Superyacht linked to 1MDB for sale, again

KUALA LUMPUR: A superyacht linked to a multi-billion dollar corruption scandal at 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) is up for sale, according to a listing by the yacht broker.

The superyacht Tranquility, earlier known as the Equanimity, is currently owned by resorts operator Genting Malaysia Bhd which bought it from the Malaysian government in April for US$126 million (RM575.5 million).

The superyacht is among assets allegedly bought by fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, and his associates with money taken from 1MDB, US and Malaysian investigators have said.

The 300-foot yacht has an interior clad in marble, a beach club, a Turkish bath, a 20 square metre swimming pool and a helipad, according to a listing by broker Camper & Nicholsons.

The listing did not disclose the asking price for the yacht.

Camper & Nicholsons and Genting did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The yacht is also available for charter at US$1.43 million a week, according to the listing.

It is unclear how long the yacht has been up for sale. Media reports on Saturday said Genting was asking US$200 million for the yacht.

1MDB, a now-defunct fund, is being investigated by at least six countries for money laundering and corruption.

The US Department of Justice has said about US$4.5 billion siphoned from 1MDB was used by Low and his associates to buy the yacht, a private jet, as well as Picasso paintings, jewellery, and real estate.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, after his stunning victory in last year’s election, has vowed to recover the money allegedly stolen from 1MDB.

Malaysian police have issued an arrest warrant and filed criminal charges against Low, but his whereabouts are unknown. Low has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. - Reuters

Harga penuh sudah dibayar

PUTRAJAYA: Genting Malaysia Bhd menjadi pemilik baharu kapal layar mewah, Equanimity selepas keuntungan jualan lebih RM500 juta dikreditkan ke dalam akaun 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) yang dibuka khas untuk tujuan itu, kata Peguam Negara, Tan Sri Tommy Thomas.

Beliau berkata, harga penuh bagi pembelian itu sudah dibayar dalam tempoh ditetapkan.

“Seluruh episod bermula ketika kapal mewah itu belayar masuk ke perairan Malaysia pada Ogos 2018 dan ditahan susulan perintah dikeluarkan Mahkamah Admiralti sehingga penjualannya menerusi perjanjian persendirian, dilaksanakan mengikut standard tertinggi undang-undang maritim, setara dengan setiap sistem undang-undang berwibawa,” katanya berucap merasmikan Tahun Undang-Undang 2020, di sini, semalam.

Thomas berkata, semuanya dilakukan secara terbuka, telus dan berakauntabiliti.

“Setiap orang yang terbabit dalam pentadbiran keadilan patut berbangga dengan pelaksanaan undang-undang dalam memperoleh aset negara itu untuk manfaat awam,” katanya.

Kapal layar itu dipercayai dibeli ahli perniagaan dalam buruan, Low Taek Jho atau lebih dikenali Jho Low, pada harga AS$250 juta yang didakwa menggunakan wang dikaitkan dengan 1MDB.

Pada April 2019, dilaporkan Genting Malaysia Bhd atau syarikat tujuan khasnya (SPV) membeli Equanimity pada harga AS$126 juta.

Thomas berkata, kelulusan Sheriff bagi penjualan menerusi perjanjian persendirian bagi Equanimity pada harga lebih RM6.4 juta itu dibayar pada Disember 2019, menjadi satu rekod dalam sejarah perundangan Malaysia. - BERNAMA
