The daily\u00a0confirmed that police were present at the office, and was told that journalists are not allowed into the 1MDB office on the 8th floor of the building.<\/p>\n

“Even the despatch people are not allowed in as they don’t want to be disturbed,” a receptionist was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n

The raid on 1MDB follows those at three 1MDB linked companies– SRC International Sdn Bhd, Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd, and Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd — recently.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak was on Friday implicated by international newspaper The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) as having received as much as US$700 million\u00a0from 1MDB. The paper also alleged that these funds were transferred into Najib’s personal accounts shortly before the 13th General Elections in May 2013.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Malaysiakini quoted<\/a> a senior police officer who confirmed the raids, but refused to provide any further details.<\/p>\n
