The Spin

Narrative A

Goldman Sachs has every right to demand arbitration in this case, as the government of Malaysia has, in bad faith, tried to take advantage of its asymmetrical power by demanding a new settlement with more onerous penalties as well as by not being transparent with regard to the recovery of looted assets.

South China Morning Post

Narrative B

It's clear that Goldman Sachs has sued Malaysia only to divert attention away from its obligation to hand over the agreed $250M interim payment, as the company has failed to recover the stipulated amount of $500M two years from the signing of the deal. After an entire year requiring deadline extensions, apparently in good faith, Goldman has shown its malicious intention.
