Reuters reported on 5 December 2017:

The U.S. attorney-general described a multi-billion dollar corruption scandal involving a Malaysian state fund as the worst form of kleptocracy, and said the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) was working to provide justice to the victims.
“This is kleptocracy at its worst,” Sessions said at a global forum on asset recovery in Washington according to a transcript of his speech posted on the DoJ website, referring to the Malaysian case.


On 28 January 2018 NST and others quoting Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh reported: 



“We are very proud to recognise the fact that (Najib)  was the one who championed this in the first place as a good neighbour and doing the right thing as a human being. Our PM has shown great leadership together with the Bangladeshi government with our partners in Saudi (Arabia) and UAE (United Arab Emirates),” she said during her visit to the Rohingya refugees’ area here Saturday.

Yeoh was part of the Malaysian special delegation to Cox’s Bazar led by Armed Forces chief General Tan Sri Raja Mohamed Affandi Raja Mohammed Noor. The delegation visited the Malaysian Field Hospital that started its operation on Nov 31 and also the Balukhali refugee camp, located about 10 minutes from the field hospital        


Michelle Yeoh's Oscar win should serve to refocus efforts to recover 1MDB money . It is hard to not recall Yeoh's defiant " I hope from the bottom of my heart that (Najib) will remain as the prime minister " in 2013.

Michelle Yeoh came out in support of Najib Razak in January 2018, well after the DOJ began seizing 1MDB related assets worldwide, and well after Najib and wife Rosmah Mansor began publicly , and falsely, denying having anything to do with the theft.   Her words:   

“We are very proud to recognise the fact that he was the one who championed this in the first place as a good neighbour and doing the right thing as a human being. Our PM has shown great leadership together with the Bangladeshi government with our partners in Saudi (Arabia) and UAE (United Arab Emirates),” she said during her visit to the Rohingya refugees’ area here Saturday.

Yeoh was part of the Malaysian special delegation to Cox’s Bazar led by Armed Forces chief General Tan Sri Raja Mohamed Affandi Raja Mohammed Noor. The delegation visited the Malaysian Field Hospital that started its operation on Nov 31 and also the Balukhali refugee camp, located about 10 minutes from the field hospital                                                      

Malaysians in particular and Yeoh's adoring fans worldwide have a right to information about the funding for her Najib promotion.
