PETALING JAYA: The special task force set up to investigate allegations levelled at 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) should be allowed to submit its results and findings before anyone - including Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin - comments about the issue, said the Prime Minister's Office on Monday.

"The investigation is ongoing and we should give those involved space to perform their duties.

"Therefore, all parties - especially those from the Government including Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin - should wait for the findings of the investigation to be released.

"It would be wise not to make statements that could cloud the people's perception of the country's leaders, the Government and Umno," it said in a press statement.

"The people's support for the Government and the party will be eroded if we fight among ourselves.

"In this regard, the actions of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in making unsubstantiated accusations, including the loss of 1MDB's RM42bil despite clarification provided by the Government, have contributed to the erosion of confidence in the Government and the party," it added.
