Be fair in prosecuting 1MDB suspects, new AG urged


Malaysia is scrambling to bring home billions of dollars allegedly siphoned off from 1MDB, a state fund founded by ex-premier Najib Razak, who lost a general election last month. His successor, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, said Malaysia is also seeking to arrest financier Low Taek Jho, a central figure in the scandal who advised on investments and negotiated deals for 1MDB.

KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Abu Talib Othman, who heads the special committee on 1Malaysia Deve­lopment Bhd (1MDB), says Attorney General Tommy Thomas must be fair in prosecuting those allegedly involved in the scandal.

“I wish him all the best and hope that he ensures justice for all, including the people alleged to have not observed the law,” he told reporters after meeting Securities Commission officials at Ilham Tower yesterday.
