Zahid: Request forwarded to Interpol to locate Jho Low
Deputy prime minister adds that the police have not received any information on the matter.KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says the government has forwarded a request to Interpol to locate Malaysian businessman Low Taek Jho.
Zahid, who is also home minister, added that the police had not received any information on the matter.
“We are confident that Interpol will act professionally,” he told the Dewan Rakyat today.
Speaking during the question-and-answer session, he said the spy agencies were prioritising the case and that it was not relevant “unless it is brought up by politicians unhappy with the reply”.
According to Zahid, the new Interpol president is China’s vice minister of public security.
He was replying to Mohamed Azmin Ali (PKR-Gombak), who had asked an additional question on Low, better known as Jho Low.
Azmin wanted to know the home ministry’s stand on obtaining Interpol’s assistance to locate and detain the businessman.
Prosecutors in Singapore have named Low as the central figure in probes linked to 1MDB, adding that he used money traceable to the state fund for his own benefit.
In court filings, the prosecutors said Low had received “huge” sums of money.
According to the filings, some US$1 billion (RM4.3 billion) that 1MDB purportedly invested in a joint venture with PetroSaudi International Ltd was diverted to a bank account beneficially owned by Low, who has disappeared from the public eye.

ZAHID IS TALKING THROUGH HIS ARSE.
I CHALLENGE ZAHID TO GIVE ME THE AUTHORIZATION LETTER TO LOCATE AND BRING JLO LOW BACK TO MALAYSIA.
NO NEED TO GO THROUGH INTERPOL.
SO CALLED LEADERS CAN ONLY TALK BUT CANNOT DO. THAT IS WHY THEY WANT TO USE RELIGION, SPEAKER TO BLOCK QUESTIONS AGAINST THEIR CORRUPTION AND INCOMPETENCY IN PARLIAMENT, UNIFORM BODIES AND MALAY THUGS TO SHUT VOICE OF REASONING.
