LANGKAWI (Nov 14): Luxury yacht Equanimity which was linked to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal, arrived here today for the port of Port Klang yesterday.
The 92-meter-long yacht was currently docked at the Royal Malaysian Navy (NMR) Naval Region 3 headquarters (Mawilla 3) jetty in Bukit Malut here, said Langkawi district chief police Supt Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim.
"Two Marine Police patrol boats, namely, PA45 and PSC18 with a RMN warship, KD Teguh, had heeled the yacht at 10.35am," he said.
He, however, did not mention how long the yacht would be in Langkawi and only stated it would be under NMR supervision.
The arrival of the luxury yacht also attracted the attention of many people after the photo taken at the RMN base.
On Oct. 19, the High Court declared that it is a member of the Malaysian Government and is one of the beneficiaries of the United States.
Then, on Oct 26, the Admiralty Court has approved the terms and conditions for the bidding process for the vessel to begin from Oct 29 until Nov 28.
Lawyer Ong Chee Kwan, who represented 1MDB, said that it was worth $ 1 million (RM4.17 million).
Equanimity, valued at US $ 250 million, was allegedly bought by a Malaysian businessman, Low Taek Jho or Jho Low using money stolen from scandal-tainted 1MDB.
It was seized in Bali, Indonesia in February before it was handed over to the Malaysian government in August.
