The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will call former 1MDB chairperson Mohd Bakke Salleh to testify over the management of the debt-ridden state fund.

PAC chief Hasan Arifin said the committee will also recall former 1MDB chief executive officer Shahrul Azral Ibrahim Hamli to the hearing to give more information.

However, he said, the dates have not been set for the duo to testify.

“We will call Bakke, and also call back Shahrul to the proceeding to get more information. We will discuss the date with the Parliament secretary,” he told reporters at the Parliament building today.

“We prefer to finish up before March, (and) we will try. I hope that these two can give us the overview so we don’t have to call others to testify,” Hasan said.
