NSTworld: Future Forward Party said it would have opened an investigation on corruption and money laundering related to the 1MDB case if it were in power.
The Future Forward Party, the third-largest party in parliament, was dissolved on Friday by Thailand’s Constitutional Court over a loan it took from its billionaire founder.
Future Forward’s spokeswoman, Pannika Wanich, told reporters at a news conference on Sunday that the junta had worked with Malaysia’s former government to arrest a whistleblower in the 1MDB case in 2015 and had allowed financial criminals to operate in Thailand, risking the country’s international ties.
The government also harboured Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho, known as Jho Low, allowing him to enter the country at least five times between Oct 2016 and May 2018, despite Low having an Interpol red notice from Singapore, she said.
