I want to say that what was done by the DOJ recently does not involve me, or the Malaysian government, or 1MDB directly. The suit named five people. This is not a criminal suit, but a civil suit.

It pains me every day to know that the 1MDB debacle happened under my watch as minister of finance and prime minister. For that, I would like to apologise unreservedly to the Malaysian people.

Firstly, the 2.6 billion ringgit is neither public funds nor 1MDB's money. This was confirmed by the MACC. It's a donation, a gift. A donation is not illegal under any legal provision.

Soak it (the keris) with Malaysian Chinese blood.

I am totally innocent of the Altantuya case, absolutely. Until today, there is not a shred of evidence to indicate I was involved because I have no knowledge. Never met her, never seen her and never knew of her existence.
