Malaysia’s 1MDB Scandal and ‘The Siege Within’

Quick Summary:

A new book by Leslie Lopez details the unfolding of one of the world's largest financial scandals.

Lopez, a multi-award-winning journalist, says it’s a story that still requires closure and that too many people in power would prefer to see the biggest financial scandal in Malaysian history to simply go away.

A fully independent commission of inquiry with legal backing would help and “The Siege Within” would be a must read for prosecutors, based on an archive built by Lopez ever since 1MDB was launched as an investment fund by Najib in 2009.
