Arul Kanda Kandasamy

Arul Kanda Kandasamy (born 1977), better known as Arul Kanda, is the former president and chief executive officer (CEO) of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). 1MDB is a company owned by the Ministry of Finance in Malaysia.

He became CEO on 5 January 2015 after Mohd Hazem Abdul Rahman resigned.

1MDB has been investigated for moving money in suspicious ways and for possible money laundering. A lawsuit by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) said that at least US$7.5 billion was stolen from 1MDB.

In June 2018, Malaysian authorities removed Arul Kanda from his job at 1MDB. Later, on 12 December 2019, he and Najib Razak were charged together for tampering with the 1MDB audit report.
