KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said his government will restart negotiations with Goldman Sachs to recover the billions of dollars lost in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad financial scandal, failing which it might resort to suing the US investment bank.
“And I'm not discounting the possibility of proceeding again, the issue of lawsuits. No, I'm not ruling that out. Because it's beyond me. As I've always said, you assaulted me, I can forgive you. You put me in jail, I forgive you. But you steal from the people, I will have to get it back,” he said in an interview with US broadcasterAnwar said his government would start up negotiations first as legal fees in the United States would be costly.
Anwar commended the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, the Attorney General's Chambers and the various ministries for their success in getting back between 65 and 68 per cent of the absconded funds.
