FORMER prime minister Najib Razak must explain why there was a need for the Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB) to sell a prized plot of to a Finance Ministry special purpose vehicle, Aset Tanah Negara Bhd (ATNB), instead of the ultimate buyer, MRB chairman Sankara Nair said.
MRB had no need of funds at the time and had no other reason for the sale, which caused it to be shortchanged of RM780 million after buyer ATNB sold the land to Employees’ Provident Fund subsidiary Kwasa Land Sdn Bhd for RM2.28 billion. ATNB had bought the land from MRB for RM1.5 billion.

1. When ATNB acquired the property and sold it at a far higher price to EPF, he has actually caused EPF to spend more of its members money to buy the property. The extra money that EPF paid for the property could have been invested in another project to generate additional returns.. In this case it was an opportunity cost for EPF.
(I think all EPF members including the union representatives who sit on the EPF Board should report this issue and raise it with the relevant authorities. It is abuse of EPF funds).
2. What happened to the excess profit made by ATNB? There should be an forensic investigation on the money trail by MACC ti determine the ultimate beneficiary of the RM780 million..
3. Bernard Dompok is pushing it back to the Government, saying its a government directive. Doesnt he realise that he IS THE GOVERNMENT! If there is any wrong doing, he then could be liable for abetment!
