SINGAPORE (Jan 31): The Edge Media Group chairman Tong Kooi Ong has gifted whistle-blower Xavier Andre Justo RM8.2 million (US$2 million) for his help in exposing wrongdoings at 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).

Justo, his wife Laura and four-year-old son Zander visited The Edge Media Group’s office in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, on Jan 31, where they met Tong and group publisher and CEO Ho Kay Tat.
