Questions emerge over trials in 1MDB scandalMalaysia's Prime Minister Designate and former interior minister Muhyiddin Yassin waves to reporters before his inauguration as the 8th prime minister, outside his residence in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. The prime minister made no specific mention of the trials. US and Malaysian authorities say over $1 billion stolen from 1MDB flowed into Mr Najib's personal banks accounts. Although Mr Najib was quick to post congratulations to Mr Muhyiddin on social media, their relationship has been strained. Mr Muhyiddin was fired by Mr Najib as his deputy in 2015 after questioning his handling of 1MDB.
