Umno will start a nationwide information blitz on the 1990s foreign exchange scandal next month, following a cabinet decision to form a special committee to investigate the total losses suffered by Bank Negara Malaysia.
Umno information chief Annuar Musa said the information sessions are important because there have been attempts to equate the scandal with 1MDB.
"Why was a committee formed on this and not 1MDB? This is something that will be explained (in the nationwide information blitz)," he said.
