ARUL Kanda Kandasamy who was yesterday called “utterly dishonest and untrustworthy” by the finance minister, is now seeking legal advice to counter the “damaging and personal attacks”.

The 1MDB president today issued a statement denying Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng’s potentially defamatory and personal statements made at a press conference

Arul Kanda said it was unfair of Lim to make public statement which allegedly did not fully and accurately represent the way the questions were put and answered.

“The circumstances I was in and the context of my answers were conveniently left out, such that it produces a false impression and puts me in a bad light.

“Therefore, in my personal capacity, not in relation to my employment and specifically only in relation to his statement, I have sought legal advice from my lawyers to advise me on my options,” Arul Kanda said. – May 24, 2018.
