How timely that in the heat of the Najib Addendum issue, in which 160 UMNO Division Heads gathered to demand for Najib's SRC sentence commuted to house arrest following the admittance in court by the AG Chambers lawyer that Agong's Addendum exist, suddenly the Wall Street Journal reporters claimed Jho Low is hiding out in Shanghai?
The last time something similar happened was during the 1MDB-Tanore case against Najib, in which suddenly Jasmine Looi appeared and made her appearance in court as witness for the prosecution.
In exchange, she was absolved from being charged for collaborating with Jho Low just like all those complicits of Jho Low that became witnesses in the SRC trials. Too many and too obvious the compromise by AGC to "fix" on Najib.
At the same time, it raised the suspicion of Facebooker Salahuddin Hisham that it is beyond the eyes could see:
Bradley Hope, Wall Street Journal. Linked to Goldman Sach. Linked to DOJ. Linked to US Government. I sense Geopolitical.
Mungkin CIA game coz Shanghai = China. Jangan tertipu.
US nak malukan China. Tak ada kena mengena dgn Addendum Najib. Itu dah set. Budak AMK melalak pun tak boleh buat apa2.
US desperate. Trump desperate = Jeff Epstein, potential deep vein thrombosis.
Indirectly saying Mahathir collaborated with CIA to topple Najib i.e. Malaysian government. Itu yg SENGAJA tak mahu jumpa Jho Low.
Hamid Bador has something to say. So why now?
P/S Al fatihah buat arwah Yusman Zahari Zakaria. Maklumat yg pernah kamu kongsi itu sentiasa tersemat dlm sanubari abang, Dik.
Facebooker Khai Beng Tan concurred in the comment:
I agree this is geopolitics..trying to implicate China is covering up for him ...here's my thinking ..China don't need him , they have their own experts to navigate around scantions..but I won't be surprised China wants to dig out everything on who's involved in the the 1MDB issue just like Teddy Teow of MBI.
If that is all suspicion and gutfeel, Michael Tan wrote in his Facebook:
Jho Low’s Reappearance: The Ultimate Liability for DAP
The reemergence of fugitive financier Low Taek Jho (Jho Low) — reportedly operating from China, possibly under Beijing’s protection and advising Chinese firms — is far more than a tabloid headline. It is a brutal spotlight on the hypocrisy, opportunism, and geopolitical recklessness of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), whose rise to federal power was built on the back of the 1MDB scandal.
For years, DAP’s leadership milked 1MDB for political capital:
• Lim Kit Siang made it his rallying cry;
• Tony Pua transformed himself into a self-styled 1MDB “investigator,” profiting off books and lectures;
• Lim Guan Eng, as Finance Minister, postured as Malaysia’s financial saviour;
• The Red Bean Army flooded social media with relentless propaganda demonising Najib Razak.
But today? As credible reports suggest Jho Low may be living comfortably in Shanghai — in the very China that DAP vilified to sabotage Najib’s government — they are dead silent.
Not one statement. No outrage. No demands for action.
This silence is more than political convenience. It is deeply revealing — and politically fatal.

DAP’s Real Game: Wrecking Malaysia-China Relations
While DAP postured as moral crusaders, it was systematically dismantling Malaysia’s economic future.
Under Najib Razak, Malaysia secured transformative, strategic Chinese investments:
• ECRL: a national logistics backbone and flagship Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project;
• Forest City: a smart city with links to Johor royalty;
• HSR: a KL–Singapore rail link, likely awarded to Chinese firms;
• Melaka Gateway: a deep-sea port poised to reposition Malaysia in regional maritime trade.
After PH took power in 2018, with DAP at the height of its influence, these projects were systematically attacked, delayed or cancelled — at Malaysia’s expense.
At the heart of this sabotage stood Lim Guan Eng, who as Finance Minister:
• Froze and “renegotiated” ECRL, causing massive delays and diplomatic tension;
• Declared foreigners would not receive residency through Forest City, tanking investor confidence;
• Scrapped HSR, depriving Malaysia and Singapore of a regional game-changer;
• Presided over the axing of Melaka Gateway, killing a project Malaysia could never build alone.
Meanwhile, Tony Pua recklessly accused China of colluding with Najib to launder 1MDB funds through inflated contracts like ECRL — an accusation made without hard evidence, and never substantiated even when DAP held federal power and full access to government records.

The NED–IRI Connection: Foreign Meddling and DAP’s Role
This wasn’t just domestic politicking. As Wikileaks revealed, Najib’s pivot toward China was closely monitored — and resented — by Washington.
A leaked George Soros memo in 2016 explicitly urged the U.S. to act against Najib for being “not loyal to the USA” and “getting too close to China.” It highlighted:
• CGN’s acquisition of 1MDB’s power assets;
• China Rail’s dominance near Bandar Malaysia;
• China’s growing infrastructure footprint in Malaysia.
At the same time, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and International Republican Institute (IRI) were funding and advising Malaysian opposition parties and NGOs, including DAP and its affiliates, since 2002. In 2018, IRI’s own director admitted they had “worked to strengthen Malaysia’s opposition” — clear foreign interference dressed up as democracy promotion.
DAP was the perfect vehicle for this agenda:
• They pretended to champion “good governance” while systematically undermining Najib’s pro-China pivot.
• They dismantled billions in infrastructure that would have put Malaysia ahead of ASEAN competitors.
⸻
Jho Low’s Current Status: China Holds the Cards
And now, as Jho Low reportedly enjoys sanctuary in China, DAP is paralyzed.
Why? Because China’s position is far more complex than DAP dare admit.
China doesn’t need Jho Low — they have their own financial experts, technocrats, and networks to navigate Western sanctions and global capital markets. Jho Low’s personal “advisory” value is negligible to Beijing.
But what might interest China is strategic:
China likely wants to dig deep into the 1MDB saga, just as it did with Teddy Teow and MBI Group, another massive scandal linked to Penang. By having Jho Low and Teddy Teow under their jurisdiction, China effectively holds the keys to the two biggest financial scandals to rock Malaysia in recent history.
And at the center of both scandals’ political fallout? DAP — neck-deep in the 1MDB affair, complicit in wrecking Malaysia-China relations, and now exposed as a hypocritical, foreign-influenced actor whose moral grandstanding masked an agenda that served others, not Malaysia.
⸻
The Political Cost: Will Jho Low Become a Liability for PH and DAP?
Without question.
Jho Low is a walking reminder of DAP’s duplicity — a reminder that their self-righteous anti-1MDB campaign was never about justice or governance, but about destroying Najib and dismantling Malaysia’s strategic shift eastward.
The Malaysian public knows:
• DAP froze and killed projects that would have benefited generations.
• DAP played right into foreign hands, actively dismantling Malaysia’s chance to be a BRI hub.
• And now, as Jho Low hides under China’s shadow, DAP cowers in silence — unable to demand action because it would expose their own history of reckless antagonism towards Beijing.
Jho Low is no longer just a fugitive. He is an indictment of DAP’s entire political culture: opportunistic, hypocritical, destructive, and subservient to foreign interests that sought to keep Malaysia weak, divided, and disconnected from regional economic integration.
⸻
Conclusion: DAP’s Silence is Their Guilt
DAP’s silence today is not neutrality. It is an admission of guilt and political cowardice.
Their anti-1MDB crusade was never about protecting Malaysia; it was about scoring political points, wrecking national development, and pleasing foreign sponsors who sought to undermine Malaysia-China relations.
Now, China holds both Teddy Teow and Jho Low — and with them, the keys to exposing who really benefited from these scandals, who played along, and who sabotaged Malaysia’s future for petty politics.
And DAP is neck-deep in it all — complicit, exposed, and politically vulnerable.
Jho Low’s reappearance ensures that DAP’s duplicity will haunt them, and PH, for years to come.
We have not heard the last of Jho Low. For all you know, he was the Chinaman shopkeeper selling oriental food in Lubbock, Texas for the last 10 years.
