As reported by Free Malaysia Today:

The owner of a piece of land off Jalan Masjid India where a Hindu temple is located has agreed to pay for the cost of its relocation.

Jakel Trading Sdn Bhd head of legal and corporate communications Aiman Dazuki said discussions with the temple committee had been ongoing for more than 10 years.

Aiman said the relationship between Jakel Trading and the temple committee since the firm acquired the land around 2012 had been smooth.

As reported by Sarawak Report: 

Extended data from task force investigations into payments from Prime Minister Najib Razak’s 1MDB-funded AmBank accounts has now been received by Sarawak Report.

It shows that a number of companies and individuals received very large sums indeed, usually through a series of payments from the Prime Minister.

Given it has been confirmed by the US Dept of Justice and local task force investigations that this money originated from thefts from 1MDB, it is time these entities explained the reason why they were paid. 

Jakel Trading, on the other hand, is a luxury furnishing shop that indicates more personal spending.  Sarawak Report has obtained further figures which show that Najib paid the store a whopping RM44 million.  Likewise, the Prime Minister paid a total of RM17 million to the Yayasan Rahah Foundation, which was established by his mother. Once again, this money  came from the accounts funded by money taken from 1MDB.

Jakel does not appear to have explained itself.There is a coincidence of name and timing, between the approximate time of the 1MDB theft and purchase of the land that is hard to ignore.
