| Bayern boss says rejected ‘very high’ Mueller offer Posted: 04 Sep 2015 09:09 AM PDT
The 25-year-old Mueller, who worked with Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal during his time in charge of Bundesliga champions Bayern, was heavily linked with a move to the Red Devils throughout the summer. United's last offer for the 2014 World Cup Golden Boot winner was thought to be in excess of £70 million (approx. RM456 million), according to British media reports. "I'm talking about figures which were very high indeed. If I were a bank manager then I would have had to accept it," Rummenigge was quoted as saying by the Manchester Evening News. "But as a football club we allowed ourselves to close the door on it, and this door is remaining closed. I can promise that to everybody. "But one thing is for certain, in view of the increased television money in England things are not going to get any easier for Bayern in future," he added. Mueller has started the campaign in outstanding form, scoring five goals from the opening three league matches. — Reuters  |
| Men claiming discovery of Nazi ‘gold train’ go public Posted: 04 Sep 2015 08:52 AM PDT
The men, who identified themselves as Piotr Koper, a Pole, and German national Andreas Richter, told Poland's TVP public broadcaster they would only communicate via their lawyers from now on. Authorities in Poland's southwestern province of Lower Silesia where the armoured train is allegedly buried cast doubt on its existence earlier this week insisting there was no credible evidence for it. The Polish military has since deployed technicians to check the area in question. "We have irrefutable evidence it exists," Koper told TVP today, adding that "we aren't responsible for the media circus surrounding the train." He insisted that evidence the pair had presented confidentially to local authorities on August 18 had later been leaked to the media. The men, who under Polish law are entitled to a 10 per cent finder's fee, say they have enough funding to independently excavate the train and its presumed treasures. They vowed to use part of the finder's fee earned from the discovery to set up a museum at the site. Lower Silesia Governor Tomasz Smolarz said Monday it was "impossible to claim that such a find actually exists at the location indicated based on the documents that have been submitted." This came just days after senior culture ministry official Piotr Zuchowski said he was "more than 99 per cent sure" an armoured train had been found based on ground-penetrating radar images. Zuchowski also claimed that someone who had been involved in hiding the train, presumed to be over 100 metres in length, had disclosed its location before dying. Police have blocked off the presumed location of the train along a stretch of active railway tracks in a bid to prevent accidents as a curious public swamps the area near the city of Walbrzych. Global media have become fascinated by the prospect of a railway car full of jewels and gold stolen by the Nazis. The World Jewish Congress has asked that any valuables found that once belonged to victims of the Holocaust should be returned to their owners or heirs. Rumours of two special Nazi trains disappearing in the spring of 1945, towards the end of World War II, have been circulating for years, capturing the imagination of countless treasure hunters. The lore is fuelled by a massive network of secret underground tunnels near Walbrzych — including around the massive Ksiaz Castle — that Nazi Germany built and where legend has it the Third Reich stashed looted valuables. — AFP |

| 1MDB did not receive RM42b from government, says book Posted: 04 Sep 2015 08:40 AM PDT
According to the "1MDB: Siapa Kata Tidak Dijawab" book, on the contrary, the RM42 billion fund's debts were in the form of bank loans, bonds and sukuk. 1MDB had only received RM1 million in equity in 2009 and a short-term loan of RM950 million in March 2015 in the form of available credit. "1MDB is not funded by local and international capital and invested by using its own capital," according to the book published by the Special Affairs Department (JASA) of the Communications and Multimedia Ministry. The book also explains that of the RM42 billion fund's debts RM18 billion was used to purchase an independent power producer company, RM15.4 billion for investment funds, RM5.8 billion for financial costs, RM1.7 billion for the land purchasing cost and RM900 million in cash. The 62-page book comprises a collection of answers about 1MDB that had been given by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah, 1MDB President and Group Executive Director Arul Kanda Kandasamy. It provides answers to 32 questions about 1MDB which were presented in simple and straightforward explanations as well as infographic. The book among others, answered questions about whether the joint-venture inivestment with Petrosaudi is a scam? is it true 1MDB really had to borrow RM2 billion from Ananda Krishnan to pay the interest? why did the government sell the 70-acre land to 1MDB at such a low price? Is it true the 1MDB funds went into Najib's personal accounts? 1MDB's rationalisation plan? is it true that the police had interfered with, the MACC's (the Malaysian-Anti Corruption Comission) investigation on 1MDB? — Bernama |
