Malaysia's Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador reportedly felt “as if the Chinese government was being insincere” in the joint operation with its Malaysian counterpart to extradite Low.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 ― Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador has reportedly confirmed the whereabouts of fugitive financier Low Taek Jho or Jho Low, believed to be hiding in Macau.

“Jho Low entered Macau after being traced to his location in Thailand. Two days before the announcement of the results of the 14th general election, Jho Low was still here, but fled to the neighbouring state after the results were announced,” he reportedly said. He added that Low had also attempted to purchase properties in Cyprus, but the plan was foiled by authorities.

Wanted Penang-born Low, known to the world as Jho Low and derisively “the billion dollar whale”, had in January, insisted that he is not the mastermind of the alleged fraud of 1MDB as portrayed publicly.
