LOW Taek Jho, or Jho Low, and SRC International Sdn Bhd director Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil will face legal action if they fail to appear before the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, said deputy chief commissioner (operations) Azam Baki .

Azam said there was no excuse for them to not turn up to facilitate investigations into the SRC International case.

“I refuse to comment on what action can be taken against both of them. As far as I know, they cannot give any excuses and must present themselves.

“As such, MACC urges them to come forward to assist in the investigation into the case,” he told Bernama today.

MACC issued a statement yesterday asking Low and Nik Faisal to contact the commission immediately to assist in the investigations.

Nik Faisal, 47, whose identity card number is 710304-10-6303, last stayed at No. 17 and No. 19, Jalan Tun Teja 35/16, Alam Impian, Shah Alam, in Selangor.

Low, 37, whose IC reads 811104-07-5701, previously resided at No. 69, Tanjung Bungah Park, Tanjung Bungah, Penang.

The Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement earlier that a special task force would be set up to conduct detailed investigations, detection, seizure of assets, and prosecution of individuals who committed criminal offences in the management of 1Malaysia Development Bhd.

SRC International was a 1MDB subsidiary before being placed under the Finance Ministry in 2012. – Bernama, June 8, 2018.
