马来西亚总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣周二表示,其政府将在三个月内公开发布一个专门工作组关于企业违规行为的调查结果。此举旨在平息民众对政府打击腐败不力所产生的不满情绪。

Malaysia’s government will publicly release the findings of a special task force on corporate malfeasance in three months, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Tuesday, as his administration seeks to appease public anger over its perceived failure to clamp down on corruption.

在执政的最后阶段,安瓦尔正面临严峻考验:过去一年里,他领导的希望联盟在三次州选举中均遭遇惨败。一些曾经的拥护者指责该联盟背弃了改革承诺,转而与前执政党巫统达成政治妥协。

Anwar is facing a reckoning in the final stretch of his term after his ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition was handed bruising defeats in three state elections over the past year. Former supporters have accused the coalition of abandoning its promised reforms in favour of a political compact with former ruling party Umno.

此外,有关所谓“企业黑帮”的指控也进一步加剧了民众不满情绪。据称,马来西亚反贪污委员会的部分官员胁迫企业出售股份或实施并购。

Public discontent has been compounded by allegations of a so-called “corporate mafia” involving officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), who were alleged to have coerced stake sales and corporate takeovers.

马来西亚反贪污委员会以及时任该委员会主席的阿扎姆·巴基均否认了这些指控。这些指控最早由彭博社于今年2月份报道。阿扎姆·巴基本人还被指持有远超政府规定限额的股票。

The MACC and Azam Baki – who was chief commissioner at the time and was himself accused of holding stocks well above government-mandated limits – have denied the allegations, which were first reported by Bloomberg in February. Anwar said he had instructed the Attorney-General’s Chambers to form a special task force on corporate crime made up of representatives from the central bank, the police, the MACC, the Securities Commission and other relevant agencies.

安瓦尔称,他已指示总检察长办公室组建一个由中央银行、警方、反贪污委员会、证券委员会及其他相关机构代表组成的企业犯罪专项工作组。“该工作组将在三个月内完成报告。这将是一份政府官方报告,我已要求将其向公众公布。”安瓦尔在议会问答环节中说道。

“The task force will prepare a report within three months. This report will be a government report, and I have asked that the report be presented to the public,” Anwar told parliament in a question and answer session.

此前数月,有消息称与安瓦尔及其政党关系密切的人士涉嫌卷入“企业黑帮”活动,此次表态正是对此作出的回应。

Anwar’s assurance comes months after allegations emerged that individuals close to him and his party were linked to “corporate mafia” dealings.

这起争议事件源于知名投资者黄文龙的爆料。他指控安瓦尔的前助手法尔哈什·瓦法·萨尔瓦多·里扎尔·穆巴拉克利用执法机构,强行促成信息技术公司NexG的董事会改组。

The controversy followed disclosures by prominent investor Victor Chin Boon Long, who accused former Anwar aide Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak of using enforcement agencies to force a boardroom takeover at IT firm NexG.

NexG 目前持有价值 25 亿令吉(6.123 亿美元)的合同,用于向政府提供护照和国家身份证。

NexG currently holds 2.5 billion ringgit (US$612.3 million) worth of contracts to supply passports and national identity cards to the government.

法哈什否认了这些指控,称他对任何旨在夺取公司控制权的行动一无所知。

Farhash denied the allegations, saying he had no knowledge of any campaign to take control of the company.

陈还声称,他曾向安瓦尔的人民公正党的一名议员支付了 950 万令吉,他仅将此人称为“R先生”,并承诺该政客将帮助解决与“企业黑手党”的问题。

Chin also alleged that he had paid 9.5 million ringgit to a lawmaker from Anwar’s People’s Justice Party, whom he identified only as “Mr R”, on the promise that the politician would help settle a problem with the “corporate mafia”.

人力资源部长拉马南·拉马克里斯南后来否认自己是被指控的那个人,并挑战陈透露“R先生”的身份。

Human Resources Minister Ramanan Ramakrishnan later denied that he was the individual in question and challenged Chin to reveal the identity of “Mr R”.

安瓦尔表示,他的政府从未试图掩盖任何不法行为,即使涉及其本党成员。他指出,他的前政治秘书沙姆斯尔·伊斯坎达尔·莫哈末·阿金因涉嫌收受约 24 万令吉贿赂而于去年十二月被起诉。

Anwar said at no point had his administration attempted to cover up any wrongdoing, even when it involved members of his own party. He pointed to the case of his former political secretary, Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin, who was charged last December for allegedly receiving some 240,000 ringgit in bribes.

首相补充说,政府已冻结或扣押价值约 53 亿令吉的资产和股份,并就企业犯罪相关罪行处以总计 11 亿令吉的复合罚款。

The prime minister added that the government had frozen or seized assets and shares worth around 5.3 billion ringgit and issued 1.1 billion ringgit in compound fines for offences related to corporate crime.

安瓦尔表示,特别工作组报告的公开发布将进一步证明其政府对透明度的承诺。

The public release of the task force report would serve as further proof of his administration’s commitment to transparency, Anwar said.

“这将表明没有人受到保护。无论是阿扎姆·巴基、法哈什、维克多·陈……我们都将允许完全披露,”他说。

“This will show that there is no one that is protected. Be it Azam Baki, Farhash, Victor Chin … we will allow for full disclosure,” he said.
