Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak pointed out that 1MDB, which has been under the spotlight for the wrong reasons, has made immense contribution to social welfare programmes.
He said 1MDB spent hundreds of millions of ringgit through its charity arm 1MDB Foundation on causes such as flood relief, repairing damaged houses, and assisting fishermen.
1MDB Foundation also sponsored RM10.4 million for 1,100 pilgrims to go to for pilgrimage this year; recipients of which were present with Najib in a Putrajaya mosque today to receive their offer letters.
“1MDB is often being condemned today, but many forget that 1MDB has many social welfare programmes.
“Today’s programme is just one of them,” the prime minister told the would-be pilgrims present.
