Malaysians are currently facing an economic issue as the ringgit has been growing weaker against the dollar and while we face this, there are still people out there living their lives like no tomorrow. When we say that, we don&rsquo;t mean our usual Malaysians but the infamous financial fugitive Low Taek Jho AKA Jho Low.
For those who don&rsquo;t know him, he&rsquo;s one of those involved in the infamous 1MDB financial corruption which involves allegations of financial mismanagement, embezzlement and money laundering.

Several people have been involved in this issue such as former Prime Minister Najib Razak who is currently serving time in the Kajang Prison. The investigation of the 1MDB scandal has involved various parties including the United States Department of Justice and authorities in Singapore, Switzerland and other countries as assets worth billions of dollars have been seized and are subjected to asset recovery efforts.
Jho Low&rsquo;s Associate Arrested
As of now, the case looks to be going in a positive direction and authorities have been closing in on several of Jho Low&rsquo;s associates. Back in May, his right-hand man, Kee Kok Thiam had returned to Malaysia and was detained but later passed away due to a massive sudden stroke. This time around former 1MDB lawyer Jasmine Loo Ai Swan has reappeared in the case.

She was initially issued a warrant of arrest in 2018 and shortly after, she and several other associates of the 1MDB case failed to appear in court to face charges along with former SRC International CEO Naik Faisal Ariff Kamil, former 1MDB executive director Tang Keng Chee and Geh Choh Heng, who had all left Malaysia before 9th May for the 14th General Elections.
In January 2023, the Kuala Lumpur High Court reportedly announced to forfeit of two luxury cars and RM22,600 in case that belonged to Jasmine to the government but she was nowhere to be found till last Friday (7 July) when she was arrested by the authorities.
During a news conference, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said that she was arrested the following day at the Dang Wangi police station to assist in the 1MDB scandal investigations. He believes that Jasmine has information regarding the scandal and told the media that her lawyer is ready to offer her cooperation to the police and government.

For now, further details of her arrest are unknown as Saifuddin declined to comment further on her arrest but it&rsquo;s noted that she is being investigated under Section 409 of the Penal Code where she&rsquo;ll face a punishment of imprisonment of 2 to 20 years, whipping and a fine.
Though the case has been public since August 2015, many of the key players involved have not been arrested including Jho Low who&rsquo;s been spotted partying with A-List celebrities from time to time. His current whereabouts currently remain unknown.
Hopefully, with the assistance from Jasmine Loo, the case would come closer to an end but not too soon by the looks of it. If you were to search his name, there&rsquo;s a lot of news of him losing money to gambling to even paying off rapper Pras Michel to get Donald Trump to drop the 1MDB investigation.

Could her cooperation lead authorities to Jho Low? Let’s hope and see if we’ll finally get to see an end to this case.
