1MDB's Claim Totals US$6.59 Billion Plus Additional Sum

1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) is pursuing a total claim of US$6.59 billion against former chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy and former chairman Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah. This overarching claim is supplemented by an additional RM2.9 million specifically from Mohd Irwan concerning an Employment Extension Agreement.
Dismissal of Bid to Strike Out Suit

The High Court dismissed applications by Arul Kanda and Mohd Irwan to strike out the substantial US$6.59 billion suit. Judicial Commissioner Datuk Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin Shah ruled that the case necessitates a full trial to hear witness testimonies, stating that the allegations of fraud and conspiracy cannot be resolved solely through affidavits or a summary decision.
Details of Alleged Losses

The suit encompasses allegations of breach of trust and conspiracy that resulted in significant financial losses for 1MDB. These include losses amounting to US$1.83 billion related to an investment in 1MDB-Petrosaudi Ltd, which was subsequently converted into an investment in Brazen Sky Limited. Additionally, 1MDB claims misappropriation of funds totalling US$3.5 billion paid to Aabar Investments and US$1.265 billion paid to International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC).
Additional Claim Against Mohd Irwan

Beyond the broad claims, 1MDB specifically alleges that Mohd Irwan conspired with Arul Kanda to implement an Employment Extension Agreement. This led to a substantial payment of RM2,905,200 to Arul Kanda under this agreement, purportedly disregarding 1MDB's interests and causing further losses to the company.
