It's got all the elements of a blockbuster Hollywood thriller. A huge amount of missing money. A prime minister and his wife. An intrepid team of politicians and reporters out to find the truth. And a young, playboy businessman with a fondness for cavorting with celebrities on yachts. For the past few years, the 1MDB (1Malaysia Development Berhad) financial scandal has captured the imagination of Malaysians. The scandal contributed to the fall of a government and changed local history forever, and will continue to have major repercussions as time goes on.
The full story of 1MDB, from its beginnings to its cover-up, is painstakingly detailed in 1MDB: The Scandal That Brought Down A Government, a book written by veteran journalist and analyst P. Gunasegaram.
