Future Forward says Prayut helped 1MDB cover-upFormer Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak arrives at Kuala Lumpur High Court in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Dec 3, 2019. (Reuters file photo)The newly-disbanded Future Forward Party on Sunday accused the former military junta of helping cover up Malaysia's multi-billion-dollar 1MDB scandal, urging Thais to demand the truth ahead of a censure debate against Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha. The Future Forward Party, the third-largest party in parliament, was dissolved on Friday by the Constitutional Court over a loan it took from its billionaire founder. "The only person who can issue these orders is Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha," she added. A spokesman for the Malaysian prime minister's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
