Khairy: PAC must probe Jho Low over involvement in 1MDB

(The Star) – Businessman Jho Low must be probed over his alleged involvement in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) issue, insists Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Youth and Sports Minister said that speculation over Low’s role in the controversy is too great to be ignored by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). “Whatever way you look at this issue, Jho Low’s fingerprints are all over the place

“If you want to do a thorough investigation into 1MDB, you have to call him up.

“I believe the public wants this too,” said Khairy to reporters after inspecting the Putrajaya Youth Festival site here on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, PAC chairman Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said the committee saw no need at present to call up Low or Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for questioning over the 1MDB issue.

“I hold on to his (Nur Jazlan) words ‘at the moment’. But eventually they have to call Jho Low up. There cannot be any sort of closure if Jho Low is not questioned,” said Khairy.
