“Did we never bother to actually track and find the yacht?” she wrote.

Are there more ‘horror scandals’ to uncover behind the yacht says Rafidah.

She also asked whether there was a hidden agenda in not looking for the 300-footer vessel.

Communications and Multimedia Minister Salleh Said Keruak said there was no proof that 1MDB funds were used to buy the vessel.
