Malaysia’s Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Dato’ Seri Anwar, revealed that as of July 31, 2025, the government has injected a total of RM42.17 billion into 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) to settle debts and fulfill the company’s financial obligations.
Of this sum, RM15.44 billion came from the Ministry of Finance and the Minister’s Department, provided as shareholder advances or loans, while RM26.73 billion was sourced from funds recovered through 1MDB asset restitution efforts.
Anwar explained that RM28.93 billion of this total was used to pay down 1MDB’s principal debt, while RM13.24 billion went toward interest payments and fulfilling other company commitments.
As of now, 1MDB still has outstanding debts under Islamic Medium-Term Notes (Sukuk IMTN) maturing until 2039, totaling RM9.02 billion—comprising RM5 billion in principal and RM4.02 billion in interest.
Since the establishment of the asset recovery trust account in December 2018, the government has successfully reclaimed RM29.7 billion in funds linked to 1MDB and SRC International. Between 2022 and June 30, 2025, RM10.9 billion of this amount was recovered.
Anwar disclosed this in a written parliamentary reply to questions from Dato’ Seri Wong Azizah, MP for P.109 Kuala Selangor, who inquired about the total public funds recovered since 2022, including high-profile cases such as 1MDB and other asset restitution efforts.
Additionally, the government has allocated RM5.35 billion to settle SRC International’s debt, interest, and related obligations.
“Under the current administration, we remain committed to pursuing all misappropriated funds related to 1MDB and SRC, with the primary objective of maximizing recovery to settle debts and fulfill company obligations within the stipulated timeframe,” Anwar affirmed.
