MPs urge govt to bring back Jho Low

Two members of Parliament (MPs) today urged the government to work with foreign countries to bring fugitive businessmen Low Taek Jho or Jho Low home for his alleged involvement in 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) irregularities.

Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin (PH-Hang Tuah Jaya) said that the government should use political will to arrest the businessman to be tried in Malaysian courts.

"Do take note that an individual who has not to be arrested is Jho Low, the number one puppet master yet to be detained by the government.

"Don't let Jho Low free to go to Macau, Australia and to have vacation anywhere because this number one traitor of the country needs to be arrested immediately," he said while debating the motion of thanks for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's royal address in the Dewan Rakyat today.

Also shared the Hang Tuah Jaya MP's sentiment was Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan (BN-Pontian) who said that Jho Low was not the only person, as there were several other individuals including former SRC International chief executive officer Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil should also be brought back to Malaysia to tell the truth, in relation to the case.

It was reported in the media today that Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador said that there were strong indications that Jho Low was hiding in Macau.
