KUALA LUMPUR: Following is the statement from 1MDB President and Group Executive Director Arul Kanda Kandasamy on Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) probe yesterday, which revealed the RM2.6 billion deposited into the account of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was from donors, and not 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) funds.
1MDB cleared
“1MDB welcomes the clear statement from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, which confirms that no funds from 1MDB were transferred to the Prime Minister.
We have always maintained that the company has never provided any funds to the Prime Minister as per our media statement on 3 July 2015, confident that the truth will prevail.
To continue to suggest otherwise, as PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli did in his blog yesterday, is highly irresponsible and a deliberate attempt to undermine the company.
This is despite 1MDB publishing on 3 June 2015 a summary of what the RM42 billion debt has been used for, information that is fully disclosed in 1MDB's audited and publicly available accounts from 31 March 2010 to 31 March 2014.
We reproduce here the two infographics of the summary.”
