KUALA LUMPUR: The law firm representing 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) has discharged itself from acting for the company in a suit filed by former Umno leader Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan. He filed the suit to seek the return of jewellery worth US$27.3mil (RM115mil) to 1MDB. 1MDB's lawyer Datuk Tan Hock Chuan told reporters this issue after meeting High Court judge Justice Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim in chambers Thursday. “At the moment there is no lawyer for 1MDB but we will inform the company about the issue,” he said. In the statement of claim filed on Aug 16 last year, Khairuddin had named Rosmah, Low and 1MDB as the first, second and third defendants respectively.
