Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng says Malaysia will find it challenging to meet its 3% fiscal deficit target for next year due to uncertainties around the US-China trade war.

PETALING JAYA: Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng believes it is "reasonable" to ask Goldman Sachs for US$7.5bil (RM30.7bil) over its role in the 1MDB scandal, saying it was an act of an institution instead of just a few rogue individuals.

Lim said they were seeking that amount because they did not know what happened to the US$6.5bil (RM26.6bil) that was raised through one issuance.
