Jho Low's close friend slams seizure of family mansion

  • 5 years ago
A close friend of 1MDB-linked businessperson Low Taek Jho has criticised the seizure of his family home in Tanjung Bungah.

Yan Lee, who runs the NGO Citizens Awareness Chant Group, said in a statement today that the mansion has nothing to do with the troubled sovereign fund.

Yan noted that he has known Low’s parents, Larry Low and Goh Gaik Ewe, for more than two decades.

Echoing Jho Low, he said the Tanjung Bungah bungalow could not be connected to 1MDB as it was built many years ago, predating the scandal.
