US should 'think twice' before returning 1MDB funds to Malaysia, says Dr M


KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): The United States should "think twice" before giving Malaysia back the money recovered from an anti-kleptocracy probe into state fund 1MDB, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) said on Friday (March 13), as the party accused of graft at 1MDB was back in power.

Dr Mahathir, 94, abruptly resigned last month before being replaced by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, whose coalition includes the former ruling party Umno despite voters rejecting Umno in the 2018 general election amid a backlash over the multi-billion dollar scandal at 1MDB.
