KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has urged all parties not to jump to conclusions over the ongoing action by the US Justice Department to seize over US$1bil (RM4.02bil) in assets allegedly linked to 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
The Prime Minister said the Government will extend its full cooperation to all international investigative bodies relating to the matter.
"We take the matter seriously on the statement by the United States' Justice Department which was issued late last night.
"I want to say categorically that we are serious about good governance so anything that is against the law, we want the process to take its course," he told reporters at Wisma Felda here Thursday.
Najib said it is important to establish that it is a civil action and not a criminal action.
"And those people who are involved will have their right to say through the court process in the United States," he said.
