Dr Mahathir: It is a near miracle the country was not bankrupted by 1MDB
- 5 years ago
It was a near miracle that Malaysia was not bankrupted due to the damage done by the previous kleptocratic regime as they turned the nation’s coffers into their personal kitty, Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today.
The prime minister said the damage was not just financial, but institutional as well.
“One of the biggest challenges after successfully toppling the kleptocratic regime was mopping up the mess left behind and rebuilding the nation,” he said in his keynote address at the ISIS Malaysia Praxis Conference “Malaysia Beyond 2020”, in Kuala Lumpur.
