PETALING JAYA: Fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low has dismissed a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report claiming he was living "freely" in China, alleging that the article was "planted there by the Mahathir regime". In a statement issued through his attorneys Friday, Low's spokesman accused Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and WSJ of working towards a common goal. The WSJ had earlier published an article saying Malaysian officials believed China had been harbouring Low between June and July this year. "For The Wall Street Journal, it is a gross breach of journalistic ethics. "There is a clear conflict of interest in allowing reporters with a financial interest in a particular narrative to report on these matters.
