Najadi’s lawyer.
Kauffman refers specifically to the failure to press charges against the man who was identified by police as the man who hired the hitman, who has already been jailed. Lim Yuen Soo was on a Red Notice list for 2 years charged with the murder, but was only eventually arrested after major publicity last year.
He was held secretly by Malaysian police for 8 days and then released on grounds of insufficient evidence.
‘Either he was the wrong man, in which case what has been done to find the right one, or he was exonerated because there was insufficient evidence, in which case why have the Malaysian authorities failed to pursue the case sufficiently to get that evidence?” says Kauffman
The Najadi family have complained there has been virtually no investigation of the background to the case and that they themselves were never questioned about the potential motives.
Hired hitman, Koong Swee Kwan has been sentenced to death – another classic Malaysian fall guy?
It is now for the Special Rapporteur to decide if there is evidence of a deliberate failure to pursue normal enquiries and procedures in this case and if the UN agrees the complaint is admissible, which is discretionary, the Rapporteur has the ability to issue a letter of allegations to Malaysia to request cooperation in further discovery of the case. Pascal Najadi told Sarawak Report:
“We demand that Malaysia conducts a proper investigation in to the Hussain Najadi Assassination and to shed light on the role of the alleged mastermind Lim Yuen Soo that was on Red Notice alert with INTERPOL for two years. For us the survivors it is a difficult process not being able to find closure. It is a constant struggle but, as with life, we will not give up.”
Malaysia is entitled to ignore the process, an option its rogue prime minister could well fall back on, as the country’s credibility erodes further on matters of law and order and human rights."
