Low Taek Jho, said to be the mastermind behind the 1MDB scandal, also takes a swipe at Pakatan Harapan over its defeat in two recent by-elections.
KUALA LUMPUR: Fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, today censured the government for selling the superyacht Equanimity at a “fire sale price” to Genting Malaysia Bhd.
Low said: “The bargain-basement sale price accepted by the Mahathir government for the yacht Equanimity is the final chapter in yet another tale of the regime’s incompetence and disregard for the rule of law.” He said proceeds from the sale had been further eroded by expenditure on the vessel’s upkeep costing RM14.3 million.
“The Mahathir government has shown that they are prepared to trash the value of the Equanimity in a misguided attack on their political opponents.Low reiterated that this was a failed public relations stunt.
