1MDB affects all M’sians — DPM

SANDAKAN: Awareness on the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal is important because it has affected the people in the country, including those in Sandakan, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail yesterday.

She said the scandal had affected allocations in the national budget which could have been used to further develop Sabah.

“There is a connection (awareness on 1MDB scandal to people in Sabah). People may not know it... but because of it, we lost a lot of money,” she told reporters when campaigning for the DAP candidate in the Sandakan parliamentary byelection here.
