Press secretary Datuk Seri Tengku Sarifuddin Tengku Ahmad was (pic) referring to DoJ's move to seize another US$540mil (RM2.3bil) in assets allegedly "stolen" from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). In a statement, Tengku Sarifuddin expressed concern by the "unnecessary and gratuitous" naming of certain matters and individuals that are only relevant to "domestic political manipulation and interference". "This suggests a motivation that goes beyond the objective of seizing assets," he said. Tengku Sarifuddin said there have been numerous and extensive investigations by Malaysian authorities into 1MDB that concluded no crime was found. If there is evidence of wrongdoing, Malaysia will not hesitate to take action," he said.
