Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad is delighted that the Indonesian government has handed over the superyacht Equanimity, which has been linked to the 1MDB scandal and fugitive businessman Jho Low.

In a video uploaded on the Chedet official Youtube channel this evening, Mahathir also thanked Indonesian President Joko Widodo for the republic's cooperation and assistance in solving "one of the problems" that Malaysia is facing.

"We believe this yacht belongs to the Malaysian government as it has been bought using Malaysian money which was stolen by certain quarters," he said.

Mahathir said if there's any party who wished to claim ownership of the yacht, they can come forward and furnish proof.
