KUALA LUMPUR (March 3): Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz has confirmed that the Malaysian government has agreed to a settlement of US$80 million (RM324 million) with Deloitte PLT in relation to the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal.
He said the settlement served to resolve all claims related to their fiduciary duty on auditing the accounts of 1MDB and SRC International Sdn Bhd for the 2011-2014 period.
“This marks another success in the Malaysian government’s continuing recovery efforts against parties involved in 1MDB, SRC and its related entities. The Malaysian government is determined to ensure that appropriate actions are taken against all individuals or entities involved, directly or indirectly, in the global 1MDB scheme,” he said in a statement.
Malaysian and U.S authorities have said around $4.5 billion was stolen from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), in a globe-spanning scandal that has implicated the country's former prime minister, U.S. investment firm Goldman Sachs, and others. Tawfiq Ayman, the husband of former Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz, is facing a money laundering investigation over the alleged transfer of 1MDB-linked funds into a bank account he owns in Singapore, Malaysian police said on Wednesday.

KUALA LUMPUR (March 2): The decision to allow movement across states would depend on whether the daily Covid-19 cases fall to two digits, subject to the risk assessment carried out by the Health Ministry (MoH), said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. He said MoH would then table the proposal to the Technical Committee and National Security Council (MKN) Special Meeting chaired by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin before a decision is made.
