1MDB: Minta tangguh bayar pinjaman RM2 Billion untuk kali ketiga?

Pelik ni.. katanya dana yang bernilai RM7 bilion dari Pulau Cayman telah dibawa pulang ke Malaysia.. tapi kenapa pula perlu minta penangguhan untuk membayar pinjaman RM2 Billion?

Bagi yang mengikuti perkembangan 1MDB syarikat yang diilhamkan oleh Presiden UMNO Najib Tun Razak tentu telah membaca kenyataan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) baharu 1MDB, Arul Kanda Kandasamy pada 13 Januari lalu bahawa dana AS$2.318 bilion sudah ditebus semula.

Dana yang berjumlah kira-kira RM7 bilion itu dikatakan sudah dibawa balik dari Pulau Cayman dan memasuki sistem perbankan Malaysia.

Tapi laporan dari Bloomberg semalam menyatakan 1MDB buat kali ketiga memohon untuk mendapatkan lanjutan sebulan lagi tempoh bayaran pinjaman RM2 bilion kepada bank di Malaysia.

Ini bagi membolehkan 1MDB mempunyai cukup masa dan tempoh untuk menjual pegangan dalam unit tenaga yang dimiliki mereka pada ketika ini.

Persoalannya ialah kalau dah ada RM7 Billion dana dalam tangan kenapa perlu minta penangguhan membayar pinjaman yang berjumlah RM2 Billion tu?

Berikut adalah sebahagian dari laporan oleh Bloomberg yang dimaksudkan..

1MDB Said to Seek Loan Extension Before $3 Billion Energy IPO
(Bloomberg) -- 1Malaysia Development Bhd. is planning to seek another one-month extension on a 2 billion ringgit ($554 million) loan to give it more time to sell a stake in its energy unit, two people familiar with the matter said.
The state-owned investment company needs more time to repay the debt as it’s still in discussions with billionaire T. Ananda Krishnan, Malaysia’s second-richest person, said the people who asked not to be named as the process is private. Krishnan may excercize an option, granted when he sold energy assets to 1MDB in 2012, to buy part of the Edra Global Energy Bhd. unit, the people said. A spokesman for 1MDB declined to comment when contacted by phone.
1MDB, whose advisory board is headed by Prime Minister Najib Razak, has been criticized by opposition politicians for its increasing debt, which reached 41.9 billion ringgit as of March 2014, according to the company’s annual report. Once it has settled the loan, IMDB plans to list Edra Global in a $3 billion initial public offering that would be Malaysia’s biggest since Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd. went public in 2012.
Bank Negara Malaysia doesn’t comment on individual companies, Governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz told reporters in Putrajaya, outside of Kuala Lumpur, when asked about 1MDB’s debt on Tuesday.
“We have arrangements to deal with it, so that no individual entity is going to have systemic implications on the overall financial system and our economy,” she said.
If granted, it will be the third extension of the loan from Malayan Banking Bhd. and four other lenders. 1MDB was given a grace period until the end of January to repay the debt, The Edge newspaper reported Jan. 6.
