KINI ROUNDUP | Here are the key headlines you may have missed yesterday, in brief.

Bung cries fake news on yacht

Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin said during a Dewan Rakyat debate that the claim that luxury yacht Equanimity belongs to a Malaysian was " fake news."

The controversial MP also recalled how DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang had called for Pakatan Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad to be probed, when the latter was the premier but now they were "kissing on the mouth".

Former minister Rais Yatim told Umno minister Salleh Said Keruak to cut the sarcasm in defending Penang-born businessperson Low Taek Jho (Jho Low) in the Equanimity issue and pointed out that Low was being "hunted" by eight countries.

Indonesian police denied claims in social media that about RM1 billion was found in the luxury superyacht allegedly bought using 1MDB funds.

Red Granite Pictures - the film production company linked to the 1MDB scandal - said it has reached a settlement to pay the US government US$60 million (RM234 million) while the salary of its CEO Riza Aziz, who is the stepson of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, will also be slashed.
