IMPORTANT: Ini bebenang (Thread) ringkasan eksekutif Laporan Pengauditan #1MDB yang dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Audit Negara
Latar belakang: Cabinet 4/5/15 arah JAN utk verify akaun 1MDB utk pembentangan di PAC. 27/2/15 PAC minta JAN buat audit 1MDB. JAN memulakan audit 1MDB pada 10/3/15. Audit period: 10/3/15 hingga 15/6/15. Interim report diberikan ke PAC pada 9-10/7/15
JAN hadapi limitasi semasa membuat audit kerana sebahagian dokumen asal dan penting lewat diserahkan atau tidak diserahkan oleh 1MDB bagi tujuan pengesahan transaksi dan bukti. Limitasi ini memberi impak signifikan terhadap pengauditan.
Even though turnout for 2018GE > 2013GE, the absolute people coming out to vote is the highest in Malaysia's history. This is remarkable because voting day is mid-week.
Until today, SPR/EC do not provide explanation why they made voting day on Wednesday
Now on to the results....
UMNO is the biggest loser. GE13= 88 seats (+9) GE18= 54 (-34)
BN 2nd biggest losre. GE13= 133 seats (-7) GE18= 79 (-54)
