Interim report on debt-ridden 1MDB finances

Malaysia's Auditor-General is on Thursday expected to table its interim report on debt-ridden 1Malaysia Development Berhad's (1MDB) finances to the parliament's bipartisan Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in a closed-door meeting. The PAC will take questions from the department on its audit of the Ministry of Finance-owned state investment company, but the department has not said if the highly-anticipated findings will be made public. The A-G's final report will be tabled in Parliament. 1MDB, a property-to-energy group whose advisory board is chaired by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, has debts of around US$11 billion (S$15 billion). A Wall Street Journal report last week claimed that investigators looking into 1MDB had allegedly traced nearly US$700 million in funds that moved through government agencies, banks and companies before ending up in Mr Najib's personal accounts. Mr Najib has denied taking any money and said the corruption allegations are part of a malicious campaign to force him out of office.
