: Related:Decision to clear Malaysian prime minister 'impossible' to overturn It very unusual, and against normal protocol, for a senior official of one country to speak publicly on the internal matters of another country, according to The Guardian. Yet that is what the Swiss Attorney General has done, he said. In the most scathing response by a member of the government to date, Malaysia Minister of Communications Salleh Said Keruak told the Guardian that these premature statements appear to have been made without a full and comprehensive appreciation of all the facts. The rebuke adds fire to a burgeoning diplomatic standoff between Malaysia and Switzerland, one of several countries investigating corruption at 1MDB , a heavily-indebted state fund whose advisory board is headed by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak. The premier critics allege the transfers was in fact linked to the 1MDB, an accusation that 1MDB, the attorney general and the prime minister deny. Najib was himself cleared of corruption in Malaysia a week ago by the country attorney general, who said the Saudi royal family was the source of a $681m donation to Najib personal accounts just before the 2013 election.
