Guan Eng: No plans to review use of anti-money laundering law in Umno frozen accounts case


KUALA LUMPUR: There are no plans to review the use of the Anti-Money Laundering, Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (Amla) against Umno, says Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Although the authorities could either review or withdraw the use of the law to freeze Umno's bank accounts, Lim said it would not be done owing to ongoing investigations into the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.
