They Are Killing The Prime Witness

Protests Najadi's Son!

Sarawak Report

The son of the former Chairman of AmBank Hussein Najadi, murdered by an

assassins bullet in July 2013, has reacted with outrage to the outcome of the re-
trial of the man he describes as a hired shooter.

Koong Swee Kuan was found guilty today for a second time, after a re-trial in the
High Court, and sentenced to death for shooting Najadi twice in the heart and
also shooting at his wife, who survived the attack but still suffers from the injuries.

They are murdering the witness. They are putting out of the way the one man
who can tell the authorities who paid him to do this to my father. Instead they
should be interrogating him until he comes out with the truth about who is the real
murderer and why they wanted him dead his son Pascal Najadi told Sarawak
Report. He specifically requested that a gruesome picture of his fatally wounded
father should be published to make his point.

Pascal has said that his father had expressed his concerns before he died about
information he had received about massive corruption at the bank he founded
and had tried to report these issues to the authorities.

After information came out about the central role played by AmBank in the 1MDB
scandal he has campaigned to get a proper investigation into the truth.

However, Pascal has complained, there has been no attempt on the part of
Malaysian investigators to examine the motive behind the murder, for which
Koong was paid RM20,000. Pascal Najadis own informants have told him that
this was a gangland contract, commissioned for a staggering RM30 million by
persons he believed wanted those corruption complaints silenced.

Najadi was lured on false pretences to the scene of the murder by a self-
professed gangland operator and Koong originally indicated that the person who
had hired him to kill the banker whom he did not know was also a gangland
figure named Lim Yuen Soo.

At the time of Koongs arrest a warrant was issued for LimYuen Soo, who was
believed to have fled the country for some while.

However, Pascal Najadi has pointed out that no effort was made by investigators
or the court to examine why people might have hired Lim, who in turn appears to
have hired Koong. With Koongs execution that information will die with him, says
Najadi, who believes higher entities are being thus protected.

In September 2015 the Najadi familiy were informed that Lim Yuen Soo had
finally been arrested at KL airport and taken into custody. However, he had been
released after 8 days owing to an apparent lack of evidence, before the family
were notified. They have appealed to the United Nations over Malaysias failure
to actively investigate the motive behind the murder, which they say is a violation
of their rights.

Red Notice and arrest warrant had been out for two years for the man believed to
have commissioned the murder. However, despite having been on the run for
two years, he was let go without charges in the end being brought.

Appeal to the Malaysian Authorities

Today Pascal Najadi issued the following appeal to the Malaysian authorities in
the light of this latest court judgement:
