Dr Mahathir: Najib did not tell truth about 1MDB cash in Singapore


PETALING JAYA: Former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has accused Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak of not telling the complete truth when he told Parliament that money held by government investment arm 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) is being kept in Singapore.

“No money was banked into BSI Bank in Singapore. It is clear from the amendment to his first answer that it was not US$1.103bil (RM3.6bil) in cash that was being kept with BSI but in the form of documents. It is unclear what is in the documents, but it is clear it is not cash,” said Dr Mahathir in a blogpost on Sunday.
