1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB): A Malaysia-based sovereign wealth fund, 1MDB was established by the Malaysian government to drive strategic initiatives for the country’s long-term economic development. Headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, its primary focus areas included energy, real estate, tourism, and agribusiness, aiming to attract foreign investment and fund infrastructure projects. However, 1MDB gained international notoriety for a massive corruption scandal involving the alleged embezzlement of billions of dollars, leading to global investigations and its current liquidation.
