KUALA LUMPUR: The Chinese Embassy here described a report accusing its government of trying to influence the investigation into the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal as being “groundless”.

Pooh-poohing the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report, the embassy said China had adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of another country all along.
