    MALAYSIAN Prime Minister Najib Razak on Tuesday urged investors to move past the 1MDB issues that have weighed on South-east Asia's third-largest economy, saying the country is now "stronger than ever".

    The call comes a day after the International Monetary Fund upgraded its 2017 growth forecast for Malaysia to 4.8 per cent from 4.5 per cent, following better-than-expected first-quarter annual growth of 5.6 per cent, the quickest in two years.
