Malaysia has yet to secure the cooperation of an unspecified country to extradite fugitive businessperson Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, according to Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
"We are discussing (with this particular country) but until now, there is no trace of him.
"We know where he is but we cannot proceed with the matter to bring him back unless the country cooperates," he said at a ceramah in Semenyih tonight.
It was last reported that Malaysia was dealing with China to bring back the businessperson, who is wanted for the 1MDB-related scandals.
However, the absence of an extradiction treaty between both countries complicated the matter.
Last month, inspector-general of police Mohamad Fuzi Harun said the police held a meeting with authorities in China to detect Low.
Low is the alleged mastermind behind the 1MDB scandal, which saw more than US$4.5 billion misappropriated from the state fund.
Toll-related announcement coming soon
Muhyiddin, who is also Harapan Election Committee chairperson and leading the election campaign in Semenyih, said the government would make a toll-related announcement soon.
However, he declined to divulge further details.
Following Harapan's loss in the Cameron Highlands by-election, Bersatu Negeri Sembilan chief Rais Yatim had suggested that the government should abolish a toll to secure victory in Semenyih.
Yesterday, PSM candidate Nik Aziz Afiq Abdul staged a flash mob in front of the Semenyih toll along the Kajang-Seremban Highway (Lekas) in protest of the government's failure to keep to its word of abolishing tolls.
Malaysia is the last country to expect cooperation from other countries regarding extradition when india's request for extradition of the fugitive zakir naik was blatantly disregarded
Name the country ! The world would want to know which country would like to harbour criminals who stole billions from their own country !
Fat boy is in an unspecified country with no name. Meanwhile your police chief stated that fat boy is in China. Get your facts in order before you make any announcement. You are inviting criticism from the tax payers.
