What was the stated purpose of 1MDB in the material?

• A. To pursue investment and development projects for the economic benefit of Malaysia and its people
• B. To fund education abroad
• C. To finance the national soccer team
• D. To support small businesses only

Answer: (A)

The question tests understanding of 1MDB’s stated mission as described in the material: to pursue investment and development projects for the economic benefit of Malaysia and its people. This broad, development-focused purpose frames 1MDB as a government-owned entity aimed at large-scale investments and infrastructure to spur national economic growth, rather than narrow or unrelated goals. The other options describe specific, limited activities (education abroad, a national soccer program, or small-business support only) that don’t capture the overall mission as stated. Therefore, the stated purpose aligns with pursuing investments and development projects for Malaysia’s economic benefit.
