KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 — Putrajaya today denied rumours that fugitive Malaysian businessman Jho Low had returned to the country recently with a delegation from China to negotiate a settlement of 1Malaysia Development Berhad’s (1MDB) multi-billion ringgit debt.
The rumour was first carried by news portal Sarawak Report, which claimed that the wanted Penang-born – whose real name is Low Taek Jho – had entered the country to discuss a purported “repayment package”.
Deputy Finance Minister Liew Chin Tong refuted the report in Parliament this morning when it was raised by Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
