ICIJ reveals Zeti's family got hidden offshore companies keeping funds in off shore tax havens

Everything to hide: ICIJ reveals Bank Negara Governor Zeti Aziz link to offshore bank accounts

August 3, 2015 The Recounter

Swiss banking major UBS AG figures as the “master client” for several offshore entities floated by members of Bank Negara Governor Zeti Aziz’s family in tax havens such as British Virgin Islands (BVI), according to the database put up by the International Consortium Of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

Master client refers to an intermediary or go-between, which helps a client set up an offshore entity. It is a method used by rich individuals to mask the true ownership of companies. Offshore bank accounts are used by the wealthy to avoid taxes, protect assets from the reach of the law whilst maintaining a high level of secrecy.

In an effort to mask the fact that true ownership in the companies Iron Rhapsody Limited and Glittering Snow international ltd is held by members of Zeti Aziz’s family, multiple layers of BVI shell companies were used.

The Family

BNM Governor Zeti Aziz's husband Tawfiq Ayman, Aziz Ayman and Alif Ayman are listed as directors or shareholders of offshore bank accounts.

It is learnt that UBS AG’s Singapore unit helped Zeti Aziz’s family set up the BVI’s whilst the company Portcullis TrustNet Group appears as the record and register keeper of the family’s offshore companies.
Portcullis Trustnet lists it's jurisdiction as the British Virgin Isles. A popular destination for wealthy Malaysians.

In a deliberate attempt to mask the true ownership of the companies, complex structures of registration and ownership of shell companies through nominees were used.

UBS Singapore was used to set up companies registered under Porticulis TrustNet (BVI) Limited. An offshore entity known as Sharecorp Ltd acted as nominee shareholder. This is a nominee company that acts on behalf of the beneficial owner of an entity to provide an extra level of secrecy.

This was followed by additional layers of proxy companies where by Sharecorp limited was listed as a shareholder of a company called Excorp Limited which was listed as nominee shareholder of Mermeden Ltd which listed shareholding rights in the companies Iron Rhapsody Limited and Glittering Snow international ltd.

Multiple layers of companies are used in an effort to mask the true identities of the owners.

Sharecorp is nominee shareholder of at least 100s of companies for Asian high net worth individuals and holds a stake in a few hundred offshore entities, according to ICIJ.

Hidden Funds under the control of the Family

Two offshore BVI companies are clearly under the control of the family. The first company Glittering Snow International Ltd lists the following as shareholders:

2008

The second British Virgin Isles (BVI) offshore company known as Iron Rhapsody Limited lists the following as shareholders:

2007

Zeti’s husband Tawfiq Ayman and two sons Aziz Tawfiq Ayman and Alif Tawfiq Ayman are listed as shareholders of the companies.

The address linked to the companies include that of 23 Jalan Tunku Putra, Bukit Tunku 50480 Kuala Lumpur which we were able to verify as the home of Zeti Aziz.

23 Jalan Tunku Putra, bukit tunku 50480 Kuala Lumpur
The BVI companies controlled by the family of Zeti Aziz are registered to the home address that sources confirm is the home of the Bank Negara Malaysia Governor.

Portcullis TrustNet Group – Used by the families of the ruling elite, clients include the likes of Suharto, Ne Win and Marcos

The Portcullis TrustNet Group describes itself as “an external service provider engaged by individuals who have planning needs”.

“One-stop shop”: the Portcullis TrustNet Cook Islands branch is on the third floor.

In 1996 and 1997 Porticullis TrustNet helped establish two British Virgin Islands companies for Aye Zaw Win, the son-in-law of General Ne Win, a military strongman who ruled Burma for three decades.

After the fall of the Indonesian dictator Suharto in 1998, a number of his family and other rich Indonesians began appearing as TrustNet clients, the documents obtained by ICIJ show.

Among the wealthy Indonesians was Suharto’s cousin Sudwikatmono. In the months after Suharto’s fall, Sudwikatmono retained a lawyer thousands of miles away in California by the name of Machiavelli W. Chao. The lawyer in turn sent Sudwikatmono and his money thousands of miles from both California and Indonesia, to the Cook Islands.

TrustNet helped the family set up the secret Wilshire International Trust and two offshore companies, Truease Ltd. and Rodeo International. The trust’s beneficiaries, according to documents, included Sudwikatmono’s wife, his son Agus and what appear to be his three daughters.

Related to a fallen dictator, Agus is currently one of the richest men in Indonesia.

Sudwikatmono has since died, but his son emerged as one of Indonesia’s richest people, according to Forbes.

TrustNet also set up the secretive Sintra Trust in the British Virgin Islands for Maria Imelda Marcos Manotoc and her three sons. Imee, as she is known, is the oldest child of the former Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos who plundered his country’s finances and resources and enriched his family and business associates.

Hidden funds and conflict of Interests

It comes as a complete shock that the very person who is responsible for maintaining monetary and financial system stability in Malaysia does not maintain her family’s wealth locally.

Are we missing a part of the puzzle? Are there hidden reasons as to why it is necessary for the family to keep their assets abroad?

Perhaps Zeti and her family can explain why funds are being kept in two BVI companies in a similar fashion that we have seen with BVI’s set up for Marcos and Suharto.

Bank Negara Malaysia is the sole authority in issuing the national currency and in managing the country’s international reserves. Governor Zeti is also entrusted to protect and strengthen the foreign exchange market. The existence of BVI accounts linked to the Zeti Aziz’s family brings into questions significant questions about the fiscal stability of Malaysia.

In order to maintain the credibility of Bank Negara Malaysia and it’s Governor, it is critical that Zeti Aziz reveals the full details of bank accounts linked to her family. Failure to give full public access to the linked BVI company accounts would only imply guilt.

Consensus

ICIJ’s reporting to date has revealed the offshore dealings of politicians, oligarchs, rogue nations and even religious leaders. Extensive reporting by ICIJ and others show that the anonymity granted by the offshore economy facilitates money laundering, tax evasion, fraud and other crimes.

Even when it’s legal, transparency advocates argue that the use of an alternative, parallel economy undermines democracy because it benefits a few at the expense of the majority.

So now everybody got dirty hands if the above report is to be believe.

Reading between the lines

The Star: Local Govt Polls

" ‘Local govt polls may cause racial polarisation’

KOTA KINABALU: Local government elections are not viable as Malaysians still largely vote based on racial backgrounds, said Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan.

Such polls could thus result in greater racial polarisation in the country, he warned.

DAP has called for local government elections to be reintroduced but the proposal has received criticism from its Pakatan Rakyat partner, PAS, not least from its party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, who said the move could eventually lead to a repeat of the May 13 riots.

After local government elections were abolished on March 1, 1965, appointments to local councils have been made by the ruling party of the state.

Abdul Hadi’s remarks followed an earlier war of words between PAS secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali and DAP organising secretary Anthony Loke.

Mustafa had labelled DAP “arrogant” for claiming that PAS’ hudud plan was against Pakatan’s common principles, but violating those principles themselves to implement the local council elections."

All this threat of May 13 both by PAS and BN. Guess reading between the lines is that the Malays must be in control of local councils in each state. Why I say this? Look at urban areas, we know that urban areas is mostly populate by Chinese, so if local council is elected guess it will be mostly chinese reps elected in urban areas. Why may 13 is repeatedly mention both by PAS and BN? The basis of that is so glaringly obvious. Its not that nominated reps are better than elected reps, we can see that most are also not that professional in their jobs, most don't have the qualifications for the job anyway. In saying that, the same can be said for elected reps too.

They claim that it would lead to racial polarisation but that statement itself is racially bias already.

Agree or don't agree /k/?

Example, local council in PG. LGE's mobile is available for anyone to call directly for anything and he has a open door session every Wednesday (if I recall correctly) and anyone can go visit on that day. So if there is a problem like cannot get license because the pegawai want minum kopi else cannot get what you want you just have to go and tell LGE. He will then call that officer or director or whomever to come to the office to answer the reason why. If no valid reason is given then he will instruct that the approval be given immediately. This not to say graft doesn't happen (state level) but guess the tactics used now are more sophisticated. But that applies to big projects, small business man now don't have to face so much minum kopi culture once everything required for your business is in place. I figure that is one of the reasons why LGE is pushing for local council elections, since he has to put up to all this crab anyway better make it more democratic and let the people elect their local council. Either way he has to put up with the same issues. Might even be a better way to counter check cronyism since you can get elected but cannot place your own friends in local council positions.

what is /k/'s opinion?

Just read this story in Malaysia Kini and now I'm wondering what has happen to our Police force.

QUOTE

A businesswoman has lodged a police report that she was assaulted and sexually harassed by police when she was interrogated at the Sri Petaling police station on the morning of March 24.

Speaking in Mandarin, the woman Lim Hui Hui (left in photo) said: "The lady officer on duty at the station asked me to urinate into a bottle to run tests on the urine, but my hands were handcuffed behind my back.

"When I asked her how could I take off my pants to do it, she squeezed my breasts and said that I just have to do it."

This happen to a mother of 4 kids whom was at home alone while she was detain for no reason in the police station for three to four hours. Best part was what the police said after she made a report about this incident.

QUOTE

Contacted by Malaysiakini later, Brickfields deputy OCPD Supt Aida Abdul Hamid said she met with Lim and an aide of the Seputeh MP on the matter this afternoon.

Aida said the police would look into Lim's complaint but the police has yet to decide which unit to take charge.

"Either the Brickfields police or the (Bukit Aman) discipline unit (will investigate the case)... we are waiting the order from the headquarters."

She also said the police officer accused of the assault would not be suspended for the moment, until at least the investigation is announced.

"If we have to suspend police officers everytime there is a complaint, we will then have no officers on duty."

I can't feel safe anymore. In my opinion the rational thing to do is to suspend all involve in this incident immediately pending investigation (at least it is the honourable thing to do!). And from OCPD Supt Aida Abdul Hamid's response don't you get the impression that there are lots of complains made against the police officers?

What /k/'s opinion on this?

WTA Sound Blaster Digital Music Premium HD

slimfox — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 23:43:22 +0800

Early this month I bought the Creative Sound Blaster x-fi surround 5.1 pro from Viewnet. Today itchy and went to LYP again and saw Viewnet have in stock Sound Blaster Digital Music Premium HD. Price difference is bout RM100 the later being more expansive. Read on the box that its a real audiophile product with audiophile grade components (SNR 114db).

The 5.1 sounds good on my current setup. So now I'm wondering how good is the Sound Blaster Digital Music Premium HD. Itching to upgrade if its really much better than the 5.1 pro. If its only a marginal difference then I will pass.

So anyone has had a chance to review this item and can share/advise?
