Gooi asked if Ahmad Bashah was referring to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuits to seize some US$1 billion worth of assets in the US bought with "stolen money" from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).[8]

Ahmad Bashah had said that he did not want any “foreign element” to determine the country's future leaders and to take over what the government had developed.[9]
