"This is so that government agencies do not make any investment or loans to 1MDB from today onwards," Rafizi and Akmal told reporters in Kuala Lumpur today. The move comes after Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak confirmed that EPF, Tabung Haji and KWAP had invested in 1MDB and in subsidiaries related to the state investment fund.

The injunction against KWAP will be filed together with Sungai Petani MP Johari Abdul and former Machang MP Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. The NOW campaign also aims to appoint an independent research team to determine whether depositers want the three government agencies to dispose of all existing investments in 1MDB. “We also hope to appoint an independent research team to determine whether the rakyat agree on calls for 1MDB to be closed down. Briefings for depositers will also be conducted in major cities to encourage the people to take part in the campaign. “The first briefing will be conducted at 8.30pm on June 3, at the MPAJ auditorium in Pandan Indah. “I invite as many depositers of EPF, TH and KWAP to attend the briefing to listen for themselves the steps that can be taken to ensure that there will be no risk of losses by the funds,” Rafizi added.
