00:00Opsky is a case involving several players abroad, or you could say a broker company,
00:09and also involving bank officers.
00:12So, the spirit in this investigation is to involve the banking issue,
00:17involving individuals from various bank agencies or banking systems,
00:23which in the experiment we need to investigate in detail,
00:28because it involves a lot of money,
00:32and so that the loan settlement system can be implemented properly.
00:38Today, I have invited Datuk Si Mak Kul Syari to give his opinion on the Opsky case.
00:44In relation to the development of Opsky-related investigations,
00:48as Mr. Sri mentioned earlier,
00:50the SPRM has a serious view on the issue of loan settlement
00:56and other issues involving private companies,
01:02which supposedly act as financial consultants.
01:06In this case, I need to emphasize that the SPRM,
01:11together with the Bank of Malaysia and several banks involved,
01:18provide full cooperation to disseminate information
01:22related to the financial loan syndicate.
01:27As far as we are concerned,
01:30a total of 21 individuals have been detained to assist in the investigation.
01:37This includes 8 company executives,
01:408 executives and staff of a company,
01:4512 bank employees, and a public official who acts as an agent.
01:50So we do not deny the possibility of further arrests
01:56related to this case.
01:59In addition to that, when we talk about financial institutions,
02:04we also see another Ops that we call Ops Transit,
02:10where this company uses a unit trust.
02:14A unit trust is used to receive investment
02:17and disbursement of this investment for personal interests.
02:21So these are two examples of cases that we focus on
02:26related to financial and banking aspects in Malaysia.
02:31So we ask for cooperation from all parties involved
02:35to provide full cooperation to us.
02:38On Opsky, how many banks are involved?
02:43We cannot name the banks.
02:45I mean, I cannot give the names of the banks,
02:47but it involves more or less 5 or 6 banks that we know in Malaysia.
02:56And I think ladies and gentlemen,
02:58you usually keep this information in a safe place.
03:01So when this case is exposed,
03:05it is not ethical for me to mention the names of the banks involved.
03:14On Opsky, there are 21 people involved.
03:19How much is the loss?
03:22Loss?
03:24$700 million in loans.
03:26Okay, we have announced that the loan is worth $700 million.
03:29But we cannot say that is a form of loss.
03:34But we are doing an analysis and getting clarifications
03:39on how much bribery money is involved in this case.
03:45Because when I mention about
03:48more or less 0.5% to 1%,
03:52paid to the parties involved in the case,
03:56what is important to me, based on my experience,
04:00is not how much money is lost,
04:03but how much money has been received.
04:06This is my responsibility as an investigator
04:10to prove the issue of bribery here.
04:13If I say how much is the loss,
04:16actually the money has reached the plaintiff.
04:19But there are a lot of things from our investigation so far
04:24that have been violated in getting clarification.
04:30There are also parties that should easily get clarification,
04:34but it is difficult to get clarification.
04:39But when it goes through the concerned company or broker,
04:43it seems easy to get clarification.
04:46This is a form of injustice.
04:48So in our investigation,
04:50apart from us trying to get the money back,
04:55but there are cases involving a big issue
04:59related to governance,
05:01especially now when it involves banking.
05:06So if these things,
05:08the people themselves are violating the process of bribery,
05:12this is one thing that tomorrow,
05:14people will not have confidence in the banking system.
05:25Yes, it still remains that figure.
05:28Sorry, now it becomes 22,075,000.
05:32And the amount of bank accounts frozen also has increased?
05:35Yes, increased to 98.
