Malaysia has yet to repay the principal amount of 1MDB debts but the country is servicing the interest on those debts, Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz told the Dewan Rakyat today.
He said this in rebutting former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's remark yesterday that not a single sen of public funds was used by the government to repay the principal amount of 1MDB debts.
"The accusation that we have not repaid the principal amount is baseless since the principal amount is not yet mature," he said during the minister's question time session.
"As of the end of this month, the remaining commitment stands between RM38.5 billion and RM38.8 billion, with RM32.3 billion principal and RM6.5 billion interest," he told Lim Guan Eng (Pakatan Harapan-Bagan).
