TUDM deal: PM urged to reveal ‘mystery man’
By B Nanthakumar, Free Malaysia Today
KOTA BARU: PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mat Akin has challenged Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to disclose details of the mystery man who has been linked to his son and wife Rosmah Mansor in the controversial Sungai Besi air base (TUDM) land deal.
Speaking to reporters after the morning session of the youth wing Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) congress, he said speculations were rife that the man, Joh Low, had secured a RM500 million contract for the development of TUDM in Sungai Besi.
“We have been told that he (Low) had secured a RM500 million contract for the TUDM deal. This is a serious allegation. We want the PM to clarify this,“ he said.
Shamsul said Low’s lifestyle in the US was also a matter of concern.
He said last year the New York Post had reported that a Malaysian known as Joh Low had “spent US$50,000 in one night in New York”.
‘We are wondering how a 20-something person could come into so much wealth,” he said.
Earlier, in his speech, Shamsul urged the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate Low’s flamboyant lifestyle.
“We want the MACC to find out where he got his wealth. We also want to know how he linked up with our political bigwigs,” he said.
Last night at the official opening of the congress, Shamsul said he would be making an “explosive revelation” of the TUDM deal, which was linked to an “associate” of Rosmah.
Without disclosing the name of the associate, Shamsul said the free-spending mystery man was a wealthy 28-year-old Chinese with ties to Hollywood.
Shamsul said the young businessman had been spotted on the Hollywood social scene with Megan Fox, star of blockbuster movie, Transformers.
Promising to reveal more at today’s congress, he said: “Tomorrow (today), I will reveal things about a particular personality, a graduate of an overseas university.”
