Deputy Finance Minister Ahmad Maslan has been urged to explain the usage of an RM540 million loan given to 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) by ministry-owned Export-Import Bank of Malaysia (Exim Bank).

In making the call today, Tony Pua (DAP-Petaling Jaya Utara) noted that Ahmad's colleague, Deputy Finance Chua Tee Yong, did not deny in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday that the loan was used to purchase a plot of land in Pulau Indah.
