KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 30): The Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) revealed today that its reinvestigation on 1Malaysia Development Bhd, which was supposed to have started on Monday, Oct 29, has been delayed on the advice of Attorney-General Tommy Thomas.

"I received a letter from Mr Tommy Thomas, Attorney-General on Thursday, Oct 25, who gave his view to the Parliament's PAC to postpone the sine die proceedings in connection with 1MDB," said PAC chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee in a press statement today.

After holding a meeting with PAC members, Kiandee said he had informed Dewan Rakyat speaker Datuk Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof of the matter.

"Following the discussion, the PAC will hold a meeting with the Attorney-General as soon as possible to discuss further matters regarding the delay," he added.

On Monday, Kiandee said the inquiry — scheduled to begin yesterday with the questioning of former Auditor-General Tan Sri Ambrin Buang — has been put off for the time being, without disclosing the reason for the delay.
