Singapore to return over RM150mil linked to 1MDB scandal


"I feel horrible about the fact that people who worked at Goldman Sachs, and it doesn't matter if it's a partner or it's an entry level employee, would go around our policies and break the law," Solomon said.

SINGAPORE (AFP): Singapore is returning around S$50.3mil (RM152mil) to Malaysia seized in connection with a massive financial scandal involving 1MDB, police said.

The city-state is one of several countries that launched probes into allegations that billions of dollars were misappropriated from Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB in an elaborate ruse that stretched from Asia to the United States.
