Dr M on the hunt for Jho Low; Hisham won't contest Umno top posts

KINI ROUNDUP | Here are the key headlines you may have missed.

The hunt for Jho Low

Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad confirmed that authorities are seeking to arrest 1MDB-linked tycoon Jho Low, but that he is in a country where Malaysia doesn't have an extradition treaty.

Sources told Malaysiakini that Low had attempted to make contact with Mahathir after Pakatan Harapan won the May 9 general election.

Singapore says it had place Low on Interpol's red notice since 2016.

Putrajaya may ask the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to get Goldman Sachs to return nearly US$600 million in fees it earned from bonds raised for 1MDB. 

Hisham won't contest Umno top posts

Former defence minister Hishammuddin Hussein says he will not contest any of Umno's top posts. 

Mahathir told Umno presidential-hopeful Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at a meeting that the party had betrayed the Malays.

Meanwhile, outgoing Federal Territories Umno Youth chief Razlan Rafii said Umno needs a new captain to salvage the party.

Potential Umno president candidate Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah will give a talk on the party's future direction at Kelab Sultan Sulaiman on June 11.

Blogger Papagomo asked Zahid to step aside and make way for Razaleigh to become Umno president.
