Troubled 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) today said that it had never given any funds to Datuk Seri Najib Razak, following reports by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and Sarawak Report that billions were channelled to the prime minister's personal accounts.
In a statement, the state investment vehicle said that it was "highly irresponsible" of media outlets to suggest this, calling it a deliberate attempt to undermine the company which is already under criticism over its RM42 billion in debts.
"1MDB wishes to make clear that the company has never provided any funds to the prime minister. To suggest otherwise, as some media outlets have done, is highly irresponsible and a deliberate attempt to undermine the company," the company said.
WSJ and Sarawak Report said today that investigations into the debt-ridden fund allegedly uncovered billions of ringgit pumped into Najib's personal accounts.
