FORMER CEO and artiste Jason Lo has denied a newspaper report on his ex-wife’s claims of molestation against their children, accusing her of “brainwashing” them and slamming the newspaper for unethical journalism.

Lo was not named in The Star’s report three days ago, but today revealed himself to be the person in the case, which police are said to be relooking.

Adamant that he had committed no crime, Lo, in a Facebook post, shut down point-by-point allegations reported in The Star, which included “graphic” details of what he supposedly made the children do.

“I have committed no crime.

“You may refer to (the doctors) who evaluated the children. These allegations have been investigated several times,” he said in a Facebook post.

Lo was referring to doctors at the Malaysian Psychotherapy Association, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, the Welfare Department and the police.

Lo also slammed the daily for publishing claims made by his ex-wife that could have been verified by police reports he had lodged and questioned if the newspaper had read them.

“Are we only reading reports from a single party?” he said.

Lo also cast doubt on the qualifications of a counsellor engaged by his ex-wife to produce video testimony of one of his daughters, claiming that he (Lo) had put his penis in her hand while she was sleeping.

He said he was shocked when the video was played in court during divorce proceedings and that thereafter, he had filed affidavits to debunk it.

“This claim is evil. I do not know of the event and am pretty sure I don’t ‘sleep-molest’ either. 

“This was awful for a child to grow up hearing and we filed affidavits during the divorce with testimonies on this horrific rubbish,” Lo said. 

Lo said he did not believe that the counsellor his ex-wife engaged was a licenced professional, saying he was the author of a book titled Our Present Day Universe Is like a Japanese Porn Star.

He said if he had indeed done the “graphic” things he was accused of, the police and Welfare Department would have taken action, such as arresting him, by now.

Lo added that the accusation that he had trespassed on his ex-wife’s property was untrue as he had obtained a covering report from the police to go to the house to retrieve his son. This, he said, was one of various points of fact The Star had failed to report.

Lo said he had gone to his ex-wife house after she had failed to return the boy, whom they have joint custody over, after an agreed stay over. Lo said after, he could not reach the boy on his phone or his mother.

He said it has now been seven months since he last saw his son, and that he has since filed a missing persons report.

“He has not been back to school. I do not know his status. He has human rights and rights under the Child’s Act and Education Act. He is missing. I have not seen him or contacted him in all that time. No explanation has been given. The mother even changed houses without informing anyone,” Lo said.

Debunking other claims reported by the newspaper, Lo said he was stating facts that had been “corroborated by agencies, police, child welfare services” and others. 

“These are all documented historically and true. They have gone through real professionals.”

He said his ex-wife had used the newspaper as a tool after losing all the cases she had brought to the shariah court over the four years of their divorce trial.

“I give my ex open access (to the children) but she has already burned her relationship with the girls by constantly trying to brainwash them.

“My kids have been subjected to brainwashing, put in a chair and told repeatedly ‘Daddy is a bad man, he touched you… etc’. 

“I never claimed to be father of the year, but I love my kids more than anything in the world,” Lo said, adding that he would hold the newspaper “accountable” for its actions.

Since it was posted on Facebook three hours ago, Lo’s post has been shared more than 200 times and received numerous comments, most of them urging him to fight back and stay positive. – May 28, 2019.
