COMMENT | It reflects very poorly on the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) if investigations into the 1MDB scandal have not yielded any arrests after one year.

Although the scandal is headlined in newspapers around the world, and several individuals and banks have been implicated in the alleged money laundering, the Malaysian authorities have yet to show their fangs.

Inspector-general of police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar claimed that the police had set up an investigation team as early as April last year, but after 14 months, the outcome is found wanting. Why?

Surely, a thorough investigation by the public accounts committee (PAC) on 1MDB would have revealed who were behind the scandal.

Till today, the auditor-general's report is still under the Official Secrets Act and the authorities are unable to unravel the truth in the 1MDB scandal, despite the call by the Conference of Malay Rulers to expedite the investigation two years ago.

What does this tell us? Khalid blamed it on the attorney-general (AG) Mohamed Apandi Ali for not giving any response to the police regarding its investigation papers, while Apandi is brushing aside the Malaysian Bar's suggestion to re-open the case after new evidence was produced by the US Department of Justice (DOJ).

Members of the public are impatient with burning questions to know the outcome of any investigation, and why it is taking so long, with no arrests but a lot of fluff in the air....
