Dr Mahathir wants answers for 1MDB’s 'missing RM27bil'


PETALING JAYA: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) claims that only about RM14.7bil can be accounted for from the RM42bil loan taken by 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and asked what has happened to the RM27.3bil that is unaccounted for.

In his latest blog post on Thursday, Dr Mahathir said the “disappearance” of a huge amount of borrowed money by 1MDB and the inability to answer questions on it led him to pressuring Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to resign from his position.
