PETALING JAYA: Fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho maintains that his family home in Penang was purchased through proper means. Low said that his mother, Goh Gaik Ewe, had enjoyed good success in investment, which led to the purchase of the bungalow in Tanjung Bungah. "There is no question that the purchase and building of this family home pre-dated the very existence of 1MDB by more than a decade," Low, also known as Jho Low, said in a signed open letter. It is believed that this is the first letter Low signed off on over the matter and a spokesman usually issues statements through his lawyer's office in North Sydney, Australia. Low also claimed that the seizure of the property should the government ignored due process to exact political reprisal.
