PETALING JAYA: 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) was unable to disclose any details on news that a consortium of banks led by Deutsche Bank has asked for a US$975mil (RM3.5bil) loan to be repaid less than four months ahead of its due date.
“We are aware of recent press reports and statements concerning a loan taken by 1MDB in September 2014. While we would like to respond in detail, this relates to a confidential banking matter, which prevents us from commenting at the present time,” said its president and group executive director Arul Kanda Kandasamy in an email reply.
