Parliament's Public Account Committee (PAC) will not be receiving the auditor-general's final report on 1MDB as scheduled this Thursday.
Malaysiakini understands that the delay is based on a request from the auditor-general.
PAC is scheduled to have their meeting on Friday (Dec 18) the proceedings of which may shed some light on when the auditor-general's final report on 1MDB will now be handed over to the PAC.
PAC chairperson Hasan Ariffin declined to comment on the matter.
"We will issue a press statement later, maybe tomorrow or the day after," he told Malaysiakini when contacted today.
Previously, Hasan had said that the PAC would receive the report on Dec 17.
The PAC had received the auditor-general's preliminary report on 1MDB on July 9 but it will not be revealed to the public before it is tabled to Parliament.
The PAC hearings on 1MDB have gone through a rocky path.
The hearings was disrupted when then PAC chairperson Nur Jazlan Mohamed and three BN PAC members were appointed as minister and deputy ministers in the July cabinet reshuffle.
After some three months on ice, Hasan, the Rompin MP, was appointed as the new PAC chief and the vacant seats in the committee were also filled.
Following this, the PAC is now recommencing its probe into 1MDB which is struggling to repay its US$11 billion debt amid claims of misappropriation. -Mkini
