    FITCH Ratings has said that a default by the debt-laden 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) is unlikely to destabilise Malaysia's banking sector, as its exposure is containable.

    Meanwhile, the state-owned agency has appeared to move with some urgency towards rationalising its property assets, following the signing of a deal with Lend Lease on Thursday to develop 6.88 ha in a new financial district in Kuala Lumpur called Tun Razak Exchange (TRX).
