It seems that the circuit of the loans granted to the Carrion Group, which the defendant is totally
umelatōd to, was set up because of the intervention of Mr Tunku Razaleigh, former Minister of
Finance of the Republic of Malaysia, vice-president of the Malaysian National Party and who,
previously, had been the president of the Malaysian State Bank, Bank Dumivutra Malaysia Berhad
("BEMB").
Mr Tunku Razaleigh was Minister of Finance for all the period when the Carrian Group was
illegally financed; he was assuming at the time the duties of treasurer of the Malaysian National
Party. One must underline that the DBMB is a state bank, it is, therefore, under the exclusive
dependency of the Minister of Finance.
Amongst the characters of the case are, in particular, a Mr Lorrain Osman, one of the directors
of BMFL, and one of its founders, when Mr Tunku Razaleigh was the president thereof; he was
the figurehead of Mr Razaleigh in a number of deals; Mr Shamsuddin, a fellow student of Mr
Raza.oigh is the deputy treasurer of his party.
Mr Juffar was director geldial of BMFL from 1967; it is him who actually granted the loans; he
obtained spemingly various advantages for the Malaysian National Party and on account of Mr
Tunku Razaleigh.
