Malaysia anti-graft agency meets PMO over 1MDB

Kuala Lumpur

MALAYSIA'S anti-graft agency said on Thursday that it met officials at Prime Minister Najib Razak's office over investigations into RM2.6 billion (S$868.3 million) in funds that were transferred into his bank accounts.

Mr Najib is facing calls to step down over a graft scandal surrounding state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) that erupted in July when The Wall Street Journal reported that investigators had found that funds had been transferred into his bank accounts.
