Impact investing need not mean sacrificing returns, panellists at the Malaysia Private Capital Forum 2026 say, as investors increasingly look beyond ESG labels to measurable outcomes while Malaysia’s alternative financing platforms grapple with exits, governance and repeat capital.
Malaysia private capital is entering a new phase as shifting global conditions create opportunities to move up the value chain, strengthen the country’s regional position and turn emerging economic challenges into new areas for investment, Deputy Finance Minister Liew Chin Tong said.
In a statement read by his eldest son, Datuk Nizar Najib, former Prime Minister Najib Razak asserts that he was deceived by others involved in the 1MDB scandal and was unaware of the illicit activities tied to the controversial fund.

Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's defense team has called for his acquittal in the RM2.3 billion 1MDB scandal, claiming key witness testimonies are inconsistent and cannot be trusted, as the high-profile trial continues in the High Court.

From the number of statements made by Jasmine Loo during the course of her taking the witness stand, it is obvious that the top level management and certain parties involved with 1MDB would keep former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the dark about some of the dealings and used his name as purportedly giving approval to some of the project developments.
