Catatan Sejarah - Lorrain Esme Osman


Di mata dunia, bekas pengerusi Bumiputera Malaysia Finance Lorrain Esme Osman, yang meninggal dunia dalam buangan di London pada hari Isnin (8 Ogos 2011) adalah pegawai bank yang tidak diketahui sehingga salah seorang juruauditnya, Jalil Ibrahim, dibunuh pada bulan Julai 1983 di dusun pisang di Hong Kong.

Lorrain, 79 dan berbangsa Serani dari Pulau Pinang dan bekas penganut Kristian, akhirnya mengambil mengaku bersalah di London pada tahun 1993 di bawah rayuan untuk kecuaian kewangan kerana memberi pinjaman tanpa cagaran untuk sebanyak RM 2.5 bilion pada 1980-an kepada George Tan, seorang penduduk Sarawak yang mengetuai Kumpulan Syarikat Carrian sehingga ia runtuh seperti rumah kad.

Sehingga sekarang RM 2.5billion adalah satu jumlah yang besar untuk dicuri dan diambil keluar dari negara ini tanpa penglibatan mana-mana pemimpin tertinggi kerajaan. Sistem kewangan Malaysia membuat ini hampir mustahil, dan lebih cenderungnya, tawaran seperti ini dilakukan bagi pihak politikos teratas.

  1. Good for him, to die of cancer :). Ini adalah org yg lapar, so he consumed bribes from Carrian Group. Darat punya org, just several million HK was enough. So hungry he was.
