KUALA LUMPUR: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will continue its proceedings on 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) by summoning the company's current and former chairmen in January.
1MDB chairman Tan Sri Lodin Wok Kamaruddin will be called on Jan 19 while the company's ex-chairman Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh a day later.
According to PAC chairman Datuk Hasan Arifin (pix), if there was a need, 1MDB's former president and chief executive officer Datuk Shahrol Halmi would be recalled to help complete the investigations.
