KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 ― Lim Guan Eng said today it was incomprehensible why the police have not tracked down Low Taek Jho for investigations here when the billionaire businessman is not even in hiding.

The Bagan MP said the police should commit “full resources” to locate Low, or better known as Jho Low, who was in August named as one of three individuals wanted for questioning in the anti-graft investigation on SRC International Sdn Bhd.

“Has the police contacted Jho Low's family, especially his father who was awarded a Tan Sri after the 2013 general elections?

“The public can not understand how the police still can not trace and locate Jho Low, when he is a well-connected millionaire who is in open public view, and not hiding like a terrorist,” the DAP secretary-general said in a statement.

Apart from Low, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had also in an August 22 statement summoned SRC's managing director Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil and director Datuk Suboh Md Yassin for questioning.

Shortly after MACC's statement, Low’s representative reportedly said that the businessman will cooperate with the commission. There have been no further reports on the matter since then.

Yesterday, a written parliamentary reply by Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that the Interpol unit in Malaysia has not received any requests to locate Low, Nik Faisal and three others: former 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) executive directors Casey Tang Keng Chee and Jasmine Loo Ai Swan, and former Goldman Sachs Group Incorporation Malaysia's country chairman for corporate finance Datuk Yusof Annuar Yaacob.

According to the reply, Zahid said the unit was “unable to trace and track” the five as the police have not opened any investigation on the individuals.

Lim today said his party was “shocked” at the minister's reply.

He noted that it is public knowledge that both Nik Faisal and Low are wanted by the MACC for its probe on SRC, a former subsidiary of 1MDB, while Tang and Loo are wanted by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) for a 1MDB-related investigation.

“The police should be more aggressive and diligent in trying to trace these key personalities at the centre of the 1MDB scandal, especially Jho Low,” he said.

In a posting on its Facebook page in July , BNM released a “Wanted” poster carrying details of Tang and Loo to “assist investigation under the Exchange Control Act 1953”.

It urged anyone with information on Tang 50, and Loo, 42 to contact them or file a report at the nearest police station.

Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali in a recent interview with The Malaysian Insider told the news portal that MACC officers have already recorded statements from Nik Faisal and Suboh.

Low is frequently linked to 1MDB due to his role in its predecessor, but has not been formally called for any of the investigations into the firm.

Yusof Annuar is now the country chief for Deutsche Bank, which is leading a consortium of six banks that wants 1MDB to settle a RM3.5 billion loan ahead of its September 2015 deadline.

He was heading Goldman Sachs when the US bank arranged for the issue of RM17.1 billion in bonds in two transactions for 1MDB in 2012 and 2013.
