MACC urges duo to show up or face legal action

KUALA LUMPUR: Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, and SRC International Sdn Bhd director Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil Nik Othman Arif Kamil will face legal action if they fail to appear before the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

MACC Deputy Chief Commissioner (operations) Datuk Seri Azam Baki said they had no excuse not to turn up to facilitate investigations into SRC International.

“I refuse to comment on what action could be taken against them. As far as I know, they cannot give excuses and must present themselves. As such, MACC urges them to come forward to assist in investigations.”

On Thursday, MACC issued a statement asking Jho Low and Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil to contact the commission immediately.

Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, 47, whose MyKad number is 71030410-6303, is last known to reside at No. 17&19, Jalan Tun Teja 35/16, Alam Impian, Shah Alam, Selangor.

Jho Low, 37, whose MyKad number is 811104-07-5701, previously resided at No. 69, Tanjung Bungah Park, Tanjung Bungah, Penang.

The Prime Minister’s Office, in a statement earlier, had announced the setting up of a special task force to conduct detailed investigations, detection and seizure of assets, and prosecution of individuals who committed criminal offences in the mismanagement of 1Malaysia Development Bhd.
