Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said on Tuesday US prosecutors had promised to help return money that Goldman Sachs charged for its dealings with troubled Malaysian state fund 1MDB.

PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): Government affirmative action to help the Malays in this country will not achieve the objectives if the Malays themselves do not want to change their character and value system in order to succeed, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. 

The Prime Minister said the government had introduced many policies and provided support to the Malays through the affirmative action that gave opportunities and support to them but they are the same Malays who have failed.
