MALAYSIA'S anti-graft agency on Wednesday said an external review panel had asked it to continue investigations into a donation of US$681 million received by Prime Minister Najib Razak, despite an order by the country's top lawyer to close the case.
Last month, Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali closed all investigations of Mr Najib, after reviewing investigation reports from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) into debt-laden state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and the transfer of US$681 million into Mr Najib's personal bank account.
