Irwan Serigar Abdullah attempts to divorce 1 MDB advisory board from 1 MDB............but the Sergeant Shultz defense fails

by Ganesh Sahathevan 


Dr. Mohd Irwan Serigar bin Abdullah, P.S.M., S.S.A.P., D.C.S.M., D.P.S.K., 
D.I.M.P., S.A.P. serves as a Secretary General to the Treasury at Ministry of Finance


It has been previously explained on this blog that  1 MDB's 3-tiered governance means PM Najib as paramount chairman is responsible for all wrongdoing,as are the rest of the board of advisors.


It has since been reported that Treasury secretary-general Irwan Serigar Mohamad told the Public Accounts Committee that  1MDB’s board of advisers had never held a meeting, and " had never sought... advice.
This "I see nothing, I know nothing, I did not wake up this morning " defence, made famous by Seargent Shultz in Hogan's Heroes,cannot work here given that the board of advisors sits right on top of the corporate governance structure, from where it is meant to ask questions and be informed.That its subordinates "had never sought ...advice" is not something any board of directors can get away with.
