KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 2): Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today sidestepped queries on the whereabouts of businessman Low Taek Jho and Riza Aziz, the stepson of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat, Ahmad Zahid, who is also the home minister, said he prefers to let the "relevant department" respond to the question. "Jho Low is a corruption fugitive now, and Riza Aziz was seen in the same official Malaysia government plane with our prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to China. Without responding to further queries on the matter, Ahmad Zahid continued wrapping up his Budget 2017 speech for the home ministry. Riza was reported to be on the same flight as Najib during the prime minister's official visit to China earlier this week.
