Taiwan again: Nazifuddin Najib's date with Celia Chang adds to evidence of stolen 1MDB money in Taiwan: Taiwan Govt assistance identifying & freezing accounts vital

by Ganesh Saahthevan


Former PM Najib Razak's son was in Taiwan ,on what looks like an expensive date, just after declaring his extended family and he to be near penniless as a result of having their accounts frozen:

This was not a cheap date, and given its timing, suggests that Nazifuddin may have been in Taiwan tending to business and for a bit of rest and recreation.Apple Daily reported:

One of his sons, Mohd Nazifuddin Najib, also known as Nazif Najib, was seen dining at a steakhouse and having a massage in Taipei’s top luxury shopping district near Taipei 101 Thursday, according to the Apple Daily.
The newspaper identified the woman in Nazif’s company as a Taiwanese actress in a current Sanlih E-Television soap opera, Celia Chang (張東晴), 34.
They spent more than three hours at the steak restaurant inside the Breeze Xinyi shopping mall eating and drinking one glass of red wine after the other, while Chang seemed to be explaining the Taipei scenery outside the window, the Apple Daily reported.
The newspaper wrote that they took a taxi to a massage parlor, had a candlelight dinner, spent two hours at a pub and took another cab to the Grand Hyatt Taipei at 1 a.m.
It is clear that Ms Chang is more acquaintance than girlfriend. It does not seem as if Nazifuddin was in Taipei seeking solace, but rather on an urgent business trip.
The above adds to earlier reports on this clog about money in Taiwan funding interests associated with Najib Razak.

Evidence is emerging that someone in Taipei, Taiwan, has been informed of this writer's queries concerning the matter of Sirul.The emergence of this evidence coincides with Sarawak Report's revelation that Low Taek Jho, aka Jho Low, has sought 
refuge in Taiwan.   Given that Jho Low has been "tied to the 1 MDB inquiry"  a link between 1 MDB and and the matter of Sirul Azhar Umar may soon become apparent. 


While in detention Sirul's ability to receive any significant amount of cash  is non-existent.It is highly unlikely that he even has a bank account in Australia.The same can be said for his teenage son who remains in Australia. Even if released any receipt of funds on their part will be very closely scrutinized. 
Consequently all this money or promise of money swirling around Sirul is indicative only of a presumed right to keep him silent.For so long as he remains in detention others can lay claim to that right,and trade it with anyone who is willing to pay. It appears that Jho Low created the market but it is unclear if he still has the finances to keep that market liquid. With accounts being frozen in Singapore and Malaysia it is likely that the market has dried up.Nevertheless, some may be living in hope.


While Sirul Azhar Umar   remains unrepresented those who have laid claim over him, or who have been reported to be his legal advisors   have refused to say who pays or has promised to pay for their services.
Nevertheless whatever is or was   on offer to guide  Sirul  through his troubles must be significant, for how else does one explain this fiercely possessive  reaction from  Christopher Levingston, an immigration lawyer who was asked to clarify his position vis a vis Sirul:

You have no standing nor do you have any legitimate interest in this matter.
 Your attempts to interpose yourself and your strategy of “divide and rule” is not only unprofessional but also unethical.
