Dr M: Pakatan govt spent most of first year tackling 'bottomless pit' of 1MDB issues

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the Pakatan Harapan-led government spent a good part of its first year in power to plug the "almost bottomless pit" created by state investment fund 1Malaysia Development Bhd.

The Prime Minister said the Pakatan coalition was formed to save Malaysia from a kleptocratic government that allegedly siphoned and squandered tens of billions of ringgit from the people, and against all odds won the mandate from the people at the general election on May 9 last year.
